Guest Friendly Bangkok Hotels
85My Top 5 Picks For Guest Friendly Hotels in Bangkok
Guest friendly, girl friendly and no joiner fees are terms that typically refer to a hotel in Bangkok that do not charge extra fees for bringing an unregistered guest into your room, even if you booked for two.
Non-guest friendly hotels I find is an unfair business practice that is prevalent throughout the hotel industry in Bangkok. In my opinion it's just a quick way for hotels to generate extra cash and I respect their right to do so.
The good news is that there are plenty of guest friendly hotels in Bangkok. From budget rates to the best 4 star luxury hotels, you'll find my personal review and what I like about each hotel below. The majority of guest friendly hotels in Bangkok are located along Sukhumvit road. In the area you will find plenty of restaurants and pubs that are mostly popular among the tourist, expat community and well to do Thai yuppies.
The hotel reservation company I've been using to book my rooms is called Reservations 24. They are based and licensed in Thailand so they have good discounted rates for hotels. All of their quoted rates include tax and most include free breakfast.
You can also check out Bangkok Guest Friendly Hotelsfor a list of hotels categorized by location near the red light districts as well as price and class. I already did the work of pulling the prices for you, but keep in mind hotel rates fluctuate with from season to season. But the rates you see here will give you a general guideline on what kinds of room rates you can expect.
1. Ambassador Hotel Bangkok
Rates start at 2100THB per night includes taxes and breakfast.
The Ambassador Hotel in Bangkok is a uniquely shaped building right in the commercial district of Sukhumvit. It's also one of the best guest friendly hotels in Bangkok.
What makes this hotel my #1 pick? To start off the Ambassador Hotel is very clean. The rooms are well maintained by the hardworking housekeeping crew and to me the staff are very professional. The beds are nice and comfortable for my taste and the bathrooms are a decent size for a big guy like me.
Next, the location of the Ambassador Hotel is ideal and strategically positioned for nightlife action. It's close to popular clubs and bars nearby and if that's not enough, check out the the parking basement below where you'll find the new Climax Club. A very popular pick up joint with great live music and entertainment.
If that's still not enough for you then the Sky Train station is just a few minutes away. Just hop on and you can visit places such as Patpong easily.
You can also walk to Soi Cowboy, it would take about 5-10 minutes, but it's best to take a taxi or a tuk tuk since it's so cheap.
The final reason is because the Ambassador Hotel is a really good value and I'm really surprised that it doesn't cost more. This hotel is not only my #1 choice but many of my friends and tourist as well.
Nana Hotel Room
2. Nana Hotel Bangkok
Rates start at 1450THB ($41 USD) per night includes taxes and breakfast.
The Nana Hotel in Bangkok is definitely not the sort of hotel you'd take your girlfriend or a family to. I'm not saying this because the rooms are bad, I'm saying this because this hotel is right in the heart of the beast. Just outside in the parking lot is a freelance supermarket.
Hundreds of freelance prostitutes are out here just after 9pm looking and waiting for customers. If that's not enough for you then head right across the street to Nana Entertainment Plaza. It's a small four story building filled to the brim with go-go bars and pubs. The vicinity of the hotel is not short on action. Especially downstairs in the lobby where you will find Angel Disco. The last time I was there, the entry fee is 300THB with two coupons for drinks. Ladies can go in for free. It's worth it to watch some really pretty girls dance.
This hotel is also close to the Nana Sky Train station which can take you to other sight quickly and cheap.
The Nana Hotel definitely gets top marks for night life action. But the room quality may become a problem as well as the poor customer service most people receive from hotel staff. But if you're the sort that can deal with such short comings then this hotel is right choice for you.
Inside the Opal Suite of Grand President
3. Grand President Hotel Bangkok
Rates start at 1999THB per night includes taxes and breakfast
The Grand President Hotel in Bangkok has very nice clean rooms and a wide variety of room types. My personal choice is the Opal Studio which is a basic standard room. Ask for the room in Tower 3 during check in because the rooms are newer as of writing. It's the only room typed I stayed in and to me it's really comfortable. The bedroom area is small, maybe because of the small kitchen to the side. The bathroom however, is a very decent size and clean.
The location of this hotel is pretty good. There are a lot of great clubs and bars nearby to sit, chill and people watch. And if you're looking for some pick up action there are plenty of freelancers on Sukhumvit road. And if you want even more choices just take a walk to Nana Entertainment Plaza or through the parking lot of Nana Hotel.
Still not enough for you. Then hop on the Sky Train at Nana station just a short 5 minute walk away.
My Video on Le Fenix
4. Le Fenix Sukhumvit Bangkok
Rates start at 1907THB per night includes taxes.
The Le Fenix Sukhumvit Bangkok is the only hotel I recommend here that is the furthest away from the main stretch of Sukhumvit road. But not a problem as the hotel provides a free tuk tuk ride to the main street. Otherwise it may take you 10-15 minutes to walk there yourself.
The major advantage of this hotel is that it's near a lot of up and coming bars and clubs. And there are a few tried true and tested hangouts such as Q Bar and Bed Supperclub really close by.
Now bear in mind most the clubs in these areas are frequented by higher class freelancers. Another words they demand more money. Now I'm only here to write about guest friendly hotels and not about how beautiful the woman are as beauty is the eye of the beholder as the saying goes.
La Fenix is a new hotel. I think they opened around 2006 or 2007 but everything inside this hotel is very modern and new. A very nice place to stay indeed.
My Video of Deluxe Room in Majestic Grande
5. Majestic Grande Sukhumvit
Rates start at 2999THB per night includes taxes and breakfast
I stayed in the Majestic Grande Sukhumvit hotel when it first opened some time back in 2006. Back then the rates were half of what they charged today. The rooms here are really nice and super modern. The rooms here are kind of small so don't let the hotels picture fool you. Still it's very nice and comfortable. The staff I found here are really professional and most speak decent amount of English.
The location is a real plus too as it's close to Nana Entertainment Plaza and the Nana Hotel parking lot, less then a 5 minute walk east. Just right across the street from the hotel's entrance is Annie's Sauna and Massage. It's one of those joints where you get bathed and massaged with a happy ending. Personally I've never been inside because I heard it's not worth it from my friends who've tried. So I can't comment on them.
However, the Majestic Grande Sukhumvit is a real nice place. The only reason why it's #5 is because it's the most expensive. If you can afford it then go ahead and stay here as its quite worth it.

Patpong in Bangkok, not to be confused with Patong in Phuket, has one of the wildest night life scenes in Southeast Asia. Patpong was the starting point of sin and debauchery during the days of the Vietnam war when soldiers from the US came to Thailand for rest and recreation. Forty years later the hordes of boot wearing soldiers have been replaced by the sandals of backpackers, single males, honeymooners and families from all over the world. - 4 weeks ago
