The only two properties I know of that offer three rooms were Centre Point and Bliston. Many serviced apartments offer two bedrooms but three is not as common from my experience but I'm mostly staying between MBK and Nana on Sukhumvit so that really limits what properties I view.
Bliston is not too far from a BTS, Chidlom, so you are near things. It is acceptable. Centre Point has some nice properties but only 2 baths in the 3 bedroom I think, one in the hall and one off the main bedroom and single bed's in two rooms. That wouldn't cut it for me so look carefully. ;) I just viewed some of Centre Point properties a few weeks ago.
The Bliston had over 220 sq meter for the 3 bedroom and Centre Point 3 bedroom was 120 sq meter the same size as a two bedroom which made the 3 bedroom cramped in the living and dining areas. The Centre Point was not what I would call a real 3 bedroom... I like their rooms at Center Point properties but I don't like their three bedroom's.
So the only one I could comment for you to look at is Bliston given your request to be near a BTS, it is centrally located, and is a decent place.

I"m sure other members know much more then me.

I will be in bangkok from 12-15 Jan. Can any brother recommend a hotel near to Victoria's Secret? Preferably with WIFI and up to THB2000. This would be my second time there so i'm quite lost in Bangkok.
Tried to look for a hotel on the web but really had no idea which area VS is in.

Nearby Hotels (in order of distance):
Royal Pacific (long walking distance) Agoda says this is very basic 1K Baht for Thais no internet and little English spoken.
Max
Radisson (recommended)

VS is dark blue thumbtack above rama 9 expressway in Soi 13.
Out of curiosity, do you have a reason for being close to VS? There are other good soapies.
The VS lineup has not so many girls mostly.
Nearby is La Defense, Catherine, Colonze 1, Colonze 4, Longbeach, Amsterdam, etc.

Not sure what reasonably priced means.
Google is your friend. A quick search will give you (3-bedroom):
- Oakwood city residence, Narathiwas 24, near Chong Nonsri BTS but not walking distance, free shuttle.
- Narathiwas Residence, same area as Oakwood
- CNC residence, Sukhumvit 33, walking distance to Phrom Phong BTS
- Somerset Park Suanplu, Silom area, near BTS and MRT
- plus a few others...

General Hotel Question
I have been doing alot of research and I would like to pose a general question to the forum.
Would you say that staying in a hotel valued at under $40/45 per night(sukhumvit area) would or would not be recommended in bangkok ?
I have been reading reviews on trip advisor with words like moldy smelly roaches etc. to describe their experiences in low end hotels. Are these finicky "normal" tourists that don't appreciate an average place or would others on the thread agree?
I would need a working AC and a mini bar/fridge. I could do without an in room safe but would prefer one.
The same goes for pattaya.
Thank you and happy holidays to everybody.

Artisttyp,
Like women everyone has different taste. I usually stay in the Nana area Soi 4, and stay at the Nana Hotel. The cost is 1490, you get a newspaper ( 30 baht and a buffet breakfast 185 baht ) in dollars that is around 42-45, lots of people wouldn't bother but I have never experience any roaches or ants. If I did I would have moved like a place I used to stay down Soi 4, Nana City Inn was only 850 Baht, but it went down hill. Rooms were filled with smoke and roaches it went downhill and I upgraded to Nana Hotel. No mini bar only provide water in Frig is what I like anyway. And no in room safe, safe deposit boxes in lobby. A/C always good, no dripping, but always too cold for me.
Now if you want something in between. Try Giotto place starts I believe around 1850 baht and up. Nice place to start out.. Not pushing his place but I have visited and it's a good situation. See his link....
In Pattaya, give Carlton Pattaya a visit, price has gone up 700 baht, good swimming pool, great location, has mini-bar, room safe, restaurant, salon, Internet. If noise doesn't bother you too much and want to be near the pool ask for a room floor level outside the pool. I like rooms that aren't carpet but tile floors. Soi 5, near Big C and Second Rd..
Good luck, LBM

Look, for $40 don't expect to walk in the Ritz. You get what you pay for.
For me, minimum comfort is at least a 4 star hotel, with TV, Wifi, Spacious Bathroom and all the regular amenities (newspapers, fruits in room, toiletries). I usually stay at Hyatt or Marriott (company pays so I don't care) and it costs about 3,500 to 5,000 per night.

I get the general idea thank you. I am used to south american standards which are pretty decent if you can deal with somewhat dodgy neighborhoods.
Thanks Again.

Look, $40 is about 1,400 thb and you can get something VERY decent for that on sukhumvit.

Thank you and happy holidays to everybody.[/QUOTE]Well, I'm usually perfectly satisfied with hotels in the 700-1200 baht (approximately $20-35) range per night in Pattaya and 900-1500 (around $25-45) baht per night in Bangkok. I have more or less the same requirements than yours if you add a good location and "girl friendly" to your criteria. Not as luxurious as 4 or 5-star hotels, but there are plenty of very decent 3-star hotels in both towns.

[QUOTE=NicFrenchy]Look, $40 is about 1,400 thb and you can get something VERY decent for that on sukhumvit.[/QUOTE]
For example, Nic?
Is "VERY decent" a euphemism for "barely tolerable"?
I wouldn't normally go that low because I want free good internet connection at the very least.
Grand Business Inn was 1800 last time with free internet, but no swimming pool, noisy, and beds too hard.
The Majestic Suites is a very good cheap option but usually booked out.
Perhaps City Lodge, Everrich, Stable Lodge, Ruamchit Plaza, Dynasty Inn, or the infamous Nana Hotel can sneak into 1400 Baht bracket. I have only ever tried Dynasty and Nana Hotel which were just acceptable.
Its hard to beat Livingstones Lodge at 1800 plus taxes (around 2000) including free internet, swimming pool, breakfast, and very comfortable beds, unless your requirements are very basic indeed.

[/QUOTE]
FWIW IMHO Stable Lodge would not make the decent list let alone Very Decent... Majestic and Dynasty could make into my book as decent but sometimes hard to get a good room and it's been a while since I've stayed there so have no recent knowledge (within the last year).
In your classification listing.. I'll agree Livingstones has comfortable beds, is quiet, clean, and the wifi was strong and fast for Thai standards. But WTF... everyone knows I enjoy LL but it's still a place I'd look at and recommend to folks.
There is also a HUGE difference between 1400 baht and 2500 baht in terms of room size / type / location etc... For 2600 baht a night I got a serviced apartment (one bedroom, dining room, living room, separate work area, patio, full kitchen, washer / dryer) with internet included at one of the Compass Hospitalities properties in BKK.
