RAZZELL Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Well, I'll be back in LOS in the beginning of Feb and staying in BKK for a few days. I usually stay at the President Solitaire in Soi 11 but fancy a change. I've been looking at The Davis on Tripadvisor and I like the look of it. Anyone stayed there?

mizztraveller Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Yes, we stayed there in December 06. Couldn't fault it and certainly excellent value for money. The only downside was the location - though not actually far from anywhere, the pavements were absolutely lethal. Very lucky not to have broken any bones!

Yeah, I've walked down that soi behind Emporium a couple of times. Not that user friendly What type of room were you in? RAZZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaiEye Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 You are sure to be looked after well at the Davis Hotel especially when the place is owned by this famous boxer/politican with the moustache: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjfwwcY3ZHI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelepulse Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 I stayed there right after they opened. It's a nice hotel, although the traffic getting to Sukhumvit can be pretty heavy. The suites behind the main building were also nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somluck Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Was told that this hotel was initially planned as a mega massage parlour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
think_too_mut Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Was told that this hotel was initially planned as a mega massage parlour Like Chuvit's another place - Poseidon. It does look a bit like it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
churchill Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 (edited) Have used their massage service . Spa and massage at Davis excellent but not the same service as Poseidon ! Edited December 31, 2008 by churchill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeetJohnDoe Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Hotel is very nice and well located...with 2 shopping complexes steps away that have a Tops market, Au Bon Pain, Starbucks, and several other restos. Traffic can back-up getting to Sukhumvit but taxis and motos are plentiful. Easy access to Rama 4 if you are going to Silom/Sathon/Wireless/Lumpini/River areas.

kamalabob2 Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 If that location is suitable for your stay in Bangkok you might consider the less expensive President Park serviced apartment directly across the street. That hotel has two nice buildings with large apartments which they rent by the night and a very good breakfast. The lowest prices for President Park on on the Compass Hospitality web site. www.compasshospitality.com which is the management company for the President Properties. The Davis is beautiful, has an interesting owner but if price is a major consideration consider the rooms at President Park. Both places are within walking distance to Carrefour, Tesco, etc... It is OFTEN a terrible taxi ride up to/from Sukhumvit, both places have free shuttle, but the motorbike taxis can get you to/from BTS in prompt and "thrilling" fashion.

dekka007 Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 It is OFTEN a terrible taxi ride up to/from Sukhumvi Its only a 10-15 minute walk to sukhumvit road / BTS Station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samgrowth Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Was told that this hotel was initially planned as a mega massage parlour Like Chuvit's another place - Poseidon. It does look a bit like it too. Poseidon is a place people go for paid sex (sad by legal in Thailand). Poseidon is not own by Chuwit. It is own by the Ministry of Commerce - to boost tourism, I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
