Well, I completed my stay at the Ambassador Hotel, and I have to say, overall, it was a big disappointment. The location is good, close to a few important areas, and offers good access to the BTS. However, the first big letdown for me was the atmosphere. I didn't feel relaxed in the hotel's lobbies; it seemed more geared towards accommodating large groups. So an English guy smoking weed on the lobby steps stood out like a sore thumb.
The room itself was a good size and had a small sofa and coffee table, which was a plus. However, the bathroom was terrible. The extractor fan was loud and made the entire ceiling vibrate. The shower head was fixed and sprayed water everywhere. I managed to address this issue by cleaning the head with a dental kit, but the lack of a detachable head was not appealing to the ladies, if you catch my drift. On my final night, the toilet malfunctioned; the flush wouldn't stop, and it took maintenance hours to come and fix it.
So, I had one extra day in Bangkok and was determined to free myself from the Ambassador. I tried booking a room at Hotel Eleven, but unfortunately, they had no rooms available. Nonetheless, I did have a good look around, and it seemed much better, with a tucked-away location. In the end, I returned to my old faithful, Dynasty Inn, for my final night.

Thanks for the recommendation of Hotel eleven, I will book it next time. 
 

Stayed here plenty of times, incl most recent trip in Feb.
Usually split my stay between this hotel and a more upclass hotel at 50-50 ratio.
Great choice for pricre range.
Pros:
- Location location location (stone throw away from Cindy's and lustys ladybar), 5 min walk to CIB and 7 min walk to NEP and WN
- LOTS of FLs in soi 11 
- One of the best hotel gyms. A little outdated but huge variety of machines and free weight. They charge non-guests 400b per visit. They also do nightly muay thai for all levels and 1 on 1 for reasonable prices (no farang surcharge).
- Awesome joiner policy. Says max of 1 guest and must leave ID (standard), but they don't mind if u bring multiple anx not leave ID (at your own caution for theft etc). Elevator is near entry and quite far from reception so they don't really pay that much attention to you bringing guests which would be handy for shy guests bringing LBs back
- 2000b pnight(or thereabouts) gets you the deluxe, which is bigger than most rooms in the price range, albeit a little outdated - though clean
 
Cons
- Don't bother with brekky. Just, don't. Plenty of food nearby instead
- Check in between 2-5pm can be a little long
- Non smoking rooms. Smoking area downstairs near entry
- Clientele not very desirable groups of people, but I choose to ignore that haha
- Most rooms have those showers that are mixed with the bath tub (even the deluxe and prestige rooms). 

Someone was asking if Yonglee Duck restaurant was open in another thread but i cannot find (even using the search).
The restaurant is open for business again.
This was last night around 7.30pm.

Sound like French soup. 
I could go for a Ladyboy sausage platter as a main course, with some creamy ladyboy bisque.
