3-Star Hotels in Bangkok

I stayed at this hostel more than decades. Location is perfect, near MRT Lots of good restaurants nearby, also 7-11 amd more Staffs are super nice 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 They remembered me I always lost many things over there...the staffs keep it when I return. Free ABF, Nice Environment... very green and clean...well maintenance Some day had cooking class One evening a BBQ Very dynamic Hostel and reliable.

Booked this hotel last minute, and it was a great find! The environment is lovely, and the location couldn't be better. The front desk staff were very friendly and helpful. It's super close to Chinatown, just a short walk away. Plus, I got a 10% off massage coupon at check-in, and the massage place was really clean.

Arawana Express Chinatown is really a smart choice for value-conscious travelers. Its rooms are typically far more spacious than those in similarly priced budget chains, which makes a real difference if you’re traveling with large luggage or staying for an extended period. That extra sense of space helps ease the fatigue of being on the road. Pricing here is refreshingly restrained. If you redirect the money you save on accommodation toward enjoying bird’s nest delicacies or a seafood feast in Chinatown, you’ll quickly realize how wise this trade-off can be. The hotel sits on the edge of Chinatown, tucked into quieter side streets. Within a two-minute walk, you can be in the heart of the bustling food district or at MRT Wat Mangkon. While the main roads in Chinatown are lively around the clock, Arawana is cleverly positioned away from the noise. For travelers who value a good night’s sleep but still want to stay in the old quarter, this balance of tranquility and convenience is a definite plus. The decor may feel a bit dated, and you might notice some wear in the elevator, air conditioning noise, or bathroom fixtures. It’s best not to judge it by the standards of a modern star-rated hotel. Instead, think of it as a generously sized private space with an en-suite bathroom—comfortable, practical, and excellent value for its location.

We stayed at this hotel for two nights. Cons The rooms are very outdated. Furniture, walls, corners, and the bathroom show visible wear and damage. The rooms clearly need renovation. The photos on the listing do not reflect the current condition of the rooms. They look much newer than they actually are. A stove was listed as an amenity, but in reality it was not usable — it was covered with a fixed wooden panel and could not be opened. There is no tea or coffee in the room, despite a coffee machine being shown in the photos. Tea is available at the reception during daytime only. The air conditioner is very noisy. It is controlled via a wall panel (no remote control) with limited settings, and even on the lowest mode the noise is noticeable. There is no ventilation fan in the bathroom, so steam stays in the room after showering unless the door is opened. The TV offers only Thai channels. There is no Smart TV and no option to connect a phone. The kitchen area has a sink, cabinets, and basic dishes, but it is not functional due to the lack of a stove. Despite cleaning, the room looks visually worn because of the overall condition of the walls and ceiling. Pros The bed is comfortable, with two pillows per person. Clean bed linen. The bathroom was clean, with good water pressure. The room includes a new hairdryer, a refrigerator, dishes, and cutlery. There is a balcony facing the courtyard, where smoking is allowed. The staff were polite and helpful. The receptionist spoke good English and explained everything clearly, and the housekeeping staff were also very friendly. The hotel provides a golf cart shuttle to nearby shopping malls. The location is convenient, close to M-Sphere, Emporium, and the M District, which was the main reason we chose this hotel. Overall Suitable for a short stay of one night. The main drawback is the outdated rooms and mismatch with the photos. The location and staff are the hotel’s strongest points. ——— Останавливались в этом отеле на две ночи. Минусы Номера сильно устаревшие. Мебель, стены, углы и ванная с потёртостями и сколами, требуется обновление и ремонт. Фотографии на сайте не соответствуют текущему состоянию номеров: выглядят новыми, тогда как по факту номера давно не обновлялись. В номере была заявлена плита, но фактически она отсутствовала — была закрыта и зафиксирована деревянной панелью, воспользоваться ею невозможно. В номере нет чая и кофе, несмотря на то, что на фотографиях присутствует кофемашина. Чай можно взять на ресепшене в дневное время. Кондиционер шумный, работает без переносного пульта, управление осуществляется с настенного блока с ограниченным количеством режимов. Даже на минимальном режиме шум заметный. В туалете нет вытяжки, после душа пар остаётся в комнате, уходит только при открытой двери. Телевизор показывает только тайские каналы, Smart TV отсутствует, подключение телефона невозможно. Кухонная зона оборудована раковиной, шкафчиками и посудой, но нефункциональна из-за отсутствия плиты. Из-за общего износа поверхностей номер визуально выглядит неаккуратно, несмотря на уборку. Плюсы Удобная кровать, по две подушки на человека. Чистое постельное бельё. Ванная комната была чистой, хороший напор воды. В номере есть новый фен, холодильник, посуда и столовые приборы. Есть балкон, выходящий во двор, на котором можно курить. Вежливый и отзывчивый персонал: девушка на ресепшене хорошо говорит по-английски и подробно всё объясняет, горничные также оставили приятное впечатление. Предоставляется гольф-кар трансфер до ближайших торговых центров. Удобное расположение рядом с M-Sphere, Emporium и M-кварталом, что было основной причиной выбора отеля. Итог Подходит для краткой остановки на одну ночь. Основной минус — сильно устаревшие номера и несоответствие фотографиям. Расположение и персонал — сильные стороны отеля.

🏨 For this hotel, be sure to take Exit 2 from Phaya Thai Station. Once you come down from Exit 2, you'll see a sign that says 'room'. Follow the small path next to this sign all the way to the end. You'll see an iron gate, turn left there, and the hotel will be on your right. The road leading to it is indeed a bit rough, but the hotel's overall environment is good, and the service is excellent. There's also a large 7-Eleven nearby, and they offer luggage storage. P.S. The showerhead 🚿 is a bit loose; I suggest reinforcing it. This is the only thing I was slightly unhappy with.

I had a wonderful experience here. The place was very clean, well maintained, and had a peaceful, quiet atmosphere that made me feel comfortable from the moment I arrived. The staff were warm, friendly, and welcoming, providing excellent service throughout my visit. Everything was organized and spotless, which really showed their attention to detail. I truly appreciated the relaxing environment and would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a clean, quiet, and enjoyable experience. I look forward to coming back again.

The location is decent and the rooftop pool is pleasant, as is the room service, which isn't bad. However, there are many downsides: poor cleanliness, a tiny gym, and the hotel stairwells are literally used as storage. Furthermore, there's a significant language barrier with the staff (some only speak Thai, some only English, and they struggle to understand each other). They could do much better.

The accommodation is a short distance from the BTS. It has a common area for relaxing and offers luggage storage.

Nearby Pratunam markets, walk distance to Big C.. etc Alot of restaurants and halal foods. The room and toilet are clean but small. Especially the toilet, too small.. And it is pricey. No iron. Other than that.. all is good. The airport transfer is cheap. 500 bahts, for 2 ppl.

With all the discounts you can get from Trip, the cheap price for booking a room in this hotel is really expected; you are staying in what you paid for. The rooms are satisfactory. If you spend most of the time out the entire day, it already genuinely fulfils your needs for sleeping and showering. Let's go through negatives first. While they clean rooms everyday, there are still cobwebs in the corners of the room and permanent stains on some walls and tiles. The worst experience was when we decided to use the electric kettle to boil water in but there was some stains inside that had already crusted since who knows when. When we wanted to use the microwave as an alternative, there was mold all over the inside. We wouldn't have known of this if ever we didn't opt using either one. It is also pretty shabby and old, and not that well-maintained. We stayed in four room types total and three beds were creaking at each slight movement, as if it were one movement away from breaking. True enough, one of the beds broke when one of us sat down. Also, in one room, there was some sort of leak seeping from the tiles and we don't know where it's coming from. For those who have sensitive skin like me, their beds kinda made me itchy but tolerable. However, those with dust allergies or rhinitis like me, be warned because some of the rooms got my nose to get stuffy. Also, the ground hall wherein the elevator is located smelled like **** so it was difficult for us who didn't smoke or like the smell of it to tolerate each time we entered the ground hall. Despite all these issues, they really make it a point to clean bare minimum so I'll give them points for that. I think this hotel is a better option for solo or pair travelers. For the good points, let's start with it being in an AMAZING location! Just 10-15 mins walk away from Silom MRT and 5 mins walk away from Chong Nonsi BTS, making it very accessible. Many places to buy food and drinks from around the area, too. And the most important thing to point out is the kindness of their staff. Honestly, there was a glitch in their system wherein I was booked the wrong room type. I was worried about the language barrier with this issue, but with a little negotiation and patience, the caretaker and I were able to settle on an alternative. Luckily, they still had rooms available, so I was able to get three different rooms before moving into the 3BR suite two days later. The staff owned up to the mistake and were thankful that we were able to settle on something. The entire time, they were so accommodating, and because of the mishap of our booking, they were extra friendly with us. I think the entire first three days (until we moved to the new room), the caretaker kept apologizing for the mishap. The staff were really great. They always greeted and engaged in a friendly conversation whenever possible. Remember the broken bed? They fixed it immediately! So I truly appreciated it. Also after check out, they allowed us to use our room for some more minutes past check-out time to use the bathroom when one of my company needed to use it again before leaving. Overall, the stay was satisfactory. Really, if you just needed a place to sleep and shower, this is good enough. Location is really the best feature of this place. Go for it for easy access to MRT, BTS, Convent Rd, and Silom. Would really recommend if you're not too picky with interior or amenities. My recommendation to the hotel, though, is making sure all the equipments in the rooms are clean like the microwave, cabinets, or even the shower drain. Also please check and maintain all the furnishing so that bandaid solutions won't be done too often. Thank you so much for the stay and I really appreciate your service during my entire stay! 🙏🏻
