The previous post of hotels around soi 16 to soi 20 should be on a self-screening probation for 3 months since those hotels/serviced apt. such as Citadines, Column and Park Plaza are not consistent yet. Alternate choices: Rembrant, Windsor Suites, Oakwood Trilliant, Asoke Suites, Ma Du Zi, Sheraton Grande, Westin, Grand Millenium, FX...etc. in that area.
After all, I may have spoken too much in favour for MO BKK, Aleenta, Phuket Pavillions...etc. I need to be more balanced to recommend other hotels and hostels. Chinese saying - when we can take it up, we should be able to take it down. So while we can stay in a five star hotel, we should also try some budget hostel. Be more flexible and receptive to broaden our mind.
The below hostel is pretty nice at a very budget rate from THB600 to 1,000. It's in a very good location on soi 25 (Asoke) within 5 minute walking distance to Asoke sky train and subway. Note that there is a real Italian restaurant (photo 2) run by Italians, as I had a chat with them. The breakfast set was just THB99 with a glass of fruit juice, ham/sausage/egg/toast and a cup of coffee/tea.
