Posts: 25How do I get a view?
Hi guys,
Planning a trip next Sept (I know, a long way off). I have the worst luck with hotel rooms; I always end up next to the bins or with a view of a brick wall. Is there any way of making sure I get a room with a view / on a high floor? Agoda etc don't seem to have any way of specifying this and I know from experience hotels can be very inflexible if you try to change rooms once you're booked in. I like to pick up ladies in daylight hours; feels less frenetic in the day and they look better in natural light I think. So I'm often pissed off when the room I'm given doesn't have any! Apologies if something like this has been discussed before; couldn't find it.
Thank you!

Have deep expertise on surrounding areas but Renaissance much more convenient for malls. You can easily walk to three good malls and they are accessible on sky walks so much better than street level. Marriott is in a very local area and surrounded by small Thai shops and eating places.
Marriott is much newer and a far chicer hotel IMHO. Light, breezy and bit minamilst. Probably a younger set stay there. There is a swanky bar on the roof top so I think this brings in non-resident business. The Renaissance is more classic, darker and tad more formal. And not sure anyone goes there unless they are staying. Really I don't think you can go wrong at either. But if it was me and the issue was to impress then I would stay at JW, Marriott and Renaissance in that order but like I say I don't think the choice will make or break this!

Posts: 784BKK hotels are relatively inexpensive. IMO save your points for a more expensive destination.

Posts: 155Can someone update me on situation on Omni Towers
I have been staying in Omni Towers since the 90's. Last visit was in October'14.
I was reading in trip advisor that it is infested with cockroaches everywhere. That sounds very creepy. When I was last there a year ago, I found it below average but livable. I did not see any cockroaches. I did not see any problems with AC or robberies etc or problems with front desk!
I simply love its location and I simply love its open mindness regarding bringing in hookers. Sometimes even 3 hookers a day! No one raises a eyebrow!
Can someone advise me. What's the latest situation with this hotel?
Also, any other hotel in similar location or even a apartment? I am flexible budget wise. But I need no problems bringing in scantily clad chicas. If the hotel has a good gym (bar bell / squat rack etc). Its a plus.
Please advise.

Posts: 6304I try to use hotels.com where possible. If you sign up for their Rewards program you basically get 10% off on all bookings (1 night free after 10 nights). Some Thailand hotels discussed on here are not on hotels.com but always worth the look.
I don't believe Agoda or bookings has Reward programs. LMK if I'm wrong.

booking.com on the other hand includes all taxes.
And you know what the funny part is? Both Booking and Agoda are owned by the same group!

I can highly recommend this hotel for it being GF friendly and central to most locations. I always stay here when in BKK, great rooms, relaxed atmosphere, great location and its not expensive. Best deals to found are on agoda.
