I have to go to UK Embassy next week and will spend a couple of nights in Bangkok. Please can you personally reccommend a good hotel close by in the 1000 to 2000 Baht per night range. I like a good breakfast included if possible.

Many thanks in advance.

I normally stay at Citrus if I ever have to go to the Trendy building: https://www.citrus13bangkok.com/en/ 

 

I have always paid about 1,300 baht per night. About a 5 min walk to Trendy

The Grand Swiss is at Suk and Soi 11.

Modern with decent breakfast.

You must mean the  VFS passport renewal service in the Trendy building, which is a private company that handles UK passport renewals?

 

The actual UK Embassy is now in Sathorn, nowhere near the Trendy building.

Yes, I am renewing my passport.

Try the Eastin Grand Sathorn hotel, on the south side of Sathorn (same side as the UK Embassy and a few minutes walk away from the Embassy). The hotel connects directly into Surasak Skytrain station, which makes it very convenient. Have stayed there a number of times. You may under current conditions be able to get a rate close to what you indicate. It's a modern hotel  and I've always found it very efficient and pleasant with good breakfast.

I am trying to think of the place I stayed at, it is in the next Soi, 10 minute walk to Trendy, it's an Irish type pub with very nice accommodation above, lift to upper floors...Will try and find out...

Stable Lodge is a nice hotel in Soi 8 which is opposite Soi 11. Walking distance from the hotel to Trendy probably less than 10 minutes.

It's obviously not a big 5star hotel but a small nice hotel with breakfast at the pool. I like it.

 

I'm staying at the Sofitel, around the corner.  Booked on Agoda for 2650/night.

 

 

View from the room

 

 

Bring your own whisky

 

 

They have a rooftop bar on the 32nd floor, great views of the city

 

 

I ordered the cheapest thing on the menu, a glass of Spanish red

 

 

Breakfast is included, and ala carte, but you can order as much as you want.  Besides this, I had smoked salmon Eggs Benedict.

 

 

I'll check out the pool this afternoon.

 

If you're ok with something less luxury than the other recommendations, then the Miami Hotel is literally right next door (to the right if facing Trendy). I checked it out once when a friend was visiting me. About 850thb/night, cutely retro designed, with pool and perfectly comfortable. You can pay extra to include breakfast and anyway there are quite a few restaurant options within one block.  https://www.thaimiami.com/en/home

This thread is really out of date now; I visited Trendy already at the end of December; I doubt I will need another stay.

Thanks.

That is nowhere near where he has to go to renew his UK passport (Sukhumvit 13), it's the opposite side of town.

"in the next Soi, 10 minute walk to Trendy, it's an Irish type pub with very nice accommodation above, lift to upper floors." - the next soi is Soi 15 where there's an Irish pub on the ground floor of the Four Points hotel (which is within a 10 min walk to Trendy).

That's what I said in my edit, but it's an old thread and irrelevant to the OP nw!
