Where is Hua Lamphong?


Hua Lamphong is the name of Bangkok's main railway/train station located in Yaowarat (Chinatown). Hua Lamphong is well connected with links to the MRT (light rail) which in turn is linked to the airport and BTS (sky train).

The railway is linked nationwide and also has a connection to Malaysia. The area around Hua Lamphong is spacious and open with little street or road congestion. There are several small tourist sights nearby with easy transport links to the entire city of Bangkok.

There are nearby cafes and restaurants along with some bars. There are nightly buses that stop off beside the railways stations that take people across the country. Likewise, there are some travel agents in the area.

Staying near Hua Lamphong makes great sense if you are looking for a quieter more local place rather than the sprawl of Sukhumvit or the budget trappings of Khao San Road.


Why stay at a hotel near Hua Lamphong Railway Station


Hua Lamphong is Bangkok's main railway / train station. Trains leave and arrive here from all over Thailand 24 hours a day. Also trains

If you are arriving

late at night or departing early in the morning staying at a hotel near the station will save you a taxi ride and hassle as every hotel listed here is within 10 minutes easy walking distance from the train station.

Likewise if you are looking to stay in a quiet part of Bangkok yet still have easy access to the MRT/BTS to see the whole city then Hua Lamphong is a good choice. With lots of street food eateries, restaurants, cafes and the nearest wat a mere 20 minutes away on foot staying near the train station makes sense.

Did you know?

Many hotels claim to be "nearby" the train station but are in fact quite a hot, traffic heavy walk away.

Every hotel listed here has been visited and verified as being approx 10 minutes walk from the Hua Lamphong railway & MRT stations.

It's best to wear a facemask when entering a hotle in Thailand.


High-end hotels near the railway station



Bangkok Centre Hotel

Bangkok Centre HotelAt 2,000 baht per night for a double I expected a little more than a standard hotel room from this 3 star hotel. The bathroom is a little dated and wifi is pay only at 365 baht per day! With a plush lobby and waiting staff these are the perks. Being honest I found the mid-range hotels better value. But if it's a hotel with all the service trimmings you are after then you won't go wrong with the Bangkok Centre Hotel.

@Hua Lamphong

@Hua LampongJust outside the MRT station (exit 3/4) is this smart clean and modern hotel / flashpackers. While there's not much of a difference between the deluxe & double rooms they are both spacious with A/C, fridge, safe & wifi. Dorm rooms & singles available. The staff here are probably the friendliest on this this page. Reasonable tour packages and a cafe on site.

SK Boutique

SK BoutiquePlush old style decor gives SK a slightly higher class look. Reasonably priced doubles have very comfortable large beds & quality bedding. The deluxe double is probably the most plush & value for money room in the area considering the four-poster bed. A/C, fridge & wifi included. Family friendly rooms are also available. There's a cafe on site and the staff are helpful.

At One In Hualamphong

At One In HualamphongA Chinese run hotel with some very nice rooms on offer. Double rooms are spacious with mini balcony's while singles are smaller and start at around 700 baht with free wifi. Doubling as a tour center there's no hard sell as I found the staff simply not interested in much - you might want to give that some consideration. Nevertheless the rooms are very nice.

Chilli Bangkok

Chilli BangkokA new(ish) flashpacker type hotel that's clean and friendly. All rooms are ensuite with A/C, free wifi and free coffee all day long. The rooms are a little small but very, very clean. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable though the tours a little pricey (shop around). It's over a 10 min walk from the train station so it just barely makes it to this page in terms of distance but it is still walkable in 10 mins from the MRT station (Exit 4). Look out out the small signs down the narrow soi's when trying to locate it at the junction.

Rock bottom budget rooms


F.F. Guesthouse

F.F. GuesthouseAll rooms here are fan with shared bathroom. Single rooms are 200 baht while doubles are 300. This is as rock bottom as it get's in this location. While the friendly lady owner is pleasant the guesthouse has an odor problem. The beds have well worn metal frames and even more worn out foam mattresses. The bathroom is very basic. Only stay here if you are used to the above! * this is a shoe removal guesthouse.

Top rated hotels near Hua Lamphong


Cozy Bangkok Place Get's the nod as being the best rated hotel near Bangkok's railway station. It's not as close as others and has a shoe removal policy. But it is great value for money, free wifi, very clean, has very nice staff (Sui) a good place to either meet people or do your own thing and close to both the BTS and MRT. Looking for an alternative to Kao San Road? Then think about staying here. Check out the room prices of Cozy.

@HuaLamphong: Jumping up in budget it's more a modern budget hotel / flashpackers with very clean rooms, ensuite's, free wifi, cafe, good value tours and very friendly staff. It's literally just beside the MRT so there's a good selection of travelers coming through its doors. Check out the room prices of @HuaLamphong
