[QUOTE=Radpoker;1723141]Do you know? Looks nice.[/QUOTE]Le Fenix is on the guest friendly hotel lists.
I did stay there and Hotel & staff were excellent.
It is indeed girl friendly and if you trust the girls, you can take directly to your room without being frisked by security or Reception. Reception in 1st floor and taking lift from ground directly to your room's floor. In fact Last time, I took 2 girls with me. LOL.
Also nest rooftop bar is good with nice music and sometimes we can find few high class FL.
Cheers

Have to say I really liked this cheap hotel option. Room was huge, well lit, had a large fridge freezer combo, stove top, microwave, water kettle, free breakfast and many tuktuks that would take you up and town. Negatives are the shower and temp of the water, distance from nana and bra. But ID stay there again if I got the same type of room.
I was very impressed by the size of the lobby and the rooftop pool, too bad the room didn't live up to expectations. The Aspen suites was a much better room to relax. They didn't ask for girls ID but it was a long wdlk past reception. And its location halfway between nana and cowboy rules out the use of the the bts.
I am expecting to arrive at the airport at 7 AM and wondering what to do after a long inter continental flight. The hotel I am staying in is $100 a night so don't want to waste that much for just few hours. On the other hand I will be tired, a bit of sleep after shower and be / fast would be ideal before hitting action in evening.
How do you guys manage early morning touch downs? Is there a decent and cheap hotel near airport or in city one can use to get bit of sleep and not worry too much about money?

But for my next trip, I have payed that extra night, so that the room is ready and I can do just what ever I want and start my holiday relaxed. I think that it is worth it.

If it's a $100 a night hotel, it should have a gym or health club or swimming pool. Tell them why you want to shave and shower (long flight) since it's not an unreasonable request. Since you'll be a guest, the hotel should allow you to use those facilities so have your toiletries and fresh clothes easily accessible.
The hotel might also have a spa or massage parlor.
If all that fails, do what I've done. Sleep in the lobby and SNORE. That motivates the hotel to get your room ready and available for an early check-in.

A couple of things come to mind. First, you can book the "first night" -- your arrival morning-- at a much more modestly priced hotel, like one of the Citadines. Check out LateStays dot com for options. Just be sure to send an email explaining that you will not arrive until the morning. This is what I do, when arriving transPacific. Another option is to check out the Louis Tavern in Suvarnabumi. The facility is inside the airport, inside immigration, so it may not work if you've got check luggage. I've never tried it, but friends say it's ok for a 4 hour layover--shower, shave, change clothes, get a nap. The nearby hotels are really not that cheap, compared to the 3-star facilities in downtown. Let us know what happens. TTG.

But, if I recall, it was not cheap for what it is. Here are some reviews and information.

[QUOTE=Omigawd;1724991]How do you guys manage early morning touch downs? [/QUOTE]I am sure most hotels are used to dealing with early morning guest arrivals as most of the flight from Europe arrive at this time. They might have a policy already in place to deal with this. You should contact them and ask.
The hotel I usually stay at in Bangkok will let me check-in early in the morning for no extra charge. Quite convenient; and helps keep me as a repeat customer. The other policy they have that I like is a late check-out option. Normal check-out time is 2 pm. Late check-out gives you the option to depart at 8 pm for 50% of the daily rate. Quite convenient for the midnight BKK departures.

Decided to try out this hotel that's right around the corner from soi cowboy. Got one of the only two fantastic rooms at this place, the rooms on the roof with almost an entire wall of windows that open out onto Asok. Very nice large room, the only negative was the bathroom needed a fresh coat of paint. And the elevator is one of those rickity old things that barely gets you up to the 5th floor (then stairs onto the rooftop). But for the location it can't be beat.

I prefer to sleep in a bit nicer accommodations, but that hotel is great for short time sessions. Many times when I am in town on business and don't want my co-workers to see me take a girl to my room, I will book a room at that hotel just for shagging.

Mine was a nice huge brightly lit room (although the tv hardly worked).

If a room is empty, the hotel will probably put you in, if you have a reservation for more than a couple of nights. If not, you can ask if there is an early check in fee. It should not be close to $100.
June is suppose to be the slow season due to the weather being so hot. Hotels are not running too full at this time. A suggestion, check out the Grand President website, they have a 20% off deal if you prepay and you can get a good room rate between $58 to $71 per night all inclusive. I would not chose the standard room (some complaints on them not being kept up or renovated), but the deluxe and junior suite are good deals.
