Per-hotel detail, price comparison and FAQ
A social hostel on Decho Road, about a 10-minute walk from Chong Nonsi BTS, with both dorms and private rooms. There's a cafe, a bar, a small movie room and big common areas that make it easy to meet other travellers. Reviews single out the cleanliness and friendly staff. A solid pick for budget travellers who still want to be central in Silom. Dorm beds from around ฿820, privates around ฿1,500.
A small boutique hotel on the Silom side, a 10-plus-minute walk from Lumphini Park. Rooms come with a fridge, coffee machine and work desk, and breakfast is included. Good for couples or solo travellers who want a clean, quiet room without overspending. It isn't a big luxury tower, but it's good value for a central spot.
On Soi Pipat in the Silom–Bang Rak corner, about a 3-minute walk to Chong Nonsi BTS. Rooms are simple but clean, with breakfast and free Wi-Fi included. A practical choice for business travellers or short stays that want to be near the train. Some reviews knock the breakfast and note alley noise at night, but the location and cleanliness get consistent praise.
A 75-room, 4-star boutique hotel on Silom Road, about 200 metres from the Sri Maha Mariamman (Hindu) Temple and roughly a 10-minute walk to Chong Nonsi or Sala Daeng BTS. It has a pool and gym, and rooms feel larger than the price suggests. Reviews praise the rooms and staff, though some mention street noise from Silom Road. From around ฿2,400.
A 38-storey tower in the Silom–Surawong area, about a 5-minute walk to Chong Nonsi BTS. Rooms are modern with floor-to-ceiling windows over the city, and there's an outdoor pool and gym. Reviews like the service and location, though some say the hotel is starting to age and the pool is on the small side. A good fit if you want a high-floor 5-star room without hitting five figures.
A 5-star hotel on Surawong Road in the Bang Rak district, under a kilometre from Chong Nonsi BTS. The highlight is the rooftop infinity pool with clear nighttime city views, and it's close to the Patpong night market and plenty of restaurants. Reviews rate it highly for spacious rooms and the view, though some note that on-site food and drink prices run high.
A 61-storey tower on South Sathorn Road, about a 10-minute walk from Lumphini MRT. It's home to the well-known Vertigo and Moon Bar rooftop, famous for sunset views across the city, plus the Banyan Tree spa and high-floor rooms. A natural choice for a special occasion or anyone who wants a genuinely upscale stay. Rates from around ฿6,500 and up depending on season.
