The Dawin Hotel (same group of hotels) ask for my credit card number to hold the room and protect against a no show. To get around this and to protect my CC, I just change the last few digits of my card and email it through. Its worked everytime and my reservation is honoured. I guess they dont 'run' the number to see if its valid until its time to charge against it.

Especially in presence of attracting rates or promotions

Posts: 257I think it all started when they got the new computer service for making reservations. I used it one time and found it difficult to maneuver through. It seemed to get lost part way to the end. I sent them an email saying the new system was messing with me. I would be there on a certain date, please give me the special rate. They took care of me, no problem and no need to use the computer to register.

Posts: 6Crowne Plaza Hotel
Does anyone know if the Crowne Plaza Hotel is girl friendly or not? I'm getting a supersweet deal there on rates and it is hard to turn down.
Also, does anyone have any suggestions on good ST places close by Soi Cowboy or Nana Plaza that I should look into?
I'm going to be landing in BKK on Jan 27th and am trying to get a game plan set up so that I can actually do some site seeing while I'm there. Go figure.

Posts: 20Baiyoke Sky Hotel
Hello,
Can somebody tell me what kind of action, if any, is near the Sky Hotel? And then how far (or inconvenient) it is from Soi or Nana?

Posts: 13Dynasty Grande reservation policies
I've stayed several times at the Dynasty Grande in the past and really liked the place, but when I recently tried to make an reservation on their website it wanted me to pay in full in advance. Has anyone stayed there recently and can comment on this change?

Posts: 1807Any recommendation for an upscale, serviced apartment in the Silom area that's GF? If I can't find anything, I'll probably pick from Lebua, Shangrila and Mandarin Oriental. I've read that Lebua and Shangrila are GF and Mandarin Oriental is not. Is this still true?
Thanks.
Tiny

and yes that is a very generous way to describe those rooms, 'on the ground floor' indeed. you can tell that the guy who did the site is a true friend. yes, and for your convenience there are some taxis parked right in front of your room. i noticed one person (here?) said not to take their taxis. but i did take one once to the airport. after the typical niceties (the 500 baht offer by him, the sly grin by me) i was able to get him down to a reasonable 300 baht at 4am or so. but if not, can just go out to the street just outside the hotel and flag a meter taxi down as it passes, just a few steps away. which the drivers there realize, so unless they know some ripe target is heading to the airport in the next hour or so, they realize you're going to walk those few extra steps, and so it's a choice between your reasonable fare or a longer nap.
so the rooms: cheap garage ones outside: not very nice. they're ok i guess once you're inside, but mainly they're kind of embarrassing. the ones you describe as 1000 baht are upstairs on the inside side. those are ok except that they have pretty heavy-duty smoking stink in them, and feel older and more worn down than their counterparts across the hall, which are listed at 1350 baht. i once stayed in one of the nicer 3000 (?) baht rooms and they were definitely a good step up, lots more space, included sitting area if i remember right. but for that price you can be in an actual nice hotel, with a swimming pool that's bigger than my room.
but the location is quite good. just a tad away from the noise and crowds, but still very close. like 3 minutes walking to cowboy, maybe 2 min to thermae. it's kind of nice as you head back to your hotel at the end of the night to get one last peek in at thermae or the ones eating on the street. (tho it is annoying as hell having to walk thru that gauntlet of shirt-sellers earlier in the night in order to get anywhere in the lower sois than 19.) but even if you're at nana and want to head back, you cross suk and jump in a cab and it's about 2 minutes up the road for as cheap a taxi fare as you can get.
but if i had something comparable closer to nana, i might go for that instead. every time i get to bkk, i'm too busy with other things to go checking out rooms in other hotels to compare. maybe this time. i keep getting suggestions for ones that are further out than soi 19, across asok and on the even side. i don't like crossing the overpass catwalks late at night (or day either really) , and i'm not that into cowboy, so i like to stay on the odd-number side of suk so the final taxi ride is quick and simple.
others i've seen / stayed at in the same price range (miami, golden palace) look way rougher in comparison. wouldn't stay in one of those again.
thanks for the info

Posts: 22Thanks man I appreciate it! A joiner fee means that I have to pay the front desk 500B to let the girl come to my room? Wow. That'd be a really awkward transaction LOL. What's the difference between an outcall escort and an outcall massage girl? Do they provide the same level of service?

By the way, "on the ground floor" was Honey Hotel Reservation Officer's own term for the location of the cheapest rooms. I found an old email from this person mentioning the various rooms and rates:
