Nana HiSo Hotel, Sukhumvit soi 3, Bangkok

Monday, February 27th, 2012

The name is a bit misleading. Nana HiSo Hotel Bangkok is not really Hi-So and not really in Nana. It is located near the Phetchaburi end of Sukhumvit soi 3 (soi Nana Nua), a good 15 minute walk from Sukhumvit Road and Nana Plaza. And it is nice and cozy but not Hi-So at all. [...]

CitiChic Hotel, Sukhumvit soi 13, Bangkok

Friday, February 17th, 2012

I thought I had already reviewed this boutique hotel but I had not. CitiChic Hotel Bangkok opened a few years ago near the end of Sukhumvit soi 13 and at the time it looked like a nice and cozy boutique hotel. It is aging quickly, considering that it has only been around for a couple [...]

Bless Residence Hotel, Sukhumvit soi 33, Bangkok

Tuesday, February 14th, 2012

Bless Residence is a boutique hotel but also offers serviced apartments with long-term rates for long stays.

Guest Friendly Hotel Bangkok: Sofitel Bangkok Silom, Silom Road.

Saturday, December 17th, 2011

***Edit May 2012: Now Pullman Bangkok Hotel G *** Sofitel Bangkok Silom is a bit far from Sala Daeng BTS station (800 meters or so), else it would be a great hotel in a great location. Still, Sofitel Silom is great and the location not too bad. By taxi or motorcycle taxi you can reach all the [...]
