Yep have to go with the Admiral although the Novotel not too bad. Really did dislike one of the night staff at the Novotel, a right git. The rest of the staff were cool. This one fella said they didn't do a late check out, asked the lady at the next desk and she said no problem for a small charge.
Novotel great location but always go for the Jasmine Suites these days. Great for Soi Cowboy etc
