The Royal City Hotel

Although the location is not central Bangkok, it was ideal for being close to friends living in Bangkok. The hotel was of high standard in service, cleanliness and comfort. The room rates were lower than comparable tourist hotels downtown. Book here if the location serves a purpose other than convenient for touristing in Bangkok as there is a lack of public transportation to get around from the hotel (but you can always catch a taxi).

Nothing to criticize or suggest for improvement. Stay here if you're looking for a nice base and are more of an independent traveler who won't need to rely on a hotel for a variety of tourist services.
