If more of your shortlist points here, compare Phrom Phong / Thonglor / Sukhumvit as a base.
Huai Khwang's New Chinatown is one signal, not a reason by itself to choose a hotel. It sits in Huai Khwang, and RJNS currently gives Phrom Phong / Thonglor / Sukhumvit the strongest stay fit for this stop. If more of your saved places cluster on this side of Bangkok, the area becomes more useful as a base.
Best when your trip leans toward central/east Bangkok, dining, nightlife and BTS convenience more than Old Town wandering.
