Bangkok Hotels

Dear all,

Please refrain yourselves from booking this hotel since they have a joiner fee of 1,000 baht.

I was strongly considering them for my upcoming trip so emailed them to know about their policy for overnight guests. They clearly mentioned in the mail that, there would be a fee of 1,000 baht applicable if the guest hasn't checked in with you during your initial check-in at hotel.

It seems this hotel caters more to business and family tourists than monger tourists!

Stayed here for a night few weeks back, I got it for US $75 (some promotion was going on).

The hotel is classy and savvy, however they don't call you when the girl departs which is kind of not so good considering the girl might have poisoned you (kidding but there are other measures to count).

A bit far from the happening area but close enough for a Taxi / Tuk tuk. Don't hesitate to try since it's a high-end hotel, completely girl friendly.

N. B. - They take 1 k as security deposit, don't get surprised.

Thanks MusicalTom for your kind reply. Really appreciate it.

Zux.

Hi guys,

Was a watcher for about a month in this forum, Just got my subscription activated. I stayed at Aspira sukumvit in Soi 7/1, its a great hotel just outside BTS NANA. The rooms were amazing, It's a New hotel. I stayed at the executive room which has a balcony. There are no limit for joiners, they just have to give their ID's. Its very close to most of the action. Would definitely stay there for my next week.

Thanks.

Sure. Check your PM.

The Blu is a good choice. Before you arrive sign up for a membership with Club Carlson. Then as you are checking in ask if there are any free room upgrades available. The hotel staff are very friendly and accommodating.

The first Go Go I always hit when I am staying at the Blu is Crazy House. Its practically around the corner. I really like CH. Wish I was there right now! Ha Ha. Have a great time.

HI!

I plan to book at Adelphi but I noticed that it is located quite close to Sukhumvit main road. What about the traffic noise at night in this location?

I've stayed at Adelphi a couple times and it was nice and quiet. I was on the 9th floor. Good hotel.

Not noisy at all but I wasn't home until around 4 am each night.

Hi ViperZ.

I just booked my hotel room for Bangkok a few days ago for my August trip to Thailand. I did an extensive amount of hours of scouring, and analyzing best location to stay and when it came down to it I felt it was best to stay somewhere that is in between Soi Cowboy and Nana Plaza. I also too want to walk to the GoGo bars and not have to jump into cabs late at night. Another important criteria for me was not being too far of a walk from Sukhumvit so I can have the convenience of all the shops, restaurants, on that street. While other hotels such as the Dream Hotel, Fraser Suites, Mavenpick are halfway between Soi Cowboy and Nana they are about a half mile or slightly less from Sukhumvit which is just not convenient. The best hotels that were centrally located between the 2 main gogo areas and close to Sukhumvit (less than 300 m) for this were the following:

5 star Hotel. The Sofitel is the best of all but will set you back about $130 or more with no breakfast included. This is a true 5 star hotel.

4 star Hotels-
Adelphi Suites is where I booked as you can get a large room that is nice and modern and get a package deal with breakfast for under $80 all in per night. I booked through HotelCombined.com via Agoda. I am very happy with my decision.

Four Points Sheraton is also central and near Sukhumvit but the rooms were about $110 per night all in with no Breakfast when I checked. It was my 2nd choice.

Grand Swiss Sukhumvit 11 was my 3 Road choice and has nice rooms all in that start about $75 US dollars per night on up. The location is good but I liked the overall value of the Adelphi better.

If you don't care about being super central in the middle of Soi or Nana, of course there are more great choices like the Grande Centre Point Sukhumvit, Westin Grande Sukhumvit, Radisson Blu, Pullman, and Grande Centre Point Hotel but these are closer to Soi Cowboy. If you look at Hotels closer to Nana Plaza the JW Marriott, Conrad Hotel, and The Oriental seemed like good options. What helped me decide was pulling the hotel up on Google Maps and then zooming in or out and seeing its proximity to Nana Plaza and Soi Cowboy in addition to Sukhumvit Rd. Of course price, guest rating, and breakfast should be factored in . Good luck with your search.

Thank you all for the inputs.

I have booked the Radisson Blu in sukhumvit.

I arrive on 26th June for 7 nights.

So any one keen on a monger trip around town let me know.

Take care.

Hey G, I think you will be very happy staying at any of the hotels on your short list (above). That said, I would recommend Radisson Blu, the Westin, and Grand Centre Point T21 in that order based on most bang for you baht (room size and amenities), convenient location, and swimming pool. Again, all 5 are good choices (execpt the Pullman - I hate their swimming pool). I would also add Sofitel Sukhumvit to your list because it is a great hotel too. Bottom line, you should not have to pay more than $110 - $120 for this level of hotel quality. In fact, I often see these hotels priced around and even under $100/night, so shop around the various internet booking sites and find your best deal.

4 star Hotels-

I really enjoyed the Adelphi Suites. I did get one of the larger rooms. I went with 2 Thai girls and never did they ask me for a joiner fee. I booked for 2 people. I'd still be staying there but a bit inconvenient when Thermae is your main pick up bar. Sukhumvit Soi 8 has some very decent Thai restaurants just 100-200 metres from Adelphi.

Won't want to grab a taxi in the middle of the night or early morning for security reasons.

Please explain.

Hi guys,

This is my first time on this website and my first post.

I have just booked my flights to Bangkok and I am flying there in a few weeks. After a lot of research trying to find a guest friendly hotel in the centre of the city, I booked a suite at Admiral Premier.

I have been reading a lot about people being ripped off at this go go bars and massage parlours. Can someone please suggest me a proper / safe gogo bar? And any other suggestion is highly appreciated.

Cheers.

Hi Guys!
Am heading over there in August for some fun. Would like some recommendation of hotels that is walking distance to the agogo bars / etc. Won't want to grab a taxi in the middle of the night or early morning for security reasons.
Thanks.

TQ very much bro. Looks like my entourage will have to choose one of thespots and tuk tuk to the other. Staying in the middle doesn't make sense as further to walk to the hotel after a drunk night out.

You don't want to grab a taxi for security reasons but you will take a tuk tuk? LOL. Good luck mate.

And by the way: this thead is meant to answer your question. So read it.
