Sukhumvit Psycho

I was pretty sure I read some good reviews about Windsor Suites Bangkok in the forums and elsewhere.

S15 Sukhumvit hotel is the little brother of S31 Sukhumvit hotel, a bit cheaper, with less facilities, but an even better location.

Here is what happened to reader Shiva1961: “I wrote to the Omni to check that it was guest friendly [...]

Majestic Suites Bangkok is a boutique hotel located on Sukhumvit Road, 100 meters from the intersection with Sukhumvit soi 4. For Nana fans and Lolita’s addicts, the location is great. For BTS users it’s very good as well, as the Nana BTS station is only minutes away. In a previous post (here) 3 different readers [...]
