stylish and convenient pad ...
by Tusitala about SilQ Bangkok
Silq's got many advantages. First is location: Sukhunmvit Soi 19 is a few stops away from all the business, shopping and entertainment options you could possibly want, and just 150 stroll to Asok BTS station.
The second is it's set back from the main road so it's nice and quiet, offering a tranquil base aid the hubbub of crazy Bangkok. A small building, there are only 8 rooms per floor, so it's quiet and discreet. A smart address for business travellers, a cozy love nest for couples.
Rooms? Nicely designed in modern minimalist style, quite funky, but perhaps a little smaller than they look in the website photos. Airconditioners nice and strong and quiet. Strong shower with massage-jet option.
Very prompt and attentive service from the bell-boy to receptionists, to room service. Adds to the feel good factor. Have their own stylish in-house bar and lounge area to meet guests and chill. Breakfast buffet is included, with adequate selection for those wanting farang style western breakfast (can order omelettes on top of the usual cereals, toast, etc) or Thai style.
Free internet available at reception, and not just wi-fi, but you can use their computer free of charge.

Hotel centurally located
by kayjb
Hi,
We are from Melbourne, Australia and are commencing our trip to Thailand, Myanmar,Cambodia and Loas in December. We would appreciate it if could please recommend, from your personal experience, a good, clean and mid range priced hotel, centurally located hotel between the Grand Palace and Bangkok CBD.
We look forward to hearing from you.

Have a look at SilQ Bangkok. It's a nice boutique hotel close to both the skytrain and MRT. Personally, I like to stay on Sukhumvit Road as it's very easy to get around with the skytrain.

If you are within a few blocks of the skytrain, the location of the hotel does not matter too much. Like many, I prefer the Sukhumvit road area. It has a hotel for every taste, plenty of restaurants, tourist oriented menus, and a Blade Runner experience in the street night market and clubs.
My prefered hotel is the Dynasty Inn Grande on soi 6 (Sukhumvit soi = side street on Sukhumvit). They ave big comfortable rooms for a September internet special price of 1850 bt, about 56 US dollars.
