    If you're a serious gym goer then you can't beat the Muscle Factory at On Nut. Bit of a hike but it's the best gym in Bkk. 250bt for a day pass.

    Goodluck with the hotel hunt dude!

    Thanks for the additional info man! Worst case, I thought I would go to "thetrack" on Soi 15, but I did not see fitness24seven, it may be a good alternative (at least, it is a cheaper one)!
    About eleven hotel: before asking here, I sent them an email saying that I could not see what I was looking for on the pictures from their websites. Their answer was: You can see the gym facilites on our website

    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.

    Hi. I will be visiting in Feb from Feb 28 - March 2nd. I am not much of a tourist and plan on sticking to just couple of bars and staying close to it. I will probably just stick to CIB during the evening and in the day times I don’t know what I will be doing. Probably will have some nice massages during the day time. How close CiB and other famous places like Nana plaza

    This must be a fairly new build…everything looks pretty fresh and clean.
    Got to my room. They are quite small, but fairly well laid out.  Downsides are that it has a mini bar with regular exorbitant hotel prices.  I’d much rather an empty fridge and I’d stock it myself.  It also only has one drawer and that’s located in the bathroom by the clothes closet.  So storage is almost non existent.  I’ve kept most of my crap in my suitcases and littered the tv stand with the rest. It’s also quite dark in the bathroom.  Aside from those things it’s fine.  Lots of electrical sockets and has modern hookups for the TV if you want to hook up your streaming gear.  I don’t know how good the wifi would be for that though.
    I figured I didn’t get an upgrade, but it turns out I did.  All the room’s except the suites are the same size.  My room was considered an upgrade because it has a good view. Half of the rooms have a totally obstructed view because there is a condo very near to it on one side.
     






  8. Love

    Just checked in here after my first three nights in town at the Mercure.
    I did some contact work this year and was in a Marriot hotel for about two months. This gave me enough points to become a Marriot Bonvoy Platinum member and I’m using all those points to stay here for eight days.
    My first impressions are very good. Seems quite nice and has a good vibe to it. Check in was fine, but my room was waiting for final inspection so I’m writing this as I wait for it.
     I’m not sure if it’s because of my status or because I had to wait for my room to be made up, but they gave me a voucher for a free drink at the pool bar.
    The pool bar area is nice, but quite small. I estimate the pool is at least 20 metres, so I can get some laps in (provided I’m the only one using it, but I probably will be as I like to swim in the mornings).  It gets all the morning sun too which is a bonus…the Mercure pool area is a lot bigger, but doesn’t get sun until the afternoon.
    I was expecting a basic drink as my freebie, but the bartender Nan made me a legit Long Island iced tea. So far so good. There isn’t a smoking area on the pool floor (10) so I came down to the eighth floor for that.  
    I’ll add more to this review as I check out my room and the gym and what not…I just wanted to get it started while I’m waiting.
    Oh, and here’s a bonus…taking a lovely lady home from the CIB Christmas party is going to be a quick trip, lol
