Cheapish , but ok hotel between sois 7 and 11

[tugga 69]

I've always found on 8 to be pretty decent with a good location.

[Long John 1,584]

Well after much thought and deliberation, I have made an executive decision. After doodling around and finally booking Grand Business Inn, I have decided to make a change. Will spend the last night at Galleria on Suk 10, not far from CIB. Galleria has a pool. Would be nice to just chill out and relax.

Anyway the plan centres around spending time with a few girls, maybe 2 or 3, Lily being one of them over the first 4 nights I am in BKK. Those few nights will be at Grand Business, then down to Pattaya for a few nights, then back to BKK for the last day and night before I am off to Saigon. I really want to go out with a bang, so plan to make it something to remember.

If I prearrange it can I pay the bar fine and take the girl to my hotel around 2pm, before CIB opens?. Take her out to dinner etc, then maybe back to CIB for a few hours, before retiring back to the room for some gymnastics. Breakfast in the morning then off to the airport. Another trip over.

Well thanks anyway guys!.

I happened to find some reviews on Galleria 10 from November last year. Not flattering at all!.

Just wondering what you thought about your stays at the Grand Business Inn and Galleria on Suk 10. I'm considering these too if I can make it out there soon.

What's the latest on On 8 these days? Looks like a great location and price.

Citadines on soi 11 would’ve been a cheap option. Haven’t stayed there since 2018, so couldn’t give you an up to date review. But always consistently between 1600-2000b generally. 
 

just realised this was for an old thread

This is an old thread but the details matched my interests well so I thought it would be ok to carry on from it. I can start a new thread instead if that's more appropriate.

Regarding Citadines, is there much difference between the one on Soi 8 vs 11?  They both appear to be about the same distance from Nana BTS.

I stayed on Soi 8 recently at The Hope Land, it was absolutely fine, about 100 meters past the main action so fairly quiet.

It looked more like a long termers kind of place with a small kitchenette set up. No laundry option so you need to walk up the Soi to the wash lady.

For me, you can't beat Citrus Suites, positioned between 6 & 4 so everything Nana related is literally on your doorstep,  the cut through ally takes you into

Soi 8 in 5 minutes. Both of these are within the 1500-2k bracket with Citrus being the   better quality.

I would opt for soi 11 just purely because there is so much going on. Can grab freelancers yards from the hotel, good restaurants and bars. Citadines in soi 8 is quite far down the soi and is very quiet. As far as the hotels themselves, they are much of a muchness.

I agree with @taaseesanuk, Hopeland in Soi 8 is a nice and affordable place. Enjoyed many nights there last year. 

I can also recommend Travelodge in Soi 11, similar price range. A little further from WN and CIB, but crawling distance from Cindy's

Citrus 5 years ago was a fantastic hotel, starting to show some serious wear and tear now though. But for mongering it’s great, the night receptionist was always some old fella, never battered an eyelid when I rocked up with Oum, ploy, and Bewty 1 night.

What is with the wild colour rooms in the lyf Sukhumvit 8?

I have stayed in Galleria 10 a few times. It’s was good for the price. During the day I am always out so never use the pool or the bar. Never had any issues and I always bring back from CIB. 
Citadines on 11 have bigger rooms but a lot of noise from the bar’s outside. So loud it’s difficult to sleep.

Thanks. Similarly for me as well in that I never use the facilities like the gym, pool and bar. So just need a decent room and shower. Mirrors might be a nice addition.

Noise doesnt bother me as never in bed much before 5am anyway. Staying on soi 11 in general isn’t somewhere you should consider if you like early nights.

It depends on what you call an early night. In your case it’s early morning. In my case I sleep around midnight.

Check out Hotel Salil on soi 11, usually cheaper rates on Agoda.

Just stayed there last week. Clean, cold AC, fluffy comforters. Breakfast wasn't all that but it was filling and got the job done. I would happily stay there again.

Best feature is that it is less than 50 meters to Cindy's.

The rates are cheaper on Agoda because they don't include the taxes and fees. The only thing lower on Agoda is the service. Never again.

I've stayed at Atlas on Soi 7/1. They have 2 sites down there, I ended up in the one a little further up on the right hand side. No check in to pass at that site so very discreet (they do have a check in desk at the site on the left hand side btw), and it's right onto the street for action outside. Good price, clean, great location. A bit noisy late at night, so light sleepers may find it a bit much.
Also stayed at Ruamchitt Plaza. Again, great location (above Thermae) - very short walk to CiB, lots of options right outside in the evenings etc... A little more pricey than Atlas, but again clean and great location. Much quieter at night too. Plus they have a pool on the roof. Personally I preferred this as an option overall.

Both are decent options that won't break the bank, so more to spend on this hobby

Not in the the location you are asking but try Admiral Suites in Soi 22. Book directly with them for about 1300 baht a night for a large studio or 2200 for a 1 bedroom.
