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.[/QUOTE]Aloft Hotel in Soi 11 has some connecting rooms.
[QUOTE=RoamingViking;2752033]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.[/QUOTE]I think a lot of people don't want to deal with the hassle of actually staying on Soi 4.
[QUOTE=GrapeMan;2752383]I think a lot of people don't want to deal with the hassle of actually staying on Soi 4.[/QUOTE]20 years ago an Isaan lady friend of mine was to meet her yet unseen fiancé from America. Based on price and proximity to the USA embassy, my friend reserved a room at Nana Hotel. Being an Isaan good girl, she had no idea of the nature of that corner in Bangkok. So there they were, an American construction worker and his uninformed Isaan fiancee meeting for the first time at hooker central. She told me that he couldn't keep his eyes off the girls, nevertheless, she came to USA and they married and stayed together for life.
I am posting this at the request of another forum member on the Bangkok Reports forum. I have stayed at Sukhumvit Suites many times. It's a good budget hotel with an outstanding Terminal 21/ Soi Cowboy / MRT / BTS location. The Superior rooms are smaller but very modern. The only downside to the superior rooms is they don't have a handy place to store your suitcase (s) The deluxe rooms are older but much larger. You will always get their lowest rate by either walking in or calling the hotel directly when you are in Bangkok. The rates on their website are often much higher than the walk in or telephone rates.
I would definitely recommend this hotel.

So long.[/QUOTE]Amazing location, great value, nice pool, but, you have to not mind sleeping with cockroaches 🪳 yes even in the newly renovated rooms, been known for years, and if you still want to stay their after knowing about cockroaches zip tight all of your belongings, if not you will be bringing many roaches with you in your bags! For me I worked to hard in life to be sleeping with cockroaches! Hope this helps.
I stayed at the Column Bangkok Hotel and liked it.

Pros:
Good location, one block from Asok station (Terminal 21 mall) and Soi Cowboy.
24/7 Foodland downstairs, a diner and grocery / convenience store.
Girl-friendly, they don't ask anything at the front desk.
Big, clean rooms, with a washer / dryer in-room.
Reasonable cost, about $60 USD per night.
Housekeeping is super responsive.
Breakfast buffet is good.
Cons:
They only give you 2 bath towels, but you can always request more.
Only 3 working elevators, so sometimes there is a wait.
[QUOTE=Ry2510;2761804]Hi guys, just want to enquire about any good condo near nana and Asok? Are they guest friendly and any suggestions. ?
Cheers.[/QUOTE]Besides condos, I'd suggest considering "Serviced Apartments". Step up from a hotel ROOM, step down from a full condo. Prime example from personal use (full disclosure. This info is OLD, archeologist old, but did put up friends there 10 years ago), Royal President, Sukhumvit Soi 15. A studio had a large bed (queen / king), dining table and chairs, sofa, couple of sitting chairs, FULL size refrigerator, microwave, plates, glasses, utensils. Room was serviced several times a week. Basically, it's for long term stays but they rent out the spares in days / weeks. Pool. They were guest friendly (discreet guests), leave ID at front desk. Far enough down Soi 15 to lose Sukhumvit's noise, just a couple of minutes walk to Sukhumvit. Thermae is right there. In fact, the back door to Thermae (still exists?) exited to a hotel parking lot and Soi 15. So not a condo with full kitchen; no in room laundry facilities, but a really nice step up from a [I]standard[/I] hotel room. I mention the Royal President as an EXAMPLE of serviced apartments. Google it and see what they (specific and serviced apartments in general) offer.

Anyone have suggestions on a very quiet hotel in Bangkok? Doesn't have to be near the action, but I am a terrible sleeper and basically need a place that is silent. Hard to really filter searches for places that are quiet and soundproofed well, so would love input from those who similarly appreciate their quiet lodging.

Heard conflicting reports on Galleria 10.
Some say still ok some say starting to show age and upkeep not good.
Any recent stayers?
Have done a search on here.
Appreciate.

Either they are directed straight on the bed or they are too powerful and thus make a lot of noise.
Lately I was forced to move in a 5 star hotel (Radisson blu, soi 27, near from Asok) for two nights, and out of for hotels that I've tried during this trip (others were only 4 stars around 50 dollars per night), it's the only one that I would recommend you.
It all depends on your budget, right now they are at around a hundred dollars per night. But they've got the best air condition, and you don't hear anything from the outside when you're in the room.

I mention the Royal President as an EXAMPLE of serviced apartments. Google it and see what they (specific and serviced apartments in general) offer.[/QUOTE]This is good advice for guys who prefer a slightly more spacious place to stay. Here are three more places with a serviced apartment setup. You could also call them all-suite hotels.
SHAMA SUKHUMVIT. My go-to place, mostly because it's so convenient to Nana Entertainment Plaza and the surrounding area. Main entrance is on Soi 2, just south of the Marriott. But you can go out the back door, cut through the parking lot and through a little alley connecting to the west side of Soi 4 just south of Fitzgeralds Pub. The one bedroom suite at the Shama features a large kitchen, a washing machine and a small balcony good for drying clothes but not much more. The bedroom has a king sized bed that wasn't too Thai hard, a big dresser and a smallish closet. The bathroom has a tub and a separate walk-in shower that features really hot water at great pressure. Plus two bath robes, which the girls seemed to love. Rooftop pool is offers a nice view. The Shama is a quiet place that seemed to be popular with travelers from the Gulf states, many of them families. At night the lobby is dead still and they will insist on having your "guest" register. The process is a little more formal than other places I've stayed. You two actually sit down across the desk from the girl filling out the paperwork. No hassle or judgment. But they do observe the formalities. Can't speak to the breakfast because I never got up that early. But the pub grub at Fitzgeralds is good and before COVID there was a great som tam cart nearby.
PARKROYAL SUITES. Formerly the Phachara Suites. Slightly farther from Nana Plaza, but still walkable if your girl isn't a princess. (If she is, the tuk tuk fare is reasonable.) The suites at the Parkroyal have bigger balconies and they're slightly larger than at the Shama. EASY walk to the Nana BTS, passing by a 7-11 that's very close to the hotel. Kitchen features a washer and the balconies have a bit of a city and skyline view. Lobby is smallish and usually crowded, so I had no trouble quickly escorting my guest straight to the elevator. Bathrooms have a separate tub and shower like the Shama, but the hot water supply and pressure are nowhere near as generous. Can't speak to the pool or breakfast.
ADMIRAL PREMIER. If you prefer to stay near Soi Cowboy, this is a good option. The suites are comparable to the Shama and the Parkroyal. The rooftop pool has a spectacular view of the area around the Asok BTS station. The neighborhood is much quieter than the area around Nana, and the Admiral Premier is about a block away from Soi 23. The walk to Soi Cowboy isn't a long one, but parts of it aren't lighted well at night and sometimes there aren't many people out and about. The curbs and pavement can be uneven in spots. I didn't mind, but when I had a girl in tow we hopped in a tuk tuk at the east end of Soi Cowboy.
Bunky
I stayed at the Novotel Suk 4 near Nana Plaza. It's girl friendly and the building is shared with the Ibis Styles. When I brought back a girl, reception didn't even look up. If you are bring back two girls and want to be on the safe side, you could bring one girl through the Novotel side then come back for the other girl and come through the Ibis side. Once past reception on both sides you will take the same elevators whether you check in with Novotel or Ibis.
