Bangkok Hotels

[Member #2041]

There are Hotels very tall with great views. Not sure that any will be in your price range unless they have a special on. You would have to request a higher floor with view perhaps.

Example Hotels very tall in the area: Landmark, Westin, Column, Sheraton, Centrepoint Terminal 21, etc. Baiyoke Sky Tower is likely to be the cheapest with incredible views but is not in the area. Its in Pratuu Naam. Not sure if it's 100% GF. I have been impressed by the views from Column Hotel and stayed there, but you may find the price is a little high. Highly recommended. Bar and pool and restaurant on the very top is very good.

Centara Grand at Central World on quite in the area and also more expensive.

So I think your requirements may be incompatible. Perhaps Omni Tower is cheap, but I don't know how good its views are. One would expect the higher floor rooms may be more expensive.

Bad Duck, your price range is going to be a problem for anything really tall. Royal Orchid Sheraton has great views, but I think you won't get it for less than 3500 baht. I used to stay there with Starwood points back when it was an SPG Cat-2, but those days are long gone.

Weird as this may sound, I'm hoping someone can help me find a GF hotel in BKK which comes with a view of the city.

I really want to wake up and take in the sights, and / or have a light and look at the skyline.

I prefer staying in the mongering town but its not a limitation. I don't mind walking 15 to 20 minutes to get to Soi Cowboy or Nana.

Budget is somewhere around 2000 b to 2500 b a night.

Help?

The Marriott Thonglor Executive Apartment Hotel is girlfriendly. I have stayed there a couple times and I like it. ..........

You describe the hotel well. To the other gentleman, with the highest status you will get concierge room privileges. The food is more than decent and I think there is free wine and beer at night. The only problem is getting back out to check out a restaurant and hit a bar, after the food and drinks.

The Marriott Thonglor Executive Apartment Hotel is girlfriendly. I have stayed there a couple times and I like it. Actually this Marriott property is two hotels (Marriott Thonglor Exec Apartments & Marriott Hotel Thonglor) in one building, with one lobby, one pool, one exercise room, several restaruants, but different elevators separating the exec apatments from the regular hotel rooms and two different booking sytems. The lower floors are where the Executive 1 bedrrom and 2 bedroom apartments are located. These suites have a separate living room and kitchen which I like a lot. The higher floors are where the regular Marriott hotel rooms are located.

I have a booking coming up shortly for a 1 bedroom Exec apartment. My rate is 2880 bt/night which I consider a very good deal. The Hotel's buffet breakfast is bountiful and very tasty, but is extra although the last time I stayed there they did not charge me for half of my breakfasts. Marriott does not accept points or vouchers in lieu of payment for their Exec Apartment Hotel rooms and these suites earn less reward point multiples when using the Marriott CC compared to the rooms in the Marriott Hotel Thonglor which are treated like any other Marriott Hotel rooms elsewhere in terms of vouchers and reward points. It should be noted that the Marriott Hotel Thonglor is not a JW Hotel and is considered a step down in class from a flagship JW Marriott property.

This hotel has a really nice, open air, roof top bar and restaurant called Octave Rooftop Bar And Lounge. I have never seen any FL's here, but it is a very pleasant place to bring a girl at night and have a couple drinks. I have invited Mini and her BFF here a couple of times and the girls enjoyed the ambiance a lot and so did I. The pool is pretty nice as well.

I have stayed at this hotel before and it is really nice. As I have status with Marriott, I tend to get treated well. Last time I was there, I was with a traveling companion, so we just checked in together. I have noticed that the Marriott on Soi 4 is now guest friendly. That was not true back in the day. I was wondering if anyone knows if the Soi 57 location in Thonglor is also guest friendly. Not the biggest deal in the world, as I am only staying two nights before heading down to Jomtien, but it would be good to know.

Assuming you are referring to the J. W. Marriott as the Marriott on Soi 4, I always thought it was guest friendly. I only stayed there once, about ten years ago, but did not have any trouble bringing a girl back to the room then. I don't know about the Marriott on Soi 57, however. I am interested because with the Marriott / SPG merger I now have top status with Marriott. Do they have a lounge (perhaps unlikely given they are "executive apartments"), and when you state you were treated well there owing to your status, could you be a bit more specific about what that entailed (e. G, room upgrade, etc.)?

Planning to stay in Ambassador hotel for 2 nights.

Main reason for picking this hotel is the climax club.

I am landing around 2 AM. Are girls still around at 3-4 AM in the morning.

Booked the Ambassador for six nights last May; stayed one night and left. It's shit-hole! AC only blew room temp air and couldn't be lowered, there was no TP in the bathroom and the bathroom was full of mold. And that was an "upgraded" room on the 21st floor. Went on Hotels.com and switched to the Dynasty Grande, which was a good move, 100% better hotel.

Head down the passageway to Soi 11. There is one passage that is almost all massage shops. They will be open at that time. There will also be plenty of FLs on Soi 11.

Would definitely stay away from the Ambassador as it is run down. There are tons of hotels near Climax and there are many on Soi 11 itself. I love Soi 11. I've been thinking about The Grand Swiss for my next visit but I'll check out reviews before I book. The President Palace is being rebranded to a Mercure. I believe the hotel is still closed for renovations.

Wise decision. Ambassador is a bad choice. Grand Swiss is really good. I have stayed there several times. Just five minutes walk from Climax and two minutes fro Nana BTS.

[Allover]

Totally agree with Manfield. Ambassador is old and run down. If Climax is your thing (and this is coming from a card carrying fan of Climax), then I'd recommend one of the following:

- Aloft.

- Grand Swiss.

- Fraser Suites Sukhumvit.

You could even do the President Palace (better than Ambassador), or Citadines.

All of these are within 5 minutes walk of Climax. Fraser and Grand Swiss are the furthest, but Fraser in particular is very nice, and well worth the extra few minutes walking. I find that walk to be very positive. It helps build chemistry between you and the girl, and when she gets into the hotel she is ready to rock and roll. Only downside to Fraser is the distance to the BTS, but I usually jump on a motocy for 15 baht.

Ambassador Hotel is a little worn out. If you are looking for FLs near Nana Plaza, then I would suggest Phachara Suites or Dynasty Grande as I believe they are better hotels in that area.

Da Bed is in same Soi as Di Place. Di Place is a higher standard Hotel overall but this does not really apply to the very small short time rooms. I have not tried Da Bed.

It is well known that Nana Plaza has really shitty short time rooms inside. I do not use any more.

In Soi 7/1 there is Atlas with rooms of varying standard from good to excellent (refurbished). At cowboy there is Penny Black and Asoke Place. I prefer Asoke Place (cheaper), if you don't mind seeing most of the Asian customers with ladyboys on their arm. There may well be more ladyboys going in there than real women.

In Soi 33 there is Peep Inn. And in Sukumvit Soi 1/1 (officially) is PB Hotel (back Soi off Soi 3).

Some Hotels could be got quite cheap for whole night, e. G. Royal Express Soi 8 for 540 Baht, seen recently. Di Place, Atlas, and Ruamchit all have rooms for the whole night around the 1000 Baht mark I believe, however Atlas ST rooms are better than Di Place ST rooms.

Miami has rooms of varying prices depending what is available but not really recommended. Too old and run down.

Ruamchit Plaza may have ST rooms for 600 Baht (at times when available), however I would prefer to pay 350 at Atlas, not very far to walk from Thermae.

Near Pat Pong, I recommend The Strand for use ST Only. It's too noisy there to stay the night. There are some very cheap LT options in Sathorn district.

Most ST Hotels will have a special price if you want to stay a bit longer than the normal ST. Some ST Hotels are only giving you 60 mins. Another price for 2 hours, but have to weigh that against whole night prices nearby. I have requested 90 mins at Di Place but can't recall the price increase.

I have been taking a girl regularly for long bookings or sometimes overnight so have been using a very cheap normal Hotel for mongering convenience.

I slightly prefer ST rooms that have a window. At Atlas, can look out to the Sordid Soi Eden. LOL Other requirements are basic. Clean comfortable bed, aircon works and controllable, no stench, shower works.

Wow just wow. How do we flag things up as reports of distinction in this thread?
