Bangkok Hotels

[Chill Out]

I didn't like Admiral Premier. Bathroom was bad, floor always flooding when having a shower in the tub. Also location too far from Sukhumvit road, need a taxi or motobike to walk to MRT or skytrain. Can anyone suggest a better hotel?

Go a few pages back. Read the thread.

For those not wanting to far from Suk, you can always try Ruamchitt Plaza Hotel. I believe you can get it for 1400B if you book directly or at about 1500 from the online booking sites. Nice clean rooms but nothing fancy. They have free wifi. It's the hotel on top of Thermae.

Heads up, the accor chain of hotels is having 50% off their regular rate, sales starting on the 16/6.

Thanks Harry. Good tip!

I went and looked at accor. Com and there are 29 of their hotels in Bangkok.

Do you suppose we'll see 50% on all properties through any booking venue? Or just through their own website limited to a few? Any other details you can share greatly appreciated.

Citadines 23 was disappointing for me, without remembering all the reasons why, but didn't like it. Admiral Premier is close by and significantly better.

Mr. Syzygies: If you don't mind, please elaborate as to why you liked the Admiral Premier. I see they have several types of suites. Which one did you stay in? How was the Internet? Do you recommend requesting a certain floor or part of the hotel?

Thanks in advance.

I normally stay at the Woraburi Sukhumvit Hotel or the ambassador or even the Miami hotel. I want something similar with free WIFI in the rooms? You have to pay at the ambassador which is expensive. I like to be within walking distance of soi cowboy or nana plaza, thanks in advance.

Look you are in a very low price bracket but you don't state your maximum price. Most Hotel sites like Agoda or wotif you can do searches by price range, and they will show "Free Wifi" or "complimentary wifi" on the Hotel Info.

Grand Business Inn on Soi 11 would be an option if meets your price range. Most cheap Hotels will have free wifi if they have wifi at all.

I found the following for that. . . . . . . Instead of having your breakfast included into the room price I ask them to drop that of and give me free internet. . . . . . This worked several times and. . . . . . . As I am normally up after 10:30 AM. . . . . . Breakfast would be also closed already.

I stayed there for 10 days in May. The hotel is very quiet and I didn't see any construction in the area. They are girl friendly. The hotel is at the end of Soi 2. They have a tuk tuk to take you up to Sukumvit. I usually walk back at night with no safety issues experienced. I walked back at night with girls so the walk is not to far. I enjoyed my stay there and I would stay there again. If you have any questions PM me.

Problem with Ambassador is they are not gf and they get exodus of human beings and they trat guests like commodities.

If you want to stay by Soi Cowboy, then I would recommand Citadines Sukhumvit 23. Place is CLEAN, nice rooms, and free breakfast. Also Checkout S Sukhumvit Suites or Sache Unos. Those are all very close to Soi Cowboy and nice rooms. Just have to research AGODA. Com and look at the map of where the rooms are. You can walk from Soi Cowboy to NANA, but it will be a good 20 min walk. Or just hope on the skytrain (ASOKE staion) right by soi cowboy and get off at NANA Station.

Citadines 23 was disappointing for me, without remembering all the reasons why, but didn't like it. Admiral Premier is close by and significantly better.

Walk from Cowboy to Nana is quite do-able in good weather (not right now perhaps), but walk on south side to avoid footpath stalls and customers blocking your way. If you are feeling lazy, can get a motorcycle to take you in just two minutes, or catch a taxi (a bit slow). It is not really efficient to catch the BTS train (its only 1 stop) unless you get lucky and next one arrives immediately. Catching train still leaves a fair amount of walking to do, perhaps 30% of the trip.

Miami was a shitty hotel 20 years ago, and is only declining I suspect. I wouldn't be seen dead there. Don't even consider that one, without looking at the rooms first. There are much better budget options. Even Honey, Soi 19 is was way nicer than Miami, many years back, despite very small rooms.

Really great info everyone, cheers! Good to know there's a dependable train system too. I usually prefer to travel in the city on foot; a little for the exercise, but mainly for the eye candy.
