Hey Denver,
I assume you are talking about the hotel, not the Bedroom Club.
If so, I think you'll be happily surprised about the hotel. It's a serviced apartment actually. Or it sure seems to be more apartment-like than a standard hotel room. But MAN! Is it PLUSH! It's an oasis in the cacaphony of Sukhumvit. At around 40 quid a night, and so close to the nightlife, you cannot go wrong. The studios are nice, but when I said I'd be back to BKK after heading to Phuket but was looking for a deal--they suggested upgrading me to a suite at the same price. WOW! Am I glad I did that. Just a killer deal. If I were on leave from dusty Iraq, this place will suit you so well.
If you met a high end cutie at QBar just around the corner, she would be mightily impressed! If you were wondering, this place is also OK for girls (no trouble for butterflies like you D-man!), but my TG got a bit of a rude stare 'cause they thought she was a BG. Ah Well! LOL. I won out 'cause she really loved the place and I felt I could entertain her properly in a place where we could cook, watch movies on the huge plasma and sit in the living area with great views of BKK. The bed itself is huge, comfy and plush with tons of pillows. Lots of small touches kitted throughout: dishes, hot water boiler, full sized fridge, 2 burner stove, cloth napkins + more.
There's also the Ananda Spa attached to the Hotel, which is one of those high end spa places with the works. I found two other massage places nearby which were the standard cheaper places...but hey, if you wanna go whole hog with the spa experience (I almost relented), it's there for you.
Two things that might get your goat:
The elevator has a mind of its own sometimes.
It's a full 10 minute walk to Sukhumvit/Nana/Eden/Beer Garden - if that's on your agenda.
The porter will cruise you up there in the hotel's electric cart though. Just give him a small tip. The SkyTrain station is right there if you need to go elsewhere.
Here are the vital stats.

You have to be careful because there are some other not as nice places with the name "President" in the title on Soi 11 (Grand President). You definitely want the one at the end of Soi 11 with the precise name, "President Solitaire". I actually made the mistake of going to the wrong place. :mad2:
I also have some photos of my suite on the site's photo forum. Check it out!
