The Convenient Resort - Just five minutes from Suvarnabhumi Airport. Basic room, free airport shuttle and breakfast for 920 Baht when I stayed there last August upon arriving late into BKK. It is not a resort but it's convenient and you get to save a bundle. No bars around but the bell boy can get you a beer if you want one and the in-house masseuse is available if you need a jet lag-soothing massage.

Location of Convenient Resort:

9-11 Lat krabang Soi 38, Lat Krabang
Bangkok, Thailand, 10520

I had the same problem arriving from Syd on BA (J class) 23:00hrs and leaving on GF to BAh (J class) 10:00hrs, knowing the lounges would be closed, I looked at the options (BEFORE READING THIS THREAD) and figured I would book the Conrad, as there was a special deal on for 70 ukstg a night! I have since changed my flight from SYD now arriving at 11am so have a full 23 hours to enjoy the conrad, use my Hilton Gold and will enjoy a few hours in the spa!

I stayed at the Thong Ta resort on both ends of my trip. Only 5 minutes from Suvarnabhumi Airport. I booked online at Expedia for $20.70 and paid B1000 ($28) with no reservation at the end of my trip. It was a very clean and new resort. Checking in at 1 AM was not a problem. A car back to the airport is B150 or you can walk to the end of the Soi and get a taxi.

I stopped by the Bangkok Airways counter and asked about a rate for the Novotel BKK Airport hotel. They quoted me the price (appx 3000THB IIRC) and asked if I wanted to buy a coupon. I guess they do this alot and prepaid coupons are their prefered method.

I'll assume there are many airlines that can get a discounted rate. I'd suggest asking with whatever carrier you're flying and maybe we can compile a list to compare.

I also stayed here (booked using orphan thank you points, so essentially a free stay). Basically, my impression is that you get what you pay for. While the room was clean, I was greeted with a draft of humid mildewy air when the door to the room was opened. Luckily, after opening the windows and turning on the a/c it wasn't that bad plus I also had a slightly stuffed nose due to a lingering cold. It ended up being fine for my <10 hr stay and was definitely very convenient to the airport.

The 150 thb for the hotel taxi is overpriced, but you do get a nicer car than a regular taxi, and it is much more convenient than walking to the end of the street for a regular taxi especially when it is hot. I also would recommend getting the hotel taxi to pick you up at the airport (another 150 thb), b/c it is unlikely a regular taxi would know where the hotel is located. There is another similar airport hotel with a free shuttle listed on expedia, but they are ~$6 more, so I would go for this one since it comes out to the same price and you don't have to wait for the scheduled shuttle times.

Found this list of hotels near Suvarnabhumi, sorted by distance from the airport. There are 20 listed and seems to have hotels from a wide section of price ranges from USD18 up to 4 star hotels.

Yeah it's not bad at all. Just make sure you don't need to actually leave as it's not very close to much. I got there really late and left super early so I don't know how walkable anything is, but that pack of stray dogs on the street near the hotel wasn't confidence inspiring.

The aircon is the typical remote control setup found in most houses/apartments in east Asia.

I'd still stay there again, just a friendly heads-up to others out there.

I stayed there twice in April for an overnight layover. It's cheap and clean and convient. BTW they do not have elevators but they carry your luggage to your room but not downstairs in the morning. Perhaps you have to ask. I didn't. Breakfirst was included but I skipped it for the TG F lounge.

Hi there,

I need to stay overnight at BKK on 17/08 and considering arrival and departure time, the novotel looks like the most suitable option. Is it still cheaper to book when getting there at one of the airlines counter or though accor website?
Thanks!

I stayed at the Novotel earlier this summer and got a pretty good price through www.agoda.com. www.asiarooms.com is also a pretty good website for great room rates in Asia

Thanks billp for maintaining this list ^

I've stayed at both Thong Ta and Convenience Resort.
Neither was a bad experience.
Next time, I will choose Thong Ta, however. Overall, it is more pleasing to the eye and the rooms are larger/nicer. Convenience Resort's rooms are too utilitarian looking. Much better rooms at Thong Ta.

Similarly priced.

I have stayed at the Novetel and queens garden, found the novetel very nice, great rooms, nice pool and good variety of eateries, most often stay at queens garden because of the price and found this is a great value, clean, pretty quiet, good restaurant .
