Hotel prices

Wow. Have been browsing hotels for my trip in November

My normal haunt in Soi 11 has their pricing out for that period. All I can say is, I wish I could alter my charges to the same extent!. Over 200% percent more than normal! Actually about 220%!

Needless to say I kept looking. I found an apartment right in the triangle that looks to be ok. Has just joined Booking .com so no reviews as yet. By the photos it is not the Ritz but hopefully pleasant enough.

Fingers crossed

Try Trip.com. When I compared the rates given on the hotel that I eventually booked, Trip.com quoted me lower prices than Booking.com. It might not be the case for you but it was what I noticed. I hope this will help you.

I've found Agoda usually has the most competitive prices, they're also owned by booking.com but they usually have better deals for SEA. Also contacting hotels directly can sometimes net you a discount off of any publicly advertised rate, I contacted Maison Stay on Soi 4 directly and they offered me I think what would be like 10 AUD less a night than anywhere else I could find, plus late check out.

Keep an eye on prices. They often drop if vacancies remain high.

Sometimes I find booking direct is actually cheaper than going through one of the consolidators like Hotel.com or Agoda. It's always worth checking them all.

Use Trivago: https://www.trivago.com/  It will give you a view of the prices. Usually Agoda, Trip.com, and booking.com give you the lowest prices.

If you definitely want to stay on Soi 11, try NISA hotel: https://www.nysahotelbangkok.com/ 

If you do not mind to walk a little bit, opposite Soi 11 is Soi 8 with several hotels. I like Adelphi Suites there: https://www.adelphihospitality.com/destinations/adelphi-suites

I'm a nightmare for checking for a bargain, I'll have Agoda, Booking et al, all open on different tabs, including the hotel direct, plus Topcashback too, to see if any of the sites have any cashback offers. For my upcoming trip, I have a saved enough for a few ST, even if the cashback will take forever to come through :D

Agoda do have good price , but I find once you find the hotel you like do a google search on it and google will show you a list of price and often the price listing on google is cheaper then search under Agoda for the same hotel

Example:

GOOGLE - AGODA - $100

Search inside AGODA - $110

Agoda skips taxes and fees to make the price look lower. Be aware of the total.

I had a quick google and I can see you're right but I think most of these fees (local city, tourist or resort fees) haven't come up for me, as in, I haven't had to pay any additional fee beyond what was shown when I initially looked up a hotel/area. It seems more common if you have to pay at the property that you may have some additional fees added into your price, but I haven't ran into that yet and I've booked with Agoda 5 or 6 times now. I believe part of the reason why Agoda's prices can be more competitive is they essentially have much higher property inventory than other hotel booking sites.

I have decided that if I am going to spend good money, that I will go back to my top pick from May, being Citichic Soi 13 Sukhimvit. It certainly made an impression. It has been renovated and completely made over. Made an impression on my girl who by the way has become a bit of a fixture. Soon as she walked in it was "wow, this is nice!". Mind you it may have been because I was standing in the buff and pointing at the bed!:Rolling___:

I get a Genius 3 rate on Booking.com so save a little.

Nice hotel. I do not walk well so I stay closer. Petit Salil on Soi 11 or Dawin on Soi 4. Cindy's or Why Not respectively. Get the better rooms.

Clearly shows taxes on their mobile site.

I must admit....after seeing their room and the one with bunk beds inside the room my imagination ran offgrid... It must be my Viking blood hahaha. Look like a great hotel. I recognise their web similar from Citrus ( my go to in Soi6).... Same same, but different

Hi Nick,

any on ground reviews on Nysa? Have just booked for a few weeks time two nights only.

Walk to CIB 11 & Cindy looks acceptable, a bit further for the others.

reviews look good.

Booked higher price room as look better and never book the dog box size.

Maybe an Aussie rule. Here, the taxes and fees are additional on Agoda, but included on Booking.

Stayed there last month. It’s a fantastic hotel, I really enjoyed my stay. The pool area is amazing, the bed was large and comfortable. Even in the height of low season, it was a very busy hotel. It’s a 2 minute walk to cib11 so was all good. 

Thanks for the review. I decided to give them a try in October, so canceled my Citrus Suites Soi 6 reservation. There are a few things I don't like about Citrus Suites (lame pool, weak restaurant), and I really like the Soi 11 neighborhood vibe a lot more than Soi 4. Got myself upgraded to one of their pool view rooms.

I just booked again myself for the Xmas period. When I checked last week it was around 4500b a night, so when it was sitting at 3000b yesterday, there was no hesitation in pulling the trigger. 
 

I used to really like citrus when it first opened, but for the price they want, there are much better options.
