I am thinking of staying at CitiChic Hotel. newish, modern, hip (um, ok, clean and neat)
Question: Since I am visiting Bangkok for the Nana - Soi Cowboy - Soi 33 trifecta, is this a good location. I will actually be in BKK twice this trip so i could do two hotels like CitiChic and majestic.
Any way, is Citichic in the right spot -- [url]http://www.citichichotel.com/map_nearby.html[/url] -- I know how hot a 5 - 10 block walk can get even at 8PM.
Oh, they tell me they are a friendly place. :)
Thanks

Look about 3 responses below and there is a short critique of the Chic Hotel. It's a good place, but not in the abso;ute heart of the action. at least 10 minutes walk from NEP, 15 from cowboy, 5 down to Sukhumvit. There aren't girls hanging about the immediate area - it is on Soi 13.
But it's a nice place, new and modern rooms - and it's on the greenway so there are cabs going by constantly.
I'm thinking of staying at the City Lodge soi 19 because its close to soi cowboys action. An alternative is S15 just for the better rooms.. But most of our action will center around Cowboy.. Is there a better located hotel than city lodge that at least three starts ... Oh and not the Taipan... looks kind of old the rooms..
Thanks for your help....
[QUOTE=Woorace]Which of the 2 Marriotts is the best to stay at in Bangkok for mongering. The J.W. or the Marriott resort & Spa? Thanks, for any info.[/QUOTE]
I stayed at J.W many times and would choose this one. They are GF and very respectful to the girls when you eat with them in the restaurants or approach the front desk area. They don't do the sneering and looking down routine....and don't ask any questions. I like this place.
Peterbeijing,
Im posting this from CitiChic Hotel. Excellent room, 37"LCD TV, Bath Tub,
Superbly clean rooms and really superb service! Free wifi too.
Just checked in, will go check out the Vietnamese food later and really really
later, will get some action:)
Bro Skeeter, thanks again
Does anyone knows if Nana Guesthouse still there?
Remember it 15 years ago. Stayed there many times when in BKK.
It was inside Nana Plaza and I think I payed around 350baht.
There was a nice middleage TG working there or maybe the owner.
Short walk to Hollywood...
"Only for you I don't regret"
As Always,

One of the hotel web sites said that City Lodge Soi 19 has no elevator is this true.
Can any one confirm or deny this info?.
Thanks
I stayed at the LeFenix Sukhumvit Hotel the other night. It's an interesting hotel in a good location on the end of Soi 11. Style-wise, it has that trendy, minimalist look that's getting more popular in Bangkok (white and pastel colors, flat screen TV, comfortable bed, subtle mood lighting. etc.). The hotel staff was very efficient and friendly.
The very first page of the in-room hotel guide outlined their guest policy (i.e., no guests; there is a joiner fee). Skirting this, though, I had a spirited in-call massage for about three hours and there were no issues with that. My favorite massage gal is pretty good at floating in and out wherever she goes. Probably would work OK for short time.
I was able to find a good last minute rate (the day before) on ratestogodotcom. There's good rates on the hotel website, too.
BTW, I've used Sabai Sabai Massage for hotel delivery a number of times now and it's been well worth it.

The Map is not to scale so its worth pointing out that Citichic is at least 400metres down Soi 13.
Worry about rain more than heat right now.
Thats the only reason I chose S15 recently. To avoid that extra 400-500 metres and be very central to mongering venues. But I would like to give Citichic a go some time soon, as it is well rated.
Hotels right on Sukhumwit, its worth considering S15, Ruamchit Plaza, Majestic Suites. All with reviews posted.
I will go back to Livingstone's Lodge this weekend, which just a short walk into Soi 33. My time is short. My favourite Oily MPs are close. Its also a short taxi or motorcycle ride through back Sois to Cowboy and the MRT. For Nana Plaza, I would walk out and cross Sukhumwit at the pedestriation crossing, then an easy short taxi ride to Nana provided not peak hour. If you want to spend heaps of time at Nana (and I don't), then Majestic or Dynasty Grande are good options.
Le Fenix is ok.
Its best to smuggle them in through the elevator that goes to the street, as in you meet them outside and take them up, or if you pick them up from outside you take them in with you.
If the wander aimlessly past reception on their own they will be asked to register and deposit their ID card and then you are at the mercy of the reception girls as to whether they want to charge you a joiner fee or not.
You can book direct with good last minute rates directly at the hotel website :

If you into banging girls in Q bar or Bed Superclub, then Le Fenix is "ideal location".

The Malaysia Hotel off Rama 1V , was OK but forget it now so try the REX Hotel on Sukhumvit Road near Soi 34 and the Skytrain. Anything around Nana has gone up in price and down in value.
CitiChic is around a 400m walk to Sukhumvit or to the Biergarten. And the swimming pool is very small. Other than that, the place is great. If you're familiar with the location of the President Solitaire, it's right next door. The LeFenix is only about 100m closer to those strategic places, and I believe it is inferior to CitiChic, and certainly not as friendly.
Now that the Dynasty Grande has come down off of their jacked up 2800 baht rate from last year, I think it's a better choice than CitiChic, due to location and a better swimming pool. But they are both among the better choices, in the group of full service hotels that are a cut above the Majestic Suites/Dynasty Inn/Nana Hotel class of place.
I'm going to BKK first time November. Looks like Majestic Suites is less expensive than many, and clean. If you get a single, do you usually need to pay joiner fee? They emailed me and said with Double, no joiner fee, but haven't heard from them (yet) on the single joiner fee issue. Do most of the GF hotels in this area have joiner's fees? Thanks for your help--I'm an ignorant noobie.

Majestic Suites does not charge joiner fees. Very convenient if you plan to hit Nana Plaza as it is right around the corner. Only difference if you book a single vs. double is you get one breakfast and not two. Most hotels in this area are GF. A few are not and charge joiner fees are Ambassador, Zenith and Amari.
