Default i need a good hotel close to the airport in bangkok.?

Traveling to Thailand in may/june and i would like to find a nice, inexpensive hotel close to the airport. The flight is long and we would just like to sleep when we get there and then leave to our island in the morning. there will be 2 couples so we would need 2 beds. im not really finding anything that mentions or gives the options for 2 double beds. thanks!
we really only need something close and cheap for sleeping. we will be leaving early the next morning for our island travel. we don;t need anything with shopping, nightlife, or a multitude of restaraunts. thanks

I would seriously broaden your horizon and get a hotel in central Bangkok.

The ride into town takes about 45mins and will cost you about 400 baht with expressway charges and tip included.

It would be more fun, cheaper, the food would be better and not anywhere near as stale as those airport hotels generally are.

Good luck.

What does cheap mean to you, under $100 or under $10? If you haven't firmed up your schedule yet - you ought to plan on staying in Bangkok for a couple days at first and not immediately fly to some other city! Schedule your last night in Bangkok too so you won't have to worry about a connecting flight canceling out and you missing your return flight home. Bangkok is quite warm, you can even get a tan just walking around the city so you don't actually have to be at a beach!

This problem comes up all the time when connecting flights out of Bangkok come early in the morning. Your choices for hotels near the airport are limited.

My vote is to go into town by meter taxi. You can get a taxi at the taxi sign up desk outside the arrivals hall, near the curb. The price of a taxi ride covers all riding in the taxi - not per passenger!

By the way - there are two airports in Bangkok. Do you know which airport your departing flight leaves from??? Don Muang, the old airport, handles many of the local - within Thailand flights and Suvarnabhumi handles most of the international flights and a few local flights. Your ticket will say DMK for Don Muang and BKK for Suvarnabhumi. These two airports are not close together, they are on separate sides of Bangkok.

Google up the Asia Hotel and see if that meets your price range. The Asia Hotel is right on a Skytrain stop. The Skytrain can take you around town quick and easy.

Don't bypass Bangkok - it is the capital city and worth a visit. Best move is to see Bangkok for a couple days and eliminate any hotel problems. If you were planning on not seeing Bangkok and immediately flying out after your connecting flight comes in - make sure you allow enough time!

Good luck.

Novotel, i am sure you afford it , the price is practical. I understand you are leaving and you need to stay close at the airport, so it's perfect.

This website lists many hotels within 5-10 minutes from the airport, the one's in Bangna are a little further away and the Novotel at the airport is overpriced (but very convenient), good luck:
