City Lodge's proximity to famous Soi 11 (Soi Arab and Soi Cowboy), BTS Station Nana and Chitlom attracted us to stay there twice. Staff seemed to be very friendly, spoke very good English and even upgraded our room so that we could have an amazing view. The rooms are very spacious, toiletries were provided on a daily basis and our room was cleaned very well too. It is not that new and modern like some of the other hotels nearby but a great deal for the offered price. It's two minutes walk to Soi 11 with numerous bars, clubs and restaurants. You can see the hotel going down from Nana Station which is also quite convenient if you want to go to Siam or Chitlom. 
We would definitely stay there one more time (if a little low on budget though :)

Spacious rooms and convenient location

Stayed here for 3 nights. Despite it's quirks, I would still approve this super rustic hotel for those who want easy access to EVERYTHING

PROS:
-About it's greatest strength is that it's located literally next to the Nana BTS station. Just walk out the lobby, and there you are. However, this can be a double edged sword if you book the Standard room like I did, as my room was facing the station itself
-As the hotel was built in the 1980s, it has an old school charm to it. The brown and sepia toned decor gives you a warm and fuzzy feeling from 30 years ago
-Despite it's age, the room is reasonably clean and comfortable. Love the bed
-Has a mid size refrigerator and a safe
-Bed is comfortable and the air conditioner is killer. A very huge asset in Bangkok's weather. Be very careful not to set the temp to 15 C or you will freeze to death
-Just minutes away from the Terminal 21 shopping mall and Nana Plaza (if you're into the nightlife part)

CONS:
-By admission of the hotel clerk herself, you will need to avoid the Standard room if you don't want to end up hearing the overcrowded BTS skytrains roll by every few minutes. Not good for light sleepers
-As it's located in the nightlife part of BKK, you will face the harassment of tuk-tuk drivers and street vendors every time you exit the lobby
-Some may not get used to the carpeted 'mouldy' smell that's often mentioned in the review section. Personally, I'm fine with it
-The air conditioner has NO REMOTE CONTROL. You'll have to get off your bed every time you want to change the temperature at the wall panel. A real annoyance if you change the temps all the time
-Standard room is quite small. The bed takes up a huge chunk of the room, so there's not much walking space. Again, may not be a bother to some people

I would definitely stay here again, as I can't live in Bangkok without having a BTS nearby. If you have a reasonable tolerance for street noise and slightly cramped spaces, City Lodge is surprisingly good value for money. 

(Honestly, I hope the decor never gets an upgrade, as this is one of the few hotels that retains the nostalgic feeling I remember as a kid. In fact, all the staff look like they have been with the hotel since it's inception)

Marvelous location, old-school charm

This is not a luxury resort by any means, but if you are looking for somewhere cheap to stay in Bangkok that is really close to the BTS system, this is it! I booked through Expedia and was meet by the friendly staff at the front desk. Every thing was just as I expected. Clean room, AC, not too noisy except for the BTS trains, but proximity is everything. Being so close to the Nana BTS station made for an easy transfer to and from the International Airport as well as the major shopping areas.

Inexpensive Hotel that is Super Close to the Nana BTS

good location and the staff are extremely friendly. Lots of restaurants and convenience is the BTS right in front of hotel. Its approx. 15 mins walk to the Terminal 21 - a trendy high rise building with lots of different exotic food on every level.

Good service

Couple years ago this was my first stay in Bangkok. I didn't know before that this Hotel is in the redlight district. It was not a real big deal but  annoying outside at the evening time. The room had the southeastasia smell of the air con, the rest was ok. My bathroom had a bathtub, what is not really common here in Thailand. Well for 20€ it was a lil bit do messy, but it is the center of BKK.... I heard something banging behind the wall all the nights, I guess someone just played football ;)

Middle in BKK

I stayed here for one night and paid extra to get a more quiet room in back of the hotel. I felt it didnt help much cause you hear the trafic very well. Rooms had a smell of mold.
Breakfast was served in "sports bar" arround the "corner" who tasted great.

Noizy and smelly

I booked for my Stay in March, through Agoda. It says pay to property. In my past experience other hotel only charge me when i arrive. But this hotel charge me immediately today upon booking! Turns out they don't even have a website for me to email. I contacted them through Agoda asking them to send me receipt. No response. Do not book this hotel.
