I stayed at Phachara twice in a year some years ago. The first time was ok and there was no joiner fee for 1 guest. The 2nd time was late in the year and my massage lady said that they imposed a fee on ‘her’, the last time she visited a customer. I took her in w/o question except just for her ID. And they apparently do this to girls who come in in the wee hours. I believe there is someone taking advantage and bullying girls for cash. I found that their services had deteriorated and everything else was getting sloppy so that was my last with them. Then I tried Clover in Asoke but the rooms were small. Everything else was very good. No joiner fee here. Centrepoint Suk 10 was next and this was fine. No joiner fee too. My favourite remains Adelphi Grande. This is perfect although it is a tad far from Phrom Phong.

Small market by Bangkok standards open from 4pm to midnight. More emphasis on food stalls. I cant comment on quality although the Cooper dry aged Steaks stall is decent. Live music throughout and they rotate.

I have had 3 stays with Adelphi. It fits with my location requirement which is to be close to both the MRT & BTS stations making travel relatively easy. Bikes and cars aren't exactly the best ways to travel in Bangkok. There is a Tops supermarket at the beginning of the soi so that is a great convenience and the Phrom Phong BTS station is some 300m from the main road. The hotel is good in that the rooms are well equipped and large. The washer/dryer requires less luggage and I find this ideal. Breakfast was part of my pkg but much of what they serve is pork to cater to the Jap clientele but I am generally comfortable with eggs and toast. But they should cater to others too. Room service is on time and this is something I am particular about. Staff are attentive and good at what they do. I am sure I would return in future.

Yes it is actually. Guest friendly. They actually send my guests up to my room. This is my 3rd stay with them.
