With hundreds of hotels in Bangkok choosing the right one can be a daunting task. If you are planning on staying in the Silom Road area I can personally recommend at least one – Swiss Lodge on Convent Road.

Silom Road is one of the tourist and business centers of Bangkok so it is a great place to base yourself while in Bangkok. And the Swiss Lodge is a wonderful hotel. It is a small boutique hotel located on Convent Road so you get very personalized service and you avoid the noise and crowds of Silom Road. I have stayed there numerous times when visiting the Big Mango and I have never been disappointed.

In addition to putting yourself right in the heart of Bangkok’s business district you are also just a short 5 minute walk from the Sala Daeng BTS station, Central Silom shopping mall and the famous Patpong night market. Add to that the close proximity to several very good restaurants and street vendors and a short walk to BNH Hospital and there isn’t much you’ll be missing with this location.

Speaking of BNH hospital, if you are in Bangkok for medical treatment BNH can get you a discounted rate for the Swiss Lodge. Golf worked there as a nurse and she was able to get me rates that were about 40% off the standard rack rate. Even without the discount though, the Swiss Lodge is a great value for your money with rooms starting at just 3800 baht. You’re not likely to find a better deal around Silom when you consider the personal touch you get from a boutique hotel.

I’ve found when staying at the Swiss Lodge that the staff is very polite and helpful, the rooms are clean and neat and the buffet breakfast (included) in their dining room has always been wonderful. I also like the pool on the fourth floor of the Swiss Lodge which is smallish, but very private and inviting. Actually everything about the Swiss Lodge strikes me that way, private and inviting.

If you are planning on bringing guests back to the room I don’t think that is a problem either. I was never questioned about Golf sharing a room with me and there was no extra surcharge added like some other Bangkok hotels. Please keep in mind however that this is a quiet hotel and many of the guests are business people and families so please act accordingly. Like everything else Swiss they seem to be neutral, but using some discretion is likely the best course.

Also like everything Swiss you’ll find and attention to detail, personalized service and efficiency are the norm at the Swiss Lodge. It is truly one of the best experiences I have had at a hotel in this price range anywhere in the world.

If you’re planning on coming to Bangkok and looking for a hotel in the Silom area then check out the Swiss Lodge. I’d also love to hear you comments once you’ve stayed there or if you’ve been fortunate enough to have already found this gem of a boutique hotel in Bangkok.

Steve and Golf recommend booking your stay at Swiss Lodge Bangkok Boutique Hotel on Hotels.com.
