[QUOTE=BrandNewMonge;2979767]Does anyone know if the new Hyatt Place at Sukhumvit 1 is guest friendly?
And please suggest any hotel / serviced apartments nearby within $100, the only requirements being cleanliness and fast, stable wifi. Gym and pool being cherries on the cake.
TIA.
BNM.[/QUOTE]Did you visited the hotel? I thinking about the same hotel as of its good location.
Greetings!
I'll be arriving at Bangkok in about 1 week, already booked a room at Ruamchitt Hotel, but, since my arrival will be early in the morning, and the check-in starts only at 2 PM, I will need a cheap place just for a quick shuteye for some hours. Already googled some options, but would like to know if you fellow mongers have any recommendations. Thanks and advance! Can't wait to begin my reports!
I've done this in many countries around the world.
If you are arriving at say, 7:00 am on Thursday and don't want to wait 6-7 hours for your room to be ready, try booking the same room on Wednesday as well. Then tell the hotel you will be checking in late, really late, for your Wednesday stay. It's probably not too expensive to do this and will save you the hassle of finding a short-stay room.
Some hotels (not sure about those in Bangkok) will also sell you an early check-in for about a half-day's rent.
I suggest you start by asking your current hotel for options.
Finally, I am sure there are shot-time hotels near Soi Cowboy and Nana. One of those could be a good back up plan if your hotel can't accommodate your early arrival.

[/QUOTE]My normal Bangkok hotel does this, but it is on an "as available" basis. It cannot be reserved.

Arranged in advance early checkin from 0800 for half daily rate. Late check out to 1800 also available.
I have noticed that the airport Novotel has switched and become a Hyatt.
They used to have a 24 hour from check-in to check-out policy. Interested to know if the Hyatt is the same.
With what I now know about Thai Friendly I do not think it would be hard to arrange a visitor for one night.

And yes I did bring my thai GF to come stay with me there. They'd check her ID sometimes but that was it.

Any recent experiences on being guest friendly? I saw on the forum and other sources it was but I contacted them about being BYOB and the guest policy. I asked twice and they refused to answer on the guest policy. So I'm curious if something changed.

I brought back some girls from Thermae (walk is less than 5 minutes and the girls never had an issue with it). I also ordered some outcall and the lobby called me on hotel phone, and then let them come up without me needing to come down. No issues at all.

This is Thailand, and I've never heard of that happening here.
Is March Hotel guest friendly? Anyone has stayed there before? TIA.
[QUOTE=Werqweq;2982910]Where? This is Thailand, and I've never heard of that happening here.[/QUOTE]My thoughts too.
Never would happen in a non Muslim country or area. Possibly some muslim province in the south of Thailand or Malaysia or Indonesia.
