Hotel with balcony

Would anyone know of a good hotel around the $100-$150AUD in the Sukhumvit area. It must have a pool, air conditioning and a balcony. Balcony is important as my husband is a smoker and I am not.

Sandy,

Check out the condos at www.bangkokblast.com. We recently stayed there and it worked out really well for us (family of 4, with our 2 kids staying on the sofa). The property is located on Sukhumvit Soi 21 (Asoke) and is about a 10 minute walk to Sukhumvit and BTS. All the amenities you are looking for are there plus a kitchen (great to have bowls and utensils so you can just go down on the street and buy fabulous fresh fruit every morning) and a washing machine. Convenience store downstairs. Foot massage in the basement next door.

We paid 1750B per night when we stayed for 4 nights (I think it%26#39;s 2200B for 3 nights or less). The owner, Neil, is great too.

BTW, the balcony is quite small, but probably large enough to move one of the kitchen chairs out there. Nice view overlooking a school with a big grassy area -- greenery in Bangkok, who knew?

If you stay there, be sure to eat lunch at the food court in the building next door (actually attached to the same building). Great food for 30B per plate (what we call ';point and eat'; since many of the workers don%26#39;t speak english and we don%26#39;t speak much Thai). Get there around 11:30 before it gets overrun by all the office workers. YUM!

Thank you for this information. I have checked it out and it looks great. Are these appartments serviced and do they supply towels?

The apartments look good, but what an irritating website!

If, by ';serviced'; you mean does someone come in and make up your bed or clean -- the answer is no. They have everything you need in the units, including towels. We stayed there for 4 days at the beginning of Feb and another 2 days at the end. We had everything we needed and would definitely stay there again.

Yes that is what I meant thank you for your reply. It doesn%26#39;t bother me if they aren%26#39;t serviced I just like to know what to expect.

Yes tpandav the website is extremely irritating. I actually printed the information for my husband so I wouldn%26#39;t have to go through the website again.

For a balcony, you%26#39;ll have to get an older hotel or a serviced apartment. Thai zoning laws no longer allow hotels to have open balconies for safety reasons.

Having said that, do you know where in the city you would like to stay or what you want to do? That would give me a better idea of neighborhoods.

I am not that fussy where in the city exactly. I stayed in Silom last year and that was great so would probably prefer to see other areas. I stayed in the Sukhumvit area on my first trip but it was only for 2 nights so didn%26#39;t see much. I would like a little nightlife good resturants and maybe some shopping, nothing to quiet just with a bit of atmosphere.

Have a look at the various Centrepoint properties. We%26#39;ve stayed at Silom and at Wireless Road, and in both properties all apartments and studios have balconies. Their website give floor plans of every unit. They are a well run operation with mostly excellent locations and good rates. A huge 1 br apartment at C. Silom cost us US$140, and a studio in C. Wireless Rd US$108, both through hoteltravel.com, which seems to have very good prices for Bangkok accommodation.

Thank you everyone for your replies. I have checked out the apartments and think that that is the way to go.

For Centrepoint handy to Sukhumvit - take the Centrepoint Sukhumvit Soi 10. Very nice property and tuk tuk shuttle to main road running all the time.
