The Key is located just off Sukhumvit...
The Key is located just off Sukhumvit soi 19. The entrance is actually off of soi 19, so it's a little hard to find at first. The taxi drivers don't know a lot about the place, but there is a large sign hanging from the building.
The area caters to a lot of Japanese, so the hotel is decorated in a very Japanese style. It is quite small, and has no pool or restaurant. But it is very clean, very well maintained and the staff very friendly and helpful. I booked a double room, and guests are not a problem.
They provide a breakfast, which you must choose from a list the night before and it will be delivered to your room at a time you specify. It is very basic, but everything was very tasty. You could choose either a continental breakfast (croissants and juice) or a Thai (joke/congee with shrimp, chicken or pork and juice). My only complaint is that they completely forgot to bring the breakfast on the first day.
The bathroom is large enough, and had a nice shower. The only complaint was that the towels were very cheap and thin.
The mini bar is well stocked and reasonably priced.
It is well located, very near the Asoke skytrain station, so it's very easy to get to just about anywhere you want to go.
After checking out, I went to Hua Hin for Songkran. Upon returning to Bangkok I regretted not staying at The Key again. I can attest that there are much worse places in Bangkok, at much higher prices. I would stay here again.

I was most satisfied with my overall experience at this hotel.
The room my wife and I stayed in (a Platinum Deluxe Double)was very clean and neat (appeared to have been fairly recently re-furbished), and not far off from that of a star class hotel. A little smaller than the pictures indicate, but quite comfortable. All the basic necessities were at hand, and then some. There is no view to speak of though, with buildings on all sides. The bathroom was a bit small, but very clean and well-appointed.
The staff was friendly and helpful.
The location is excellent (less than 100 meters from the top of Sukhumvit Soi 19 - on the left), with both a sky train station (Asok) and MRTA (subway) station (Sukhumvit) 3 minutes away, making most interesting areas of Bangkok accessible in no time. There are lots of restaurants and street vendors in close proximity, as is a laundry. A mini mart is just across the road.
The only drawbacks that I can think of are, 1) the breakfast has no variety at all, and, 2) most taxi drivers do not know where the hotel is.
Excellent value for money.

I was upgraded to a one bedroom suite. It was large and well appointed. There is kitchnettes to fix a snack or larger breakfast. The location is ideal, next to both skytrain and subway. I would stay here next time I visit Bangkok
