The pros and cons of staying at the Nana hotel have been discussed to death on every mongers forum. I have stayed there and I quite liked it but many say it is a shit hole. Each to their own. I'll tell you the pros and cons:
Pros
Huge rooms
Cheap for the location
Right on the doorstep of NEP (ridiculously close) and not far from Soi Cowboy
No joiner fee (so yes you can take two girls back if you wish)
Only have to walk to the car park for a FL
Cons
For the same price you can get a better hotel elsewhere
Archaic facilities in the rooms
It needs to be refurbished

I booked it last year under the auspice that it is an institution and every monger should it experience it once. I didn't even spend one night. It really is taking a step back to 1979 hotel standards. As Siam Sam said, there is better for the money.

sorry members been having problums posting my thoughts

spent a few nights there ealy this year
had a room at the back but it was near where they have 4 x acon fans outside and with the noise

so went down to reception and asked for a room move i told there was none available
so told them i would move all my stuff down to the lobby and sleep on the soffa
they soon found me another room
as ive said befor ill never go there again
but you must try it for yourself all part of the game of going to bangkok

Not nice but you gotta try it just once. A BKK monger's prerequisite.

its just a little too close to the action for me, but it always seems to be full so must suit alot of guys who want to be right on top of the action. I think the Dynasty hotel (50 meters up soi 4) has some good deals and have been told rooms there are a little bit better.

Yes, they are totally guest friendly, but the rooms suck and you get much more from your money, and closeness to NEP, from the Majestic or Dynasty Inn, plus the room safe.

I was pleasantly surprised during my last stay at the Nana, they gave me a refurbished room. No cigarette burns
in the rug, no scratches in the woodwork. Still the same crappy furniture, but it was new. Here's a shot of the room

It's not easy to find better for the same money in the area. OK it's a bit shabby and tired because of the sheer numbers of people staying there over the years.
Whenever I go there I see rooms being renovated but it must be like painting the Forth bridge.
It must have one of the highest occupancy rates of any Bangkok hotel; pretty well full most nights even during the tourism downturn.

I've not stayed there myself, but I think it's a very bad sign when a hotel even looks old and shabby on it's own web site.
I really does look like it's strait out of an old 80's tv show
