Thailand, Bangkok, British Embassy information:

Help for British nationals page of the Embassy:

I advise you to look at hotels near Phloen Chit BTS area,
The Ploenchit BTS Skytrain station stop is very near the embassy.Anywhere along the line will be OK.
OR any hotel on the BTS line as the British embassy is located very near and using the BTS is very convenience and not expensive. (Max 40 Baht per trip with BTS).
"Agoda" hotel search/online booking, Phloen Chit, Bankok area:
I did some searching for you and found this nice hotel nearby the embassy and very reasonable rates as well.
*Please note Agoda rates are usually cheaper than if you go directly to the hotel itself.
