Are the rooms at the Grand & Royal President better than acceptable? Stayed at the Majestic (deluxe double) last trip. Rooms there were close to the bottom of my acceptable standards. Not bad, just not crazy about them. Are Grand & Royal better? How much better? Centre Point is more, but looks REALLY nice. Admiral Suites are brand new on Suk Soi 22, a little off the beaten path, but also look very nice, and prices are very reasonable. I like a nice room & will pay more for it, although not through the nose. But if Grand & Royal are good rooms their girl friendliness may tip the balance for me. Centre Point, Admiral Suites should be O.K. for girls too though, what do you think? Just looking for updated, current opinions. Thanks to everyone.

Royal President is a step above the Grand Pres...If you stay there, take an extra copy of your bill (get it via e-mail b4 your trip) and have it ready at check-out. This helps avoid them trying to hit you with an extra charge at the last min. It has happened to 1 or 2 other posters. Never been to the other 2.

The rooms at the Grand President are DEFINITELY better than the Majestic, certainly bigger. The decor ranges from brand new, to a bit ragged, but they continuously renovate. Asking for a recently renovated room will help. Also, if you are a good customer, they will give you an upgraded room at a discount.
All of the studio rooms have a lot of mirrors, which contributes to the spacious feeling, as well as a CD player, cable TV, microwave, full-size refrigerator, kitchenette, and dishes/utensils, which the maid will wash for you. (Please tip her well each week.)
Dec./Jan. 2001 they were renovating most of the 5th floor of Tower III, and the stench of the solvent they used was UNBEARABLE. A quick request for the Resident Manager to stop by (with his nose), resulted in a free upgrade to a suite on a higher floor at the same rate (~1000 baht).
Although those prices seem to be gone, I think it still is good value for the B1350 or so you will have to pay for a Topaz studio now (short term; longer stays are VERY negotiable).
Especially at the President Properties, where they are aware of longer-term (slightly) up-scale guests (compared to the Nana/Majestic/Die-nasty), your attitude and a few small courtesies will get you a lot of consideration. This is especially true for stays of a month or more...
There have been recent grumblings about the 10% service charge, and misunderstandings about pre-quoted prices and terms. As another poster said, get it all down in an email, even if it takes several (polite) iterations to get it sorted out. Things to negotiate are: type of room and rate, pay with credit card (surcharge of 5% can be eliminated), 10% service charge (new, never paid it). Be sure to ask for the TSM discount, which should be 20% off (some "rack" rate), and should eliminate the 5% credit card charge.
I have emailed the RM there to ask about the story behind all these unseemly shenanigans (I never faced ANY of this), but I have not heard back, so I presume he got moved to another property, or kicked upstairs...he was a GREAT guy...
Hope this helps.

Thank you brother haam sup. This is great info. I've got a Diamond Suite for 3500(3850 w/the 10%). I think that's a decent deal. If you will be around June5-8, I'd love to buy you a drink or 2 to say "thanks" in person. Sounds like you can bring about as many girlfriends to the GP as you like, within reason I guess.

My pleasure.
As for bringing girls back: no limit. Just behave yourself in the lobby and halls, as you would out of consideration for other guests.
Last time I stayed there, some HUGE black guy from America went on a bender, and tore up his room, tried to pick fights and stare down other folks in the hallway. Just made a big pain in the ass of himself. That evening, the night manager stopped by my room to say hi, carrying a billy club, along with about half a dozen assistants, similarly armed. They had just put him out, and tuned him up a bit in the process. I had them in for a beer.
I like that.
Thanks for the invite - I'm stuck in farangland at the moment, but certainly next time.
have fun!

Stayed at Admiral Suites in March for a week. Brand new place inside and outside, impressed the girls a lot. Definitely girl-friendly, it's so new maybe they didn't have a policy yet?! Good deal, too.
