There are some good, big, cheap hotel-style rooms at Don Muang where I am staying, which is about 10-15 mins and I guess around 70-80 baht by taxi from the venue. I'll be going and coming back so I can share a taxi with people and show them around.
I know the 65 sq m room under me has 3 comfortable, hotel style beds, hot bath/shower, fridge, balcony etc. for 900 baht a night. I am pretty sure they have a lot of other rooms available since the airport at Don Muang closed. The restaurant has some excellent food and a nice atmosphere, otherwise there quite a few good options nearby, also a 7-11 (of course), there is room service, and the area is fairly quiet. Maybe not the best if someone wants to go all the way into town partying, but taxis back from downtown cost about 200 baht, and the location at Don Muang is easier for getting to and from the venue. I'm not sure about how it might compare to places around Sripatum Uni. Also there is free WIFI (which works well in the restaurant too) and an internet point. Contact Erawan Place: 02 9811 333 or email me.
