Marco Hotel

[plahgat]

Hi!

 

Usually I stay at cheap 700 baht cockroach infested smoke-smelling places whilst in BKK , but thought I'd upgrade on my next visit!

I'll arrive in Bangkok in the middle of Songkran on April 14 and will stay until April 20, when I'll go back to Pattaya.

Since I'll have 6 nights and because I'll probably be hiding out in my room from the splash-war outside on my first days,

I thought I'd for once take the splurge and pay more for a comfy and nicer hotelroom!

 

I've been looking through the hotelbooking websites the last few days, and decided I wanted to stay near to Nana, and

finally my decision fell on the Marco hotel (aka Marco Polo) in Soi 2: Marco

Looks pretty new and clean on the pictures and had got mostly good reviews, price was also within my reach at 1300 baht a night

including taxes.

Although in a quiet soi off Sukhumvit Rd, it's supposed to be only 5 minutes walking from the BTS, and you can use the swimming pool at the Marriott hotel in the same area.

 

Booked on http://www.booking.com

 

Choosed a "Deluxe Room- Studio B"

Room Facilities: Air Conditioning, Work Desk, Shower, Hairdryer, Bathrobe, Toilet, Bath or Shower, TV, Telephone, Radio, DVD Player, Cable TV, Tea/Coffee Maker, Minibar, Kitchenette, Refrigerator, Microwave, Balcony, Patio, View (sea, garden, landmark, etc.)

 

Room Size: 27 square metresBed Size (s): 1 Extra large double

 

Anyone stayed here and can give the cons and pros?

 

ps if you have pictures of the rooms I'd appreciate them because there are not so many on their website!

 

Thanks!

Nope, I usually stay at majestic suites, 4 doors up from soi 4 nana - look out your window and see Nana. clean and pretty cheap - about 1400b and you can use the facilities at Majestic hotel ( I never seem to get up early enough though) Food is very ordinary so don't eat there.

Thanks for the link, but there are still not many pictures but the same one shown on their website!

I'd like a review from a mongers approach, how about girlfriendly?

Just want to add I've changed my plans and will not be in BKK for Songkran!

I'll arrive later on and have cancelled my booking with Marco hotel as well,

and will continue to stay in the cheaper cockroach infested smoke-smelling places

and save my money for the girls instead!

MARCO is a good hotel, guest friendly.

Your guest give id card.

The lady of the lobby are very cute.

The room are very good, clean and quiet.

 

I go to there last year.

 

Good place for young single because the hotel is in end of soi 2.

They have a electric car if you want to go to main street the day (until 23h00) ... but the night you walk 500 meters from nana to come back in this hotel with your beer and your lady

There are some shortcut to go faster by soi 4 ...
