View Place Hotel & Residence Lat Phrao 130

★★★
Long stays on a budget · walk to The Mall

A serviced apartment on Soi Lat Phrao 130 in Khlong Chan, within walking distance of the MRT Lat Phrao 101 station and The Mall Bangkapi. There's parking, an EV charger, restaurants, and a 7-Eleven close by. It's very cheap and built for multi-night stays. Reviews praise the clean rooms, fresh linens, and kind staff, though to be straight the beds are firm, some rooms charge extra for a softer one, and the Wi-Fi is fairly limited.

imm hotel Ladprao Bangkapi Bangkok

★★★
By the MRT Yellow Line · near the market and Lotus's

A 212-room hotel on Soi Lat Phrao 127 in Khlong Chan, right by the MRT Yellow Line and a few minutes' walk to Lotus's and The Mall Bangkapi. Rooms have air-con and a flat-screen TV at a low price. Reviews praise the helpful staff, spacious rooms, fast Wi-Fi, and cheap food nearby. Worth knowing: the building and rooms are showing their age, the air-con sits oddly in some rooms, and it faces a wet market, so there's an occasional smell.

We Hotel

★★★
Newer modern rooms · quiet

A small, newer hotel on Soi Lat Phrao 140 in Khlong Chan, about a 5-minute drive to The Mall Lifestore Bangkapi. Rooms are done in calm, modern tones with a smart TV, free Wi-Fi, and free parking. It scores around 8.6 in reviews for cleanliness, quiet and private rooms, and soft beds, making it a good pick for a newer, clean room on a budget. Worth knowing: it has few rooms, so book ahead, and the front desk isn't open 24 hours.

Mall Suites Hotel

★★★
Closest to The Mall · rooms with a pantry

A hotel on Soi Lat Phrao 144, right next to The Mall Lifestore Bangkapi — almost a walk across. The draw is spacious rooms with a pantry corner, suiting families or longer stays, plus free Wi-Fi and free parking. Reviews like the location for walking to the mall and finding food easily, the clean rooms, and the value. Worth knowing: it has been renovating in parts, so check the room condition before booking, and there's nearby construction that can bring some noise.

130 Hotel & Residence Bangkok

★★★
By MRT Lat Phrao 101 · comfy beds

A hotel-and-residence on Soi Lat Phrao 130 in Khlong Chan, next to a 7-Eleven and the MRT Yellow Line's Lat Phrao 101 station, within walking distance of The Mall Bangkapi. There's a restaurant, a gym, free Wi-Fi, and free parking. It scores in the low 8s, with guests singling out the comfy beds and the value, and plenty of restaurants around. Some reviews note the soi entrance looks quiet but feels safe, and breakfast is basic.

The Bedroom Ladprao 101

★★★★
Newer, clean hotel · quiet and comfortable

A newer, cleaner hotel than most options in the area, on the Lat Phrao 101 side of Bangkapi. Rooms have a flat-screen TV and a separate walk-in shower, and there's a gym, a restaurant, and free Wi-Fi and parking. It scores around 7.9, with reviews praising very clean rooms, good linens, and how new the place feels — a fit if you want a step up in this district. The honest trade-off is the distance from the centre; some guests say hailing a taxi and walking to the metro aren't that easy.
