Bangkok Hotels

[QUOTE=Allover; 1432160]I have stayed at Grand Pres every year for the past 15 years. Their soi 11 location is a short walk to Nana and the BTS. On the BTS you are one station away from Cowboy and a few stops to Siam Square. GP is also on Soi 11 and there is a shortcut to Soi 7/1. Soi 11 and Soi 7/1 are happening places now. Soi 11 has good restaurants and the Villa Market to shop at. Some of the GP rooms are showing their wear but they being remodeled.

Centrepoint T21 is too expensive for me but I would love to stay there for location alone. I am guessing Admiral Premier may be a little too far from the BTS for me but I am not sure. Never been there.[/QUOTE]Bunky is right. The distance from the AP to Asok BTS/MRT is about the same as the walk from the Fraser Suites on Soi 11 to NANA BTS maybe less. It is certainly less distance from the AP to Cowboy Baccara than the distance of the Fraser to Rainbow Nana. Soi 23 is a different world than Soi 11. It's got its own flavor. You should give it a try.

To all who replied to my question, a great thanks. I decided to try both AP and GP. I believe that NB stated that they are two different experiences. I am familar more with cowboy than the other area, so lets give the new area a try. I just hope that AP has a safe in the room as it is not advertised as part of the amenities. Any one around in Sept send a PM and a beer will be offered. Again, thanks for the help.

During my visits in Bangkok over the past 3 - 4 years, I have allways stayed at Dream Hotel. But this time I've got a nice offer (40% off) at the Sofitel Bangkok Sukhumvit. The hotel looks good and the location is perfect. So to the big question; girl friendly?

Hotel is allready prepaid, so I am crossing my fingers.

Hi Guyz,

Need a small help. Am planning a mongering trip to Bangkok in next month & looking for economical options to stay in the action area near Nana BTS.

After lotsa googling, found 2 options: (1) Star Inn (2) World Inn.

Can anybody please provide some feedback on these 2 hotels regarding quality, service, food etc.

Also, it will be great if some one can recommend other good budget hotel options in the same area.

Thanks in advance.

Stay at Majestic Suites in the past. However, I find out at Maxim's Inn the hotel is much more quiet and bargain price for a double bed, No joiner fee and very friendly staff. Yes, I shall be back Maxim's Inn later this year.

Thnax to both. Duniawala & Tratnguyen.

Will check both these 2 hotels.

One question. Hope both these 2 are girl friendly & will allow escorts to visit my room? Do you have similar prior experience?

Also apart from these do you have any other recommendations just in case I do not get a reservation for my visit period?

Thanks.

Just booked at iCheck Inn 7/1. Brand new hotel and only $130CDN for 4 nights, can't go wrong with that. Had originally booked at Cozy at Ten but realized it was a bit to far from all the action (I won't use ST rooms, so having a hotel within a 5 minute walk is ideal). Plus I saved $40 as well.

I have stayed at World Inn twice in 2010 and 2011. The room rate was 800 Baht. Basic but clean and nice room. Very near to Nana BTS. No Bathtub or breakfast in the rate. I used to eat out. It is recommended if you are tight on the budget.

Maxims inn at soi 7/1 allows guests free if you book a double room (standard 990 baht no window) , single room only 750 but charge 300 for a guest. I'm currently in that 990 double, not a bad deal for this location. Small room. 140 cm bed, bad smell when you enter room, noisy air con, old building but rooms have been a bit renovated recently. Not perfect but if you want a room and bed for boom boom near Nana you can't beat this price I guess. The girl at the desk was polite but the man not really, didn't even offer to give me my 20 baht change and I didn't bother to ask then. Cleaning good and the lady nice, wanted to add me to Facebook when I asked her help with the toilet that did not flush.

I will be visiting Bangkok soon. Is Boss Suites Nana Hotel (40, 42 Sukhumvit Soi 4 (Nana Tai). Sukhumvit Road.) girl friendly? Please advise.

Thanks

If you are ok with small room the new tune hotel near Asok if you book with Agoda is 29 USD for double but no mini bar, it just open last year so is still very new short walk to Soi Cowboy.
