Twin Towers Hotel
8.5 (5,105 reviews)

Twin Towers Hotel ★★★★★

📍 88 Rama VI Rd, Khwaeng Rong Muang, Khet, Pathum Wan, Bangkok

"The room is so old. In my room, there is no electrical outlet beside my bed. And the bathroom is so old that I feel not clean even after I took a bath. The lobby seems so luxurious but the rooms are so old and nothing like the lobby. The buffet is so boring and just a normal. The service people are really kind and nice but the upper management should invest more to the amenities and room development."

LEE Hotel Lat Phrao
8.2 (516 reviews)

LEE Hotel Lat Phrao ★★★★

📍 2539 Lat Phrao Rd, Khlong Chaokhun Sing, Wang Thonglang, Bangkok

"This was my first time in Bangkok, and I was worried about the language barrier. To my pleasant surprise, the staff here could communicate in basic Chinese, which saved me a lot of trouble. The soundproofing in the room was excellent, so it wasn't noisy at night. Housekeeping was prompt, and all the basic amenities were well-stocked. It's a short walk to the metro, making travel inexpensive. Plus, there are plenty of convenience stores and food stalls nearby, so dining and getting around are completely hassle-free."

📍 26 Soi Ramkhamhaeng 50, Hua Mak, Bang Kapi, Bangkok

"If you get into Bangkok but your check in is not till 2pm do not worry, there is a safe place where you can leave your things under watch in a closed room not like at other places where you just leave your things next to reception where anyone can steal them. The stay was nice and I love the local st that’s it located on"

GLINT Siam Bangkok Hotel
8.6 (635 reviews)

GLINT Siam Bangkok Hotel ★★★★

📍 494 Soi Phetchaburi 18, Thanon Phetchaburi Subdistrict, Ratchathewi, Bangkok

"For those looking to book, check out my review: First off, the hotel is pretty new overall, with a pool on the top floor and free tea and coffee (self-service). Breakfast is a simple sandwich meal. The prices aren't high, and I really appreciated the 24-hour front desk, which makes checking out easy, especially if you have a red-eye flight. Before checking in, they'll ask you about disposable amenities and your preferred cleaning time. There's a Chinese instruction sheet, so you just point to what you need. I chose 12 PM for cleaning, and my room was always tidied up when I got back in the afternoon. The room itself isn't big, quite small actually, but you can still move around normally with luggage opened. The bathroom has no strange smells (shower gel and shampoo are provided). I'm not sure if it's because there were no neighbors, but I didn't hear any noise, so you'll have to judge the soundproofing for yourselves. For around 200 a night, I think it's quite a good deal. The bed was super soft, which I'm not used to. It's about a 10-minute walk to nearby malls and also 10 minutes to the popular skybridge for photos. Taking a motorbike taxi to Chulalongkorn University Night Market is very convenient from there. To get into the hotel, you need to go through an alley, about 600-700 meters. The area around is residential, with a square-like space where people sell late-night snacks (local delicacies) even at 10 PM. There's also a massage parlor nearby, with similar prices to others (probably needs reservations, so I didn't go). If you take a taxi, the driver will drive into the alley and drop you off right at the hotel, so you don't need to walk from the alley entrance or worry too much. When calling a taxi, the driver will also come to the hotel entrance, so I recommend going downstairs when the car is almost there. The lobby had a sewer smell though. Traffic in Bangkok is super congested, so be prepared. If you have a flight the next day, definitely allow an extra half hour! I booked a taxi to the airport a day in advance, and the driver was 45 minutes late, possibly due to morning rush hour, but it's generally always congested. (The above is my experience for your reference.) Hope you all have a fun time in Bangkok! P1: You can easily spot the skybridge for photos when walking there, no need to specifically look for it. P3: Just buy one hotel sandwich, it's enough for two people if you split it (the nearby 7-Eleven felt a bit far to me). P4: Durian bought from under a residential building, 20 RMB. P5: If you want to experience Thai massage and don't want to search, check out the one near the hotel. It seemed more affordable compared to where I went. Anyone who's tried it, feel free to share your thoughts."

"The stay was great overall — the room was comfortable, clean, and the atmosphere was really pleasant. However, our experience was affected when we saw a cockroach right outside our room, which was quite off-putting."

Millennium Hilton Bangkok Hotels in Bangkok

Millennium Hilton Bangkok

"This was my second stay, and the breakfast was absolutely fantastic – a really rich spread, not just local fare. I'm a bit sad I didn't get to try the dinner buffet at Welcome this time, but that just gives me an excuse to come back again. Can't stop thinking about it, already planning my next trip!"

The Okura Prestige Bangkok Hotels in Bangkok

The Okura Prestige Bangkok

"The transportation is quite convenient. The room space is adequate. The soda and beer in the mini-bar are complimentary, but snacks and whisky are not. The food they offer is really mediocre; the Japanese breakfast is acceptable, but the food in the lounge is generally sub-par."

Carlton Hotel Bangkok Sukhumvit Hotels in Bangkok

Carlton Hotel Bangkok Sukhumvit

"The location is convenient, with a 7-Eleven just a two or three-minute walk away. Turn left for three large shopping malls, or turn right for Terminal 21. Honestly, this area is more suitable for young people. For families with elderly members and young children, walking to the MRT station or the malls can feel quite far. The hotel has a five-star, classic luxury hotel decor, so be prepared to see many foreign tourists and also encounter Thai weddings being held there. The breakfast was pretty good, and the restaurant staff provided excellent service. Also, the hotel is willing to accommodate late check-out requests, which is a great service. However, it was a bit awkward when my room card stopped working the night before check-out."

"The hotel is infested with roaches, we found them in the first room, request room change then the new room also had roaches so we gave up. Aircon also leaking water into the room. Good thing is that there are numerous transport options, Airport Rail Link, commuter train and even boat pier next to the hotel."

Ibis Styles Bangkok Sukhumvit Phra Khanong ★★★★
"No good. My first time staying at this hotel. 1. It's a six-minute walk to Phra Khanong BTS station. There's no large supermarket nearby, only one 7-Eleven, which is very inconvenient. The closest large Lotus supermarket is a 20-minute walk away, near On Nut station. 2. I stayed in room 1008. It was unbelievably cold. Even when I set the AC to 30 degrees, it was still terrifyingly cold, like a morgue. I stayed for four days and almost froze to death. 3. Basic amenities like toothpaste, toothbrushes, slippers, and paper and pens are not provided in the room. You have to go down to the front desk and ask for them yourself. 4. The small bar on the seventh floor is right next to a small pool. Smoking is not allowed in the bar, and it's a non-smoking building overall. 5. For a hotel in Thailand, this room is extremely small."

I arrived at 8 AM and paid 600 baht for an early check-in. Plus, there's a rooftop pool, which was an unexpected bonus and great for photos!"

Must-Know Tips For Your First Time in Bangkok

Bangkok always gives an impression of towering skyscrapers, traffic jams and sweltering heat. But that's just one side of the story. The city offers so much more, from grand palaces and serene canals to lively night markets. It's a city that never stops surprising you.

The moment you touch the land, the energy, the smells, and the scale of it will all captivate you. Need some help navigating this megacity? Don’t worry—here follows a detailed guide on getting to and around Bangkok.

Getting to Bangkok

Bangkok is served by two major airports: Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) and Don Mueang Airport (DMK).

Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) is the main one, located about 30 kilometers (19 miles) southeast of the city center. It’s where most international flights land. It’s shiny, modern, and well-organized, with loads of shops, cafes, and lounges. If you’re flying in from Europe, North America, or anywhere long-haul, this is probably where you’ll arrive.

Don Mueang Airport (DMK) is about 20 kilometers (12 miles) north of downtown Bangkok and handles mostly budget airlines like AirAsia and Nok Air. It’s an older airport and it’s great if you’re coming from nearby countries or taking domestic flights.

If you’re catching a red-eye flight, I suggest staying near Suvarnabhumi Airport for convenience. These hotels offer free shuttle services to and from the airport, making those early mornings or late arrivals much easier:

MRT (Subway): Ticket Price: $0.50–$1.25 per trip (฿16-฿42). While the MRT doesn’t cover as many attractions as the BTS, it’s still a convenient way to get around certain areas of Bangkok, like Jodd Fairs, Chatuchak Weekend Market, The One Ratchada, etc.

Taxis & Ride-Hailing Apps: Taxis are always negotiate the fare upfront or ensure the driver uses the meter to avoid being overcharged. Since Uber isn’t available in Bangkok, locals and tourists use Grab or Bolt. Grab is known for its reliable drivers and fair prices, while Bolt is a cheaper alternative. Download both apps to compare fares.

Boats: The Chao Phraya River winds through Bangkok, offering scenic views and an alternative way to get around. Regular Boats is $0.50 per ride. The orange line is best for tourists, stopping at popular attractions. Sightseeing Boats is $0.90 per ride. These are slightly pricier but include guided commentary for a more immersive experience.

Best Areas to Stay in Bangkok

Sukhumvit is popular area for nightlife. If you love shopping luxury brands and enjoy nightlife, stay here with glittering rooftop bars and global eats along the BTS line.

If you are looking for a great area for families, Riverside is a great option. Since there are many upscale 5-star hotels with best river views, steps from Wat Arun and sunset cruises.
