Dear IGS'ler,
I have the luck to be in BKK beginning of March. I have stayed in BKK for abote 10 times till now. And always I am struggeling to finde a cool hotel.
I stayed in the dream, hyhat, livingston, the swiss, and others. So I like more 4, 5 or 5 star with a nice spa and pool.
It must be GF and better in a good location.
I have read the forum and serched everywhere but I would love is someone can give me a recomendation what hotel to try this time. Importand is a nice bath, because I love to play there.
Any idear? It is not a question of the price.
Thanks a LOT!

There are many reports on ISG about Livingstones Lodge (LL). Here is mine.
For my first days in BKK I had booked Sheraton Grande. The one reason I did not initially book LL, was the seemingly lack of comfortable seating in the rooms. I have a back that needs resting now and then, and I need something comfortable that suits my particular back problem.
However, when visiting LL with the purpose of meeting one of their lovely hostesses, I got the chance to talk to the hotel manager, Guido, who simply asked me what I needed. I had at that point found a good little sofa, placed outside the Sports Bar, which was good for my needs. Guido then immediately confirmed that he would make sure the sofa would be in my room, should I decide to book my upcoming 6 days in BKK at LL. Said and done.
When I got there, and were taken to the room, junior suite I had chosen, the sofa was there.
That is only one out of dozens of superb responses and actions taken by him and his staff.
Throughout my entire 6 days stay, I can only conclude that LL provides service and attitudes that no Sheraton in the world get even close to. When entering the hotel part of the establishment, there is a sign saying "welcome to our home". I guess it depends a bit on how you, as a guest behaves, but if you, like me, appreciate that kind of closeness and intimate feeling that they offer, well then this hotel is better than most.
What you get in terms of tangibles are:
A good sized room.
A clean room, with a bed that is the most comfortable I can imagine.
I bathroom with funny but nice decor, not that big, but OK in size.
A nice jacuzzi in some rooms.
A clean and warm swimming pool.
A restaurant that gives you your breakfast ANY time you want it.
A breakfast that in no way gives justice the the quality of the restaurant, but is OK.
Thai, or western / German food at night of absolute highest standards. Surprisingly good food. Even good wines.
A Sports Bar, that caters extremely well to the interests of the ISG memebers = girls. Wonderful girls.
Staff in all corners that are always present and available, but never ever in your face when You don't want them to.
In addition, as mentioned above, a personal service of highest quality. The more You ask for, the more they show what they can and are willing to do for You.
Finally I want to mention the superb attitudes of the mamasan Jen and the above most things ruling Som. And, the manager Guido and owner Hermann, who also is constantly present and offering good advice, as well as company.
There is no place like home, or LL.

[url]http://www.dynastygrande.com/[/url][/QUOTE]Have to agree
The Dynasty Grade is the one I stay in for a few days when I arrive and before I fly home.
Its is gf and a couple of mins walk from Nana. 7-11 / family market nearby.
Excellent rooms decent cable wired internet, pool, reasonable food (only tried breakfasts)
Staff very friendly with me always remember my name etc.
Very well treated.
Not that expensive
Try latestays. Com and it coes in at 1800 baht a night.
The Majestic Grande is a more upper class establishment.
Friend of mine stays there as he has more money than sense.
But I know the people who own it the family that own the Majestic Tailors run both it and the Majestic Suites and they are honest hard working people who know how to run things and make very good suits for fat ba$tards like me.
Again late stays quote for this.
For a less expensive stay try ever rich inn just on sukhumvit between 3 and 5 where the freelancers all stand at the bus stop clean cheap definitely GF and has really big showers enough for me and at least 2 others with pleanty of space beds are ok King suite gets a window Queen gets a mirror behind a curtain but at under 1 K for this location its good value indian people who run it are very nice too

Been staying there a couple of times but I don't think I will again. To noisy rooms. All thoose sound comming from outside the doors, and through the walls. And last week the THAIMAN behind the desc, cheated me with the laundrybill (express when it was regular) and when I complained about this he just told me that we can take that some other time, I was checking out.

Will[/QUOTE]Why don't you just call / email the hotel and ask. They will tell you upfront. And if they are GF then stay there and give us all a feedback. Many thanks.

I'm having a business trip and only have two choices, any recommendations?
Are these girl-friendly hotels?
Aetas Hotels & Residence. (49 Phloenchit Road, Soi. Ruamrudee Lumpini Pathumwan, Wireless / Ploenchit, Bangkok)
Vie Hotel. (117-39 Phaya Thai Road, Ratchathewi, Pratunam / Siam, Bangkok)
I'm staying in Hotel Solo, recommended in the hotel thread. It's within 5 mins walking from Nana, my usual hunting ground. The hotel proves to be OK for the price. The wotif deal is gone so I'm paying 2, 200 a night. Not exactly cheap for Thailand. But the room does look fresh and stylish, the beddings are great, it's a classy mid-range place.
One thing to note about Solo: it's not a mongers hotel, though it is girl friendly. There are couples, groups of girls travelling together, etc. These people are in the lobby checking their laptop in the evening. So if you are bit shy to take girls back to your room, keep that in mind.
I also checked out the Majestic Grande which is next door. I didn't like their basic room (too cramped) but the Deluxe room is pretty nice, it's a corner room (double windows) , big bathroom. It's about 3, 000 a night but they have some discount if you stay for a week. I might go for that when I come back from Samui.

Thanks. I appreciate that information as I am more respectful to the guests than shy about bringing girls back. I am glad I passed on Solo now.
I checked in at Honey Hotel, Sukhumvit soi 19, no 31. Today. Good hotel for the price and good location. Gf-friendly. I pay 900 for a room upstair, a / see but no fridge, and it smells old / shitty. The room downstair at the carpark is same type and cost 800. Then there are rooms from 1000 and upwards which are better with minibar and good air, I will move to one of them tomorrow. Then the wi-fi connection, first its not free, you have to pay for the time you use, secondly the net "Cyberpoint" blocks this forum! Totally horrible! I now have to sit at a restaurant nearby to access it.

For me, I wouldn't sty in a place that charges less than 4k / night. But I don't care about costs, just have to ba a 5 star
