Hotel in BKK - Royal Benja

[Tengotodo 52]

A bit off topic here, but this seems to be the only hotel in BKK that even HAS availability in late december. Anyone ever been here?

I stayed there just over a year ago. Average hotel and a 500b joiner fee. Avoid it if you can get something else.

I just made a reservation yesterday at Majestic Suites for late Dec. Have you tried there?

I always stay in the Majestic Suites, it suits my needs perfectly.

It's quite small and a bit worn around the edges, just like me. The staff are always very friendly and with regards to bringing ladies back with you, I think it's expected - at least they always look at me funny if I return alone.

 

Come to think of it most people look at me funny.

Joiner fee?? Shit. I vowed to NEVER pay that! I tried most other hotels but they all seem booked for 12/29 through 12/31 in BKK. Stayed at Majestic Suites last time and while the room was okay, the breakfast was shit and the lady at the FD gave me a hard time. I will have to keep searching. Thanks.

Tengotodo,

 

I would suggest giving the Royal Asia a try assuming you have not done so already. Decent hotel at the bottom of Soi 8 with a tuktuk up and down to Sukhumvit.

thanks for the advice. I haven't had any luck yet for those two days, but I'll keep trying.

Stayed there and won't do it twice.

 

As stated above, 500 baht joiner fee. So two "guests" cost me 1000 baht/night!!

 

And it ain't all that great anyway. Not a shit hole, but starting to look a bit dated.

I stayed there with TGF some years ago. Nice big rooms, but the employees insulted her - we asked for a massage place and they asked if her customer wanted an other girl for a threesome and she's not a BG.

Thanks to everybody! I have decided to stay at the Majestic Suites afterall. I don't care for their rooms, but it's only 2 days until pattaya and MS does not charge for joiners (I'm sure of that)!
