3-star hotels in Bangkok

A shortlist of 3-star hotels in Bangkok, spread from Ladkrabang and Don Muang in the north-east to Bang Kapi, Bangna and Rama II in the south.

Staying in Bangkok

Bangkok rewards visitors who look beyond the centre: the city spreads across dozens of districts, each with its own markets, canals and eating streets, and the hotels on this shortlist sit in the outer residential and airport-side neighbourhoods rather than in the tourist core. Their addresses place them in Ladkrabang, Don Muang, Bang Kapi, Hua Mak, Bangna, Srinakharin, Ngamwongwan, Ramkhamhaeng, Chang Watthana and Rama II, so you are choosing between an easy airport stopover and a longer stay in a local, everyday part of the capital.

Guest ratings here run from 4.2 to 4.9 out of 5, with review counts from 29 to 1,520, so the list covers both small, personal places and large, heavily reviewed ones. Several properties are built around the airports, with shuttle service and parking, while others offer family rooms, a pool, a spa or a fitness centre. It suits couples and families who want space and quiet, business travellers passing through Don Muang, and anyone taking a short break who prefers a local district to the busy centre.
