I was an idiot just posting the reply just now. I should have gone to the Booking.com website and read the replies the Aira hotel gives to questions they receive. They clearly state that guests are welcome to the room but must leave ID with reception. The girl turned away may have been trying to sneak in without ID.

Staying at the Aira from the 21st July for the first time. I have only a few days left to cancel. Anyone else heard of problems bringing someone to the room? King Seti do you know that route to the lift as you were taking someone back there?

Stayed at Landmark on my last trip in August. As you said Nick no issues regarding noise. Planning trip to bkk around February. Probably stay there again. Good hotel, ok pool, excellent service, convenient for my favourite soi’s 11 and 8, CIB and Cindy’s. And absolutely no issues with bringing someone back

If you are looking for a hotel with decent size rooms, good beds, service and bathrooms that are cleaned and towels changed every day in a central location then Dynasty Grande on Soi 6 fits the bill. No breakfast available and the pool is a little shaded. But plenty alternatives around for food. Currently at 2:5 Baht a night

I think Kingdomguy, it reflects my normal holiday activities or my chosen lifestyle that unfortunately I did not mention Landmarks gym nor could say anything about it!

Staying at Landmark for part of my holiday next month. Premium corner rooms are very good. Nice pool, ok breakfast and was completely ignored by staff when I brought my LB friends on my previous stay.

Some like Dynasty Grande it is over 20 years of age but most is over 21. Sensible either way as you don’t want to be caught with a minor. Taking ID’s at reception seems a sensible precaution. Not only because for some LB’s it’s impossible to tell their age, but the phone call from reception to your room in the morning asking is everything OK before they hand back the ID is an added security. Funny, I’ve stayed recently for three weeks at both the Landmark and the Mercure on Soi 11 and never once was my companion for the night asked to show her ID. You would think for that standard of hotel it would be compulsory. Maybe they don’t want the girls around the reception at check out time. They want the guests business, but turn a blind eye to their activities.

Thanks for all the replies. Great information.

Thanks ARI23

Arriving in bkk for the month of July. I usually take a hotel that is close to most of my nightly activities and near the skytrain. Dynasty Grande, Landmark, Dream etc. I am looking at Soi 11. Hotel 11 or the Mercure. Anyone have experience and information of these hotels? I have seen the hotel Legacy Suites Soi 29, on Booking.com with great rates and the facilities looks very good. Does anyone have experience of this hotel? Would it become a bit of a drag returning there early in the morning?

Having an issue trying to rejoin TF for my next planned trip mid-July. I don’t usually bother until I am in Thailand and let my subscription lapse when I leave. Also, I have had a number of poor experiences in recent trips, not looking like their photos, arriving high on drugs etc that I did not use it on my last trip. But I thought it would be good to see who was around in advance. I signed in with a new username but when I try to upload a photo as requested I repeatedly get an error message saying it cannot be uploaded at this time. Anyone else had this problem and managed to fix it?

Thanks for the info mespicy

Anyone have an opinion on the Mercure Hotel on Sukhumvit Soi 11? I stayed at the Dream hotel last time and was very good. No issues. But recently I have tried to change hotels on each trip. The hotel looks good, good location and nice pool.

I agree Oliver. Comments that focus on maintenance and standards, especially housekeeping, are what is important to me. There are comments on Booking.com about the Sofitel, which I believe is only a few years old, that it needs renovation!

Interesting suggestion regarding Residence suites Oliver. Seems very good value for a one bedroom suite. When did you last stay there? As usual contradictory comments on Booking.com. Some say great facilities others say needs renovation. Comments that pool is great others that sun beds hard and some broken. Any thoughts Oliver?
