Bangkok Hotels

[QUOTE=Rodwint2;2308586]Has anyone stayed at this hotel on Soi 11? It appears that it has gone through renovations recently and the photos look good. Also, the recent reviews on Trip Advisor are good compared to my old hotel, the Grand President. Any comments would be greatly appreciated.[/QUOTE]I stayed in Citadines Soi 11 around 2 years back for 10 days. It was pleasant, apartment style rooms and no restriction on the number of girls you can bring. I am not sure about recent renovations or in comparison with Grand President.

Any thoughts on the FuramaXclusive Asoke hotel? Granted it is right next to Asok station rather than in between Asok and Nana but seems to tick everything I want with a bathtub, pool (albeit small from the looks of it) and a fitness centre.

Ha ha. Rooms not that spacious and lacking wardrobe space, is my only negative memory. Fine if you don't need large rooms. There will be old reports about this Hotel in the thread, even from me.

Also Asoke is a high traffic jam street at certain times of day. Probably not too big an issue unless you are taking a lot of taxis in day time or early evening.

To go from Nana Plaza back to your Hotel, you want to cross over Sukhumvit road first and catch taxi near Soi 5.

In opposite direction might be worth crossing Asoke first at the 7-eleven to catch a taxi, to save you-turn problems. Or motorcycle is a good option (though back sois if necessary).

Very nice rooms, good beds. Girl friendly with room call to check after leaving. Breakfast I had once and was good enough for me. I liked the sliding screen between bedroom and lounge area. Bathroom not the biggest with tub not walk in (in studio) but quite satisfactory.

After reading couple of reviews on the forum, I decided to pre-book the hotel through their Website. Being a member of the chain I got good deal online. The property is right on the corner end ofSsukhmivit 11 near the 2 buzzing nightclubs Insanity & levels. Both were on my list. They do have shuttle (tuk-tuk) till Nana BST.

The location is super close to NEP, Tharmae, eating joints & nightclubs. This place has basic buffet breakfast setup on lower level of the property. This property is a non smoking property.

It's a super girl friendly property. I had girls from Tharmae, Insanity, absolutely no issues while taking them up to the room. The elevators are accessible with the room keys only so you will have to come down to receive your guest.

Rooms a spacious and comfortable if you are Travelling solo. Bathrooms are well equipped with all the basics amenities. No bathtubs although.

Do read my FR in BKK reports section in coming days.

Is this hotel guest friendly? Was thinking of staying here but couldn't find information about whether or not this was guest friendly or not.

Thanks.

Thanks.[/QUOTE]No problems at all however depending on the time of day or night they may hold her ID at the desk if they have security in the lobby.

I'm staying at Fraser Suites, soi 11.

The room I'm staying in is one bedroom with balcony. It seems these rooms are recently renovated. About a 10 minute walk to sukhumwit road. The hotel has tuk tuk service to the main road but tuk tuk is never available and there is no scheduled time.

Hotel is girl friendly hotel. Elevator is accessible by key card.

Some really budget Hotels tried this year (possibly all were no smoking. I don't smoke and don't know). Smokers might need a balcony:

* Feliz Apartments. Soi 69 very near to Phrakhanong BTS - 1400 Baht per night (or was it 1600? forgot) extreme value for money. Apartment has kitchen, microwave, washing machine, etc. , large fridge, very modern, balcony, bathroom probably small (no bath) but good. No faults other then room key left me no clue as to which floor I was staying on Ha ha, and did not even show the full room number (just last two digits). Bed comfortable.

* Sakura Sky. Soi 33 - around the 1000 Baht mark for double room. Room is large for low price but thecor attempts style for Japanese customers but is damaged. Again value for money. The huge weakness is big gap under the door. Noise in the Hotel travels such as Thai couple on a naughty, squabbling down the hallway. The girl got shut out of the room without her phone etc. Conversation in Thai but I understand all too well. Hotel management seemed reluctant to do anything. No Bouncers or security staff I guess. No swimming pool? Some backpackers stay in dormitory section and there exist also capsule rooms. Bed mattress slightly on the hard side. Noise the big weakness (and unrepaired damage). Has a bath (big deal).

* EM33 on Sukhumvit road near to Soi 33. Price just over 1 K. Very basic room for the dcor but okay Bathroom pipes have odour. Small fridge, no Breakfast available to my knowledge. Staff willing to microwave my food at reception. Reasonable value.

* Case Study. Near to Petchburi MRT in small Soi of Asoke. Easy Motorcycle ride to get to Sukhumvit (or MRT if traffic jam). No elevator, no daily room clean, but good standard room, long and skinny room. Bathroom good. Very Quiet location. About 1200 Baht per night. Reception is caf downstairs and only open Caf hours. They probably won't know how many girls take to the room at night. Ha ha. Can collect some spare towels yourself. Small fridge but has a small freezer. Bed comfortable.

* Studio Asoke, near Pullman Hotel in Asoke. Close to cowboy 1125 Baht at the time. Good sized room. Thecor very basic, damage not repaired. Was in room at back 4th floor so not that noisy other than distant motorbike roar. Medium fridge 4 ft tall with freezer. Bed very comfortable. Space to store your stuff so room not cramped. Big weakness is lack of power points. Bathroom has no inside power socket at all. One just outside around the corner. Wasn't originally a Hotel. Even desk lamp is not running because there is no power point available (used by TV and Cable TV box). Ha ha. Naturally everyone has adapters and power boards, right? At least the international travellers should have. So lack of power sockets easily solved by unplugging the TV and plugging in my universal double adapter and also a power board with several sockets. I have too many adapters for various countries. Very convenient location. Sukhumvit MRT is directly across the road. Easy walk to BTS and Cowboy. I would probably stay there more if wasn't booked out. A low floor near to Asoke road (if that exists) might be noisy. Has no bath. Why would one need that? 300 Baht key deposit. No smoking.

My favourite choices would probably be Feliz Apartments (classy) if one can stand to be located at Soi 69 (Thais can't pronounce Feliz so not sure what they call it), right on the BTS though, and 2nd Studio Asoke if one does not mind no kitchen (low class but practical) - shortage of power points the main fault noticed.

When I wanted a Hotel Room to impress the girl (ha ha), Column Hotel is my favourite, very classy, but price not too ridiculous (at the time). I don't stay expensive much any more in Bangkok. I stay in 3000 to 5000 Baht Hotels OS for work but don't see the need here, just to lie in a bed or sit at a desk. Keep money to spend on girls. ha ha. Good aircon, comfortable and good Fridge matter. I don't see any need to try to impress hookers by staying in a more expensive room. They would much rather receive a cash bonus from me, and I rarely do LT anyway.
