Bangkok Hotels

Just back from BKK. Stayed in three hotels.

First I spent 6 nights at Galleria on Soi 10. I stayed here pre-covid in 2019 and was very satisfied. I like the fact that it's just off the main street of Sukhumvit with not much else down there. , so pretty quiet. And a 2 min walk to Suk and Nana BTS. Pretty good buffet breakfast, pool on roof, decent beds, bathrooms.

For my return to BKK I booked my final 5 nights at Citrus on Soi 13. This is OK. The buffet a little weaker than Galleria but not bad. I checked out after one night, however, due to the pillows being much too thick for sleep, and no alternative being found. The reception asked the sister hotel for a slimmer pillow but none was forthcoming.

After leaving Citrus, I checked into CitiChic, a hundred meters down the street. Little did I know it is the 'sister' hotel of Citrus. Fortunately the pillows come in two sizes. Very friendly receptionist. Rooms OK. No breakfast here though. Nice pool on roof. This place is on the T junction which leads to the top of Soi 11, so super-convenient for the decent Villa supermarket (and Havana Social Club, a new favourite).

Can anyone provide some insights for Skyview Hotel in Sukhumvit? Doesn't look that expensive for a 5 star hotel. Is it any good?

Is the location convenient?

Also, how easily can I bring in girls with me and call for escorts to my room?

I have not been there since Nov 2019 stupid covid! But back in DEC last trip got a real beauty from Crazy House. She wanted to walk there from soi cowboy. You do not even have to go through reception to get to your rooms. Just the smile of the guard at the door. Beds there are great. And nice mirror above the beds.

Walked across the street to Big see and bought a slim pillow for 79 baht.

I then stayed at SiamSiam a second time and this time two of the four pillows were slimmer so apparently they inadvertently gave me four thick pillows my first time there.

LOL they were down to zero zero customer service before closing!

I have only stayed there once, about 3 years ago, and I believe I paid something between 2500 to 3000 per night. I cannot recall exactly. Could have been a promo.

Novotel and ibis styles.

Both are in the same tower on soi 4 . Great location for action in the street. But it's hell trying to get taxi or grab and the wait is for very. Both are girl friendly as nearly all hotels in bkk but every so often the sign some girls in and some not.

Ibis regular.

Very basic but clean. The building is showing it's age but the price so super cheap. Worth staying a night or two because near the action but not more than that.

You don't stay on soi 4 to relax.

At the time, it had very good conditions, a quiet street, and so close from all the action in Soi 4, it's difficult to ask for more. A little bit out of my budget for a long stay, but since most of my time was spent in Pattaya, through the years I stayed countless times at Dinasty Grande. About the price, if you put their promotion code, price goes to around 1. 700 Baht, much cheaper than Booking and in the past.

Also looking at CNC residence.

Possibly staying at CNC residence in apartments. In Sukhumvit 33.

Any feedback on it?

Girl friendly, etc?

2 seniors want to stay near Sukhumvit 5 star. Need 2 bed rooms and 2 bath rooms. Can find only JW Marriott. Anybody have experience / suggestions. Just want to make sure before planning trip.

Hi all, l I have stayed in Nana many times and wonder why no one comments on this hotel. Comfortable rooms and decent food. Not overly expensive around 1500 baht. I have never had any issues.

So long.

In Bangkok Fraser Suites Soi 11, Column Hotel Soi 16, Grand Sukhumvit by Accor Soi 6, Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit on Sukhumvit, Marriott Executive Apartments Sukhumvit Park all have 2 bed, 2 baths. These places are expensive.

You might want to look into hotels with connecting rooms as well. They are usually cheaper than 2 bedroom suites. On8 (great Soi 8 location) and Sheraton Four Points Soi 15 have connecting rooms. I'm sure there are many others but I haven't found them yet.

I'm hoping others will respond to your question since many of us travel with wingmen.
