2-Star Hotels in Bangkok

This hotel is absolutely fantastic, even better than the pictures! The location is excellent – just a 150-meter walk straight from Ratchathewi station. It's very close to the Siam shopping area, and you can easily walk to Central World and Platinum Fashion Mall in about fifteen minutes. The room facilities are all brand new, and the bedding and toiletries are top-notch. Every detail shows care, making for a very comfortable stay. Huge thumbs up! The staff are very welcoming and helped carry our luggage upstairs; their service is thoughtful and attentive. If I had to pick a downside, the bathroom sink is a bit small, but still perfectly functional. Also, the noise from motorbikes on the street outside is unavoidable, but it gets much better after midnight. I'll definitely choose this hotel again next time I'm in Bangkok!

it was an AWESOME STAY but location is a little hard to find at first. overall place was clean and people were friendly! toilet was CLEAAAAN. there is also a communal hairdryer it works pretty well. at night there is a fish auction i think. therefore, walking to 711 at 3am is pretty safe. personally as there is more people there late at night i feel it is safer. it is located beside the fish market so if you're sensitive to smells it might not be suited for you. there is also an ATM nearby. The BTS and pier is also near the hostel therefore transportation is prettty solid. lots of common areas to do your work! rooms are pretty soundproof as well! i did NOT encounter much mosquitos surprisingly! i had a mosquito bite like 5 times throughout my stay. i did not wear insect repellent at all! able to put your own food in the common fridge. shoe locker is also provided! there is also a locker to put all your stuff. there is luggage space but it is in the common area and the door is easily accessible. please do buy a lock for your luggage bedding is GOOD, mattress is GOOD, pillow can get uncomfortable though, not much neck support. a really good seafood buffet located beside the hostel! overall, i would DEFINITELY COME BACK! loved my stay there. if you're not bothered by fish smells this is probably the place for you!

This is a youth hostel, and we were traveling with our parents. Although there wasn't a kettle in the room, there's one on the first floor where you can get hot water for free. There's also a security gate on each floor, which makes it very safe – people who aren't staying here can't go up. There's no elevator, but the staff were really enthusiastic and helped us carry our luggage upstairs, which we really appreciated! The family room had an inner window, so ventilation wasn't great, but it was nice and quiet. The overall decor is very new and the style is simple. The common areas are quite well-equipped, with a kitchen, laundry room, dining area, tea tables and chairs, and computers. The front desk offers 24-hour service. There's a 400 deposit, which the staff returns after checking the room at checkout.

We stayed here to be close to the palace and the location was excellent. The room was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. The hotel was brand new and very modern. Breakfast and coffee in the morning was a nice bonus. Thank you 🙏

The room was decent and in a very convenient location. It’s about a 6-minute walk to BTS Phaya Thai, and there’s a shortcut we used every day. It’s also just a 5-minute walk to the Pratunam area, plus there are two nearby 7-Eleven stores, which was very convenient. The room itself was okay but quite old. I appreciated that they provided free coffee and bread. The daily cleaning service was great, and they consistently refilled the water bottles. I also really enjoyed the bathtub. The staff were friendly, and we even became good friends with one of the hotel guard, who was Vietnamese. However, there were some issues. One night, I saw a random man go up to the 5th floor where we were staying. I went down to the reception to report an issue with the bedsheet, and my husband stayed in the room. Since I was only going down briefly, I didn’t fully close the door. When I came back, my husband was shaken because that same man tried to open our door. He seemed to think I was alone. When he saw my husband, he quickly said “excuse me, sorry” and left. I do not know if he was staying at the same floor with us. We suspect he may have been trying to steal something, assuming the room was empty. Thankfully, nothing happened, but it was a very creepy experience. I did not report it becausw I do not want to make it a big issue, but be sure to lock your door before going to sleep Because the hotel is quite old, the overall atmosphere felt a bit unsettling at times. I wouldn’t recommend staying here if you’re traveling alone. Also, some of the pillows and bedsheets provided by housekeeping had stains. On a positive note, we weren’t charged the 500 THB penalty, which was a relief. Overall, it was a decent stay, but the safety concerns made it less enjoyable.

This hostel is the cleanest I've ever stayed in. Each cubicle has a bunk bed for two people. The only downside is there's no sign at the entrance; you have to go through a dry cleaner (I'm not sure if there's another entrance). I kept going back and forth with the map, asking people nearby, but one pointed east and another west, making me seriously wonder if it was a scam!?! How much would it cost to put a lit-up sign on the utility pole outside?? There's no front desk; you have to scan a QR code to add a customer service contact or call for check-in/check-out.

We stayed at J Two S Pratunam as a couple and had a pleasant experience. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, offering good value for money. The location is very convenient—close to Pratunam Market, shopping areas, and public transport. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. A nice, affordable choice for couples looking for a comfortable stay in the heart of Bangkok.

Good value for the price. The room was simple but clean and everything worked as expected. WiFi was fast and reliable throughout the stay, which made a big difference. There’s a restaurant on the ground floor that’s convenient and serves decent food, especially after a long day out. Location near Khao San Road is great if you want to be close to everything. a solid option for the budget with no major issues.

Overall Experience: This hotel is a decent option, especially if you want to escape the city's hustle and bustle. The rooftop room I booked was incredibly spacious and cozy, perfect for a relaxing night even when it rained. The location is a bit tricky, with no parking and a narrow alleyway leading to the entrance, but it's worth it for the peace and quiet. The highlight was definitely the rooftop room. It felt so open and comfortable. However, the open-air bathroom might not be for everyone, especially if you're shy. For me, it was completely fine. Just be aware there’s no elevator, and if you’re on the 6th floor like I was, be ready for a bit of a climb! Bringing snacks and drinks up with you is a good idea to avoid going up and down too often. The view from the top floor room was absolutely amazing. It was a great reward after the climb. haha! P.s..I’d recommend this hotel to anyone who wants a unique and quiet experience and doesn't mind a bit of a workout to get to their room. The view and the rooftop room are fantastic. :)

I recently stayed at Ploy Hostel, and overall, it was a pleasant experience. The hostel is conveniently located in the city center, making it easy to access local attractions, restaurants, and public transportation. Upon arrival, I was greeted warmly by the staff, who were friendly, helpful, and attentive throughout my stay. The check-in process was smooth and efficient. The room I stayed in was clean, tidy, and comfortable. The bed was cozy with fresh linens, and the room had adequate storage for luggage. The hostel also provided air conditioning and Wi-Fi, both of which worked well. The bathrooms were shared but well-maintained, with hot water available at all times, which was very convenient. One of the highlights of Ploy Hostel is its communal areas. The lounge and kitchen spaces are spacious, allowing guests to relax, cook meals, and socialize. I met other travelers there, which made my stay more enjoyable. The overall atmosphere of the hostel is friendly and welcoming, perfect for solo travelers or small groups. While the hostel is budget-friendly, it doesn’t compromise on comfort or cleanliness. The only minor downside was occasional noise from neighboring rooms, but this is understandable in a hostel setting. In conclusion, I would highly recommend Ploy Hostel to anyone looking for affordable, clean, and centrally located accommodation. It offers a warm and social environment, making it ideal for travelers who want both convenience and a chance to meet new people. I would definitely stay here again on my next trip.
