Le Fenix Sukhumvit is a fun little hotel in Bangkok
I have only stayed here the once back in February 2009 and I liked the hotel a lot, though I should think about using it again
I always recommend to those who love clubs and bars.So it's a convenient hotel with no joiner fees if you choose to take a bar girl or freelancer back to your room. The reception is on the first floor and their is a lift in the car park that takes you straight up using your key card. Or if you wish you can go via reception
The place is designed in line with club and party minded guests. There is a decent roof top bar on the top floor called the Nest and even though the building is 8 stories tall you still get a decent view of the surrounding area. I went a each night but on the last night gave it a miss, As I swear that's were the mozzies bit me all down my arms, while lying sipping cocktails on one of the beds.
There's a small swimming pool and gym. A free tuk tuk ride to the BTS Nana station which is right in front of Sukhumvit Soi 11. Though the biggest perks is you get free entrance to Q Bar and Bed Supperclub (only during non-special events). Normally you'd have to pay 500THB to 700THB entry free just to get in to both clubs. And you also get 20% off for food at Bed Supperclub so it pays to be a hotel guest at Le Fenix.
The hotel is located a little ways down on Suk Soi 11. About 300 meters and right across from Q Bar. So it's easy to find.
Though if you find the walk a little bit too far, the hotel does provide tuk tuk service to take you to the entrance of Sukhumvit road. And right in front is the BTS Nana station.
And the location is an ideal point for visiting Soi Cowboy or Nana go go bars. Because it's right in between the two red light districts. So you can walk to either one in about 10 minutes.
As I mentioned earlier you book a standard or superior room for about 1400THB through Agoda.com. It's not a bad price at all for a 3 star hotel in the middle of everything a single guy could need.
And it's a guest friendly hotel right on Sukhumvit so no problems with inviting bar girls or freelancers to a room there. Here's the email confirmation below for your reference:.
The only annoying problem I had was the light in the wardrobe would not go out when you shut the doors. most honest hotel I have stayed. I forgot to shut the safe door one morning and when I arrived back at the hotel, Their was a note saying to go to reception. They went up to the room opened the safe, as the cleaning staff told them it was open so they set it back to reset. I checked and everything was in order. Big tip for cleaning staff when I left as well as recption.

I just stayed there twice in the last 2 months, and the WiFi is good, and privacy is great. I stayed last in room 303 and previous in room 204 I believe. They are both superior rooms with sofas and are quite comfortable. The only downside for me is dealing with the riff raff on that part of Suk every night going to and from Nana.
When you come out of soi 7/1 go straight up the sky train steps and then down the other side to avoid them or go down to the left and head down soi 8 and through soi 6 into soi 4. It makes a nice change.

A fantastic place to stay.
Pros - LB friendly no joiners fee, lovely new rooms, free wifi, Nice roof top swimming pool, A nice little terrace at the side of the hotel to have a quite beer before going soi 4 and drinks a reasonable as is the food. Just remember if you are going to the toilet remember the step (cleanest toilets in Thailand.
Cons - it a 5 minute walk down soi 2 to the hotel. It's the next hotel after Aspen suites
