Cheap Hotels in Bangkok

"I have to say, this hotel was really great, and the price-performance ratio was excellent 😊 Although there's some construction going on in the area right now, making transportation a bit inconvenient, the location is king 😎 The best part is that hotels usually charge guests a deposit (either cash or credit card, which is refunded upon check-out). But what surprised me was that they only recorded your credit card payment and didn't charge you anything, so we didn't have to worry about any follow-up on refunds 👍 This is so awesome 👏 I was originally planning to pay cash (6000 🐷) 🥲 and thought, ”Another 6000 less for shopping!” 😅 Now I'm so happy 🥳 Okay, next, let me introduce this hotel 🏨 First: 1) The hotel is above a shopping mall ☝️ (You need to take the elevator from the 1st floor to the hotel lobby on the 7th floor) 2) Hotel lobby There's a massage shop right next door. I initially thought those in hotels would be expensive 😅, but the prices were about the same as outside, so convenient! 👍 (If you don't mind what others think, you can even go for a massage in your pajamas, since the massage shop is right outside the elevator.) 3) Next, there's McDonald's and Starbucks downstairs, selling snacks 😃😃, which is a big plus 😜 4) Pratunam Mall, December, Central World, 7-Eleven, morning/night market, and the famous pork leg rice are all just a few minutes' walk away 👍 So convenient! Finally, the hotel room is spacious and the soundproofing is excellent 👏 You can't hear any road construction noise outside at all 👍 A little anecdote (from my daughter comment): ”Mom, this mini-fridge is really cold!” 😂 (Because I always complain that the hotel fridge isn't cold, hahaha) 😄 This little girl really knows her mom so well 😅"

"the hotel is so dirty with ants and I changed rooms twice, and both times the rooms were teeming with ants and cockroaches. The 11th floor had a simpler and more modern decor, while the 17th floor was quite dilapidated. The hotel's only redeeming quality is its convenient location. It's accessible by both the airport rail link and the traditional national railway, with the Hua Lam Peak railway terminal just two baht away. The Namnueng Pier ferry on the Khlong Saeng Canal also provides access to Pratunam for eighteen baht. The hotel is located next to Ramkhamhaeng Road, with public buses providing access to Wat Yannawa, the Khun Kyi Commercial Centre, the World Trade Center, the Democracy Monument, the Victory Monument, and other landmarks. On the other hand, so noise if you stay at even number room, because this wing is face to the railway. The beafast is not changed, everydays the same."

"We booked a room in rhe main tower with a king bed. Location was good, walking distance to Platinum Mall, Big C supermarket and Central World. BTS is also within walking distance. Housekeeping services are very prompt. They refills toothbrushes, shower caps and sanitary bags daily. Buffet breakfast was also delicious with a wide variety, japanese, indian, chinese noodles, salads, yoghurt and juices and coffee. Spacious room, big bathrooms and clean bedsheets. Towels look worn out but clean. We stayed at L18 but we realised we do not need to tap our room cards for access to this level."

"VELA be Bangkok Ratchathewi is a hidden gem that strikes a perfect balance between modern chic and authentic local charm. During my recent stay, I was immediately struck by the hotel’s minimalist yet warm aesthetic. Nestled in a quiet alley just a 7-10 minute walk from the Ratchathewi BTS Station, it offers a peaceful retreat while keeping the bustling energy of Siam and Pratunam within easy reach. Comfortable Rooms & Exceptional Sleep The highlight of the room was undoubtedly the sleep quality. The mattress and pillows are exceptionally plush—often cited by guests as some of the most comfortable in Bangkok. My room was immaculately clean and thoughtfully designed with: • Smart TV for easy streaming. • Reliable, high-speed WiFi. • Daily housekeeping that maintained a high standard of hygiene. Seamless Service & Thoughtful Amenities The hospitality here feels genuine. The staff are incredibly accommodating, and the free electric tuk-tuk shuttle to the BTS station is a lifesaver in the Bangkok heat. Other appreciated touches included the 24/7 complimentary coffee/tea station in the lobby and the convenient luggage-weighing scale—perfect for those planning a shopping spree at nearby MBK or Platinum Fashion Mall. Location & Local Vibe While the hotel is in a ”slower” part of the district, stepping around the corner reveals a vibrant local scene. There are multiple 7-Elevens nearby and an abundance of affordable street food stalls and massage shops that provide a much more authentic experience than the typical tourist traps. Minor Considerations • Space: Like many boutique hotels in central Bangkok, the rooms (especially the Smart King) are cozy. If you have large suitcases, you might find it a bit tight. • Sound: Soundproofing could be improved, as noise from the hallway can occasionally drift into the room. Overall Verdict: With its stylish design, superb breakfast buffet, and top-tier service, VELA be Bangkok Ratchathewi offers incredible value for money. It is an ideal choice for travelers who want to be near the city center without sacrificing the quiet, local feel of a traditional neighborhood. I would certainly return for those pillows alone!"

"The place is clean and nice. The rooms is lovely. Love that the toilet and bathroom is seperate. Also happy that amenities are given upon request which minimise wastage. Only two downside. The hotel is quite a walk to the main Satorn/Silom area (about 5 to 10 mins walk depending how fast). Although there is a shuttle just need to areange your time. The other is the room have quite bad sound proofing. Not from outside but jjst outside my door. Other than than all is great"

"I always stay at this hotel. Located near the airport, perfect if you have a layover on your trip. The pool is amazing and the service is good. I always go shopping on the different outlet malls. I will for sure book this hotel next time I come to Bangkok."

"My stay at Siam@Siam Design Hotel Bangkok was excellent. One of the highlights was how photogenic the hotel is—I took some amazing photos throughout the property thanks to its unique artistic design, stylish interiors, and stunning city views. Every corner of the hotel feels creative and full of character, making it perfect for photography lovers. The location is fantastic, within walking distance of MBK Center, Siam Center, Siam Paragon, and the BTS National Stadium station, making it easy to explore Bangkok. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, with great views of the city skyline. The staff were friendly and professional, always ready to help. The breakfast offered a good selection of food, and the rooftop area was a great place to relax while enjoying the Bangkok skyline. Overall, Siam@Siam Design Hotel Bangkok combines excellent service, a prime location, and a unique design that creates a memorable experience. I especially enjoyed taking photos around the hotel and would happily stay here again."

"I stayed at Youyen Hostel DMK recently. The room and bathroom were reasonably clean, which was good, and they also provided shampoo and shower gel. However, there were a few things that could definitely be improved. When I arrived in the afternoon, I had to wait around 30 minutes because nobody was at the reception. There were also other guests waiting at the same time. During my stay, I noticed the reception desk was often empty, so getting help usually meant waiting for someone to come back. The breakfast was quite basic, more like a light snack than a proper breakfast. Another issue was the air conditioning, which does not run all the time and only works during certain hours. The shower in my bathroom was also broken. Overall, the hostel is decent for a short stay near DMK airport, especially if you just need a budget-friendly place, but the service and facilities could be managed better."

"Every time I visit, I choose this hotel. The facilities are complete, it's clean and hygienic, and the location is incredibly convenient. You can find everything you need for dining, entertainment, and shopping. It's in the best spot between Nana and Asok, offering a quiet retreat in the midst of the hustle and bustle."

"I have found this hotel few years ago, however we didn’t have a chance to stay there until now. I expected high standards of services and comfort of room and I can say that this hotel has definitely reached my expectations completely. It’s stylish, comfortable and rooms are spacious with everything what is needed for shorter or longer stay. We will definitely stay here again when we’ll stay for a night or two in Bangkok."
