Bangkok Hotels

[QUOTE=Bunky; 1560238]If you liked Citadines on Soi 23 for the location and the extra space (and refrigerator) found in a serviced apartment, you should consider the Admiral Premier. It's a few steps farther from Soi Cowboy, but the accommodations are very nice indeed.

Bunky[/QUOTE]thanks B.

I think I have been there, very close.

Is it the one that if you stand in front of the desk you will find: elevator on the right, entrance on the left and bar behind you (across the lobby)? And a tuktuk can drop you around.

It is ok too.

Thanks

Bunky[/QUOTE]Yes I agree. Admiral Premier is a very popular Hotel these days, and I like it much more than Citadines 23. First recommended to the ISG by my close buddy "Mick Licker" a few years back. Several Japanese guys live at AP permanently, due to good standard. The room is bigger, staff nicer and more helpful, and I like having a kitchenette with full sized fridge and good freezer. Beds not as hard as Citadines. The staff seem to be quite okay with turning up at night with multiple girls on the arm. The walk of no shame.

The AP weakness is the bathroom is pokey and shower (over bath) water will spill out onto the bathroom floor. I move the bathmat to just outside the bathroom when showering. If bathroom was better designed, this would really be a top Hotel. Breakfast is adequate, nothing special, but I think slightly better than Citadines B / F.

AP is popular so not always having cheap prices available these days. Can be full due to Group Tours using it. If you want to pay a bit more and get really excellent, I like Grand Mercure on Soi 19 (sometimes they have special price). Silq on Soi 19 is also good.

Right now I live at On Nut in a non serviced apartment. Unfortunately drawback of this is roadwork on Sukhumvit late at night currently causing traffic jams, if I miss the last BTS run. Might be better to move to Thonglor area (and be close to all those MPs).

[QUOTE=Tits_Lover;1560058]I used to visit Citadines (serviced apartments at soi 23) which I liked a lot[/QUOTE]Just for info, one can get 30% off best flex rate at Citadines till the end of 2014 by signing up for on their website (Ascott's) , yielding a THB1190++ rate for their 28sqm basic studio ($42 / day all in) , less than the $47++ on most booking engines.

The place is not very atmospheric, but certainly good value.

I agree Admiral Premier is a very good choice.

Just wondering, besides Admiral Premier, are there any hotels who offer balconies?

Thanks 4 tip

Hi,

I had the chance to visit Bangkok recently, and I stayed at the iCheck Inn Nana.

Here's the mini-FR for those interested.

Room Quality: The hotel is newly constructed and it shows. Everything is neat and shiny. Its tiny but very modern. The King size bed that I had would easily accommodate 2 people, maybe even 3. The bathroom is spotless and very cozy. The cutest part of the room IMO is that the bathroom and the bedroom are separated not by a wall but by a glass sheet. So if you bring a girl, you can watch her take a bath. In case, privacy is required, a simple rolling blind is also installed. The room which I had, had no view as the window looked over another building but that is hardly a con in my mind. The AC was good and in 10-15 mins the rooms got chilly.

Location: Smack in the middle of Nana. It is right next door to Dr. BJ, Eden Club etc.

Food: The hotel doesn't have its own restaurant but the Nana area is chock full of nice places to eat at.

Service: The reception girls are very friendly and speak english very well. They also upgraded my room room for free. Early checkin is also available for 500B extra.

Extras: It has free wifi. It is girl friendly. Heck the hotel advertisements even say that "Only adults are allowed". It is a hotel mainly catering to mongers.

Cost: 1300B per day. Booked via Agoda. The in room beverages are decently priced and I paid 80B for a Singha can.

WIR: Yes. Without doubt. This is my favorite hotel right now. When I return to TH in a few months, I will again stay here. I will also highly recommend this place to people who are going there mainly for mongering.

[QUOTE=Lord Necros;1561455]Location: Smack in the middle of Nana. It is right next door to Dr. BJ, Eden Club etc.[/QUOTE]Its lucky you qualified that. Nana is actually the name (part of it) for Sois 3 and 4. Nana BTS station is named after those Sois but is not actually at those Sois. There isn't officially any Nana district in Bangkok other than Sois 3, and 4.

Many BTS Stations are named after a nearby cross Soi, e. G. Asoke, Phrom Phong, Thonglor, Ekamai, etc.

So Your Hotel is in the sort of "walk of shame" Soi. You cannot go through Soi 7/1 without numerous girls calling you for massage / fuck. There are also hookers hanging around the Subway shop, and guys with massage glossies at the Soi entrance. Its all a bit seedy. Maybe its slightly too close to Dr. BJ. All Dr. BJ girls would see me pass every day, if I stayed there, and know my movements well. LOL Gossip gossip! Okay if in totally Monger mode, I guess.

It similar to Annies girls knowing I am around, if staying at the Majestic Grande.

[QUOTE=Syzygies;1561722]So Your Hotel is in the sort of "walk of shame" Soi.[/QUOTE]Aint no walk of shame if you got none!

I went to TH to get laid and damned well I am going to relive my porn dreams.


[QUOTE=Syzygies;1561722]Maybe its slightly too close to Dr. BJ..[/QUOTE]
It is actually the building next door to DrBJ. So whenever you get bored, you can go down to the lounge to get coffee or next door to get your knob polished.

[QUOTE=Syzygies;1561722]It similar to Annies girls knowing I am around, if staying at the Majestic Grande.[/QUOTE]Now the "canteen" is no more on the street front.

[QUOTE=BionicMan;1561849]Now the "canteen" is no more on the street front.[/QUOTE]I haven't looked in at Annies for a few months, can you explain better what has changed.

Hello guys,

I will be staying for one week at Centara hotel at Central World. How is the scene there. Would I be able to bring a girl to my room. What about the rooftop bar, anything goes on there?

Cheers

I will be staying a week later this month and I normally stay at the Grand President on Soi 11 for the last four years. I have heard mixed reviews lately on the condition of the rooms and the service staff. I was looking around and saw that the Adelphi was available and was wondering what anyone's recent experiences have been at that hotel. Thank you for your comments and advice.

[QUOTE=Rodwint2;1562179]the Adelphi was available and was wondering what anyone's recent experiences have been at that hotel. Thank you for your comments and advice.[/QUOTE]Stayed in November last year and is my normal place of choice. Guest friendly (although only ever had one at a time) ok breakfast buffet but monsoon restaurant is pretty good, always had deluxe or exec suite which are nice and big, bathroom has separate tub and big shower (room for 2!) and a 7-11 almost next door. Will stay there this October.
