Hi guys,

 

I know both of them are excellent choices. I have chosen Sofitel Bangkok Sukhumvit, but I still have the ability to cancel without charge and switch to Hyatt Regency Bangkok Sukhumvit as I have read here excellent reviews about it. Both of them have the same price actually.

 

1. Which ones is more girl friendly?  Which one is more discreet?

2. Any other pros and cons between them :)

 

Thank you!!

Which one is more girl friendly??? It's either girl friendly or it isn't! 

My top 3 bkk hotel's. All are guest friendly

1 Oriental Residence. Corner suite, garden view

2 Hyatt Regency. Standard room

3 Sofitel Suk. Club room

Stayed here last week when in BKK on business and will stay there again when I’m back next month. Really liked the hotel better than the Landmark which is similarly priced. I got a good rate of £100 per night although it’s increased to £120 a night for my next trip.

 

Stayed in the ‘cheapest’ room but it was more than spacious enough (37/38sqm I think) and the tv was massive! Comfy bed & separate shower and bath tub.

 

The rooftop bar is also really nice great view of BKK. Took 3 different girls up there on 3 consecutive nights so I am sure the staff noticed :D

 

Pool & jacuzzi were fine and there’s also a steam room. Didn’t have the breakfast.

 

Good location and you can walk to the hotel via the extended skybridge at Nana (exit 3 I think) which leads you to the hotel entrance via an escalator which is useful if you have luggage.

Ohh mate the breakfast is awesome, better than Sofitel next door's breakfast.

I have read there is no door to the toilet/bath room and people complain about it and don't want to get back. Is it true? :) lol

The room (standard) is open plan style, only the wash basin and bath are on view, the toilet and shower are two seperate enclosures with frosted glass doors for privacy, that said, and if I remember rightly there was a sliding partition that made the bathroom completely private, all was fine for me and was happy enough to leave the partition open.

Trying to plan my accommodation for Bangkok and was thinking maybe stay in Double One by Aspira for a few days but I can’t seem to book in the usual online sites and I can’t find it on the Aspria website either.

 

Does anyone know if the hotel is closed? A pity if it is, was there in my last visit and it was well priced and located.

I agree with what the OP posted, I have stayed there twice, the second time I got a slight upgrade and the shower was larger and had a small bench that you could sit down on.

 

Also the hotel has a bar on street level. Bar Su, inside you will find single unattached Thai women. It’s not the meat market that you will find at other bars, more of an upscale freelancers.

 

I would like to add that the breakfast buffet in the morning is really good, I get a corporate rate so it is included for me.

Any idea what the freelancers rates are in Bar Su? 

Can non guests go there for drinks?

Any one have any info on this place ?

I.e. is there daily room clean or room service ?

 

This is fairly new and only handful of reviews on booking.com. it seems it's an apartment rental so I'm weary if my room would be cleaned every day.

If you're weary about your room being cleaned then perhaps you will become WARY of this and clean it yourself  :D

Thanks everyone for the feedback.. the Movenpick was working out at 3900 baht per night for executive room, lounge access and airport transfer, not a bad deal but never been through Bangkok so appreciate all your advice

 

Budget is reasonably flexible.. 3500 - 5000 per night

 

I’m thinking I’ll swing for the Sofitel !

Sofitel is a brilliant choice, club access worthwhile too at Sofitel

Give any airport transfer by any hotel a miss though, expensive and easy to go by public taxi from ground floor level at the airport, believe me it's not troublesome at all. Like falling off a log.

March 7-19 2019 

 

Second time in Bangkok, first time was a dud. I think it was my fault, I didn't plan nearly enough. This time I am starting early. 

 

I would like to have a wing man this time, however..... I just want to be upfront. 

 

1) I smoke cigars and drink like a fish

2) I have fun pulling freebies and non working girls. Sometimes this can be time consuming

 

If those things don't bother you, shoot me a message.

So you don't score then?

Hi members,

 

Somebody planned to go in March?

 

Cheers, Dutchy

I would imagine quite a few mate!

Looking for any feedback on this hotel, seems ok, would welcome any advice on it or a similar alternative. Looking at the Sofitel, Pullman or cheaper Mercure .. tried a search for Mövenpick but nothing so far..

 

Cheers all

I stayed at the Movenpick when it first opened a few years ago. IMO very average and nothing to rave about, Sofitel is vastly superior to Movenpick - not even in the same league

Pullman, never stayed there and likewise for Mercure, if it's the Mercure on Soi 11 you're referring to I'd hazard a guess that it's better than Movenpick

Budget hotel in that area, Dawin would be my pick

The Amari boulevard up Soi 5 is quite nice. I think it’s just the boulevard now. Was cheaper than landmark a while ago.

Wow

A very well known hotel that charge's joiner fee's (or used to) also in a not very nice area

Try Novotel Ploenchit or Majestic Grande soi 2

Only problem is this

Landmark is a 5* hotel, but more 4.5* IMHO. In the immediate area all 5* hotels are more expensive than Landmark

You will need to lower your sights if you want cheaper than Landmark, good 4* hotels in the area besides Novotel and Majestic Grande

Solitaire soi 13

Mercure soi 11

Dream Soi 15   Dream is also classed as 5* but again more 4.5*

I think they’re both run by the Kingston hotel group.

 

From my experience at their places, they start off good and as they age, their facilities deteriorate.

 

Their prices are reasonable but don’t expect a high class of product.

 

I was in the solitaire a few years ago and it was nice. I think they either moved recently or renovated. There’s been so much change in that area it’s hard to keep up.

Solitaire was recently fully renovated

I believe they're part of the Compass group

Cafe Claire was excellent  :)

Don't know about Kingston, only that it's on Soi 15 LHS from Suk Rd just past the Dream Hotel

Solitaire, I was there May 2018 and it's very nice, I think it was actually President Solitaire previously and has been fully renovated, I had the club room, very good but not worth paying for club amenities because very little food was available and limited choice of drinks. Breakfast was good. 

Location, not actually on soi 11 but soi 13 about 100 metres from Insanity club on soi 11. Guest friendly indeed, well at least for one girl, I never took more than one back at a time.

Sorry I'm wrong, wasn't President Solitaire previously because that's now Mercure soi 11

It was certainly some President or other.

Right chap's now done my homework. I was actually correct the first time around Solitaire was formerly President Solitaire 

Mercure soi 11 was formerly President Palace

Yes it's GF. I have booked for my stay during March.

I enquired with the hotel and received confirmation via email

I know a couple dirt cheap places :)

 

Get the OpenRice app and you should be able to search for something suitable.

Ok thanks I'll give OpenRice app a try.

Does any member know of a nice mid range thai restaurant in the Thonglor area please?

Have a look at the new hotel on Soi 11, Solitaire.

I'm there in two weeks. G/F because I emailed them before booking

Dream Hotel Soi 15
