Gibsons1 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 (edited) This more upscale hotel is coming up at a reasonable price for me, although non-refundable, it has free breakfast and a LARGE room for Bangkok standards for a decent price. It's a couple dollars more than S Sukhumvit Suites which has a better location, but small rooms and no free breakfast. Just wondering if anyone has stayed at the FuramaXclusive Asoke which looks to be about 500M from Soi Cowboy, has done the walk and has seen the neighbourhood, etc. Anything interesting on that walk, like massage places or other similar activities? Guest Friendly??? Thanks. Edited March 21, 2018 by Gibsons1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibsons1 Posted March 21, 2018 Author Share Posted March 21, 2018 I guess I did some searches and got the answers I needed. The price dropped a couple bucks more and I booked. Tons of good reviews of it being guest friendly, blocks from the MRT (easy from the airport rail) and a couple minute walk from Soi Cowboy, included buffet breakfast (which I've read is good), etc. Lots of positive vibes. Was going to book S Sukhumvit Suites but the tiny rooms killed it for me. Their 'suite' is about the same size as FuramX's regular room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griffithvoice Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Yeah i've stayed there. It was adequate for the price. The major thing is that the breakfast is only average and fairly tasteless and the rooftop pool sucks. The "pool" is actually two small plastic wading pools sunk into a wooden deck on the roof. So if the pool is a big deal I would cancel the booking. Otherwise the stay was comfortable and rooms okay but overall nothing really special. I would give it a solid 7/10 Hope that helps.

samaka Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 I have stayed there before multiple times. Never used the pool or taken the breakfast option. Perfectly adequate for a place to return at the end of the day though. It is GF and a short walk to Soi Cowboy and the BTS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care about the pool, I try to avoid the sun as I'm pale. Guest friendly, clean, nice size room, value for money, proximity to Cowboy, is what I like. The free breakfast will save me money if it's decent. Cheap food in Ter 21 blocks away, BTS and MRT close by... good location.

Crash69 Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 I just completed a 4 night stay. Pros: -yes, guest friendly -room in fine condition -nice comfortable bed -excellent WiFi -good size deluxe room -nice staff -included breakfast (but I never tried it) -close to BTS / MRT -separate shower and bathtub Cons -I didn’t care for the location as I felt a bit removed from the center of action -front desk never once called my room when girls left hotel I didn’t check out the pool. In the future, i would consider other hotels before choosing to stay here. Crash Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, on a map it doesn't look more than 500 meters from Soi Cowboy or Ter 21. That's probably less than a 5 minute walk. Guest Friendly doesn't mean they track the girls movement, as the last hotel didn't do it either. Did they accept their ID or write down their name and info when they came in?

Yes, they accepted the ID, but I’ve been used to other hotels calling me upon check out. I guess not all hotels are the same. It all worked out tho, no bad girls. Re location...I just felt not close enough to the action. No beer bars really close by. Cowboy is across the street, but not easy to jaywalk Asok. Had to walk down to corner and wait for the long light. I think there are other options to consider. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich.m Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 I've stayed at Furama, if I walked in with the girls nobody asked at all but if the girl came up alone they would call to check and a second call when the girl leaves. I really enjoyed my stay here (also because they upgraded me to a suite) but that being said the location feels a bit outside of the main fun areas.

You can't go up the elevator without a keycard so they just called the guest and brought them up, I'm sure. Breakfast is okay, nothing that special. Best dishes are the couple stir fry they have. Haven't found a good American breakfast yet in Thailand, doubt I ever will. It is removed a little farther from the action than I'd like, almost nothing for 500M to Terminal 21 except for 6 lane highway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
