Bangkok Hotels

[L00PY]

Hi all, complete newbie to BKK. Not sure of the lay of the land. Can someone please give me some options of decent hotels to stay at? I know 'reasonably' priced is relative to the person, so just a few I can look at that are girl (s) friendly. Also, if you can just name an area, then I can just look at the hotels there.

Take a look at maps of Bangkok. I'd suggest staying between the BTS stops of Nana and Asok. Then plug your price range into a site like Agoda. Once you find a couple to your liking, just search for the hotel name on this site or through google with the term "guest friendly". From there you can look more closely at reviews.

Wanting a place that's not too far and centrally located to all the action areas, within walking distance if possible with a room safe. Not sure if there's a place that's in the middle of all the spots mentioned in BKK. I was looking at Grand 5 hotel & Plaza, but not sure. Guess I'm just feeling a bit overwhelmed with so many options and areas for women. Thanks!

I have booked Radisson Suites Soi 11, is this hotel girl friendly, and do they allow more than 1 guest to come to the room.

Soi 13 Radisson does allow girls. I don't know about multiple girls at the same time. At the main entrance you will be facing the reception, so you won't be sneaking anybody in. They did not require girl ID from me, though I encourage people to give reception her ID and call the room before returning the ID. I tip reception for this because it is for my security. A hidden entrance does exist for the left wing, but it is awkward and is not recommended.

The Radisson is on Soi 13, not 11.

I am staying there for one night in late December before moving to another hotel nearby for a longer (month) stay, and have read similar mixed reports. Of course, for one night, I can tolerate current conditions but curious as well if anyone has a recent review.

As above thought I'd not take the chance.

Heard conflicting reports on Galleria 10.

Some say still ok some say starting to show age and upkeep not good.

Any recent stayers?

Have done a search on here.

Appreciate.

Hi folks,

How is Oakwood hotel in sukhumvit 11? Is it girl friendly?

Cheers!

It's looking like this spring I will be making my first trip over and here's a question my search-fu can't answer: hotel vs air be&be. I almost exclusively use the latter these days, any reason not to while in Thailand and go with hotels instead?

Many thanks!

I prefer AirBnB in Bangkok since many units have a washer and I don't have to schlep my clothes to an off-site laundry.

However, please note that some listings like the Hyde 11 condo high-rise state that AirBnB occupants aren't allowed to use the pool or gym.

No issues using AirBnB in Thailand, I just returned from a 3 week trip staying in AirnBnbs. The only issue for me is sometimes it's difficult to get fresh sheets and towels as needed. Usually they do room servicing once per week but some places will do more if you pay additional for the service. Definitely a better deal than a hotel if you're there for more than a few days.

Thank you both for the words.

The thing with airBNB in Thailand is that's it's in a legal grey zone. TECHNICALLY rentals under one month are illegal and many condos have rules against it, but as with everything in Thailand it's the luck of the draw if these rules are enforced. Often times if you read the house rules page, the owner will explicitly tell you to contact them rather than the building management if anything is wrong.

The bottom line is, if you're going the airbnb route, be smart about it. Don't draw attention to yourself, make excessive noise, or smoke in the room, and you'll be fine. If you're going to be a dick and annoy the neighbours and act like a * tourist on holiday, then all you're doing is giving the building management reason to check your lease and kick you out.

Marriott Marquis Queen's Park was not only guest friendly, but when an escort girl showed up in the lobby for me they escorted her up to my room. Probably earned a repeat customer.

Anyone have suggestions on a very quiet hotel in Bangkok? Doesn't have to be near the action, but I am a terrible sleeper and basically need a place that is silent. Hard to really filter searches for places that are quiet and soundproofed well, so would love input from those who similarly appreciate their quiet lodging.

In that part of town, and in lower range price: Key Premier Sukhumvit, Soi 7.

Stayed there several weeks ago and it is quiet. Number one priority for me is no street noise. I wouldn't stay in a place for free otherwise.
