anyone staying at Baiyoke Boutique hotel before? I never been to Bangkok but will visit this coming September. Now looking for a clean and convenient hotel.
I have shortlisted 2 hotel actually. one is Take A Nap Hotel (www.takeanaphotel.com) which only cost ThaiBath 800 for double room (Double S size)...located at Silom.
And another one Baiyoke Boutique hotel...which located near shopping area....MBK, Platinum, etc...per nite stay is about RM140 for double bed room.

Anyone stay at these two hotels before? Can give some comments or review on it?
Actually i thought of staying at Take A Nap for my whole trip....but i don't know the exact place...so worry if it is not convenient...anyone stay there before? is there any train station nearby??

i found two convenient hotel near Pratunam area. one is Baiyoke Boutique hotel and another one is Reno Hotel. Anyone staying at these two hotels before? Any comments?

I've shortlisted this two hotels due to the location. Anyone can suggest me which one better?
Thanks

i think pratunam area is ok. there's no shortage of taxi and motocycle taxi, easy to go anywhere. the only problem is food, only one food court in that area and the food sucks. never notice any eating stalls around that area. get a bangkok map at the BTS station and you'll see pratunam its not that far of a walk to the nearest station - Chit Lom - the one in front of Inter Continental hotel. The other station is a bit far - Ploen Chit. you are only one station away from Siam where Siam square and MBK are located. There's a TESCO in the MBK area with a selection of restaurant and a food court. Pratunam is always lively, sunday morning especially, and its not that far from Khao San.

take a nap looks like a new budget hotel. maybe worth checking out and staying for a night and share it with us here.

Thank you very much for your info. It seems like the baiyoke boutique is not that strategic then.
Now i found another hotel, Reno Hotel. http://www.renohotel.co.th/data/overall.html
from the map location, it seems like quite strategic ..... just opposite MBK, i suppose??? i don't know as i never been there. and the price also quite reasonable and the hotel looks clean too. most importantly, seems like Reno Hotel is quite near to National Stadium or Siam BTS station???

thank you!!
yeah....half fat half not fat is better....full of fat....cannot eat la...hehehe

Asia Hotel is connected to MRT station. But the room price is about RM200.

i thought of going foot massage after walking for hours for shopping...so i will looking for foot massage!! hehe..

erm....Reno Hotel is quite a good choice i guess. Rate about Thai Bath 1180 (for standard room). Opposite of the hotel is National Stadium MRT station and also just opposite MBK.
