I recently stayed at the Grand Inn on Soi 3, Sukhumvit. Very close to the action just on the other side of Sukhumvit from Soi 4. I was basically trialing a new place and only stayed there one day on my way back from Phuket. I found the service to be great and the desk very friendly to me and my guest. I checked out of the Majestic Suites on a Thursday and headed to Phuket. I didn't want to lug my big bag down for just the weekend so I asked if I could leave the bag with them and pick it up Sunday when I checked in. No problem. I didn't want to ask Majestic Suites to hold it with me not staying there on return so it really helped me out.   Very friendly to my ladyboy guest. The security guy asked for her ID at night but the desk person said she checked in with me.   I didn't get to use the internet as I my time was short on return and going otu that night. Check out was Noon, but they gave me an extra hour on request. We didn't get out of the room until 1:15 and they didn't say a thing or call up. Very friendly on check out and checking in.   The room was a bit small and the shower was in the tub. Also there is little to no room around the sink.   It had a safe, big closet, old style turn key, 24 hour reception and a security guy who opens the door for you.   It's kind of crowded on Soi 3 and not easy to see.   It's an older hotel, but has been remodelled so it looks nice in the lobby and the rooms.   Deluxe Double was $40.13 AUD tax included. The view was poor on my side with just a old building. Had a narrow balcony for smoking I guess.   Great proximity to Soi 4/Nana/Soi 5 (Foodland, CIB, and lots of eating places. 7/11 just next door)   Drawbacks - crowded sidewalks going in an out of hotel, small size room and bathroom, but plenty of room around the bed.         Booked through Agoda and noticed the same room over New Years is $205 AUD a night ouch!   http://www.agoda.com/grand-inn-hotel/hotel/bangkok-th.html?
