Selecting this for the coming trip to LOS next month. Will take some pics to add value to this thread.😎

I have good experiences at Majestic suits, Majestic Grande and Ibis.

1. Majestic Grande

2. MAJESTIC SUITS

3. Ibis

I think this is a no frill hotel where a guest gets decent accommodation around the center of action in Sukhumvit.

Rooms are pretty much standard as Ibis all around the world with decent breakfast. Very much girl friendly.  There is a security person sitting on his desk near to the elevator but he is a mere spectator if you take a girl to your room. He does not ask for any ID and pretending to be ignoring you having a guest.

Overall it is good value for money...😎

Try Hama-ichi on soi 29 next to the Legacy Suite hotel.  I ate there once and I was very satisfied with the menu options. I saw several Japaneses eating there at the time which for me is a good sign of an authentic Japanese 

I have eaten here 3 times. First time, my Japanese colleague took me there and then 2 more times with friends. Ambience is very good and food is excellent. Also have a decent parking area. There is a big menu with good prices. Service is also very prompt and friendly. I have seen many Japanese eating and enjoying there drinks which confirms it's authenticity. As far as I am concerned, I loved the food here.

I have picked a FL from Hillary 2 in 2016. It has a live band every evening and entertains the crowd well. People give their song requests and dance when it is performed by the band. It becomes very noisy also as is the case with most clubs in bkk. Same as climax, you need to buy a drink before entry into hillary 2 and vibes are very climax like but area is lesser than climax.

I know this topic has been discussed many times in details, but I feel that it would be of great help if we can highlight top 3 hotels around Nana area which suits mission bkk for anyone who is planning to come here for self enlightenment. This will enable them to reduce the radius of hotel search to get the best one using the knowledge and experience of other veterans here.

Ok hotel booking done

Thanks cluster

Anyone who stayed there and brought atleast one guest?

I read in some of the thai news online portals that VOA fee exemptions have been extended till Oct end. Anu updated information if can be shared by anyone will be highly appreciated.

I stayed there 4 years ago and had the superiors room (1800b) big room great bed and couch.

Going back this Thursday 12 Sept for a 4 day stay.

 

Nice pics. It looks like a wooden house. I liked it.

Thanks for your reply. But it would be helpful if someone can highlight any issue related to their guest friendly policies.

Majestic Suites has a very good advantage of being very near to the action area. Room tariff is around 1500-2000 bht per night. I stayed here 6 months back and found it very convenient. Breakfast is limited but is good.

Planning a trip to bkk in Oct'19. When I was looking for a good hotel around 1500b per night at Soi4, I came across Dynasty Inn. 

Anyone stayed here before can advice about pros and cons for this hotel.

This hotel has a great location, I have stayed here 3 times in the last couple of years. On the ground floor there is a nice bar with a couple of pool tables. Drinks a little expensive. Across the road there are a few beer bars, Nice cold beers and friendly chatty ladies. A few hundred metres up Soi 22 you will find Queens Plaza - Lots of bars to drink and play pool. Queens Plaza is a bit run down - but still OK for a bit of fun. About 10 minute walk along Sulhumvit and over the road you’ll find Soi Cowboy. Terminal 21 is also close for lots of shopping. The hotel itself is quite modern-although the rooms seem cheaply furnished - but comfortable enough. Breakfast buffet is good. Nice pool area. Indian themed restaurant on top floor which I didn’t try. Hotel is guest friendly with no joiner fee,

Yes i agree with you. It is at the corner of Soi 22 and there are lots of massage parlours down the lane

You're welcome atlaspopovic. :)

October is still low season. I stayed in a Deluxe room and paid 53 GBP which is roughly 2275 THB.

Booked through Agoda.com

 

 

@birdhaus Happy to help :D

You can try Ibis nana 1200 baht or Ambassador soi 11 1500baht if you like plain hotels with breakfast.

Have anyone tried this new hotel? Booked in for a 2 day layover in Bkk before heading to Pattaya in a couple of weeks. Brand new, good size rooms and looks nice.

What are the room rates and is it gf?

Someone mentioned the Boxtel by the hour hotel at Suvarnabhumi in a thread recently. I used it for 4 hours a couple of days ago. My flight home was delayed from 9 am to 2.15 pm. The airline should have sent me a mail, letting me know so I could have stayed at my hotel in the city. But no mail. So I got up at 5.30 am, and was at the airport by 7.

 

The taxi did not use the highway by default for some reason. Every time I take a taxi to the airport, the driver takes a new route, so I did not notice at first. Had I been in a hurry, it could have been catastrophic. Always tell the drive specifically to use the highway!

 

Anyway, here is what you need to know about the Boxtel @ Suvarnabhumi Airport.

 

Location. The Boxtel hotel is located at the B level by the Airport Rail Link and the exchanges. You need to use the elevator to get there, at least from the departure level. BKK have this weird thing where the arrival level is blocked off.

 

Booking. They have a website for booking, but it is not intuitive at all. You need to select dates for check in and check out, and they can not be the same date. Yet, it is all by the hour. So just don’t bother with the website. I showed up and payed cash by the counter. Staffed by a friendly woman who spoke good English. The place did not seem to be very busy, and there are plenty of rooms. You can choose from 2 hours up if I remember correctly.

 

Price. 3 hours was 950. 4 hours was 1250. Then there is a 100-baht deposit. Wifi included.

 

Standard. The rooms are very basic as expected. DIY style. Very clean. Overall quiet, but I did hear the occasional suitcase being dropped. There is an outlet for charging and a fan in the roof. Keep the fan on as it gets very warm inside. I am 180 cm and had no problem with the size of the bed. The toilet is further down the hall, so better make a visit before you settle in. There are a few vending machines outside and a seating area.

 

I do not recommend it as a ST hotel.

 

I was really glad I had this option! So much better that hanging out at the departure hall for 5 hours.
