Bangkok Hotels

[QUOTE=Natty Bumpo;1445091]Grande Centre Point T21. Modern rooms. Great location and great pool. The suites are large, but expensive. Deluxe rooms much smaller, but priced appropriately. Elevators to the left side of front desk. One time my girl and I walked into a waiting elevator with another hotel guest and his "date" already inside. The girls knew each other since they were from the same bar. We all laughed. It was cool. Nobody cares what you do. Girl friendly.[/QUOTE]I now use this each visit. Stayed last Mon-Tues, had two out call from Cherry. They check in with front desk, drop off their ID card, call up to your room and you can double check with tv monitoring front. Posting from the hotel right now!

Girls love this place, they can walk around the one bedroom apt. You can play in the bedroom, on the couch in the living room, even screw around in the huge bathroom.

I will be a more frequent guest there in the future when playing with regular none P4P girls. My last stay I did only have one girl over for a couple of days and she used the gym and was very happy. I did also like the indoor connection to the Terminal21 center. Easy and convenient.

[QUOTE=Scorchin; 1445765]I guess if you find the latest Stickman Letter it details the demise of the Lodge and the Sports Bar. I have cancelled my November booking and gone back to my other favourite.

The Majestic Grand.

Not the same in any ways but 'same, same but different. '[/QUOTE]The problem could be the house girls. They need upgrading to young and hot from old and cold.

Does anybody know whether Omni Towers apartment hotel on Soi 3 is GF? For females walking in? I am planning to travel in sep.

One of the forum member has found lot of Uzbek gals staying there.

What is the general opinion about the hotel.

It is GF friendly. Identification card will have to be surrendered to the security guard.

There are lots of East Asian (India, Pakistan) and Arab families who stay there. I don't know about "lot of Uzbek gals" staying there. I believe there is a separate business office tower. When I stayed there a few years ago, there were a bunch of young, thin, attractive European looking girls hanging around the lobby and going into the business office tower. I was told that they worked for a modeling agency that operated out of there. I never saw the girls with any guys so I don't think they were P4P girls, but you never know.

With regards to the rooms, the rooms are big. The cheaper rooms (studio) are a bit rundown, but I still found them acceptable for the rate charged. The more expensive rooms are better, but you pay for what you get. All the rooms have small kitchens and in-room safe. When I stayed, wi-fi cost extra which was my only real knock on the Omni Tower

I've stayed there a couple of times and I'd probably stay there again unless I find something cheaper and better.

If you search the forum, I did a review of the Omni and uploaded a bunch of photos of the place.

I just stayed at the Admiral Premier. Actually I took the bigger studio and it fitted both my check boxes of a balcony and a mirror (although very small) by the bed. As for the girls, there is one guy at the hotel reception at night and thats the only soul one would cross while taking a girl in. While the hotel rule is that you need to come down if you call in a girl (say from a Mango or a gogo girl you call in daytime) you have to go down to the reception and get her in; I got around 4 girls to come in like this. Each time I got and call in my room, told them I was in the shower, confirmed the name of the girl and they sent her up. I did not go down to get the girl a single time! And it is around a relatively quiet area, just the way I like it. Thanks Bunky for your help.

[QUOTE=Bunky; 1445821]As Mr. Bumpo cogently observes, the general rule is that the folks in the hotels near Soi Cowboy and Nana Plaza have long since become inured to the punter scene. That said, like Mr. Kumbu I try to maintain a low profile and I've found several hotels where that's easily accomplished.

I'm considering Grand President Bangkok in Soi 11. Reasonable choice dear gentlemen?

The location is great. I stayed at the President Palace, which is just up the street and I highly recommend it. I only walked through the lobby of the Grand President and it seemed fine. I have not seen the rooms though.

[QUOTE=Zimmerbaby;1446221]I'm considering Grand President Bangkok in Soi 11. Reasonable choice dear gentlemen?[/QUOTE]I agree with Xiphoris that the location is great. It's right on Soi 11, just up the street from Climax, about 5 minutes walk from the Nana BTS. Soi 11 is a good soi to be on because there is Climax and QBar, it is a short walk or mototaxi to NEP, and likewise to Asoke. It's very central.

If you plan to do Climax regularly, I would choose Soi 11. If you plan NEP, there are closer hotels, but it is a very convenient taxi hop (or walk) over to soi 11 (the traffic patterns are just right for getting back quickly). But it is a little more of a pain getting back from Asoke (too many right turns, or navigating through back streets). So if you plan to mainly frequent Cowboy, I would think about getting a place closer to Asoke.

So location is overall very good. The downside is the quality of the hotel. I can't say anything about the service, but when I did a tour of the hotel a few years back (scouting for future visits) , I was not terribly impressed with the rooms or elevators. The hotel is old, and the elevators really tell that story. The rooms themselves have not been updated. It has a very 1970s motif. The tiles, the fixtures, the built-in shelving, etc. If you read recent online reviews you will get that same sense, so I don't think things have improved since I saw it. For that reason, even though I love soi 11 and the location, I will not stay there.

Alternatives in that same area, which are better quality (but more money too) are Fraser Sukhumvit Suites (a little further up the soi, stayed there many times, it's great) , as well as Aloft (never stayed there, it's kind of new).

I just find it to be a good mongeralternativ for my P4P girls and why change something still working good for me. I live far more upscale when dealing with regular none P4P girls though. GP is Centraly located and rooms in tower 1 and 3 are modernized. They did start with suites in tower 2 in beginning of June. Spacy suites (tower 2) with kitchenette, runs for a decent price from around 2K. I stayed there now maby 30 times or so. I use Climax a lot and we have now also BASH across the street (next to Australian pub) with even more freelancepussy. Better hotels in the area no question, but it is decent value for money and girls can come and go as they like. Easy pisy.

Grand President is an extremely popular hotel with mongers. It has seen better days decor wise but the rooms have been updated (apparently Tower 2 is in process). I share a two bedroom suite in Tower 3 with my wingman and it is great although we want to find a different 2 bedroom, two bath suite this trip. GP is the only hotel I know of that has two bedroom suites with a King bed in each bedroom.

For Zimmerbaby unless your looking for a 5 star hotel, stay at Grand Prez. Easy walk to Nana, Biergarden, Soi 7/1, BTS entrance. Can walk to Cowboy but I prefer taxi or BTS. Breakfast at GP is excellent, lots of freelancers nearby on Sukhumvit, some on Soi 11 from time to time. If you miss American food, Soi 11 has several American restaurants. The FL discos (not my scene) are right next to the hotel too. I also find the side of Sukhumvit Road with odd numbered sois to be preferable.

GP is highly recommended by me. If you must have newer, Aloft on Soi 11 gets good reviews but I still recommend GP over Aloft.

Thanks to everyone who responded to my inquiry about the walk of shame. I *almost* booked Phachara Suites, but then got cold feet.

I've now found a good deal on the Grand Millenium, and it is a toss up between that and Aloft on Soi 11 (I love the idea of being on Soi 11). Can anyone compare the two in terms of quality of lodging? I know both are girl friendly, but how do the rooms compare? How to the bath situations compare?

I've stayed at the Grand Millenium (I think it was their Deluxe Room, which is the basic one) , and the walk-in shower was fine (not terribly big) , the bath was huge (though I never use that) , and the room was fine. So if anyone can compare the GM Deluxe room to an Aloft room, I would be most appreciative.

Be honest. Does it really matter where you stay once you agree location, location, location. $10 / night here and there is irrelevant (2 lady drinks). Bluntly I go to Trip Advisor.

And do a minimum amount of research and then book. Takes five minutes and I can devote my time to planning the punting.
