The Paragon Inn, Bang Na/Suvarnabhumi Airport

The Paragon Inn, Bang Na/Suvarnabhumi Airport

This family owned and run hotel is near Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi airport, just a 10 minute ride away. Having just stayed at the Silver Gold Garden hotel near the Paragon Inn, the Inn is slightly more upscale but still in a very price friendly range.
The hotel provides 25 spacious rooms and the hotel is surrounded by beautiful nature and decorated in a contemporary style.

It's traditional Thai style offers a clean, cozy atmosphere for you to admire and enjoy. The on-site swimming pool in a garden setting makes the Paragon Inn different from any other airport area hotel experience and adds just that little bit extra. Be aware that their may be an extra charge for using the pool though but on the other hand, it may be possible to upgrade the room for just a very small amount, pending on availability. Free wifi is available throughout the hotel.
It is also conveniently located near the Paseo Shopping Complex with a night market and restaurants and room service continues until 2am.

The Paragon Inn only offers one way transfers, from the hotel to the airport and they come at a marginal extra charge.

A very nice option in case you need a stop over between flights.

Silver Gold Garden Suvarnabhumi Airport Hotel, Bang Na/Suvarnabhumi Airport

Silver Gold Garden Suvarnabhumi Airport Hotel, Bang Na/Suvarnabhumi Airport

This is a very convenient located hotel within 10 to 15 minutes from Suvarnabhumi Airport and it offers a free round trip transfer to/from the airport and it's very affordable. What else can you ask for.
I will use it tonight for a late arrival from Samui and an early departure from the airport, just perfect for my purpose this 4 story property with 67 rooms and suites.
The transfers from the hotel to the airport are every hour on the half hour and upon arriving at the airport, you may have to wait a bit before the transfer takes off. All in all worthwhile considering it's included in the rate.

There's a 24 hours Tesco Lotus branch opposite the hotel at the right hand side and a 7-11 at the left hand side as well as a night market and the hotel itself offers babysitting, business center, family room, hotel/airport transfer, laundry service/dry cleaning, meeting facilities , restaurant, room service, safety deposit boxes and WiFi (at a small surcharge). The hotel also has ample parking space available. Sounds about ideal to me!

The room amenities are also well taken care of; air conditioning, balcony/terrace, bathrobes, complimentary bottled water, desk, hair dryer, mini bar, non smoking rooms, satellite/cable TV, shower, television, television LCD/plasma screen and there's a small massage parlor attached to the hotel.

Can't beat this in my humble opinion for this price. An absolute winner at low cost! The rooms are small but do the job for a night and the reception staff was very efficient during my stay. I got a room at the ground floor, which was very convenient, be aware that the hotel does not have an elevator, getting to the room will be easy with staff help but getting out of a room might be more tricky unless you get staff involved. Biggest downside in mu opinion is the lack of free internet, similar hotels in the are do include this at similar rates. Until they change this policy they won't get my business anymore.
