Hard to find, serviced apartment, clean, comfy
the main reason i opted for this "hotel" was because it was close to the airport and a subway station. not exactly. no taxi drivers knew how to find it (3 different tries), not even the rail station. the station is thai national railway, not bts. although you can see the station from the hotel, you have to walk the opposite direction about 500m, go over tracks, around a gate, and then walk back. it is too close for taxi or anything, and at the border of being too far away - especially if you are carrying anything or it is raining.
the approach to the hotel is among some run-down stores where the front has been torn up. it is all dirt. so, the taxi has to jump the curb, go over a dirt/mud area and then between two buildings to find a street taking you to the "hotel".
fortunately, during the day, you can see the "hotel" sign from the main street.
this is not a "hotel", it is a serviced apartment.
the place is well run, clean, and the rooms are comfortable. everything worked. the public areas are not air conditioned, there are no service staff.
if i were going to be in bkk for a lengthy period, this might be a good option. for a quick trip looking for easy access to airport and bts, this is not the solution.
one other note, the area appears to be predominantly muslim and indian. that is fine, but be aware it means your local meal choices are more limited (no pork or no beef, etc.), and english is not spoken at all.
the front desk folks (very limited hours) were nice and assisted getting a taxi. they speak no english. again, that is fine, just be aware and expect a lengthier game of charades trying to communicate.
