I have always avoided "family" style Hotels, since don't want to parading my hot hooker in a very sexy bikini in front of families.

Posts: 3040Soi 11 has its own night time attractions plus you can always take a motorcycle taxi to Sukhumvit for 20 baht or some amount similar no matter how far down the Soi your hotel is located, so I don't see location as a problem. Lively Soi 11 attractions include Levels, Insanity, Sugar Club, and plenty of SW's. Even Oskars Bistro has well dressed FL's sitting at tables in the front. Now with all that said, I will add that I no longer choose to stay on Soi 11. I used to like to stay at the Fraser Suites. It is still a very good hotel with huge 1 & 2 bedroom apartment style rooms, a friendly staff, great roof top bar / restaurant, a nice pool and all at very reasonable rates. But like I said, I used to stay there. The reason I do not stay at the Fraser or any other hotel on Soi 11 anymore is that I got fed up with the changed hotel guest demographics. I got tired of their uptight looks, their smelly perfume, and their brat kids at the pool. So I have moved further up Sukhumvit away from all that Middle Eastern Jazz, although I still occasionally check out Soi 11, but only way, way after midnight.

Posts: 999New Hotel coming to Soi 11
With all the talk about hotels on soi 11, I want to mention a new hotel that looks like it's a couple of months away from opening up. I believe the name is Eleven Hotel. Not to be confused with a hotel with a similar name closer to Sukhumvit. The new hotel used to be the Grand President's Tower 3. Looks like somebody bought Tower 3 and is totally renovating it.
The hotel sits above the German bar / restaurant on Soi 11 that has been there forever. That bar was moved temporarily to Soi 13 but is back in its original location now.

Next visit in a couple weeks' time I've booked Grand Swiss. Previously stayed at Citadines which is rather further down Soi. I'm fairly fit but the walk, in cooler season of December, wasn't so welcome some days. The pavement / sidewalk on the Soi is patchy in places IIRC. Very nice hotel though. This time I'm visiting in summer so will be hotter and wetter. Grand Swiss is closer to BTS and Sukhumvit, and I got similar price to Citadines. Well-reviewed too.

Posts: 29Accessing Soi 11 from Soi 7
Odd question. Is there a way to access Soi 11 from Soi 7 on foot without having to all the way around via Sukhumvit Road? Cutting through a hotel to an alleyway maybe? I had a look on google maps, nothing jumped out at me.

I had a buddy that walked a lot around Bangkok. He was slim but late sixties. At night he would be too tired out to be able to take a girl for a fuck. So what was the point of all that walking? Senseless in my view. One can get around by Motorcycle through back Sois, or Taxi, MRT, BTS. I sometimes do 10 minutes walk myself, but not in ugly conditions, and only if have nothing better to do.
Staying 400 metres down a Soi can be real nuisance for wasting time and needing to walk too much. Recently I stayed about 200 metres down a Soi. That is about my limit, and I prefer less. More than that is an inconvenience. Stepped in some deep water puddles. Hotel was not close to BTS either so would have to get a motorcycle to get to BTS or MRT.
Convenient location of a Hotel to transport, supermarket, food stalls, market etc. Can matter.
Personally, I think Citadines Soi 11 is a bit too deep down the Soi. I would give it a miss unless transport is available right outside. I once stayed Citadines on Soi 23 and hated it for hard beds, poor breakfast, the staff, and a bit too deep in the Soi. My Thai Mrs did not like it that much either. She loved Grand Millenium (now Pullman) nearby, with beds like sleeping on a cloud, and a fabulous breakfast. Ha ha. In a different class altogether. True I used to stay at Admiral Premier, quite deep in the Sois, but I am not adverse to catching a motorcycle.
Someone (maybe Whreman) recently wrote that some MPS in Soi 33 were too far down the Soi to make a visit viable, e.g. New massage, Dream Heaven, Akane, etc.
