What's the scoop, girl friendly?
Thanks[/QUOTE]Stayed at the Darwin in October 2008. At that time it was definitely girl friendly.
Has anyone stayed at The Key Hotel on soi 19 lately?
Guest friendly? Early reports seem contradictory.

Has anyone stayed at the TownLodge soi 18 recently. GF but Guys used to avoid the hotel due to construction work near the hotel. What is the latest news.
Kool Dude
Recently stayed at Hopeland serviced apartments in Soi 24 while not in mongering mode.
If playing the field, I would have probably gone to my normal haunts.
Special price was 2300 Baht, including free breakfast, free wifi, small but usable pool.
Room had a bedroom, lounge and kitchenette. Very nicely furnished.
Mostly Japanese customers. Only down side was on quiet days, the breakfast selection was a bit limited, but adequate, e.g. no scrambled eggs or omelettes.
Coffee was a bit variable, too weak on occasions.
Wifi needed special settings under Vista, but fine once setup. A bit old fashioned?
I would go back as a very classy room at this price.
Slightly too far from Suk (400m+) but still reasonably close to Phrom Phong station.

Why do you specifically mention '[b]not in mongering mode[/b]'? Would that be a problem there?
I would have thought, that a major reason for getting a serviced appartment, as opposed to a hotel, would be the total liberty of whom you bring to your room(s).

Girls you bring back to your domicile now know where you live. That is not necessarily a desirable thing, especially if they get clingy or turn into stalkers.
Thanks for the tip. I booked a couple of nights there in July although with taxes and a bullshit 10% 'service charge' it comes out to 2400 baht a night. Still good deal though.

I thought the group might like to know about a deal available at the Conrad under October 23. It includes an upgrade (space available, of course) to a corner room.

Daddy San,

Its too dangerous. Hope that is clearer.

Might be a good stylish place to stay but this deal is not all it is cracked up to be.
Add ons -
Breakfast 720 THB per person
Wired Internet (Limited) 750 Baht per day
Bullshit VAT and Service Charges etc
Already hitting the 7000 THB per day bracket for 2 persons, so its a nice hotel, but not that cheap either, beware!!
Cheers, FF
