ggobkk Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 I'll be visiting Bangkok from May 5th for 6 days. In the past I've stayed at Tarntawan and been content. A friend recommended that I think about Swisslodge. I looked at the website and it's a good one. The pricing for a week's stay is less than Tarntawan. Any comments, is there a fee for "guests"? - that could even out the pricing question immediately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DivineMadman Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 There's a website aimed at straights - Friendlyhotelsguide.com or something like that -- that tries to answer which hotels have fees. File Swiss lodge the answer is as follows: (I cannot vouch for accuracy): Guest Friendly policy reply by the Swiss Lodge Hotel in Bangkok: “Warmest greeting from The Swiss Lodge! Thank you for interesting in our Hotel, May I inform you that, we do not charge for your guest, if they are not stay with you overnight, we only need to keep the ID card or passport at the Front Desk butIf your guest stay with you for overnight, we have to charge for THB 1,000. If you have any furthur question please feel free to contact us any time. Best regards, Ms. Jiraporn Buachan.” As always, best to just ask hotel directly. I stay near the Swiss lodge and the location is good. Some years ago it was popular on gay message boards. ChristianPFC and ggobkk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinapu Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 consider Raya, new hotel of similar standard like two mentioned above, no problem with overnight or in fact any guests. Access with the card so you may bypass reception area altogether unless you are on 5th floor where reception is. And it's right beside soi Twilight , across the street from Jupiter ggobkk and ChristianPFC 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggobkk Posted March 4, 2016 Author Share Posted March 4, 2016 Thanks Divine Madman i it was an old bulletin board that I first saw it mentioned, I've walked by it, and a new friend who's a BKK guide suggested it as a change. I suspect I'll stay at Tarntawan as I have it policy of no extra charge down already DivineMadman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggobkk Posted March 4, 2016 Author Share Posted March 4, 2016 Vianpu - thanks, I checked that out online, location good, but wasn't impressed with the pictures of the rooms. I may do what you do - try different hotels. vinapu 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
