I need some advice - choosing between a 2 bedroom apartment in Oriental Residence or 2 studio suites at Hansar (both costing me around the same and within my budget) - what would the pros recommend

Depends on what you like to do and how much time you want to spend getting to and from Bangkok's major attractions.
stimpy has a very good point about the reputation of the Oriental and they have some good food venues. Location is also decent if you want to go to lower Sukhumvit. But for major tourist attractions along the river, the Hansar has the better location.
