Recommendations please for a good alternative to Amari Don Muang Hotel

- within 1-2km

- decent price (i.e. 1000-2500 per night)

- good breakfast

- real coffee

 

We checked out the new SleepBox but it seems to be a short stay room as opposed to a real hotel.

I don't have any particular recommendations, but this will give you some suggestions and they have reviews.

I don't know  what the issue is with the Amari, but I use it  about 2X a year when I have an early morning flight and it's worth it. The rooms are dirt cheap,and  are available from 1700-2000 baht depending on when booked. If one wants cheaper then one will have to accept  a low quality facility that requires a taxi fare and commuting time and the risk of bedbugs, and crime. etc.  The value proposition to save 500 baht isn't there.

 

I usually pay 4500-6500 to stay at the  BKK Novotel and I would prefer to stay at the Amari as the quality is similar.

 

I have to agree with the geriatric kid. For the convience it is hard to beat the Amari. It was clean, quiet and right there at the end of a covered walkway over the road. 

There are a couple of hotels down Song prapha rd (just north of Amari) for 1000 or less, just google or use the above agoda.

try this

phurahong-homestay   difficult to find but only 15 minuts far (with a good taxi driver)

Rama Gardens was ok and not to far but a bit older but it worked for me.

Google  "Don Muang Boutique House "

Gets good reviews and about ten minutes from the airport.  About 400Bht upwards.  They do a good breakfast.  You will need the address in Thai - or get their phone number and have the taxi driver speak with staff.  They are on the East side of the airport.  I know someone who uses this place regularly and has recommended it to me.  Not perfect but even with the taxi fare it is great value.
