Thanks @jaredblanc, but the Solitaire is too far out for my liking, it's a fair old stroll down Soi 11 to get to the Suk junction. The main reason for booking here is due to the room having a balcony, then for it's location, being pretty much central to everywhere I'd like to go, although if I were to take a girl form WN04, the taxi back will be a right pain in the ass by the looks of things. I also booked direct, it was less than half the price on Agoda, and I can cancel up to 3/4 days before my arrival. Not many places seem to have a balcony, unless you book a suite or similar, and costs jump considerably. I had looked at Parkroyal on Soi 6, whilst reasonably priced, they seem pretty strict on their non smoking policy, even on the balcony! Does anybody have any recommendations for somewhere pretty central, that also has a smoking friendly balcony?

Hey @gottalove, there's a recent thread here:
  I had initially booked at the hotel just because it was right next to CIB 10, but decided against it.

Though the rooms look quite nice, I'd say the space is small, and I feel that price-wise, you'll find bigger rooms elsewhere.

During my stay in Bangkok, I opted for a bigger room at the Solitaire on Soi 11, which at the time, wasn't as expensive as booking at Hotel 433. 
 

Hey all, I've just booked a room here, can't find any reviews here, although reviews elsewhere appear to be pretty good. I was looking for a reasonably priced place with a balcony, and this ticked the boxes for me. It's pretty much 10 minutes to everywhere. Any one out there stayed here? Or heard anything about the place? It is backing onto CIB10, so should come in quite handy, hopefully. Not sure which direction my balcony will face, so I may also have an interesting view in the evenings.

I could tell tales of my 'rhoids which would make you weep. Partly the reason why I never 'bottom'. Sorry, can't help the OP !

If instead of keeping on whining you just answered @ausmagoo's questions, your issue would have been resolved a while ago
