Bangkok Hotels

[Roger Sideways]

I am staying at the Grand Sukhumvit (managed by ACCOR) for a short stopover in BKK next month. I have seen varying reports about how whether the hotel is girl friendly and even mention a few years ago of a joiner fee. Anyone got any recent experience at this hotel?

Having been to Pattaya for the past 6 years, my experience with Middle Easterner's is that they look for the cheapest room and see how many they can fit in a single bed. Maybe the female abortion thing is in said countries is creating a climate of man on man stuff. Just my HO, LOL.

You might have picked the wrong ethnicity.

Thanks Nixon. I did find out both are GF. I have narrowed the hotels down to Four Points Sheraton or Grand Majestic (on Soi 2). If anyone is familiar with both of them, I would appreciate your advice!

Being a regular Customer at majestic grande I can only recommend it. It is right in The scene, GF friendly and take care of guests in that aspect, a breakfast that fits any diet, spacious rooms.

Has anyone stayed at the Four Points Sheraton (on Soi 15) or Aloft (Soi 11)? Are they both girl-friendly? And how about the location. Convenient to hotels and bars? And finally, how bad is the walk of shame in these hotels? Meaning, are they occupied by mostly families? Thank you for any info you can provide.

And how about the location.

For me soi11 is a great soi, you can walk to Nana Plaza or soi Cowboy. BTS Station is just outside the soi on Sukhumvit road. You have everythings you need: Bars, disco, restaurant, massage, BJ bar, go-go, freelancers, ecc.

Man, that is BS. Using your logic, since men don't generally share a room or a bed in the US or Australia, for example, there should be less man on man stuff, as you refer to it?

Any inference, based on your kind of logic, would have to also be consistent with the facts / data on a worldwide basis.

Anyway, I call BS on your thinking. And FYI I have nothing against gays (many of them are great and highly talented) but I am and always will be 100 straight, since I don't have the predisposition hard coded in me biologically. So, my comments are just about the facts, data and logic.

I dropped into the foyer of the Ambassador some 3 weeks ago around late morning in order to check out some rooms to consider for my next trip and it was filled with middle eastern gentlemen and women as well as lots of small kids running around.

I never stayed or bothered to check a room.

This may not be of concern to you Nix but it's a heads-up just in case it is.

Ambassador is a worn out hotel and badly in need of a revamp. If soi11 is where you want to stay then you can try Grand Swiss. Nice comfortable and spacious rooms, totally girl friendly, helpfull staff and a good breakfast. The only negative is that the pool is small.

Thanks for all the advice. Just noted that my booking at the Ambassador is non-refundable. I do have to say that the majority of reviews on the Ambassador on Agoda are from UK, European and US travelers. I will make the best of it.

Booked her with a Superior room in the Tower wing. Anyone been here? I read the Climax bar in the hotel has a good selection of freelancers? I chose it because it appears to have large rooms and had one of the larger pool areas for daytime leisure. I still have time, if I were persuaded otherwise.

Cheers.

If you want stay in soi11, you could look for Salil Hotel. Is very GF, you can bring 2 girls for 3 some without any extra fee.

Ambassador Hotel is a toilet. Find somewhere else.

Great location but the hotel has been in need of a renovation for a long time. If it has been upgraded recently then it would be ok. I would stay at Grand President on the same soi about 300 meters away. Grand Prez rooms should be nicer than Ambassador. Aloft, also on Soi 11, would be even nicer but pricier. Soi 11 is a great place to stay.
