Looking for a bargin on a good Bangkok hotel

[dplast]

Had read a lot about how world conditions were having a negative impact on Thailands tourism industry.    So yesterday when I started shopping for a couple weeks of hotel accomadations I thought I might find better digs at my old rate.  Haven't found much, looking for a rate around $ 25 -30 a night.    Any words of wisdom for this bargin hunting traveler.               Thanks,  Doug

I have always meant to try these 2 at 795 and 870 baht a night.

Lots of others at pay 2 nights get 3rd one free (about time)

Or on the River...

The Royal River Hotel is in a unique position. Its superb location makes it possible to enjoy a tranquillised sunrise over the water and morning calm of Bangkok. Moreover, its location is only a short ride by either roadway or waterway to the various historical landmarks and cultural centres.

Hi Rinrada.    Thank you for the hotel source but still not exactly what I am looking for.  Looking for a deal on a small hotel.   Normally I stay at the Holiday Mansion but the managment has turned a little strange, the price of my room went up and they have the pool filled with school children.  

[califdann]

When in Bkk, I stay either at the Trinity Hotel in the Silom area... 1400 B per night, or at the Honey Hotel in the Sukhumvit area at 800 B a nite.  Both have breakfast free with the meal.  Both are guest friendly, helpful, and not either really large, or sleezy.  Both are just off the beaten path, but a short walk from the action.

Has anyone tried the Greenery House

http://www.greeneryhouse.com/

or P Mansion?

http://asiatravel.com/thailand/pmansion/

I will be visiting my serious GF in August for about three weeks.  These look like good places and the price is right but looks can be deceiving.

New Australian run Guesthouse on Sukhumvit 55 (Thonglor) Rooms  from 250 baht per night.  phone 02 392 6518 or [email protected]

[robertT]

in BKK for convenience and price I recommend the Nana City Inn on Soi Nana (Sukumvit 4)...bt700 for a double room with en suite, minibar and cable TV. Comfortable beds and a little bit shabby but who cares...the delights of Soi Nana on your door step. Good American/European food everywhere...good breakfasts and cheese burgers, beef stew, etc at the Bustop across the street plus kwetiow and the rest on the sidewalk in front. Friendly and helpful staff. No pool or health club but we don't care about that...right?

[Jade]

Try, Win Long Place, Charoenkrung Soi 47, Si Phraya. Rooms from about 600 baht/night.

[Gatsby]

I would certainly try the Sol Twin Towers,  a 4 star hotel about 10 mins from MBK and the National stadium.  Riight now www.planetholiday.com has a standard twin or double for $30 after all taxes and fees. Here is the address: 88/2 Rongmuang, Patumwan, Bangkok, Thailand 10330.  A bit far from Silom or Sukumvit, but a fantastic hotel at that cost.

AsiaTravel.Com usually has a "pay for two nights, get the third night free" special on the Twin Towers which puts the cost for a single at under 1000 baht/night. My usual hotel in Bangkok and as Gatsby says, a great hotel for that price.  

Downsides: it's not a small hotel, it's slightly out of the way and it does tend to be full of tour groups.

[seville]

aitit,

Do you have a phone number for The Street Lodge?

Seville

[paoa]

I usually stay at the Ambassador Hotel, Sukhumvit Soi 11.  After several trips, usually can negotiate 1,000 Baht per night, including breakfast. ::

[tomy]

there are plenty of small place to kick back for a few day for  only 200-300baht a night ( i didn't say hotel now, motel is more like it), where all the back-packer hand-out, what you call that road (freak lane, ave. or something like that

[seville]

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know the phone numbers of any clean lower priced motel on Soi 1?

I want to book a place that is near The Bumrungrad Hospital.

Cheers

[dplast]

Thanks for all the input on small hotels. I feel a little guilty because I didn't try any of them. Ended up at Jim's Lodge 125/7 Soi Ruamrudee , Ploenchit Rd. behind the US Embassy on Wireless. Rate was around 1000 bht with breakfest, cost an additional 200 bht when the gf had a sleep over. Small hotel with a frendly and very helpful staff. It is a bit off Ploenchit but an easy quick ride via motorbike taxi from the corner.

I'll be back in January - any new ideas or hot deals? Dplast

[Yurko]

Greetings,

At the Manhattan Hotel, what is the signicant difference between the Standard/double and the Superior/twin besides the rate.

I hear it has an in-room, safe, nice pool, and is girl friendly, but is the Superior room that much better than the Standard room? Chohk Dee! Yurko

Hi - I'm new here -

Just got back a week ago from spending 2 weeks, stayed at the Baiyoke Suites, huge room, SOFT BEDS and a fantastic brk buffet, 22.50 U.S. a night. Great value!

[salty]

Greetings,

I would appreciate any experience/opinions of Royal Ambassador Suites. I am considering this for visit to Bangkok in early February.

[brencoff]

Can any nice person tell me what is a boutique hotel and if the Residence Ratjaevee in Pratunum is ok ?
