Hotels Around Nana Plaza

[Knakpattra]

Hello all

I am going to Bangkok this Thursday (25th) and i feel like staying in the area of Nana plaza (and no, i am not 70 years of age )

As it is high season now, i dont want to head to Bangkok and go for Nana hotel without a backup plan so i am looking for some advice/backupplan in case Nana Hotel is fully booked (Yes, i tried online booking : No, i didnt got any reply back)

Anybody can give me advise on any hotel in this infamous area with similar activities like how Nana Hotel gets his reputation?

As for me, i dont mind to enjoy myself a bit, its a crazy place for crazy people so i fit well.

I heard hotels in Nana Plaza, especially Nana Hotel are very entertaining, alot of people of all kinds and all kinds of funny activities; a friend told me he sat with a coffee in lobby/hall and had a great time just sitting and watchin there....

Anybody can help me out with some hotelnames worthy of staying in case Nana Hotel is full?

[Knakpattra]

During my search, i came across a few others

Majestic Suites

AWgroup (?)

Dynasty

.....

no clue if this is something for me though...

anyone?

[tw25rw]

Majestic Suites is my regular place and is much better than the Nana. Majestic Grande is better again but dearer. The Dynasty is right there, but I had a bad time there. Many people would recommend it though.

You can still sit in the Nana lobby/restaurant if you want to watch the procession..

I actually expected to see a reply like yours , tw25rw

My focus is on Maajestic as of now

Its only a bit hard to find a good locationmap where it is

I guess that, when u walk out Nana hotel...and pass Plaza which is on ur right and head to the sukhumvit main rd, it is around the corner on your right.

Is it guestfriendly? i aint bookin in advance as i have no creditcard ; would it be worth too check out if theres a room?

As for the activities which i find amusing, i dont like to sit in a hotel and enjoy myself if i am not a guest over there, it does make me feel a bit "desperate for things" ...

Majestic Suites backs onto Nana Plaza (so you get the doof-doof music in the back rooms). It is completely gf with no joiner fee. Security will take the girls ID, which is a good thing. Coming out of Nana Plaza, turn right, then right again at the corner. Walk 20 metres and you're there.

Without a card, you might have trouble booking anywhere. I would get one of the prepay debit cards and use that.

The hotel is a little tired, but much nicer and newer than Nana.

The Nana people don't mind you using their restaurant. It's much bigger than Majestic's. The toilets there come in handy too.

Majestic Suites in prior to Subway - can easily miss it if you don't pay attention. Great hotel by the way and I recommend it.

I was just waiting when britmaveric will come with his standard fare - Majestic Suites.

Some people I know (a couple) loved it.

Recommended it to a first time in BKK friend, he also liked it.

Rooms are small though, but dont spend much time in hotel apart from sleeping.

I forked out 1800 a night for a deluxe room which is a bit bigger.. Has a table and chairs and a bit more space.

Only issue is taxi access. From the airport, you need the taxi to stop in soi 4 or the Nana carpark or the petrol station if you can explain it. To the airport, you need to walk up to the Landmark or else the taxi can't get across the traffic and will need to take a circuitous route to the highway entrance.

[britmaveric]

Ahh well Majestic Suites normally upgrade me for free. I think amount of times I've stayed there has smth to do with it. Yes - taxi is a problem, normally get them drop me at the 711 and I walk over myself.

How do they remember you? I've been loads of times but I doubt they remember me.

[britmaveric]

Chatted a few times with reception ladies/manager and owner. Actually owned by a Seek - nice lad infact. When I walk in the door - few hugs from the staff and happy to see you again Mr. Brit.

How bout the action at the hotel itself? i love to walk down / exit my room and find myself in a nice place/lobby/hall/bar with people / ladies for a nice conversation/socialising event :-P thats why i wondered about the Nana hotel; i heard the sugar daddies (old sex tourist/farang are everywere, and most of the time, due to their life experience (their age) they are good company (not looking or judging what they are doing in the hotel/the area itself)

But Mr TW25RW, if i come with cash, nobody will refuse...as far as i have seen, a card is simply the way to make an advance booking, with the extra risk of theft....and nothing more than that

I can manage a card today and have a hotel booked , but do you (or anyone else) really think its very much required (especially now, since i will depart to Bangkok in 4 days frm now) ? will it be full for this comming friday? any idea?

Anyway...as for the female action... Nana hotel seemed like a place that takes away possible boundries as the females are everywere..... but if i stay in Majestic, the easyness, simplicity will disappear as i have to really focus on gettin contact/connected with a nice lady,.... ( i guess )

In Nana Hotel, all u have to do is walk down the lobby and pick.

I guess Majestic will make me doubt as there is more effort to be done by myself (or am i wrong)

Im still not fully 100% comfortable with pay 2 play as u can see it basically has to fall on my lap

And oh....... what if Majestic and Nana hotel are full....any other suggestion where i should stay with my kind of desires? ;-)

You might have to leave a deposit if you don't have a card. And you'll have trouble booking in advance.

The lobby of the Majestic Suites is small. It doesn't have through traffic like the Nana. You won't be able to pick up in the lobby. But with Nana Plaza and hotel about 2 minutes away, you won't need to.

Other suggestions are the Majestic Grande and Dynasty (2 hotels nearby) as suggested. All are nicer places than Nana Hotel.

[Knakpattra]

Thx for the info (u and others) ... i will see when i reach, money is not an issue, i dont care it its 500 or 1000 more or less

It will be my last visit to BKK as i will start a new job in 2 weeks,and this makes traveling a pain in the butt for the next months to come

I just look for some entertainment, some fun with maybe some spices added if u kno what i mean

All other hotels (Dynasty,Majestic Grande) are GF?

I guess i make a plan and lookup the location of these other hotels as i dont wanna walk around with my bag for hours

By the way, any tips you want to share when it comes to some quality picks for the night?

Pretty much all the hotels in the Nana area are GF and the ones mentioned are a short walk from NP.

As for tips, just go into NP and you will see something you like. And it's not like they are shy either.

[Knakpattra]

Im sure they are not shy

I have visited NP before but never alone and i just walked through

The thing is that I dont feel like sitting there and look around as i am desperately looking for a piece of ( Y ) ....haha

I want to come,see,get and go...

[Shrubbery]

The Woraburi further up Soi 4 on the right hand side is ok. Rooms start from around 1200 baht per night.

I've stayed there 5 or 6 times with and without my wife.

Staff are a bit miserable.

[chavy]

I stayed at the Dynasty yesterday & every time I make the trip into Bangkok. I've never had a complaint about the place. The rooms are 1,280 & 1,480 BHT per night. They are gf & take their ID card.

[Prakanong]

Dynasty Inn Grande up around the corner on soi 6 is much nicer then the old "Die Nasty" its sister hotel.

I haveused it about 7-8 times over the last year after stopping using my hotel if 6 years the Bel Aire Princess

2280 a night but going up in November

I will not be back till Christmas now - then later Jan then again for CNY in early Feb

[mrtoad]

If you like People watching then may I suggest the Grace, plenty of interesting sights there.

[Knakpattra]

i have stayed at Woraburi two times

My own experience were so-so

I hve read alot of complaints, from bad bookings to stolen valuables when luggage was stored in their luggage storeroom

Woraburi is also a bit far walking, its nice if u need excercise yes

This time not for me!

In 2 days i go and i guess i try Nana Hotel first, after that Majestic and Dynasty, Manhatten also sounds nice but is a bit too far away from the hotspot i think (cross the street, walk down the road)

Mr Toad mentioned Grace hotel , what is so special about that? let me see the location first,then i might have an idea...

The Grace, Soi 3, opposite the Bamboo bar and about a 5 minute walk to Nana. Can't really say there's to much special about it though.

Whats the price for single standard room ?

Not the online price as i am not plannin to make (advance)bookings by CC

I am a bit worried that i will walk around this Thursday frm hotel to hotel as i havent made any booking

The more i read, the more information i get, and i see people mentioning booking rooms 3 (!) months in advance for hotels such as Majestic Inn and others

i guess i should make my backuplist longer ( bcuz as of now i have only Nana Hotel/Majestic and Dynasty on it )

Is there any way to find out room availabilty on the web of these hotels?

They are usually about 1200-1300 per night around there..

You really should invest in a prepaid debit card. Lets you book things and can be used at ATMs and is much more secure than carrying large sums around.

[Knakpattra]

Ummm ok

I managed to get a hold on a credit card, but it aint mine

Would that be a problem?

Im going for Majectic (IF it is still available hhahaha)

i hardly make use of Credit Cards, i did once and i paid a (online) domestic airline fee (in India) for a friend, and this guy needed to carry photocopies of the card/my signatures etc to show the airline office that it was a legal purchase and not frm a stolen credit card

So it wont be a problem if i make a booking and when i arrive i cant show the card that i used to make the booking??

Majestic, it had like 3 roomtypes , the difference between these rooms are not more than a small bottle of beer

Any1 want to advice me which one to take? ... no suite (2050 baht) as i find that waste of money.... 80% of the time im out

Single studio - 1315

Single superior - 1420

Double superior - 1670

A newbie question allowed?

Is it safe 2 pay with CC? im going to do it on their home page (http://www.majesticsuites.com/reservation.html)

Thx again for the trouble u guys are goin through reading this rookie-stuff , as well as advising

I have always found the staff there to be very honest but I wouldn't book through the homepage anyway unless you really want to pay on departure..

I book through http://www.thaihoteldiscounts.com/ which is much cheaper, but you have to pay up front.

Oh really,..

I find it odd that theres a risk by booking through their main site

It would look like a higher risk to me to do it through a site like you showed

Anyway, if u can, i can too lets see the site u provided and start the booking
