Bangkok Hotels

[Syzygies]

Hi babies. Tried the search engine unsuccesfully;.

Have booked this hotel for 15 nights, total cost 520 Euro. Cost actually not so important, location more mucho importante. Is it a ok place? Because at evenings it's obviously a gathering place for street girls. Not my target actually, I do my shit outside and sleep alone. Reviews on Expedia seems ok. More worried for the possibility of annoying hassling during entering and exits.

Thanks.

Location is good, in some ways. Many ladyboys outside as other guy mentioned. Price is very good. 15 nights is a lot. I would prefer to have a flexible booking so could change my mind at some point, move to a different location, or better Hotel, or go to Pattaya, whatever.

You might want to take girls to your room especially if you use the Thermae to get a girl. Not sure why you have ruled out that possibility. I probably would prefer to stay somewhere quieter in terms of nightlife action outside. Some of use short time Hotels when we cannot take a girl to our room, but that does not seem applicable in this case.

Always good to be flexible till you know what you like. Just my opinion.

Search engine could find Ruamchit, I am sure. OYO108 is not very meaningful.

Location? Very good. Hassle? Not so much. You are, notably, sitting right on top of Thermae. Go search YouTube.

Most of the girls on the street right outside are not girls. Although that's important to know, they do not constitute a problem.

Thank you sir!

Been in and out of Thailand for 10 years. Stayed at many hotels, Hilton, Four Seasons, Lebua, Centre Points, Banyan Tree, Hansar, Muse, Sheraton, Sukosol, St Regis and Westin.

All very comparable in service and amenities. You do however get a butler at St Regis. Italian restaurant at Muse is great and the whole theme of the hotel is great. Grand Centre points have multiple and good locations. May be the best value when considering room sizes vs total cost. Sheraton has a great pool. Hansar is nice but dull. Sukosol is a great value if you need to stay in that part of Bangkok. Lebua is over rated. The Westin is consistent. Good location, good pricing but the pool isn't the best. Hotel becomes crowded during pool party's.

Just tried two budget Hotels in Sukhumvit Soi 37. Adagio and Retro 39. Both had faults so can't recommend, even though very low priced.

Adagio faults:

Small room, no wardrobe (a pipe is there can be used to hang clothes), no phone in the room, some rooms have no window to outside. Otherwise okay Best to take the Superior room (not basic one) with window. Strange priorities, all rooms have a sofa but no wardrobe.

Retro 39 faults:

Bed very hard mattress, desk has no chair only low stool unusable, without putting a pillow on it. Otherwise good. Ha ha. But faults are serious ones. Good bathroom with walk in shower.

Adagio would be my preference due to comfortable bed, even though Retro room is bigger. Sakura Sky (Soi 33) is okay For a budget Hotel and for extreme low price, EM33 (El Majestic) is a possible. It is now in the OYO chain so book on their web site for low price.

I used to stay only 4 stars or 5 stars on special price, but tried some budget Hotels recently. One problem is budget Hotels can have noisy groups of Indians staying there. I had to ask one group to please close their door and tone it down, while I was still trying to sleep. Sound carried too well in that Hotel from neighbouring room.

One never gets perfection if stingy on the Hotel! You get what you pay for, hopefully.

I just spent three days in Luang Prabang at The Maison Dalabua, for under $150 for 3 nights. The breakfast and staff service was excellent. All organic and delicious, bicycles for use and NO rain or flooding.

Next time you go to Laos do some research, I'm really surprised that you of all people would not set your itinerary at high standards, like you profess you do for the ladies you take.

RL. Yes I know wrong forum but I just had to get a dig at Syzy. LOL.

I see its rated 4 stars which might be a wise minimum for Laos. Its also rated 9. 2 on Booking.com. Wow! That is high. If only I had been staying in Luang Prabang. Next time. Booking.com shows 2900 Baht for a single night in middle of next week .

Yes I did minimal research (like find hotels close to airport) and done in a rush without reading any forums etc. Ha ha.

Not sure what you mean by "Organic", since does not really exist in Laos and Thailand. You have no clues what insecticides and weedicides were used and if soil was contaminated by heavy metals etc. Maybe you mean a good vegetables selection. Did they have fucking good coffee and real milk? That is a great start for me. No cheap Robusta bean coffee that tastes like brewed iron filings for me. One always suspects in Laos they will try to provide the cheapest option they can find, but perhaps some Hotels can be different. If a Hotel states they use organic, I always consider that to be bullshit sales talk. Cancer rates in Thai and Laos villages are very high, I think there are reasons, and is not caused by real organic food production, I am sure. At my own farm we try to be as organic as possible, but we can easily be polluted by neighbouring farms and smoke from burning off rice fields. I will aim to measure the heavy metals in the soil and underground water soon. We have to use some chemicals to control ants and termites invading the house. Are they safe chemicals? Permethrin, RCA, etc. ? Hard to say. Ants invading the chicken house is another problem. Is the chicken and fish feed totally organic? I doubt it. Its is extremely tough to do real "organic" if no body else is doing it.

Thailand is low on banning hazardous chemicals. Asbestos still widely used here as example for insulation, brake pads etc. One would have thought these are things known to be very harmful and should be banned. A relative was an electrician in working house roofs (not in Thailand) and he succumbed to an asbestos related lung disease. Some pesticides are very dangerous, but I am not expert.

Now I am in Laos. Hotel has no hand towels, two body towels very artistically folded like swans (big deal) and a shower mat. No elevator (lift) (Only floors 1 and 2), no refrigerator (could be common to not provide in Laos), coffee packets provided and electric jug, but coffee is fucking "3 in 1 Instant" Nescafe. Can't stand sugar in my coffee. Ha ha. Fortunately the bed mattress is quite soft, softer than many Bangkok Hotels. However these days I tolerate quite firm. Sort of got semi used to it.

Will be interesting to see if breakfast has anything worth eating for a low Carbs person. Hotel just does the basics. Outside of the building looks grubby like needs a good scrub clean or paint job. They probably can't afford it.

Room and bathroom is large. Its not a top class Hotel clearly but very close to airport. Fortunately my stay is short. here is the funny part. The bathroom is so long, that the wardrobe with safe inside it, is in the bathroom. Ha ha. Yes it is a separate room with door. I suppose it is a dressing room/bathroom.

There are some high class very beautiful Hotels in Bangkok and fab apartments by the river too. I prefer to save money and spend it on girls. So always compromising about something for rooms. Main function is a nice bed to sleep in, a bathroom, aircon, reasonable desk with power points, and very important is quiet and lack of stinks. Unfortunately it gets hard to avoid odoriferous guests in the elevator. Therefore avoid Hotels in some areas.

Right on the corner of Sukhumvit and Soi 21, above the Indulge restaurant. The rooms are ok and the amenities are ok, but the breakfast deal with the Indulge Restaurant is a joke.

The breakfast deals are ala carte and there is a list of what you can order by complete meals. You get 2 cups of coffee on #1, only 1 cup of coffee on all the others, but she will give you a deal of 45 baht per cup. I tried to get her, the owner, to realize that all hotel breakfast included situations, are buffet and the coffee is free. She said her coffee is expensive and special and she is loosing money at 45 baht a cup.

I also complained about the, no juice, no cereal, no fruit situation. She's middle eastern or Armenian and refused to discuss it with me. So be it. Don't stay at this hotel, so many others that have great service and breakfast.

This is to bad as I enjoyed some of their dinner dishes. But over priced and small portions.

So what's a hotel in Laos have to do with hotels in BKK? Shouldn't that be on the Vientiane Board? And what use is it over there without the name of the Hotel?

Or do you think folks are just interested in your opinion of what a proper hotel should be?

Suppose I was basing my expectation (of hand towels) on previous visits to Citadines and Sawasadee hotels where they were provided (and at K Hotel in Phuket). Not sure how these classify in quality rankings.

Bad smells and smelly drains is very hard to take. I can't even stand the deliberate Lemon Grass fragrance in some Hotels.

I think most middle level Hotel don't provide hand towels, only two large towels for shower and a shower mat. They probably believe small hand towels is a bit pretentious. I could be wrong since I don't particularly notice such details.

Sure the more classy Hotels provide a bigger range for breakfast, and makes it more expensive. I like a big range since I don't eat typical stuff, no bread, no pastries, no cereal unless is oats, no congee (rice porridge). Omelette with salad or other veg O.K. I am on a low carbs diet which many Hotels do not provide for. The again I don't like to pay a lot extra for B/F so usually I don't even take a Hotel breakfast which would rarely be value for money. I can buy stuff for my be / F the day before and make coffee in the room.

Sounds like your minimum standard is a bit higher than a budget Hotel. So you might have to pay more sometimes. Great though if Galleria 10 is good enough for you, but not a really cheap option.

On8, nana.

During the day one can enter via the entrance on Suhkumvit which is shared with Raja tailors shop. Bit strange. There's also an entrance at the back, which is the only one during night and early morning.

I used this just for the daytime before my late flight. Strange smell in reception and corridors. Room was OK. Nice big mirror on wall and in bathroom. Again, no hand towels here. Had to request. And they brought something resembling a face flannel, about 8 inches square. Bed was comfy and pillows OK. Again, room rather dark due to 2 ceiling lights above the desk and tv being out (room 210). Good illumination around bed. Nice spacious walk-in shower. WIR? No.

Hello all,

The review is a little late but I thought it may help. I visited back in May and going again in Oct. Stayed in Hilton for 5 days. I am a gold member so they upgraded me to the honors floor which required a key in the elevator. Also, the breakfast was free. I met two girls from Thai friendly in the lobby and brought them back to my room with no issue (one of them stayed overnight and had breakfast and stayed through the afternoon and no one checked her ID or anything) and also met a girl from smoochi who came directly to the room.

Nice clean hotel and good location with plenty of massage places nearby. Also, the Doubletree is right behind and could be accessed from the back of the Hilton.
