There are no fixed rules. Some hotels require all to be registered, some take the ID card and give it back when she leaves, some make a copy of her ID only, and some allow everyone in without any...

I stayed many times in Citadines 23 close to Soi Cowboy. No problem to bring a guest. Of course I always booked a room for 2 persons.

The ladies at the Hotel Reception will make a copy of your...

Have a look at one of the hotel-websites such as booking.com. They have a search filter where you can tick area and price.

Good to know. Although I never had a cabbie in Bangkok try to scam me. Of course some try to agree on a fixed price for the ride. I just smile and ask for a metered ride. They all relent and I always...

What's so especially good with these "Al Thai" taxis? Do they pay you a commission? (wink wink).

Hehe, no doubt the girls at recepton tipped her off that you paid by using your platinum credit card.

Yes indeed Citadines has hard mattresses and that is one of the reasons I like it. Hard matresses give me better "traction", if you get my drift. (wink wink).

I find the reception staff lovely and...

Yes, there are big differences in prices for the same room, depending on how you book it.

I usually check http://www.booking.com. Their quotes are "all inclusive" and you don't have to pay...

And where may you be hailing from? If you fly from Europe, it seems quite expensive.

I'm in no hurry. It is up to the reader to do what he wants with this advice.

As I don't experience a walk of shame, I cannot give directly relevant info, so I give "second best" advice.

Most (big) business hotels take care never to put people who check in at the same time in rooms close to each other. Usually you are even on different floors. Chances your colleagues catch you in the...

That's exactly what we are trying to do. By exposing how this "walk of shame" is all in their heads only, we liberate their minds and improve their experience.

Isn't that what Buddhism is all...

There are really no limits for people to make their life complicated for no reason.

Absolutely!

That reminds me of a stay in Singapore in a very modern business hotel which has a busy restaurant at the ground floor so the lobby is very lively with restaurant clients and business...

Last time I stayed at Citadines 23 on Sukhumvit Soi 23 they gave me a "smoker's room", although I booked a non-smoking room. Absolutely horrible, but they changed it at my GF's request and even...

I still remember 25 years ago when I first visited New York the guide book said not to stand on a corner and look at your (paper) map as that was just an invitation for shady characters to come out...

There are similar services in Germany (FKK tours) and they even advertise here on ISG. I'm sure those are legit businesses but I cannot imagine why you would need someone to hold your hand to bring...

Difficult to say whether it is a scam, but:

* The photos of the girls on that page are stolen from other sites.

* The service offered is really very very expensive.

* "Fantastic Villa...

The hotel is hidden away in the first small soi, parallel to Sukhumvit Road and South-west of the Asoke crossroads (so diagonally across the crossroad from Soi Cowboy).

Yes, I agree that is a nice hotel and totally GF. Conveniently close to Soi Cowboy and only one stop away on the sky-train from Nana. But nicely tucked away in a small soi and other than the discrete...

I think they use a mixture of all those types.

Way better to buy one in Thailand after you have checked what type is actually used in the room.

Check out the Citadines serviced apartments in Bangkok. I have been to Citadines in Soi 23 which is very close to Soi Cowboy and I found it good value. Citadines 23 has a small pool on the roof and a...

Yes, I find those "encounters" very funny. A few years ago I was in Singapore and took a cute Vietnamese spinner from Orchard Towers "Ipanema" bar back to my business hotel. When I took the elevator...

"Walk of shame"? You're too funny!

I call it the walk of pride.

Given that those aggregators (Expedia and such) or websites such as Agoda or Booking charge the hotel up to 20% commission fee, I can understand why the hotel doesn't want to upgrade you and rather...
