Bangkok Hotels

[Combo]

Does anyone know what Hotel the Wotif Mystery deal for 2800 Baht in Sukhumvit is? I'm assuming the 2800 Mystery deal in Chidlom & Ploenchit is for the Renaissance. I haven't gotten this Wotif thing down yet!

Thanks

If not i may stick to the Manhattan and pay for wi-fi.

If it boils down to that, i would suggest Ruamchitt Plaza next door. Better rooms an free wi-fi at same price. And totally GF.

But GF is very imp. Thinking of spending a bit more and maybe staying at the Kingston suites. Do you guys recommend that?i read it was 100%GF with free wi-fi

If not i may stick to the Manhattan and pay for wi-fi.

Kingston is 100% GF. Good wifi in rooms and two free Internet terminals (laptops) in the lobby.

Another Wotif secret cancellation, and it is another favorite: Hotel Solo, Sukhumvit 2 Bangkok.

As high season approaches, more secrets will be canceling.

More later.

[Barko]

Wotif Secret now cancelled until further notice: FuramaXclusive Asoke-Sukhumvit.

For those that took advantage of it, good work! A great deal while it lasted.

More later.

Best,

Do you have any opinions about rajah mansion in sukhumvit 4? Is it girl friendly? Or do you recommend another serviced apartment with high privacy?

[Noclew]

Any thoughts on this place? Likes or dislikes. GF and distance from Suk.

Thanks

The Honey Hotel is indeed a decent enough (IMHO) place to stay and its location (Sukhumvit Soi 19) is good. Their "Single Deluxe" rooms are great value for the money. I wrote a review some time ago: http://www.InternationalSexGuide.nl/forum/showthread.php?p=803255

Thanks Goyave, Gus69, Barko for the reply.

After further inspection the Honey nor the Manhattan have free wi-fi(which i need)
At the Manhattan they charge baht100 for half hour

But GF is very imp. Thinking of spending a bit more and maybe staying at the Kingston suites. Do you guys recommend that?i read it was 100%GF with free wi-fi

... Also the Honey Hotel is guest friendly and budget priced, reasonably close to the action as well, not far from the unfriendly Key.

I would say that the Manhattan hotel is nicer, but the Honey Hotel is cheaper. Both are girl friendly (maybe a bit too much at the Honey Hotel as explained in my previous review).

So far, I have never stayed at The Key Hotel in Bangkok, but I read some reports saying that they try to charge a 500 baht joiner fee per guest there.

Barko, The Renaissance looks to be about 1.2 km into Soi 24 from Sukhumvit Road - that seems more than a 3 min walk to me, quite a hike really. have I got the wrong marriott propery? If not, a pity, as the property looks nice and it seems I'll have a couple of days in early Nov to find accom.

Pity indeed that the GM deal has gone.

Cheers, Y

Yep, Yendor, you gottem' mixed up. I should have made it a little more clear. Both of these are listed in my Marriott 2800 Baht Wotif secret deal report.

The Marriott on Sukhumvit Soi 24 is the "Marriott Executive Apartments, Sukhumvit Park". Address: 90 Sukhumvit Soi 24 Klongton Klongtoey 10110 BANGKOK. And it IS way down the Soi, directly across from that huge "If it swims, we have it" Seafood restaurant. I used to take the motorcycle taxis from there up to Suk, but it's a pain in the rain.

The "Renaissance Bangkok Ratchaprasong Hotel" (owned by Marriott) is over near the Chit Lom BTS station: Ploenchit Road; 10330 BANGKOK The Renaissance is nice because there is the Amarin Shopping Plaza (Starbucks, McD's, Häagen-Dazs, etc.) and the BTS station within 3 minutes walk, virtually just separated by a parking lot right next to the hotel.

From the Renaissance, I can be at the Asoke BTS within 10 minutes, then go under the road by way of the subway (MRT) underpass. Soi Cowboy is right there. Going back, I just tell the taxi, "Amarin Plaza", they all know it, then you just show them where the turn-in is for the hotel. Not bad really, 40 Baht plus tip.

Having the BTS close by is a key element, I won't stay too far away from one any more. So, the Marriott Soi 24, though a really nice studio apartment, has been pretty much X'd off my list of places to play for now.

PM if you want.

Best, B.

...yYou wouldn't be walking to the fun zones, you would take the BTS skytrain, it's the fastest, most economical way of direct transport in Bangkok (the BTS station is a 3 minute walk through a parking lot that is directly in front of the Renaissance.)

Wow, I have a friend from Hawaii that SWEARS by the Honey Hotel. He wouldn't stay anywhere else at any price. Blind eye GF, old style but decent rooms, super friendly staff, great location, low key & relaxing, and it's cheap!

The Key has been off the radar for a while now, you never know what you are going to get, there are lots of rooms without windows, and if don't lay down some groundwork, you could very well end up getting screwed by the night front desk guy when you bring your hottie back to the room at 1am.

This is going to be my first time here as well. I'm looking for a place that offers one bedroom suite with Club Lounge access (for the free drink) and good breakfast selection. Laundry service would be great extra too. I've been leaning towards the Millennium Hilton, but the only draw back it's so bloody far from all the "action". Also considering Banyan Tree.... Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!! Thank You!!

If you like Hilton Group, then try the Conrad on Wireless Road. If you come out the back door it is about 5 mins walk to the bottom of Suk. And 10 mins from Nana Soi 4. I usually stay there, the staff are lovely and don't care who you bring in. They treat the girls very well too. More central and ideal for Soi Cowboy is the Sheraton Grand Sukhaumvit. The Conrad has a great lounge, I assume to Sheraton does too. Both of these have nightclubs on site. Not tried the clubs recently though. (There is also the "Royal Orchid Sheraton" which is on the River so don't get confused although that is okay as well).

Others worth a look are the Marriott (just by Soi 4 on Soi 2) and the Landmark (which will porbably be a lot lower cost than the others).

If you want to monger in Patpong then the Shangri La is probably a 15 min walk. The Sofitel is closer as are a bunch of others.

There are many many good hotels in BKK. Not all are girl friendly though or they may make a joiners fee (like the Amari's).

Good luck!
