Just sharing my thoughts of the hotel. 
Location is excellent on sukhumvit soi 11. Staff was very friendly and gave a nice welcome. Kinnaree restaurant is part of the hotel which is open 24/7, hotel also have a travel agency inside. I booked the grand suite room. Room itself was spacious. Everything outdated, aircon wasnt that great as well. The bed was a major issue. Mattress way too hard. It felt like sleeping on the floor. Not sure if it was just my bed or all beds are the same? I did ask the staff, but they said its normal. No problem to bring guest to the room. No joiner fee. Security will ask for ID, and have the guest sign a document.

I had 2 nights booked, but checked out after one night. I just couldnt sleep well because of the bed. Bed is perfect for having sex on though, if that's something to have in consideration. 
There are so many hotels in Bangkok with good value for the money, for me this was not one of them. If someone have considered staying here, and dont like beds that are too hard then maybe this is some good advice to reconsider.

Thanks PB...more options are always good to have.

I enjoyed coffee at Kinaree several mornings.  A cheap and decent diner type place

I agree, they have some good food options for a decent price. Thai and western.

I agree. Great staff, great location. This is the hotel I booked into while my collegue stayed at On 8. Have stayed there a few times. They know me now and really helpful.

Not a long walk from CIB!.

As you say, the beds are hard. Have just booked the Grand Suite for August, but the beds nearly turned me off.

One feature that is good there is the outside eating area with seating facing the road, Great for lb watching. I picked up one from that seating!!!.

I checked out other hotels in the area but could not find anything to match the location, value etc. $75.00 AUD  a night. That is about my max budget when lb chasing. Can't see the point in paying more. Have not had complaints from the girls. Sorry I did. When my flight time got stuffed up I had to return to the hotel for the night. Just got an elcheapo room.

When I arrived back from CIB, with the girl, (starts with L and ends with y), said "oh it only has single beds". Funnily enough it did not matter a few minutes later!!. God she was good!.
