Bangkok Hotels

[MichaelSamuel]

Do the Grand Centre Point T21. Rooms are nice, modern, quiet, and pool is great. Since you are first time visitor has the advantage of the great T21 food court and all the other restaurants right there. Direct access to skytrain and MRT and since you won't have any thai Terminal 21 is easy to communicate to taxi drivers. Last, as you noted easy access to Nana, Cowboy, thermae, the massage places at 33 and 24, and the BJ bars in the area as well.

I know I don't have many posts here but hope I'm still allowed to ask questions.

I'm currently planning my first ever trip to Bangkok for a week long stay later this year and also booked 6 hotels based on reading this thread. The hotels I booked are Grand Centre T21, Four Points, Pullman Grande, Best Western Premiere, Dream, and Citadines 11. However I have no idea which one I should actually stay at. I think all of these hotels are guest friendly but please correct me if I'm wrong. Location wise, all of them are pretty much a wash as I chose them for pretty much being in between Nana and Soi Cowboy. So if anyone has ever stayed in more than one of them and can compare them for me so I can make a final decision, that would be great. Thank you and advance.

Guys, Member from LK forum here.

I'm visiting Bangkok next month and planing to stay at "Majestic Grande Hotel*". As I found it's a girl friendly place. Just looking to get a confirmation from you guys, I can bring girl to the hotel right? And any tips would be mostly welcome.

I booked 2 nights at Sakura Sky earlier this year since I had to be around the nearby Metropolis Building. I left after 1 night and booked a different hotel. Room size was good but old. Bathroom was miserable. I asked for a better room but they said I already had the upgraded renovated room. Staff was very nice. Best thing about Sakura Sky is that you see all these young Japanese girls in their sleepwear running to the shared washroom. I tried to book at S33 Compact next door but they were sold out. I like the area though. Saw a couple of massage girls who looked passable. It's worth the price I guess but not for me. I prefer modern newer hotels like Arte Hotel on Sukhumvit 19 but it's always sold out since I tend to book last minute.

There are was nothing old about the furnishing of my room. Yes the building may be old.

Not sure what you mean by miserable bathroom. I was quite satisfied by mine, largish and clearly fitted out not long ago.

Everything new.

I did select "Superior" room on booking, only slightly more expensive than normal room.

Shower was over bath, which might upset some, but I saw no problem.

Toilet had fancy contraptions for arse and pussy cleaning although had normal Thai jet spray hose as well.

There were probably no shared bathrooms on my floor. (5th floor I think).

Based on the redecoration, it all seemed modern to me, even if building is quite old. Not a single issue or complaint from me. At 1200 Baht,
cannot expect an amazing Hotel. I love Column Hotel but in a totally different price league (maybe 3 to 4 times the price).
Don't see specials there that often any more. I like Grand Mercure Soi 19 as a good in between standard, when they have a good price.

Nice to know though, that perhaps the room standards vary a lot. I guessed that a bit, since they have capsule rooms too.

I don't like to use a lot of money on Hotel rooms, unless have a fancy girl to stay with me, when I could be using it for girls like a threesome from Shark. LOL However the room must reach a basic standard including the bed being comfortable, have a window, air con works, and a satisfactory bathroom. I love to have kitchette or large fridge when possible and a balcony.

Has anyone used an airbnb instead of hotel. If so, how are they about bringing girls in? Most seem to be apartments, so maybe it depends on the neighbors.

Sakura Sky. It has capsule rooms and normal rooms. I took a Superior double room above basic level and price was 1215 Baht without B/F. Room was spacious and modern. Very nicely decorated Hotel. Could not find any faults at all. A bargain.

Location is Soi 33 just across from Mitu, Akane massage joints, near to S33 Compact.

I am in the process of writing reports from my last trip, just a quick couple hotel notes. Two things from many trips I have observed that may be of use to others. 1.) I normally stay at larger hotels not always chains, but larger properties, and my attempts at in person negotiation have always failed. The rate I could have gotten weeks or even months earlier have always been better. This makes no sense to me and is foolish, but my results just haven't panned out. Too much corporate structure I suppose. 2.) The only time I have been even mildly successful was with female staff members and in general I constantly find the female hotel staff to be more competent, quicker, and more likely to give me upgrades than the male staff. Often it seems that the male staff need additional help from another staff member. So my suggestion is that whenever possible go for the girl behind the desk.

I stayed at the landmark 2 nights, Marriott in thong lo 4 nights (executive lounge is great here), and 4 nights at the four points on soi 15. The Marriott and Landmark are 2 of my normal haunts and are both great. Marriott works better for regulars as it's a bit further, but most girls won't care if you tell them you will give them cab fare. It's still bullshit since almost every girl I have ever met lives down suk that direction anyway, but it's not worth arguing over 100 thb. This was my first time at four points and worked great for thermae and is reasonable for cowboy and nana. Comparatively though I found it overpriced compared to competitors, but still served my purposes fine. I should start testing internet speeds, but all 3 places the speed was good enough for my remote work connection.

Beware Citadines 23 has quite hard mattresses. I did not like it, nor the staff (unhelpful), but was many years ago. I stayed in Studio Asoke and was excellent value if looking for budget Hotel at the time. It was newish and I was surprised how big the room was. Yes I would do it again.

Studio Asoke was booked out (becoming popular), so I tried another budget Hotel for one night (passing through). Sakura Sky. It has capsule rooms and normal rooms. I took a Superior double room above basic level and price was 1215 Baht without B/F. Room was spacious and modern. Very nicely decorated Hotel. Could not find any faults at all. A bargain.

Location is Soi 33 just across from Mitu, Akane massage joints, near to S33 Compact. In the heart of massage land, but I don't like massage, at least not real amssage. LOL.

Hi guys, looking to head to BKK and thinking of staying at the Park Plaza Sukhumvit Soi 18. Anyone know if girl friendly?

[SexIsLove]

Dear members,

Need some info regarding Novotel Bangkok Sukhumvit 20 is it girl friendly? And do I have to go down to pick up the guest or do they send her directly to my room?

Novotel Soi 20 is girl friendly. Received girl few times in bar area.

Then walked to elevator from the route away from reception. No one even checked for ID. This was early 2017.

[Red Kilt]

Contact the Hotel either by calling or email, and just ask. Thais are very open minded.

You might get an accurate verbal answer if you call because nobody is accountable.
However, if you email seeking an email reply you will get a standard written response that will not implicate the hotel in any law-breaking activity.
You will get a vanilla reply along the lines of "any additional guest in a room must be registered at the front desk" which will not be the sort of reply you want.

Any tips or suggestions on the girl friendly aspect? Just walk in or did you have to register?

JW Marriott is girl friendly, girls need to register if they show up on their own. Last time, I stayed there, they were not sending the girl directly to your room, once they register, you will get the call from reception announcing that you have a guest and they will ask you to come down to the lobby to pick her up. Other Marriott hotels in Bangkok will give you the option to come down or send directly to your room.

Haven't stayed there in a couple of years. If I took a girl up to the room with me, they never registered. If the girl showed up (like an escort), some times they would make here register, and some time not. I always stay on the Executive Level, so they usually can't come up by themselves. Again, it has been a couple of years, so it may have changed.
