chiang mai Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Anybody have any recommendations for decent inexpensive hotels in the Soi Nana/Sukhumvit area, plus or minus a few Soi's. I know the area well but am hard pressed to identify somewhere new and reasonable outside of Dynasty, Nana City Inn and Mikes Place. Any recs. gratefully recieved. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaniel Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 The Crown Hotel between Soi 6 & 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Skipper Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 Nana Tai and the Woraburi are at the end of Soi 4. Free Tuk Tuks too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digger Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 Dynasty Inn Grande on Suk Soi 6 is probably the best of the hotels around that area relative to its price - its about 2200 baht a night and is comparable in rooms to the Landmark and Grand Majestic which are over 4000baht. Google for the Dynasty Inn to see the hotel but its good and has free internet in the rooms which is pretty unique. Still other cheaper hotels around but I think I would draw the line at the Sukhumvit Crown hotel - certainly a flea pit of a dump last time I looked but admit its cheap.

Crown Hotel== short time s*it hole Majestic Suites just around the corner from Soi 4 is the best 'cheaper 'hotel, but from a lot of reports on here, it is almost always full Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orangutan Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 Federal Hotel Sukhumvit Soi 11, about 1200 baht a night. Small pool, great coffee shop. Very clean, accommodating staff. -Orang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sukumvit Crown is down near the Emporium on the other side near Villa market around soi 25 and is a sh*thole. The Crown Hotel near Sukumvit soi 6 and 8 is quite alright!

Mai Krap Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 Still other cheaper hotels around but I think I would draw the line at the Sukhumvit Crown hotel - certainly a flea pit of a dump last time I looked but admit its cheap. The Sukumvit Crown is down near the Emporium on the other side near Villa market around soi 25 and is a sh*thole. The Crown Hotel near Sukumvit soi 6 and 8 is quite alright! The Sukumvit Crown on Soi six is the closest hotel to the esculater on the Nana skytrain, Its around 2 minutes walk or something. When you get off the skytrain its sits directly behind the big unfineshed carpark or building or whatever it is on the southern side or Nana Plaza side if you wish. If you jump A taxi it will go right past NaNa Plaza and turn left down the one way and drop you at the hotel, Its real convienent to get home from the Busstop or any of those little drink and eat joints down through there. Its far from being sleazy but it is classic Vietnam R&R and some of the guys who stay there have been customers since the late sixties. They have A great breakfest or at least it was the last time I stayed there with friends. The security is good and they have a decent parking lot if you take A car. Its far from the best kept secret but its clean and the rooms are big, I did get A scare when I woke up, They have very large plate mirrors next to the bed and I awoke to see A big hairy man laying there, I had A good laugh when I realized it was just me.

I had the misfortune to fall upon the place about 4 yrs ago!! Classic vietnam R+R? Well it certainly looked as though it hasnt been decorated since then. Breakfast, I cannot comment on as I didnt stay long enough to give it a try. In my opinion there are far more better choices in the area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxexile Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 20 metres inside soi 25, by the glashaus building , on the right is a new hotel , i cant remember the name , it has clean basic rooms ( bathroom , air , fridge , cable tv ) for 800 a night incl. breakfast. there is an italian restaurant , a minimart and an internet shop attached. i put up a cheapskate family member there recently , it has some affiliation with the youth hostel association , but dont let that come between you and your wallet. its clean , safe and well run. no guest entry though.

Ulysses G. Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 I had the misfortune to fall upon the place about 4 yrs ago!! Are you sure that you are not getting confused with the Crown that is closer to thhe Emporium? That is a REAL sh*t-hole, but only 500 baht with air and a swimming pool!

john b good Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 The Nana would be my choice. Nana would also get my vote. Only one problem though and, that is that it is currently booked out more than a month ahead (and that has gotta say something eh?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure that you are not getting confused with the Crown that is closer to thhe Emporium? That is a REAL sh*t-hole, but only 500 baht with air and a swimming pool! Thats what Im guessing too is they dont know there are two hotels with the same name. Not that it matters to me anyway, I dont stay there because I found A more convienent place next to some restraunts owned by friends but for the under A thousand baht places its pretty consistent and I have never been turned away by it being booked up. The last time I had friends stay at the bad Crown Hotel they went to the desk and complained there was A dead girl in the pool to basicly be told "Yes we know about that" I dont remember how that story ended but It ended badly for the girl never the less.

chiang mai Posted December 24, 2006 Author Share Posted December 24, 2006 And the answer is, Dynasty Crowne as the first choice (the good Crowne is full). Majestic Suites would have been even better but, no room at the Inn. Thanks for all your suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bacus Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 Anybody have any recommendations for decent inexpensive hotels in the Soi Nana/Sukhumvit area, plus or minus a few Soi's. I know the area well but am hard pressed to identify somewhere new and reasonable outside of Dynasty, Nana City Inn and Mikes Place. Any recs. gratefully recieved. Thanks Inexpensive. On Sukhumvit Soi 11/1, near the Nana Skytrain stop, you will find the Business Inn and the President Inn, both start around 600 baht for the cheap rooms with air. Slightly better/bigger rooms available too! You can see the Business Inn from Sukhumvit where the camera shop is. President Inn is near the turn in front of the Swiss Park Hotel. Slightly more expensive. Fortuna Hotel, on Sukhumvit Soi 5, near the Foodland. Figure around 1200 baht with free breakfast buffet. (The breakfast buffet is open to the public too!) Family. The Atlanta is a good price but the sign that says "No Sex Tourists Allowed" is a turn off. I think it is on Soi 2, the hotel is at the end of the street near the church. Okay for families I suppose. I used the Sukhumvit Crown (between Sukhumvit Soi 6 and Sukhumvit Soi 8) off and on for 8 years. They also have a fan only room that is around 570 baht per night. The "all you can eat" buffet often has some good stuff. The thing that kept me coming back was that the hotel would store stuff for you. Sometimes I kept a bag there for over 3 months - never had a problem with the hotel! (Mirrors on the ceilings in some rooms.) Some people have left their bags there for a year at a time. They have steadily been raising their prices over the last 3 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adammike Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 the fortuna hotel is now about 1800 it shot up about a year ago, I have asked around on other forums about the park hotel all replys negative and a charge for a guest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 Park Hotel on Soi 7. The Dude knows this hotel quite well having been inside friend's rooms several times in the past few years Pros: price, outside appearance cons" guest charge, moldy smell inside, mice, cock roach infestation in rooms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 Sukhumvit Crowne btw Soi 6 and 8 my friend stayed there and had $1000 USD stolen out of a regualr pants belt with a zipper on the inside. This was packed, he thinks, inside his backpack locked I must add that he was confused as to who could have taken it and even whether it occurred in the Crown's room or not possibilities as he says: 1. inside Lolitas: stolen as he was showering 2. 1 of 2 Girls he slept with in Crown 3. Maid(s) from Crown that's all the suspects Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 How about that lovely Miami? Now that's a top location if you don't mind cat sized rats in your room. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
