Majestic Grande

[Big_H]

Hi guys,

 

On my last trip to BKK I stayed at this hotel & fund it very agreeable, the hotel is just across the car park of the Raja hotel from Soi Nana (walking or staggering distance)

 

 

The rooms are very comfortable

 

 

& there is plenty of space for those overnight guests just as long as they leave thier ID at the desk there is no extra charge

 

 

 

 

I will be back in BKK in early September but this time at the CitiChic, does anyone know how it will compare?

 

thanks

 

Harry

Thanks for posting.

I have stayed at both the Grande and at Citichic. I think you will like Citi, while not as nice as the Grande you are saving about $30 bucks a night. The rooms are a decent size and have free wifi which was a plus (If I remember, I think the Grande wanted 200 baht an hour for wifi) The pool is a lot smaller than the Grande but good for a afternoon dip. The location of Citi isn't as convinient as the Grande, but they have a free tuk tuk to take you down to Sukumvit, and if you are interested in the Q bar or Bed Supperclub, they are both right around the corner.

I have stayed at Maj Grande twice in the last 2years and it's a very nice hotel. Guest friendly, good location, nice rooms and good buffet breakfast. But it's currently abouty 3000 baht a night for cheapest room. So lately I have been using Majestic Suites which is down the road, has an even better location for Nana and BTS etc and is half the price. I find that when I am in BKK, I don't spend that much time in my room, so I prefer to skimp a bit here. But when I am in Phuket / Pattaya I go for a more expensive place because I will use the pool and facilities more.

 

If I were you I would try Maj Grande this trip, then next trip Maj Suites and decide.

 

About 3 mins walk from Maj Grande is Hilary pool bar. Go past Rajah and turn right past the car park and it's there. Same Soi as Nana Plaza. Nice and friendly and some decent pool players get in there. Full size american tables, not coin operated. Food's not bad either.

Hi I am booked in here 3-5th Oct and got a rate of 1600Bht. Thanks for the review it looks good. Think I chose it for its location and the reviews on this and other forums.

 

One comment though..the taxi service they have from the airport is a rip off.1800Bht for a 450Bht trip..I know most of the hotel pick ups cost a lot but this seemed excessive when you can get a meter cab for less than that for bkk to pattaya.

 

By the way, the first girl in your photo is sooooo hot...where did you meet her?

Is the 1600 Bht for the Maj Grande or Maj Suites ? If it's Maj Grande please tell me where you got this rate..............

 

From Suvarnambumi it should be aroung 350-400 baht in a metered taxi. I normally beat the queues by going up the stairs to departures and jump in a taxi that has just dropped someone off.

I have tried all three of the following Dynasty Grande Soi 6 , Majestic Suites and Majestic Grande . Personally I prefer the Dynasty grande newer hotel plus large rooms same distance as majestic Grande to nana but a whole lot cheaper. However have heard good reports about the Adephi hotel in Soi 8. Might give it a try. Always loking out for new inexpensive hotels in the area.

I always stay at the Dynasty Inn Grandee but hope to try CitiChic on my next trip as it had some good reviews from some BM in the know.

Can someone tell me where the Majestic SUITES are?

[Hardeep J]

the majestic grande is owned by the same people who own the majestic suites on soi 4. the grande is a nice hotel that i enjoyed staying in, but as i only spend time sleeping in hotels, i would rather stay at the majestic suites.

 

by the way if your staying at the majestic suites, you can use the majestic grande's gym, free of charge. just let the reception staff know that you want to use it, and they issue you with a ticket.

 

hope this helps

this is the best bit of advice anybody can give someone thats just arrived into suvarnambumi airport. head for the lift and go to depatures and hail a meter taxi. do not get into a bartering war with the cabbie, just tell him in a firm way to put the meter on.

There is one niggle with Majestic Suites - it is right on Sukhumvit Road and there is nowhere for the taxi to stop safely and drop you off as the traffic is intense. So you are better directing the taxi to the forecourt of the nearby Nana hotel where you can alight in safety. It's 100 yards to the Maj Suites but the other side of Soi Nana. Similar routine when you are leaving. You are better off picking up a taxi at the Nana hotel.

i always tell the driver to drop me off at 'the landmark' hotel and make the few minutes walk to the Majestic's, but your right, you can tell him to drop you off at the nana hotel. which ever is convenient for you.
