Hahah this happened to me too once, I was like "oh really?" Oh well it's too late!

Slightly off-topic here, but, unlike HKT, most hotels in Suk (and beyond) are guest friendly. Phuket on the other hand, almost every hotel (all budgets, even shitty ones near bangla) are charging min 500-1k for joiner. I know this as I have just booked my accom for September and I rang 16 hotels that were previously joiner friendly (as per booking dot com QA) are no longer offering free joiner. Sorry, I know it's not Suk related but just thought I'd share. In Suk on the other hand, have never had an issue with joiner.

Since you quoted AUD, can only assume you are an uneducated bogan living in a little town in Australia. If you don't like non-white PEOPLE, perhaps you shouldn't leave your little bubble and just go for a holiday in Coober Pedy next time champ. Racism is not okay.

Most recent stay was in Jan 2024. Wouldn't stay in the tower wing, which is the unrenovated side (last stayed there in Feb 2023). Sky wing (superior and above) are adequate, but considering the price point and the quality of the gym (also for that price point), it has me coming back almost every trip (I go twice / 3 times per year). If you have a long stay, I wouldnt spend more than a week there though, the crowd isn't very desirable IMO. I personally always split Amb + another hotel for my LOS visits. In general though, showing its age, even the renovated side, but good for 2k THB p/n in superior. Deluxe is the same as superior, just higher floors and unobstructed view of the city.

Thanks heaps @Edisto

Goodness gracious , I missed this post / photo. Where can this beauty be found? TF I'm guessing?

Hahah not the most ideal response from a hotel Goodluck with the hotel hunt dude!

Also, might be worth knowing for you, there is a gym near NEP called fitness24seven 500b per visit, 2000b per month. That way you don't actually have to find a hotel woth a gym. Hope this helps!

Hey mate, like yourself, having a well equipped gym is one of the factors I consider when I choose a hotel. Ambassador soi 11 defs is up there for a hotel gym at this price range (1600thb or so p/night). There is no pull up bar/station though, however they do have lat pulldowns. On my most recent visit, they also updated 50% of their machines so you get half new and half old-ish but still very very functional. Keep in mind that they also allow casual use for 299thb per visit for non hotel guests (reduced from 400b per visit) Another one with an awesome gym is legacy suites, but it is in soi 29, so quite a bit of a walk away from all the action - but the rooms here are superb and still at around 2000thb per night. Have never stayed at hotel eleven.

Wow 3-5? Goodluck, I'm sure it'll be a good night out haha Isn't it funny when it comes to budgeting? I don't like spending over a certain amount for accomodation a night, yet, happy to spend a larger amount on punting hahah Priorities of life

My preferred in soi 11 is ambassador due to the very relaxed joiner policy (take 2 or 3 lbs with no issue as you don't pass reception) and the outsanding fitness facility for the price point. Even if reception stops you, it'll only be to scan their ID for security purposes (actual joiner policy is 1 guest with no surcharge if the room is booked for 2 people) 2000b per night gets you the superior. Don't stay in cheaper rooms (standard), they're quite outdated. Location wise: it's a few meters away from cindys/mercure

til 10am if I'm not mistaken!

My fave for soi11 is ambassador Very relaxed joiner policy and great gym + location 2000b gets ya the superior with brekky

Removed about 3 or 5 in BKK approx 5 years ago. Left small "white spot" marks, not really scar, but remember that everyone heals differently too (based on age, general well being, nutrition and skin type/colour)

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).
