Holiday Inn Express Bangkok Sukhumvit 11
Beware, this hotel is so-called 'the smart hotel' serves you same boring cold breakfast on a daily basis with INSECT on your TARTS and they too enjoy breakfast with you...unhygienic environment and unapologetic and remorseless staff.
This Hotel is absolutely not meant for a decent business person or a family to come and stay the SOI 11 is pathetic, post 6 pm onwards the entire SOI 11 stretch becomes 'A RED LIGHT AREA' the street is full of male and female prostitutes, they enter the hotel on a pretext of using the restroom and they are happily welcomed by the hotel staff, the prostitutes later pick-up customers from the hotel lobby area freely.
The Hotel Room has a large window which faces the hotel facade walls, therefore, there is no view from most of the rooms and without sunlight, the room is pitch dark.
At SOI 11 the traffic is non-stop and maddening, the noise coming from the street can be literary deafening...
Last but not the least hotel has charged me on my CREDIT CARD for the room in spite of giving them the prepaid hotel voucher.
Room Tip: Avoid the hotel

This particular HIX is dirt cheap for a reason, and you mentioned them all: neighborhood "entertainment," views, noise, room size, etc. You know you can say "no" to the working girls who enter the lobby. They work all the hotels, even the 5*. Never been to BKK before? Not my favorite hotel, but good for a cheap stay.
By the way, welcome to FT.

My experience is that if you have any issue, you just raised them with the front desk staffs and they will try to resolve the problem for you ASAP. So service wise, it's OK.
The breakfast is free for all guests and it's pretty simple with several dishes. So don't expect the breakfast to be like Intercontinental hotel with a full range breakfast.
The restaurant is just a small section on the ground floor (next to check in / front desk / main lobby) so the insect could have just flown in from the street outside since the main lobby door to the road is just around 3 to 5 metres away (separated by the pavement). This insect thingy is just a small issue and I seriously don't think that the restaurant can prevent the insect from flying in totally.
Maybe the OP is new to BKK and not familiar with this area. If you are staying in Sukhumvit Soi 11, then how can you expect it to be quiet? You are right in the middle of Nana and Cowboy Agogo areas.
From the start of the street from Sukhumvit, you have restaurants with Live Band like Zanzibar to Rosabieng and then to clubs like Sugar, Levels and Insanity, plus tons of small pubs and restaurants like Above Eleven, Mullis, Oskar, Alex etc. This is a happening, packed and lively street full of restaurants and clubs and have massive jam until the morning even at 4 am. If you don't like such area then maybe you should choose a different hotel / area the next trip.
