    Thanks for this 'Thanks'.  It's much appreciated.  I'm looking at this hotel for my upcoming trip.  I wanted to stay at a different hotel this time around as the last few years I've stayed at Hotel Icon, and it's starting to look a bit "tired" to me - unless they've done some recent updates, I'm not sure.

    Was the street noise pretty bad?  

    Cheers

    Hey to all fellow BM's,

     

    After a couple of years away from BKK, I will be making my return in the new year, around the end of January 2017. This time around, I am looking to stay in a serviced apartment rather than a hotel as the visit will be a longer one, from 10-14 nights.

     

    I've come across Thai Nice @15 Sukhumvit Residence and was wondering if anyone had any experience staying there.

     

    Things/amenities I'm looking for:

     

    1. Proximity to NEP (the closer the better) and obviously guest friendly

    2. Free Wi/Fi

    3. In room washer/dryer would be great

    4. Pool/Hottub/Sauna

    5. Close to a BTS

     

    Thai Nice @15 offers all the above, but looking for feedback from BM's.

     

    Or any other suggestions would be appreciated!

     

    TIA!

    The gym is small. But sufficient enough for a few nights stay there, I think.

     

    While I'm at it, here are a couple of shots of the outdoor pool:

    It's quite hot out today. I think I will try the pool later this afternoon.

    I am currently staying at Hotel Icon. Booked through booking.Com. Located on Soi 2, a quiet street, about a 15 second walk from Annie's Soapy Massage. Easy to just cut through from the parking lot to get to the action on Soi 4.

     

    It's a newish, modern hotel. Pretty stylish. Pool and gym on the 6th floor. Across the hotel are bakeries, a Starbucks, Cafés, and a McDonald's. Located in between Nana and Ploenchit BTS stations...5 minute walk to either one, so it's very convenient to get around.

     

    This is a guest-friendly hotel. They take the girl's passport/id and front desk calls up to the room to make sure you're OK before giving her id back and letting her on her way. All in all, a pretty decent hotel and I would stay here again.

    Ok, cool! Thanks Pagrev.

     

    Actually, I just went and reserved a room at Boss Suites. They quoted me 1600baht/night without breakfast so I booked through Agoda instead and it was 1359baht/night. I know Boss Suites is a little further away, but the price is really attractive. And with free cancellation, I figured it would be better to just reserve the room (and price) for now. But I will definitely keep an eye out for Hotel Icon since it looks so modern and fresh.

     

    Thanks again for the review Pagrev!

    I heard back from Hotel Icon Bangkok and here is their reply in regards to bringing guests back:

     

    "With regards to your question, we do not have joiner fee. However please be reminded that our normal occupancy per room is 2 person, therefore if there is a 3rd person staying the night, there will be an additional charge of THB 800 per night. Our maximum capacity per room is 3 person."

     

    Ummm, at 1900baht/night (Agoda), I think I will keep an eye out and see if prices drop.

    Thanks Siam Man.

     

    I should've looked closely...yup...it says free WiFi on Agoda too. Yeahhh...6,666 baht for 3 nights is too much. I was looking on Agoda for mid Jan 2015, which is when I will be there and it's advertised as 1682 baht per night (OK? I think...). Dawin just raised their prices to 1805 baht per night on their site :wacko: which is why I'm looking for other hotels that's a slight ways from NEP. But I see iCheck Inn Sukhumvit Soi 2 is only 1,499 baht/night during the same dates....hmmmm...plenty of reviews here on that property...hmmm...I think we may have found a winner...

    Hi all, trip is confirmed and trying to settle on a hotel. Trying to figure out other options (other than Dawin) and came across this property on Agoda and the prices seem reasonable and close to a couple of BTS (within 5 minutes) and a few minutes to NEP.

    Tried a search on the forum first but didn't come across anything....or perhaps a name change?

     

    Anyway, has anybody have any experience staying at this hotel? Are they guest friendly? Free wi-fi?

     

    Thanks in advance to fellow BM's for any info provided!

    I stayed at Dawin last November for 4 nights. It's a good hotel. Newer and modern. I booked a standard room and it was spacious enough with a shower and a bathtub. Guest friendly. F/D calls your room after your friend leaves to make sure everything is OK. It's about a good 5 min brisk walk to NEP. There's a 7-11 next door for snacks, drinks, and of course, rubber ;) . Stupid me didn't get to try the swimming pool last time, as I'm sure the girls would have loved it. I plan on booking a room again this year. I like this hotel because it's a bit a ways from all the action so I found it peaceful and quiet there.

    Hi all,

     

    Great source of info on here. I'm finally heading back to Bangkok this November after 8 years and have booked at the Dawin in the Superior room for a few nights.

    Does anybody know how far of a walk it is to Soi Cowboy? I kind of want to check out the action there as well and bring a guest back. I don't want to change hotels.

     

    But I guess there's always the Tuk Tuk option....
