5 Best Budget Hotels
in Bang Khen Bangkok
Compared on 3 Sites

Petchsiri Boutique Hotel is a 22-room 2-star boutique in Soi Ramintra 19. Step out of the lobby and you're 2–3 minutes on foot from BTS Lat Pla Khao on the Green Line North — a direct ride to Siam in about 20 minutes. Score 8.5 from 517 reviews — the most-reviewed and highest-scoring property in Bang Khen. Reviewers consistently note clean rooms, private balconies, free parking and friendly staff. The honest note: there is no lift, so upper-floor rooms mean stairs with luggage; no pool, restaurant or wide lobby — this is an honest budget boutique, not a resort. But if your goal is a clean, comfortable, good-value base with easy BTS access, it delivers.

54 Place Saphan Mai is a 2-star budget hotel in Soi Phahonyothin 54, Sai Mai district. Score 8.6 — the highest in this group, but from only 88 reviews, which means the picture is still forming and the data pool is thin compared with other options here. What puts it on the map is a combination that is genuinely hard to find at this price: free breakfast buffet starting at 4am and a Don Mueang Airport shuttle for THB 50 per person. Free parking, 24hr front desk and free Wi-Fi round it out. The honest note: rooms are small, soundproofing is thin, and some showers run weak on hot water — standard budget trade-offs, honestly noted.

Gems Park is a 90-room 3-star serviced apartment opened in 2012 on Soi Phahonyothin 59. The headline draw is straightforward: BTS Anusawari Lak Si (N18) is just 30–100 metres from the hotel — a 1-minute walk, the best rail connection in this roundup. Step outside and you're on the Green Line North for a 30-minute direct ride to Siam. Score 7.6 from 453 reviews — lower than Petchsiri, but the most reviews among the 3-star properties here, and the front-desk team earns consistent praise for being genuinely helpful. The honest note: rooms are functional at 25 sqm, not aesthetic showcases; some reviews mention inconsistent cleanliness and occasional insects — inspect the room at check-in.

5 Chang Palace Hotel is an 18-room 2-star property in Soi Ramintra 5 Branch 9, with rooms built from converted shipping containers renovated in 2018. From THB 500 — the cheapest price in Bang Khen for a private room with en-suite bathroom. Score 8.1 from 416 reviews — better than most would expect at this price; staff friendliness draws consistent praise. The honest note: room quality is inconsistent between units — some show rust around window frames, yellowing on linen or worn fittings. Always photograph the room immediately at check-in and report issues before unpacking. BTS Lat Pla Khao is 1.6km away; you'll need a motorbike taxi or Grab every time. Check-in closes at 9:30pm.

Leelawadee Resotel Raminthra 23 is a 24-room 3-star urban resort tucked in Soi Ramintra 23 Branch 8. The setting is quiet and garden-like — a genuine contrast to most budget options — with private balconies on every room and complimentary bicycles for guests, something almost unheard of at this price tier. Score 7.8 from only 27 reviews — the smallest data set in this roundup, which means the picture is not yet fully formed and carries more uncertainty than the others. Cleanliness is rated 8.7, a clear strength. The honest note: the soi is deep — restaurants and shops are not within walking distance of the door; English at the front desk is limited; no restaurant or pool on-site.
