Bangkok Hotels

If it's not too late I would change from Royal Prez to Grand Prez mainly due to location. Grand Prez is closer to BTS and there is a shortcut thru the Park Hotel parking lot off Soi 11 that gets you to the Biergarden in about 2 minutes. Also, GP is more handy for soi 7/1 which has the BJ Nuru and BJ bar. Soi 11 is a great street with nightclubs, restaurants, western grocery Villa Market and the massage places with extras right next to Villa Market. I would change if possible even though the Royal Prez isn't bad.

Thanks for the heads up, changed my reservation to the grand prez.

Instead of spending 4 nights in Bangkok in October my stay there was cut down to one night only. So I decided to stay at the Sofitel Sukhumvit (for being close to Soi Cowboy AND Nana) and was very happy with the choice, nevertheless I appreciate all your useful recommendations like Sukhothai or Muse, maybe next time. They put me into one of these larger corner rooms. Breakfast buffet was very fine (better than at Grande Centre Point on par with Landmark) but the thing that was really outstanding was the super charming and friendly staff at reception. Not only helpful and polite but also cute.

The hotel is girlfriendly. My girl had to show her I'd card when we came there in the night, so probably we cannot call this "totally girlfriendly" (as it is in some hotel where nobody cares who you bring in).

Hello!

I stayed in Phachara (close to Nana) in October for over 10 nights. Fantastic hotel. Now I am going back in November and the prices has gone up from 2000 to way way over 3000. I am looking for an alternative and have sorted out a bunch of options. Has anyone any recent experience from any of these hotels.

Boss Suites Nana. THB 1, 599. 84.

City Lodge Sukhumvit 9 Hotel. THB 2, 001. 00.

Royal Ivory Hotel. THB 1, 739. 00.

I find only some older reviews here. In Agoda all get OK reviews, but I trust the members of ISG more.

Which hotel do you guys suggest if I want to be close to Thermae for around 1500 thb? I had a fl tell me the rooms in Ruamchitt were pretty ordinary.

Ruamchit Plaza Hotel is ordinary but I like it. Rooms are large (rooms at the end of the corridor). Take the upgraded rooms. It is in a very convenient location. Just go down to the basement and go straight up to your room.

Gents,

I will visit Bangkok in November 2013 and already had reservation with Maxim Inn Deluxe bed at a cost 1390bt a night. I stayed at Maxim Inn before, it is a GF hotel and very quietly at the end of Soi 7/1. What's a very conviently location close to Nana bts. I like this Maxim Inn when I found out Majestic suite was a noisy hotel facing Sukhumvit and the staff could not even give a decent one even I had a reservation at a much higher cost than Maxim Inn.

I have always stayed in the Landmark hotel on Sukhumvit, but like others in this forum I have learned that there is a lot of bad rooms and value for money might be better spent in other hotels in this area. I have reserved a "Premium-Superior" room this time, does anybody know if it is a good room? Or if anybody has a better hotel recommendation (where it is easy to bring some girls) I appreciate it since I still can cancel the booking in Landmark which I have for mid November.

Got myself a booking at four points now and after what I've read here I think I will cancel my booking at landmark.

How's the area around Kempinski? Bars / MPs? Is the hotel gf?

It's a great location for regular tourists, but not so much so for mongers. It's convenient to BTS, which will get you to and from the MPs and to Nana and Cowboy but not back as BTS stops running at midnight. You will have to take a taxi back in heavy traffic. For outcall, the MPs will love the hotel. Spasso in the Grand Hyatt is relatively close; it's a nice club with plenty of FL but the ladies you find there will be much cheaper after 2am in Climax, which will be a bit of a hassle to get to. Book the room for 2, it will cost no more than booking for 1, and you should have no problem with a guest.

Went with the Royal President, wanted something halfway between nana and cowboi.

The Deluxe rooms in main building are good but unfortunately breakfast has gone down couple of notches, GF it is, do not be adventurous with their restaurant.

Ciao!

Both Presidents are definitely girl friendly. No first hand experience with the others you asked about.

Incidentally, there are websites listing GF hotels in BKK. You'll find the with a little search. Google can be your friend.

I'm looking at several hotels, curious if all are girl friendly. The ambassador ($44) , city lodge soi 19 ($46) , salil ($49) , grand president ($50) or the royal president ($50). I'm liking the ambassador with its outdoor pool and its proximity to both nana and cowboi. The salil, both presidents and the ambassador are all walking distance from climax. Any advice?

You need to be aware that the Ambassador is a dump. Don't be fooled by the photos you see, or even the foyer when you get there. The rooms are really quite bad.

Avoid at all costs.

I have personally stayed at Grand President and Ambassador. Both are girl friendly, they may only ask for an ID if you get a guest. Climax is at the basement of Ambassador and Grand President is diagonally opposite to Ambassador. They have a band playing at Climax all days and the crowd picks up post midnight. Both locations are close to the action.
