[QUOTE=Nyezhov;2897097]As I pointed out in another place, the Galleria 10 on soy 10 does not check Girl IDs or even pay attention. It's not a bad place for the money.[/QUOTE]Agree. Stayed there couple of years ago. Also found the pool quite nice (altough small).
[QUOTE=BananaBoi;2896773]I agree I feel it's rare for hotels to ask for a deposit per day. By randomness I was looking for a hotel in Las Vegas the other night and my 4 star hotel that costs an arm and a leg wanted $100 US deposit per night, not per stay. I laughed and thought of this discussion when I saw it. I was going to book it for 14 nights so that would have meant a $1400 US deposit. I know you get the money back but seems ridiculous when I could stay 1 night and completely mess up the room for $100 as much as I could staying 14 nights.[/QUOTE]Golden Gate downtown Negas does charge card $50 a night refundable deposit.
I'm not Brown BTW. LOL. Hahaha.
7 night stay $350 on card as Pending.

Hi,
Been too BKK many times. I have some Bonvoy points burning a hole in my pocket and I'm wondering, which of these 3 hotels you would stay at and why:
Aloft on Sukhumvit 11 (leaning away from this one as soi 11 seems to be a heavy party street).
Sheraton Four Points on Soi 15.
Courtyard by Marriott on Soi 20.
Thanks for your input.
Hotels are becoming pricey. I had booked a few around 1. 5-2 months back, found them a bit higher priced compared to my trip last year but still booked as refundable hoping it will get lower towards the end of March as the high season subsides.
Now when I check the prices they all have gone up by atleast 500 baht per night!

Thanks for your input.[/QUOTE]If you have enough points stay at the Sheraton Grande. Closer to the action. Next door soi cowboy, therme, nana walkable, and asoke station is across street. They upgraded me to suite due to my status when I arrived.
Can't go wrong with any of your choices, but I liked the Sheraton Four Points. Soi 15 is convenient to T21, BTS, & MRT and adjacent to Hooters and The Irish Pub which I visited.
The hotel has a high quality breakfast buffet too, although not as high class as the 5-star hotels. Service is quite efficient and friendly -- always greeted by the door staff.
A friend stayed at the Courtyard by Marriott last month which rebranded and remodeled in 2023. He said he preferred the odd side of Sukhumvit more.

I arrive in Bangkok next week and have booked an hotel for 4 nights.
What's the best way of making further booking for my stay of around 10 more nights?
I could of course use a comparison website eg [URL]Booking.com[/URL] or is a walk up the best tactic for a good price.
Thanks.
Alan.
Looks good. Any recent stays? Any reason NOT to book?
Appreciate.

Alan.[/QUOTE]Check Agoda and locktrip. I don't think the walk up strategy will get you a better price unless you are staying over a month.

[/QUOTE]Agoda is the best for Thailand, but if you're doing 10 more nights, you can consider an Airbnb or something instead of a hotel will be cheaper and probably better. You'll get a whole apartment to yourself for like US $40-$50/ night with kitchen, tv, internet, washer / dryer.
[QUOTE=GrapeMan;2900206]Agoda is the best for Thailand, …[/QUOTE]I cannot disagree, but often a different website will offer much different deals. After I decide on a hotel and room, I will check Agoda, Hotels, Bookings, and Priceline. For my Bangkok hotel next week, Priceline was much cheaper than Agoda so I booked on Priceline. When the itinerary was delivered to me, it was an Agoda itinerary at the substantially lower Priceline price.
Another thought is that it is usually less expensive to pay for breakfast at check-in rather than on the reservation website.
