Bangkok Hotels

Lifts: Column kicks the living shit out of Continent in this category and it's not because they have some great lifts or anything. Continent has the dumbest fucking lifts of any hotel outside the former Soviet block. If you stay on any floor above stair hiking distance, be prepared to wait 10 minutes to get a lift up or down. I'm staying on floor 12. I hit down, there's one lift on 15 and another at the Lobby. The one on 15 goes up to the top floor (and takes its fucking time), the one at the lobby starts up. Passes my floor and goes on up to 25 or so (and takes its fucking time). The first one starts back down and stops at every other floor on the way. The second one stays at 25. First one gets to my floor and is absolutely jam packed. It keeps going down, stopping at every level until the lobby. Once it makes it to the lobby, the one on 25 starts back down and winds up on my floor. I'm expecting it to be fully packed as well, but nope. Not a soul on it.

If I hadn't experienced the Continent elevators personally, I wouldn't believe what you wrote. After getting on the elevator in the lobby and starting up, it might take 10 minutes to get to the 25th floor. Many ups and downs before finally arriving at your destination. Those elevators are enough reason for me to never go there again. I must admit that the restaurant was very good.

I agree Landmark also good locations and also never had issue when staying there either. Also a lot is how the girl looks too. If you walk in with the School Girl they may question. LOL.

Questions like 'Where did you find her? And 'how much do you have to pay her?' LOL.

Over the last two weeks I have stayed at both Continent (right next to Soi Cowboy) and Column (up soi 16 about 500 meters or so).

My normal go to is Column as I have stayed there on every trip over the last seven years whenever I make it back to BKK. This time they were booked up for my last two days so I figured based on some of the feedback from here I would give Continent a chance.

Location: Continent is pretty much right next door to Soi Cowboy. Column as mentioned before is about 500 meters up soi 16, but from about 0600 to midnight you can cut through the Tower Exchange building and be in the Asok BTS or MRT station in about 5-10 minutes on foot. Column is also right next to Foodland where a lot of the Thai girls love to chow down or you can stock up on beverages / snacks 24 hours. The restaurant in Foodland has great Thai food, not that finding good grub is any kind of challenge around here.

Girl friendliness: No problem at either one. But to be honest, I've never had a problem at any BKK hotel. I didn't even know it was an issue until I saw so many people in here worried about it. Like a previous poster said, grab a girl. Go back to your hotel and just walk in like a boss and there is not going to be a problem. If anyone starts to say anything just act like you don't speak whatever language they are speaking. I guess the slow ass lifts at Continent could foil this plan as reception would have enough time to arrange a work visa and red eye flight for a translator to fly in from whatever country you pretend to be from before the god damn lift makes it down to the lobby. I've brought back girls of all races from damn near every continent to Column and reception never says a word. Call in an escort and Column's reception will give you a ring and send her on up the lift once you give permission.

Noise: No contest, Column wins this one. While I was staying on the 12th floor of Continent the noise was damn near unbearable. Get you some earplugs if you stay anywhere under probably the 20th floor. Column being down soi 16 doesn't have this issue at all. The only time I got woken up in the night / early morning was on Christmas day when some venue around Asok BTS decided to have an impromptu fireworks show. Fuck that shit at 0600 in the morning. I can only imagine how loud it would have been in Continent since it is even closer to the scene of the crime.

Rooms: Continent is your typical 28 m2 room, decked out pretty swanky for $225 / night. This might be because we're in between Christmas and New Years and could be cheaper during normal times, but it's pretty good deal for the price. Column has humongous 80 m2 suites for almost half the price. Their rooms are a bit worn out and showing their age, but holy shit for $150 who gives a shit if the desk has a few knicks in it? Because they are suites, Column has a big living room with kitchen area, washer / dryer, microwave, you fucking name it along with a decent size separate bedroom. Think serviced apartment.

Beds: Continent wins this category based on this particular trip, but the bed I had in my Column room this go around was fine. I've had some in years past that were hard as the fucking floor though. The bed in the Continent room was more comfortable than the one I have at home.

Bathrooms: Column wins this one due to huge size (walk-in shower + a separate tub and plenty of space in between). The bathroom sink in Continent is stupid as fuck with the faucet situated on the side and as soon as you turn the water on, water is splashing all over the counter top.

However. Continent has the best God damn shower of any hotel I've probably stayed in anywhere in the world. How many times do you get in a nice / decent hotel and go to take a shower and it takes 20 minutes for the fucking water to warm up and it dribbles out like an octogenarian's cum shot? Not this place. Water is perfect temperature right from the start and you better be careful with the shower head setting else it will take a layer of skin off your body because of the pressure. I fucking love this shower. Another thing I wish I could take back home with me. Oh and the remote activated shower blind that opens via a switch at the bed side table is a nice feature when you have a slapper in the shower.

Continent has the dumbest fucking lifts of any hotel outside the former Soviet block. If you stay on any floor above stair hiking distance, be prepared to wait 10 minutes to get a lift up or down.

Once it makes it to the lobby, the one on 25 starts back down and winds up on my floor. I'm expecting it to be fully packed as well, but nope. Not a soul on it.

Fitness facilities: Probably not a big deal to 99% of the posters here, but some of us are getting up there in age and need to burn a few extra calories due to the extra intake during a trip to BKK. Neither one has anything spectacular in this regard, but Column is quite a bit better. Continent's fitness room is very small and unless you're a very early riser it's going to be full most of the time. Column's fitness room is pretty spacious but like the rooms the equipment is old and a bit worse for the wear. Still, you could get some work in without bumping into anyone and most of the time I never saw another soul in there.

Restaurants / bars: Never been in a hotel restaurant or bar in all my trips to BKK. Why bother?

Overall: If both hotels have vacancies, I'm picking Column every time just because of the price to size of the room ratio. I love me some big ass rooms if I'm staying somewhere for a week or more and the girls seem to think they are cool too. But if Column is booked up again and I only need to spend a night or two somewhere else then I would stay in Continent again. Nothing against it, just Column is much more to my liking.

I stay at the Landmark, a 5 min walk from Plaza Nana & Nana BTS. Never had a problem bringing girls back (even when I bring 2 girls at a time) or having girls visit for incall.

Usually book a large room, the premium corner room is 40 SQM.

I agree Landmark also good locations and also never had issue when staying there either. Also a lot is how the girl looks too. If you walk in with the School Girl they may question. LOL.

Thanks for the tip. This seems to be the blend I'm looking for and it's a reasonable price and good location. Plan to reserve for two but is there anything else I should be aware of when returning with guests. I saw the requesting the written policy. Plan to get a LT from NaNa by the second or third day. Thanks again.

I just walk straight to the elevators like I own the place. Never an issue and when I come to breakfast I just say for two if the girl is still with me.

The Double Tree on Suk Soi 2 is my favorite when planning time at Nana. Not very expensive, girl friendly (book for 2 same price) great location and 5 minute walk to Nana. Also a good breakfast buffet, I only eat breakfast and dinner so a good morning buffet works for me. Also the Ploenchit Bts is very close to get to other points as well.

Stayed at this hotel for 3 nights. Good Location and Prices. 35 USD / night.

Breakfast is terrible. Completely girl friendly, had no issues in bringing girls in.

I was at the tower where there was no reception nor any key card access, so it all went super smooth.

Cheers.

Appreciate the feedback I've seen, the following seems to be all within the range that I want. Fraser, Aloft, Night, and Continent. Looking for a decent space that I can sleep, wash and have fun in. Out of the four, which is the easiest to walk too nana and the soapy places. I prefer to walk but open to actual experiences.

I was actually planning to get an Airbnb but has anyone tried and not gone the hotel route? With the guest policy, do I need to pay extra for that as well? Just don't want to book and then have issues with returning guests. Is there a library for some of these acronyms? LOL. I see LT etc. Thank you for putting up with a rookie. If you're in town when I am, I'll definitely spot you a drink.

The Continent is super nice but long walk to Nana. Just around the corner from Cowboy but I preferred Nana.

Sheraton is super nice. But maybe 20 minutes to Nana walking. Not ideal.

Adelphi Suites is clean and comfy and only 10 minutes to Nana. Not as fancy as the others but perfectly adequate and very well located. Pretty much ideal.

U will need to cab to the nice soapies. Not walkable.

P.S. PM me info on So Cal!

There's an Abbreviations link at the top of every page of this website that is very comprehensive.

Hi guys,

Do you have experience taking back to the hotel 2 girls or a girl and a ladyboy? For ST with thaifriendly.

Do I need to book a room for three? Or it doesn't really matter especially for ST.

I found a good room for 3 in Four Points by Sheraton Bangkok. Any experience with this hotel? Is it girl friendly?

Would an apartment be better?

And I can recommend Dynasty Grande Hotel! Great service and friendly, but no room for 3.

Just one note, they strictly ask for ID of the guest.

Thanks.

I do this quite a bit in Pattaya at the Hard Rock or Hilton where I book a room for 3 and tell them I am bringing 2 guests back when I check in. Places like Fraser Suites would have no issue, just check with them 1st or try one of the hotels recommended here in the last few pages where one can get ladies in via the back entrance or lobby where they do NOT have to pass security. Guys have made those recommendations here on pages 1 and 2.

Any new hotel I go to I email about joiner policy and get it in writing. SOP.

If you're worried about image tell them you have some Thia nieces who may drop by.

NI.
