Bangkok Hotels

When you check in you will be given a form which on the bottom says 'Unregistered guests are not allowed to the guest room'. Fortunately that is just there for show, do not fret as the staff don't bat an eyelid as your unregistered guest of the night drops their ID card off at reception.

When your guests drop their ID card they are most likely being registered as well by the reception. Many hotels keep a list with the names of the guests and the rooms they are visiting, and they have to sign it when they are leaving and getting back their ID.

Saw this hostel offering good rates in Agoda. Has anybody who stayed here before can confirm if it's girl friendly?

[Syzygies]

Ditto. Keep an eye out where, Syzgies?

I thought I wrote already that I booked on booking.com but too lazy to check now. In the end the Apartment in Sathorn was excellent at 1500 but local places selling food were not too good, for the types of food I prefer. Note that apartments don't have room cleaning each day, typically, so your towel supply maybe inadequate, depending how many girls (I had a threesome first night). LOL

Later was in a very well priced Hotel at 1200, but when I came to extend, price had gone to over 3000 due to a tour group coming in, and booked out the following day. Hate that so moved.

That is down side with very good value for money Hotels. Tour groups become aware that they can get good rooms for low price and can virtually book out the place.

Years ago I liked Admiral premier until it became popularly booked by group tours. You definitely don't want to be at a Hotel breakfast when a Chinese tour group is in the Hotel. The standard of manners in their culture is just not compatible with the rest of the world. Being on a boat to Islands with a Chinese tour group was equally appalling.

Some things to consider:

- Smokers beware there is no balcony and if you want to light up you have to go downstairs every time. They didn't care about my vape in the room which I obviously was using inside (don't take those outside by the way or risk getting a 'fine' by some corrupt BiB members).

- Transparent bathroom / toilet wall. Why? Particularly awkward if you are NOT with a (temporary) girlfriend.

- WiFi wasn't the best I had, in particular the corner of the upper floor. Was a bit better during my second stay on third floor.

- You can register for their membership for free and get a discount when you book directly with them and when you book five days get one day free.

I love the night shift security guy who opens the door and gets the elevator for you like it is a five star hotel, with a big smile on his face. If he aint snoring loudly on his chair that is.

Please leave a room for me in December.

Yes I can confirm I had no problem with my young Cowboy girl (non smoker). I do try to get other places with balcony when my Gik comes as she smokes.

It amazes me that rather few bar girls smoke these days in my experience. 20 years ago they all smoked (almost all). That is one change for the better.

I was not fussed by transparent bathroom. If some one needs to shower when there is a guest in the room, surely that implies that sex is likely to take place. LOL.

Did not notice traffic noise so I guess I must have been on a high floor. I don't recall the wifi. I usually have 4 G on my phone so can use my phone's internet when Hotel is not the best. Not great though if you need to watch porn videos. LOL.

Not sure on your exact dates but some dates I checked for you in December were already booked. Book it now there is free cancellation for roughly the same price.

Unusual specials?

Sounds a good deal. Where to look for unusual specials?

Thanks.

Ditto. Keep an eye out where, Syzgies?

Stayed at the above hotels in my last trip in May, all were girl-friendly.

I considered Holiday Inn Sukhumvit 22 a 3-star hotel, with not much service and food was so-so, was offered breakfast at a promotional price. Accessing the hotel pool is a hassle because I had to get through the restaurant on the 8th floor first. But the location is top-notched, within walking distance to all the actions, including Nana, oily and nuru massage parlors.

I was hesitated about Park Hyatt because of its high-end status which might not be girl-friendly, but I was wrong. Booked an escort via Smooci and the hotel had no problem with that. The infinity pool on the 10th floor provided attentive service including ice-cold bottled water and iced towel. Food was much better here.

When I come back to BKK next year, I would like to stay in the Marriott Executive Apartments Thonglor, heard the pool was nice there.

Apples and Oranges? Isn't Park Hyatt pricing roughly 3x that of the Holiday Inn?

Studio Asoke has been mentioned here before (and that's how I found it) and I can only recommend it. I also noticed Syzygies post from 27 August that Studio Asoke was booked out then. Sorry I took the last room there then it seems:

It is indeed a brand new hotel with good prices on a very good location near Cowboy and MRT / BTS. Very comfortable and large bed, new TV a good bunch of movie and foreign channels (and of course a Plethora of Thai channels so you can be forced to watch a quality Thai soap with your newly acquired muse of the night).

Do get one of the upper two floors though, otherwise you might hear a lot of the unrelentless Bangkok traffic. It is right on Asoke Montri road so very heavy traffic.

When you check in you will be given a form which on the bottom says 'Unregistered guests are not allowed to the guest room'. Fortunately that is just there for show, do not fret as the staff don't bat an eyelid as your unregistered guest of the night drops their ID card off at reception.

1480 maybe a very good price actually, rather than too much, if there no specific faults, just not modern enough. Probably the regular price (closer to 3 K) is too much. Needs "overhaul" is a little vague. Old furniture with marks is quite acceptable for many.

I don't mind old furniture with marks on it.

The things I do mind is the state of the bathroom. I did not mention that in my first post.

Cracked tiles, bad smell etc.

The Westin is way above my normal price range.

But this trip I wanted to treat myself to both nice ladies and a nice hotel.

Normally I would never pay more than 2000 baht per night, ever.

[Syzygies]

I don't believe there is any direct way through, however rather than head to Sukhumvit head to Narz club and can get through to the east west soi via the car park. .... I think it will be marginally shorter but not by much

Think you can cut thru NARZ carpark rather than go to Sukhumvit. Not sure it saves you that much though.

FK.

Did you see my reply post to BB. You seem to almost quote me, although used a few less words. LOL.

[Syzygies]

The price for my "superior " room is 1480 baht per night as some kind of weekend price. But it's to much to pay for this kind of room.
I was due to stay here 15 nights, but no, that will not happen. First thing tomorrow morning I am checking out and going to the Westin Sukhumvit instead.

Chears!

Needs "overhaul" is a little vague. Old furniture with marks is quite acceptable for many. I currently have a large room (suite) with kitchen, large fridge, balcony, everything really good except hotel room is oldish (old furniture and timber work). No complaints. Price about 1200 (special) so I can't complain at all. Previously was in a really superb apartment for 1500 (if was Hotel would be 3 K+) but it wasn't close to good food options. Local Thais eat a lot of crap food.

For super standard rooms, normally have to pay a lot more.

Today I move to another bargain place. Good modern rooms at 1 k+. I save money for mongering by using cheaper Hotels when I am staying alone. Hence never stayed in the Western LOL. I have stayed in Column (superb) when on special. One of my favourites.

Generally I am a lot more fussy about quality and appearance of girls, compared to Hotel rooms. However I love a room with good sized fridge. Functionality is what matters. Don't need artistic rooms.

Has anyone stayed at Tints of Blue? Looks decent. My main question is can I cut through to Soi Cowboy or do I need to walk all the way to Sukhumvit then back up to Soi Cowboy?

Think you can cut thru NARZ carpark rather than go to Sukhumvit. Not sure it saves you that much though.

FK.

[SexIsLove]

The Westin on Sukhumvit is absolutely girl friendly without any ID check and also when bringing in two girls never got questioned.

Same with the Sofitel Sukhumvit and Pullman Grande on Asoke. No ID check and taken two girls at the same time with no issues.

[J A Karl]

As I mentioned a couple of days ago I have now been staying a few nights at St James on Soi26.

First time for me here, probably also the last.

Entrance and reception area are very nice and clean but the rooms needs an overhaul big time.

The price for my "superior " room is 1480 baht per night as some kind of weekend price. But it's to much to pay for this kind of room.

The staff is friendly, the breakfast is OK, A/C is working and it is definitely a girl friendly hotel. I took 2 girls here yesterday and they only had to show their ID at the reception, even got an extra towel since I booked the room for 2 people, not 3.

I was due to stay here 15 nights, but no, that will not happen. First thing tomorrow morning I am checking out and going to the Westin Sukhumvit instead.

Chears!

[Lakeside]

Are there any hotels that allow you to walk in with two girls without having to stop for an ID check? More specifically any that allow more than one girl up to your room at one time?
