Please advice me & tell me what hotel I should stay at for 3 or 5 nights ????

 

No budjet just let me know what is in your opinion the best hotel I should stay at to have a good time, a great stay & I am a monger with 2 mates who are also Pro Mongers. HA HA.

I do not want a 5 star hotel, ok.

 

Thanks in advance.

Come on TH, how can we help you with those parameters ? More info please re: price, hood, room size, pool, gym, can walk a bit or need close to action etc. BTW, nothing wrong w/ the Dawin. If were you, I'd pick up a big 3 bdrm on Craigslist. We went that route last year and it was a blast ! wj

Darwin is good stayed there before but what i think is better is the Dynasty Inn Grande

[wimpy]

Why do you not want 5 star hotels, they are the best and that is what you want isn't it?

Just booked heaven@4 for 3 nights early december. Never experienced nana plaza before hence my choice of location but the hotel itself looks v nice. I cant wait to 'test' the room out

[Piece Corp]

Where I usually stay:

 

City Lodge Soi 19, for value and location. Near both MRT and BTS, across the street from the Westin. No pool but a

great value hotel for 1300-1400. Building doesn't look like much from the outside but rooms were renovated a few years

ago, are freshly painted with decent furnishings. Walk-in showers large enough to accommodate myself and two

GoGo girls. Managed by the Amari chain.

 

For a better room but 12-15 minute walk to Sukhumvit: CitiChic hotel on Soi 13. Same owners as Majestic Grande and Majestic Suites. Usually goes for 2500, but can sometimes book a deal for 1800-2000. Just a few blocks from Q-Bar.

 

Little more upscale, Grand Sukhumvit hotel on Soi 6. I usually book some stays in advance when Accor runs a sale (e.g. reserved NYE for 2000). Wouldn't eat at their seafood buffet again, got sick from the raw oysters last time.

 

Have posted many pics from these hotels in the 'smile' thread.

Yep Agree with Piece Corp on the Citichic. Love the place. Stayed in the Accor Grand Mercure Asoke Residence (formerly Sofitel) for about 2000 a few years back. It is guest friendly and the rooms are stunning. Have stayed in probably about 30 different hotels over the years and excluding the 5 star places such as the Oriental, these two for the price were excellent.

There are a plethora of hotels and guest houses in the monger areas.

 

Go to Agoda.com and search,

 

Near Soi Cowboy: Jasmine Executive Suites (great value for the money), guest friendly

Near Nana Plaza: Omni Towers Serviced Apts (big rooms and good value), guest friendly

 

I wouldn't stay near Patpong, but try the Wall Street Inn. I stayed there once and its crap. Just use it to get a map of the other hotels.

 

On Agoda, click on the map of the above hotels and it will display all the hotels nearby. There are literally 25+ in the vicinity.

 

Hope this helps.

5 star hotels are to expensive for me.

 

Yes I love the best but just out of my budjet as I spend the money on the girls & good times.

Nana hotel ???? Thanks but no thanks.

 

Stayed there years back & it was one hell of a top class shit hole.

on8 sukhumvit.... check my review a few posts down.

[Barfly]

Normally stay at Le Fenix when in Bangkok. It is a semi smart boutique hotel with good amenities. Perhaps a little past it's prime, but friendly and well located. Should be around 2400 Baht per night.

Barfly: You should look around a bit before you book. LF can be had for less than 1500 almost everywhere. This Summer it was selling in the 1200 range. I like it & Soi 11, but it's way too far from Suk for my tastes. Nest, the bar on the roof is pretty cool though. wj

Interesting to hear Wackyjacky. I haven't stayed in BKK for almost two years, but prior to that mainly stayed at Le Fenix. Always booked direct with the hotel and I'm pretty sure 2400 was the going rate. Are you finding these cheap deals on third party websites or have their prices tumbled? At 1200 a night I'll be sure to get reaqainted when I'm back in February.

 

Edit{

You got me questioning my memory on this one so just visited the Le Fenix website, got a quote for a one night stay in early February and it still seems to be around 2400 baht approx - I'd be keen to know where the cheap prices can be found?}

I'm supposed to stay at the new 4 Points on 15. They've got a 1900 opening deal. Delayed and won't be open till Dec 1. Maybe try the new Raddisson Suites on 13. Opening special at 2100 - direct. Pachara Suites on 6 looks good too. If you don't need a pool, Kingston Suites on 15 is a steal at 1500, w/wifi & brekkie. Oh yeah, Tenface, in Ploenchit for 2000 looks saweeeeet ! wj

Pachara suites on 6 have been praised by some members I recall.

2400, really ? Where the Hell are you looking ? I've stayed there 3 times over the years and never paid more than 1600. It's 1500 on Agoda, 1350 on Sawadee, 1415 'Mystery Hotel' on WOTIF, 1499 on Latestays, and $48 on their own Accor website.LINK: http://www.accorhotels.com/gb/booking/hotels-list.shtml Accor will match any price you find out there. La Fenix is only worth $50. Lots of hotels newer, nicer, cheaper, and closer to Suk. wj

Maybe I can save you a little $$, it's $64 on Travelocity and there's some discount codes out there: $50 off $400 spend w/Amex - FALL50AMXH, $25 - CJU2010, & $25 - ThankYou25. Not sure, but I think the spend is $200 on the last 2. I'll be there too, if they don't get the 4 Points done. wj

[Sam Hill]

Both Dynasty and the Nana are within crawling distance of the nightlife (Nana Entertainment Plaza, one skytrain stop to Soi Cowboy). Also, on those rare dry nights when the bars are closed the Nana car park turns into one huge pick up place. The Honey is all right for Cowboy. Just beware of the "haunted room". The BGs won't set foot in it. (The Nana has at least one such room too.)

[wackyjacky]

Barfly, I'm sorry I've been quoting Nov-Dec prices, since I've been looking for myself and they're not the same. In fact they're CHEAPER in Feb. 1200 all in.
