When I was shopping for a Bangkok...
When I was shopping for a Bangkok hotel, I wanted one reasonably priced, clean and in the Sukhumvit area in the lower soi numbers. Manhattan Hotel not only met my criteria, it exceeded it. It's location is great, just a short block off Sukhumvit, and within about a 10 minute walk from two Sky Train stations. The staff was courteous and helpful. The rooms were fine. There is a construction site next door, but the noise didn't start early or go late. If you want luxury, this is not your hotel. But if you want a comfortable, clean place to sleep after your days of shopping, touring, and/or business, this is value for your money. I hope to visit Bangkok again soon, and Manhattan Hotel will be my choice.
