    The Nana Hotel has a pool and a Jacuzzi, couldn’t be more LB friendly, and is arguably the closest hotel to NEP.

     

    The perfect place for newbies.

     

    All true. As a newbie, plenty of advantages if you stay there, it is well known to cabs at the airport, it is in the middle of everything, easy egress when you check out (near to expressway), pool, breakfast buffet included in price. Security guard takes IDs at a desk by the elevator. A good home base for your first trip to Bangkok and easy to get your bearings with the Nana Hotel as your starting point.

    If you do go for Nap-Inn, just don't expect a fantastic response from e-mail. It depends on who is working / checking the reservations emails.

    On a reservation last year, I emailed them a couple of time and still no response, so I phoned them (they dont speak English BTW) and asked why no one emailed me back, to which I was told, "Its email, of course we got it, you have reservation already. We would reply if its fully booked and no space for you". They spoke to me in a sort of "Farang crazy - he want too much" kind of attitude. TIT i suppose !! :D

     

     

    All of the hotels I mentioned will send you an email reservation confirmation. I've stayed in all of them over the past 18 months. All of them will have a room waiting for you. As for the Nap-Inn, I couldn't say, but "luvyoulongtime" brings up an important point. And there is that old saying that goes like this and usually holds true: you get what you pay for..

    So, got my tickets to BKK in April, its gonna be hooot, so a pool would be lovely.

    I'm on a tight budget, so looking for a cheap LB friendly hotel as near as possible to NEP. Gonna be just 2-3 days and then of to explore the rest of Thailand...

    NEP-INN was recommended to me on this forum, but they don't seem to have a pool, they are just 800Baht a night, and thats cheap in NANA if i got it right.

    OR, optionally, could I use a pool at some hotel for a fee?

     

    Oh, this might sound like a stupid Q but where EXACTLY is NEP

    Found a site with this GPS cord. N13°44.492’, E100°33.187’

    Is this right?

    EDIT:

    Swiss Park Hotel

    Hotel Renovation Plan

    - The hotel will be temporary closed for refurbishment in March 2010

    - The hotel will be rebranded, target to complete in August 2010

     

     

    Look into the Stable Lodge on Soi 8. Should be LB friendly but not 100% sure. They have a nice pool but nightly rate is greater than 800 baht. If I recall correctly, more in the 1500-1600 baht range. Pretty close to NEP.

     

    The Majestic Suites are LB friendly and are roughly 1500 baht. Very close to NEP. Although they do not have a pool, they will give you access to the pool of their sister property, the Majestic Grande, which is 2 blocks away. You'll have to walk there to use the pool so that is a little bit inconvenient. FYI--Majestic Grande is in the 3000 baht and up range but LB friendly.

     

    Also 2 blocks away from NEP is the Aspen suites. They have a lovely pool. Cost is about 2000 baht and up. LB friendly.

     

    If you are willing to spend about 2200 baht, then Dynasty Grande has a nice pool and LB friendly. Close to NEP.

     

    Also, Nana Hotel is very close and has a pool. LB friendly. However, I don't like to stay there anymore although I have some fond memories of it from the early and mid 1990's. Read reviews of it at Trip Advisor for clarification. I think you can do better.

     

    Google Nana Plaza. You should be able to find a map of it. It is directly across from the Nana Hotel and around the corner from the Majestic Suites. Hope this helps.
