I am looking recommendations from more experienced travelers for hotels near Suvarnabhumi Airport for transit layover prior to taking a domestic flight. I would like for the hotel room price to include provide roundtrip airport transport, high speed data available in the rooms, breakfast, a shower that has an enclosed area preventing the shower getting every thing else in the bathroom wet and finally, a reasonably low price less than $50 US. Suggestions and descriptions appreciated.

i don't use transit hotels very much at all . . . but i stayed at this place one time a couple of years back. It fulfils all your criteria, and is 5 mins from Swampy. I booked it through agoda. All good.

This is their own website - Convenient Resort

Thanks for your suggestion Goshawk. Checking the web sit. it indicates that internet is available in the lobby. I am looking for a hotel that makes it available in the rooms.

they have fast wifi george . . no good to you?

Not good if I have to go to the lobby to use it.

george . . . wifi = wireless network. It's available throughout the building (in every room)

While the home pages says "The resort also offers internet access in the lobby..." which does not necessarily imply they have it in the rooms, the tab/page with the room details (http://www.convenientresort.com/room.html) does say "Wireless Internet access in Room."

Thanks Goshawk and Wpcoe for clarifying that the HS WiFi is available in the rooms. That may make this hotel a good choice for my next visit. Thanks for the recommendation.

Does anyone have other Suvarnabhumi hotel recommendations? It would be nice to compare some other hotels that meet my criteria.

The hotel I've used many (a dozen?) times is Silver Gold Garden, and I book online with sawadee.com. Current rate for a room without breakfast, but including round-trip van transfers to/from aiport, is THB700. Hotel is clean, staff is friendly, and there is a Lotus Express on the road in front of the hotel, and a 7-11 a few steps away.

I didn't recommend it to the OP because it has a "Thai style" shower where the whole bathroom gets wet and no internet in the rooms, which didn't meet two of his requirements.

There was another booking service where you could book "day rooms" (I think it was for up to eight hours during the daytime) for about THB500, but I can't recall which site that was, and it has been a while since I saw it, so not sure it it's still an option.

Thanks wpcoe for your comment about the Gold and Silver. I've stayed at Gold and Silver. It is a good vale for the price, but I would a western style bath and internet access. The Convenient Resort recommended by Goshawk seems, according to reviews, not have elevators for upper floors. Unfortunately, hotel websites do not often show photos of the bathrooms, I have not been able to locate a rating service that definitively indicates yes or no, the presence the amenities desired i.e. dry bathrooms, elevators, internet in rooms (included or not), airport transfers (included or not), restaurant (breakfast included or not). So, I am hoping that more experienced travelers on the forum would be able to help me with some recommending places that would meet my expectations.

I have stayed at BS Hotel twice in the past 12 months free shuttle and has everything that you are looking for about 10 minutes from swamppy, it will also you BS Apartments they are side by side.

All the best

Thank you for your reply Macca46. Were you at BS Premiere or BS Residence? Can you describe the comparitive aspects of each?

I have stayed a few times at the Queen's Garden Resort, although not recently: http://queensgardenresort.net/

Single rooms are decent (clean but not large: double and triple rooms are of course better), with a separate (but tiny) bathroom and the rate advertised on their website for this category of accommodation is 750 baht (but you can get even better deals using their booking interface, depending on the period of your stay), including one-way transfer and free wi-fi access if you book via their website: http://queensgardenresort.net/accomodation.html

If you don't want to pre-pay, it's a little bit more expensive, but not too much. You can easily (even late at night or early in the morning) get a taxi from and to the airport too and it's a less than 10 mn / under 100 baht fare.

The breakfast is not very copious and this hotel is a bit noisy up to about the midnight hour, nothing fancy, but it was decent and convenient enough (mainly because of its location) for me on those occasions.

GuyL, Thanks for your comments about Queens Garden.
