majestic suites, 1420bht, between soi 4-6 on Suk. 5min from skytrain, very central to touristy bits.

very nice recommendation as long as you into the tasty tarts of bkk!

Central/close to all the touristy bits - one can ignore the nightlife if one chooses.

The Majestic Suites, having stayed there, is a lovely small hotel... good prices...very modern rooms, though a bit small in size... great staff...close to Nana BTS and everything else on lower Sukhumvit... No buffet there, but single plate cafe breakfast.

However, it's also a block from Nana Plaza....and does a good deal of business with local girls and their customers...usually quiet and well behaved.

If that's what you want...it's a good choice. If you have other things in mind, there are many many other choices in your price range.

Have you been to BKK before, and do you have any idea what area you might want to stay???

I booked a room for a friend at the Le Fenix Hotel on Sukhumvit 11. He was quite satisfied with it. Its a bit deep in the soi but next door to several clubs including the Q Club and the Bed and Supper Club. The hotel is new/newly renovated and although a bit small, has nice furnishings including a large LCD tv. There is construction across the street so if you sleep in, make sure you get a room that doesn't face the site. Presently the hotel internet price is about 1530 baht, which is a very good price (no breakfast). Its great for the price (and doesn't charge for overnight guests).

Here's the tripadvisor link:

And here is the hotel website, where you can find the 1530 baht rate:

He also checked out the Federal Hotel, where they quoted him a price of 1000 baht a night. It is an older hotel yet comfortable from what I have heard.

The Federal is OK, but a bit old and graying around the edges....

There are other, better choices on the same soi, and elsewhere nearby.... unless you just like OLD places!

Wait a minute! A lot of us are old and graying around the edges and we're still good to go! (Mind willing, body not...)

We eventually stayed at The Royal Hotel, 5 minutes from Khoasan Road and The Royal Palace and temple etc. it was exactly what we were after, not expensive, centrally located and clean.

Thanks
