Bangkok is a backpacker’s heaven, but travellers looking for a more polished or even luxurious city break will also be pleasantly surprised by the amount of value available. We found many well-rated 4–5 star hotels from roughly €40 per night — yes, really. For the suggested itinerary landing on 28 October, our hand-picked option is Montien Hotel Surawong Bangkok, a strong first-base choice in central Silom with an excellent location, pool access and very good room rates for the quality on offer.
Montien Hotel Surawong Bangkok
A classic, centrally located Bangkok base in the Silom / Surawong area, close to both BTS Sala Daeng and MRT Sam Yan. It is a practical choice for travellers who want a city hotel with a more upscale feel without jumping into very high Bangkok hotel prices.
- Room shown: Deluxe Twin Room, around 30 m², landmark/city-view style room.
- Most relevant rate: from approximately €249 for 3 nights, taxes included.
- Breakfast option: breakfast can be added from around €21, while a breakfast-included flexible option was shown from approximately €290.
- Perks shown: parking, high-speed internet, outdoor pool, fitness centre and strong overall location.
- Best for: couples, friends, first-time Bangkok visitors and travellers who want comfort without going overboard on budget.
This is not the absolute cheapest place in Bangkok — and that is exactly the point. It is a nicer first-stop option for this deal, balancing location, comfort, quality and value.
Why we like this hotel for this deal
Bangkok has one of the broadest hotel ranges anywhere in the world. You can sleep very cheaply, but you can also upgrade into a genuinely comfortable 4–5 star stay without spending a fortune.
Montien Hotel Surawong works well because it gives you a proper city-hotel feel in an area that is both practical and interesting. Silom is a strong base for food, city life, shopping access, public transport and easy movement around Bangkok.
For the suggested 28 October–31 October stay, the pricing is still very fair for the level of hotel, and the option to step up to breakfast-inclusive rates keeps it flexible depending on your travel style.
Suggested Bangkok stay and where to go next
For most travellers, 3 to 4 nights in Bangkok is a very good starting point. It gives you enough time to see temples, markets, rooftop bars, shopping malls and some of the classic neighbourhood contrasts without rushing too much.
After Bangkok, a very logical next step depends on your travel style: Chiang Mai for culture and a slower pace, Ayutthaya / Kanchanaburi for shorter historical add-ons, or Phuket / Krabi / Koh Samui if you want to continue with beach time.
If time is limited, simply using Bangkok as a comfortable 3-night city stop before moving south is already a very solid plan.
Quick Bangkok area guide
Great all-round base for this hotel pick. Central, well connected, lively and convenient for first-time visitors.

Better if you want a more scenic Bangkok feel with river views and a slightly more resort-like atmosphere.
You can compare Montien Hotel Surawong Bangkok with other properties directly below. Bangkok has excellent hotel competition, so it is always worth checking room-only vs breakfast-included prices, flexible vs non-refundable options and alternative areas such as Silom, Sukhumvit, Riverside and Siam.
Hotel prices in Bangkok change quickly depending on room type, cancellation conditions, breakfast inclusion, promotions and local demand. Recheck the final room details, taxes, breakfast option, hotel location and payment terms before booking.
