Budget Hotels in Bangkok

Low-cost accommodation for budget travelers


Low-cost or good-value hotels in Bangkok have traditionally been located in the Khao San Road area, but they’re now found all over the city. Your best-value options are those of the three stars category, but for even lower rates consider staying at a hostel.
Most of the low-budget hotels still treat their guests to free wifi and breakfast, but expect basic facilities. And although they may not always be architecturally exciting, they’re usually clean and staff is professional and friendly. Many have also invested in more attractive, contemporary interiors. These are the ten best budget hotels in Bangkok:

    Siamotif Boutique Hotel, Bangkok

  • 1. Siamotif Boutique Hotel
  • One of the best values in the city, this 3-star canalside hotel has uniquely-designed rooms filled with color and traditional Thai furnishings. It places guests among local communities for an authentic Bangkok experience, but the city’s major tourist attractions are never too far away.
