Bangkok Hotels

[QUOTE=Syzygies; 1420412]4 star + quality and new. Actually intended to stay at S15 but somehow booked this one accidentlly due to brain fade. Was upgraded to better room it seems. Room was 2 level with stairs up to the bedroom and bathroom. A bit strnage really and not good if you are drunk. Room had kinchette and small lounge downstairs. Bathroom has separate shower (good). Bed very large indeed easily big enough for 3 persons or more. True king-size I think.

Difficult to work the curtains over 2 storey length. Downstairs had no desk to wok at so had to use kitchen bench which was really not wide enough.

Did not try the breakfast as was busy with the girl. Nice pool on 8th floor opposite reception.

Overall I thought they tried to be stylish but failed on the basics of no work desk / table and 2 levels / storeys a bit too much of a gimmick.

Previous night the girl told me she was taking me to "Insomnia" club but it turned out to be "Insanity" so her English is not the greatest. Speaking Thai at the disco was somewhat useless. Only one in 3 of waiters / waitresses had ever heard of "Diet coke" or "Coke Light". I guess if they were smart they would work elsewhere. Its tough to avoid sugar here in Thailand (to maintain my weight loss) as the Thais often just fail to understand what "no sugar" means.

The Girl was a bit drunk and I was not. She thought the Hotel was pretty good and I was satisfied. However will move back to somewhere better for doing work.[/QUOTE]I have stayed at S31 a couple of times and in simular room as you. I found the layout of the room fancy and all that crap but not very practical. I also reacted on no workdesk and the kitchenbench where used for computerrelated businesses (the bench was to high to do girls on). The breakfast and the giant bed upstairs was on the plus side. During breakfast they did have one chef designated to make omelettes. I think I paid 4200 or 3800BHT per night (don't recall wich number).

A true king-size bed, technically an Eastern King as opposed to a California King, is 76 inches or 193cm wide. The California King is four inches narrower and four inches longer than an Eastern King. The beds in the S31 are 240cm wide, as are the beds in the Studio 53 and Studio 63 rooms at the Hotel Maduzi. These 240cm wide beds are about 18 1/2 inches wider than the king-size beds in hotels that provide true king-sized beds. The extra width is nice when you're having a romp with two ladies; and this is the sole reason I have stayed at each of these hotels. Of course I probably should not be telling other ISG members about why I like these hotels. Everyone else will stay there and I won't be able to get a room. By the way, I think the comments about the S31 are spot on. When I checked in I took an upgrade to the duplex suite. As soon as I saw the room's configuration I went downstairs and switched to a junior suite. In a sentence I think S31 is trying to be a luxury boutique hotel but doesn't pull it off. I prefer the Hotel Maduzi, though it can be more expensive than the S31. The Maduzi's rates fluctuate wildly. A Studio 53 can run from about US$175 to US$115.

Just read some reviews on Centrepoint Terminal 21 and they were not very flattering for a 5 star hotel. Think I'll look at Continent, Silq, and Sacha's Uno. Anybody stay at Silq or Sacha's Uno recently? I'm really trying to stay close to the BTS and Cowboy.

It is pretty good although breakfast area a bit small. I preferred Admiral Premier but took Silq when AP was too expensive (AP is popular for tours and when fullish the prices go right up). Its an advantage to be so close to both BTS and MRT and Soi Cowboy.

Many staff do not understand Thai (From Myanmar I guess) but okay English.

When taking a girl to room, lift does not even have to stop at reception upstairs.

i have been staying at centre point sukhumvit thong-lo. for over a week.

address: 55 sukhumvit road, khlong toei, bangkok 10110.

phone:02 365 8300

walking distance to some top night clubs.

you can walk to the train and hit all the night spots.

visitor friendly. they just let them in. no issues at all.

good wifi. always working. fast speed, so skype works perfect.

washing machine for clothes.

atm is close.

good size safe.

big bathroom, big bed / bedroom.

the place is a 1 bedroom apartment unit hotel. it is nice. cost is 4500 baht or $150 usa a night. there are other places cheaper places, but this is an apartment and you don't feel like your in a hotel.

[QUOTE=Allover;1420858]Wow. Just read some reviews on Centrepoint Terminal 21 and they were not very flattering for a 5 star hotel.[/QUOTE]I have stayed at the Centre point T21 a number of times and I liked it. The rate was $103 / night for a deluxe premium room (40 sq. Meters) with breakfast. It is not a 5* hotel and at that rate it is foolish to expect it to be. But it is a solid 4* plus hotel. The location is really good with Cowboy right across the street, Thermae a couple blocks down Sukhumvit the other way, and the BTS and MRT right there. And the pool is fantastic. I know I will stay here again. I prefer it over the Grand Millennium across the street. The GM has slightly better rooms, but their pool is a joke.

On customer service:

I missed my connecting flight to BKK. Lufthansa put me on the next Thai Air flight from Rome to BKK the next day and put me up at the Rome Hilton Airport Hotel ($200 / night) for free including dinner and breakfast vouchers. I had a prepaid reservation in BKK at Grande Point Center Point T21 made through Expedia ($103 / night deluxe premium room with breakfast). I contacted Expedia about the late arrival and asked them to cancel the first night reservation due to the flight delay. Expedia put me on hold while they tried to contact the hotel. I waited for over 10 minutes and then hung up.

So I arrived the next day (24 hours late) at the Grande Center Point T21 Hotel around 6am. I had a 12 day reservation. The attractive reservation clerk said my room was ready. I asked her about a refund for the first night. She told me that under the circumstances it was not hotel policy to issue a refund since they were not notified sufficiently in advance, but they were aware of my situation and were going to upgrade my reservation to the grand suite (65 sq. Meters) a $200 / night room at no extra cost for the entire remainder of my stay. Would that be all right? I smiled and said thanks. The suite on the 22nd floor was waiting for me at 6am.

Of course the hotel is GF. I have invited girls to the pool for a swim (they loved it) and entertained 2 girls in my suite on a couple of occasions.

Asoke Residence (managed by Grand Mercure) .75 sqm for 2. 300 THB (and they give me.as frequent visitor- always an upgrade to their 96 sqm executive the luxe apartment which include 2 showers) , weekly rate.

Also here very succesfull reactions from "visitors" to the pool, the sauna and the shot steam room (althought I don't like it bcs its male and female separated).

Enjoy.

I always have the same issue with dieet coke / coke light, you can try coke zero!

They even say under maps that it is 1km from Sukhumvit and Soi Cowboy.

That is a very busy road and I would not like to walk anywhere from that hotel on it.

It is more like the 200m from Petchaburi subway that the website says.

So that leaves taxis everytime you are out.

Location would not be attractive to me. But thanks anyway.

Enjoy[/QUOTE]okay Thanks, you can tell I don't do discos that often. They seem a bit mindless / boring (Insanity fits) to someone a bit ancient other looking for pretty girls. I have been to much worse discos in Bangkok where sound quality was bad, ventilation pathetic, and completely idiot DJ. I usually go only because the young girl wants to.

Coke Zero, I don't like. Its too sweet and not much fizz.

[QUOTE=NicFrenchy;1421573]2300 thb a week? That's a steal![/QUOTE]Maybe a day, LOL

[QUOTE=Somewhere15;1421562]Asoke Residence (managed by Grand Mercure) .75 sqm for 2. 300 THB, weekly rate. Enjoy.[/QUOTE]Thanks for the tip Somewhere. I will check AR out. Looks like AR is in strong competition with the Admiral Premiere another good BKK hotel I like to stay at.

( I read the 2300bt rate as the nightly rate available for a 7 day or longer reservation which is a pretty good deal all things considered for a 3.5* plus BKK Sukhumvit suite hotel.)

Hi guys,

Can recommend me any hotel to stay at BKK. Near to the farm or night life area. First time going to BKK. 1 of my friend recommend me to stay at Citin hotel, any feedback or opinion on this hotel. My gay friend say that this is near to nite life area lo. What the name of the nite life area? Beside that, can I know the price for booking per night over there? Kindly advise. Thank you.
