Bangkok Hotels

[J A Karl]

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.

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.

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?

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.

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!

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?

That is interesting since I had no issues at all when stayed there. I don't recall the shaking at all. Perhaps I am used to noisy Thailand.

Yea I guess I was unlucky to get a defected room but for the price I paid, I got no further complains. My room was very spacious. Going to stay Ruamchitt next time because it's just above thermae and walking distance from Nana.

Hey, I am doing the same trip. Let me know how Saigon goes. I have never been.

Thanks. That is the info I was looking for.

I found report from Syzgies and after reading it I think I'll be booking this hotel very soon. It is only 35(40 $) per night and perfect location.

I'm a new member but was following Thailand forum for years and it was very helpful so far. No, this is going to be my fifth trip to Bangkok in 3 years, and so far I stayed at LE Fenix in soi 11 (3*) ,Galleria 10 in soi 10 (4* Dream hotel in soi 15 (5* and ICheck Inn soi 7/1 (3* All were girl friendly.

I usually stay for 1-3 nights before I leave for islands or Pattaya or like this year in Saigon, so I really just need some basic comfort and good location. Of course if I run into some discount or promotion like I did for Dream Hotel I will gladly use it. It was like 65 $/ night for a 5* hotel in soi 15, which I think was a good deal.

Hope I helped someone with info.

I stayed there last week. Hotel staff are friendly and helpful It's definitely girl friendly. Brought girls there every night. No issues. Just need to give them the girl's ID. If you only plan to visit Soi Cowboy then it's okay but I also visited Thermae bar so I had to walk quite a distance. The building shakes every 10 minutes because of the subway underneath. Toiletries are bare minimum. My room A/C didn't work well and the water pressure from my shower was poor.

There are some hotels with a lift that bypasses reception then only have elevator guard to deal with.

Hyatt Place on Soi 24, the elevators bypass the reception if you're staying on the lower floors, up to FL. 16 from what I remember. Above that you need to change elevators but you could probably do this on another floor. I haven't tried since the girls I brought back to my room were during the day so they didn't bother even looking at me at reception.

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?

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 used to stay in Admiral Premier a lot and that is not far from Narz and Pegasus. I think it will be marginally shorter but not by much

I will be back in Bangkok tomorrow for a 3 week business trip, but unfortunately there was no room available for the entire stay at my regular hotel. I got the option to change room a couple of times, but I don't like switching between different rooms.

I know it might be a gamble but I will try a completely new hotel for me. St James Hotel on Soi 26. Never been there before but I will write a report on how it was.

Be safe.

None of my regular places do unless you ask them too. Here is my list from experience.

Landmark.

Conrad.

Four Points.

JW Marriott.

Marriott on 57.

Grande Centre Point T21.

I doubt you would be questioned at any about more than one girl either. But I haven't tried.

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?
