If your booking short notice prices will be high, I normally book my hotels 2- 3 months in advance and get pretty good prices for example my next trip I got the Grand Swiss for $57US and Travelodge for $40US
My backup which might benefit you is Armoni Hotel Sukhumvit 11 which is about $30US
Oh and if you can get a double room at the Majestic Suites thats pretty good too (think walk in price was 1400baht)

Hotelopia doesn't reply to messages from the hotel either. They have now canceled my booking with no communication or notification (only found out when I went to check the status of my booking online) likely as a response to the hotels request on my behalf.
Personally I'll never use Hotelopia ever again in quite a few cases they offer the cheapest price but usually by only a few dollars but the customer service is practically none existent, (phone numbers not working taking over four days to replay to emails) lesson learned.

No message for the last two days and its now the weekend guess thats a loss
-
Just got a reply from the hotel that said they are ok changing the booking they just have confirmed the booking with Hotelopia. I reacon I've got a 50/50 chance of it happening.

Yeah i was just trying to save a little money think it worked out $100 cheaper then using Agoda or booking.com, found the site on hotel hotelscombined. Hotel just got back to me and said they would try and work it out with the "travel agent" Funny enough they now list free cancellation for the same price just it wasn't there when I booked the first time.
Regardless of the outcome I gonna still book this hotel they have atleast attempted to help me out even though they have no obligation to do so

I'll be in cambodia for a week then back to los till 20th of july
Scratch that till the 27th
If anyone want to share(spit a taxi fare) a ride down to patts on the 20th July hit me up
-
So I thought I'd start this to share my experience give others a place to share.
NOTES:
I understand I made a mistake and that I forfeit the money for the booking but as I've already lost the money why not try.
Goal: Try and change my booking
Finding out my leave had been approved I started booking my upcoming holiday. Finding a nice discounted rate, I booked a hotel for a one week stay in Bangkok via "Hotelopia Mid July" but during the booking I made a mistake with the dates and ending up book one week earlier then I needed too. So when I discovered my mistake (the next day) I immediately tried to contact Hotelopia, through their only messaging system and via the phone numbers they provided only to find all local ones didn't work. A quick google search didn't give fill me with much confidence as customer service is always rated "non-existent" but a few contacted them via facebook and I did the same. After about 2 days to my facebook message the gave me a Spanish call center number that I called (I used skype cost me like $1us for the 30min call) Seemingly helpful the person on the phone attempted to contact the hotel and told me that the the reservation department was closed and they would email them and get in touch with me via email/ phone.
Two days later (so four days after me initial email) I get a response from my original email request stating:
"The booking is under special terms and conditions, therefore no amendments are allowed and there is no possibility to cancel free of charge.
We are sorry to inform you that it is not possible to agree with your request."
So as last hail Mary I've emailed the hotel to see if there is anything I can do to change my booking, and that where I am, waiting to hear what they have to say. Im not that optimistic but its worth a try
-

-

I stayed there in 2016 for three nights was ok, think the only problem was I had ants in the room also it was kind of pricey for what you get think I paid 1800baht per night. Good location tho and it is a descent option but for me Id only go if it was very cheap
-
Thanks for that I've always wondered about these two, they always were the first options to pop up when I loaded up Agoda around the nana area but the reviews always put me off. Still not convinced and probably well try Sawasdee Hotel next time but its nice to have options
-
Im planing a trip for the 20th don't know how long yet or if I can even go but hopefully
-
So used to always travel via Thai Airlines, but that was with my old job and on their dollar. So trying to save a little Im thinking of using this airline has anyone used them before? I know that they have no alcohol and you have to have a stop over i Brunei but anyone have anything to add?
Service wise?
Comfort?
How was the airport?
-
Very late but I liked Spot Light when I was there last year picked up girls for 2k 700bf even got offered long time at no extra as "she liked me" or it was late and we were both drunk.
I Stayed at the Ramming lodge with was pretty good
-
I'll be leaving Bangkok headed for Pattaya on Feb 1st. How come there is not a roll call pinned for January? Are they closing Bangkok that month because someone heard I was coming?

This is my August 2017 review of the Majestic SuitesRoom Type: Superior King BedDuration: 2 dayCost: 1600 baht per day (via agoda)Would I return: Maybe?The Good:LocationGood bedsCleanGirlfriendlyRoom safeSecurityFriendly staffCafeThe Bad:Crappy wifiBath roomDoor locksNo on site pool/gymBusy hard to bookThe reviewThis hotel is the number one recommended rooms for those on a modest budget for mongering, I for one like to save a bit on the room to have more money for “play” Most sites online or Agoda referral sites as I’ll call em praise this on location staff and value for money. I am happy to report they are not wrong. Any problems I have with the hotel can be tolerated as the are not deal breakingThis is one of the times I didn’t need early check-ins I got to the hotel at about 3pm after a welcome drink was on my way to my room. Quick test of the wifi was 4mbs down and 1mbs up but signal strength non-existent in room only the doorway had signal (when I check in there was another guest complaining about it) This might not be important to some but no matter how much fucking I do in Thailand there is always down time. I can’t fuck 24/7 and in those breaks I like to watch a movie netflixs youtube or surf the net this is very important for me. The net is needed not just entertainment but communication apps wechat or line to call the girls and message them. Having a sim card helped but I would still like a solid connection would have been preferred.The room is dated but functional and clean, I’d take clean over modern any day. Small complaint is the toilet, in the room the bath tub and the toilet were so close I had to side saddle or have one let in the tub to take a shit. My rooms lock on the door never worked first shot you have to try the key card a few time as the mechanism was not catching.This hotel is about location it’s at nana yes 50meters away it well take you 2mins to get to the plaza. 7/11 is about 100meters away. Its 2.5km away from sukumvit 24 massage girls and about 700meters away from Thermae. 300meter to vasu money exchange 200meters from the bts.Regret going to the Fusion Suites after this as the hotel offered a room for 1500baht for another night but I really wanted a room with better wifi and nearer to Thermae. (Fusion sucked balls)Conclusion TLDRThis hotel ticks most boxes. Good hotel, good room, good price, great location crap wifi good staff (good security) Also pretty popular hard to book due to its popularity just found out they have a room for 1420baht superior queen.

This is my August 2017 review of The Fusion SuitesRoom Type: Suite Single RoomDuration: 3 day (one day Superior room and 2 days in deluxe room)Cost: 1300baht per day Superior room (via agoda)1500baht for deluxe suiteWould I return: NopeThe Good:PriceGirlfriendlyRoom safeClose to Soi CowboyBar/food on siteEarly check inThe Bad:Not maintained and falling apartShit wifi on higher floorsCost saving bull shit (explained in the review)No securityNo gym or poolCrappy housekeeping had to call front desk to get room made upThe ReviewThis was one of the biggest disappointments of my whole trip following the reviews from the online sites that now I believe are really just listing popular places to get the Agoda referral money. The review I read was from 2013 (bargirlfriendlyhotels) and other listed as being quite nice to stay. I might be wrong but it might have been built in 2010 only 7 years ago.I had just finished a two night stay at the “majestic suites” (review coming soon) this had a good location for nana but I found that I had a preference for the freelancers at Thermae and this one being a little closer and having shit wifi at Majestic Suites a change of location was in order.I needed to book a hotel that I would return too in a few days as I was going to changi mi for 3 days and wanted to leave my suit case, hence why I returned to this hotel.The first night with early check-in (12.30pm) was in a Superior room and batman would fucking love this room. The room is poorly lit and it’s by design (likely done to hide the mold water leaks and other rundown features of the room). As online review on trip adviser say on the cheaper rooms the windows are covered with a pictures of forest. People write that they can’t understand why and I checked this out and it’s easy to understand. The rooms face a busy carpark and nobody wants to see your naked ass walking around the room. (This wasn’t a problem as I was going to sleep most of the day and have fun at night so it could be a plus or a minus)Wifi was about 5mb down and 1mb up just enough to watch youtube at 480p. I did notice that as a cost cutting measure some lights were disabled wire cut so they didn’t turn on tubes removed behind the mirrors so they didn’t have the back lighting. Exposed wires, mould and water damage but its cheap and can overlook it as this happens in old hotels in asia.Location is ok but and really the only this this hotel has going for it, 20min (1.5km) walk to nana 5min walk to Cowboy (500meters) 25min (2km) from Sukhumvit 24 massage area.My first complaint was the bed while being a good size a king the base was broken near the bottom. So if one was fucking on the edge it would have squeaked like an old rocking horse in need of oil. My only other was the lack of security yes its girl friendly but the door is just left wide open and the dude that is meant to be manning the desk was always asleep. He was also not a security guard just a normal worker.After my first night I thought this was a passable place to stay as I had already book two nights more when I came back from my trip. Sure it was dark and you could fuck on the other side of the bed to get around the broken part and the lack of security I could make do I watch mma if there was any trouble I would just superman punch all the things.My return, I booked a slightly better room (deluxe) for my return as I would be there for two nights. The room was bigger the bed wasn’t broken there was a real window with real light unfortunately the wifi only worked when you stood next the door as the routers on my floor had been reset and staff didn’t know how to fix it. Still if this was my only complaint this would have been fine but it wasn’t.Apparently above my room was a room with a Jacuzzi and when it was used the water dripped into my bath room it covered the floor the toilet with used hot tub water. Looking at the roof this wasn’t new either there was evident existing water damage. Upon complaining I was told that they would ask the guy above me to stop using the hot tub and would clean the water I said fuck that I’d like a new room (although in a more calm manner) they told me that all rooms full and they could fix it for me tomorrow. I had to ask for a refund when a room magically became available on a lower floor but with a balcony still with shit wifi though.Conclusion TLDRCheapish but for what you get not worth it. Place is falling apart bad retrofitted add ons like shower screens in the baths where water can’t drain. Not clean mould and exposed wires (flicking lights) and broken or badly maintained equipment leaking roof. Aircon gets shut off at midnight and you have to turn it on high to get it working again. Luggage storage is only free if you book another day with the hotel on pick up day. Avoid this hotel. (sorry about the blurry pics but they're all I got)
