Guest Friendly Hotels in Bangkok: Nana Plaza, Soi Cowboy

Are you looking to book a Hotel in Bangkok and plan on bringing back an unregistered guest? There are thousands of hotels, hostels and guest houses in Bangkok. Many of these hotels will allow you to bring a guest back to your room, but many do not and have an extra charge.

For the hotels that do not allow guests – and understand when I refer to guests, bargirls, freelancers, ladyboys or Thai go-go dancers on this site, I am referring to unregistered people. When you book a hotel normally the site you book from, for example – Agoda, will ask how many people will be booking the room. Most of the time the Hotel will ask for ID from your registered guest that is with you, sometimes not. Having a guest with you that is registered via check-in is something entirely different that we won’t discuss on this site. 

We are only going to discuss unregistered guests and how you can avoid the costly fees, also known as joiner fees when you try to bring someone to your room. Keep in mind, some hotels may flatly deny your guest and not even allow an option to pay.

Don’t worry, we got your back. We’ll provide you a list of Hotels where you will have no problems bringing others to your room and with no additional charges – entirely girl friendly. 

To make things convenient, we will include these areas – Nana Plaza, Soi Cowboy and Patpong. Most of these are near the popular Sukhumvit Road.

Best of all, these hotels do not charge any additional fees and respect your privacy. These hotels even protect you where they will ask for ID from the guest you bring back, keeping it with reception. In some circumstances they may even call you prior to your guest leaving and asking for your ID back. This is for your protection because there have been cases where some bargirls with bad intentions may steal from you, leaving the hotel in haste.

Best Guest Friendly Hotels in Bangkok

These Hotels are all near Soi Cowboy and Nana Plaza. The majority of these hotels are 3 star, with a few 4 star. It will be hard to find a 5 star hotel that is guest friendly so these are off the list. These hotels are the best of the guest friendly hotels, with great reviews so you can't go wrong.

They start at just $21 USD per night and the price range can vary with different room options. They are in no particular order but please read my comments for each as some of you might want amenities like a pool, restaurant etc. so i've included that info here.

The Royal Ivory Sukhumvit Nana is located at the bottom of Soi 4. It's in a pretty quiet area so you shouldn't hear any noise in your hotel room. It's also just 400 meters from Nana Plaza and about 1 Kilometer from Soi Cowboy.

The rooms are quite spacious so if you don't like cramped quarters you will love this hotel. You have a choice of different rooms and you'll find a kitchenette in the deluxe room with a microwave, cutlery, fridge and cooking tops. So if you plan on staying long term and like to cook for yourself (you really don't need to in Thailand) then this hotel is a great option.

On the downside, it is an older hotel and some people have complained about the dated decor but updates have begun already to bring it up to more modern standards.

Boss Suites is just a 10 minute walk to Nana Plaza and near Nana Skytrain BTS. It's located just off Soi 4 away from all the noise in a quiet location. The rooms are big and very clean with comfortable beds. It's one of my favorite hotels around Nana Plaza.

It has a pool which is inside the lobby area which I found kinda weird because everyone can see you with your junk hanging out. So if a pool is important to you, this isn't your best choice. 

However, you get free wifi, optional or free breakfast, free cancellation before posted date and four room options to choose from. The staff is great, I had no issues bringing a girl back to my room (they didn't even notice) and overall I highly recommend it.

The Nana Hotel is located right across from Nana Plaza. A convenient location indeed! And, if you don't find a gogo dancer at Nana, there's plenty of freelance girls hanging around the Nana Hotel sign out front that you can bring back to your room with no issues.

Nana Hotel has a pool, parking, free wifi, a steamroom, luggage storage and 3 room types. The breakfast buffet is amazing and is included for all room choices. The hotel is about 50 years old but the rooms have been updated recently. The rooms are quite large so if you like space this hotel is a good option.

The rooms are comfortable, clean and surprisingly quiet. The downsides are that breakfast is not available and some rooms do not have a window.

If you book through Agoda, you can get free cancellation before the posted date. There are 3 rooms to choose from. The Deluxe which is the cheapest, then the Grand Deluxe Room and 1 bedroom executive suite.

Service from the hotel staff is decent but not great. The rooms are spacious, and the one I got was very clean but some people have stated that theirs wasn't as much. This hotel tends to cater to Indian tourists.

The Darjelling Hotel @18 is just a few minutes walk to Asok BTS and very close to Soi Cowboy. If you bring a GoGo dancer back with you from Soi Cowboy you could probably carry her the whole way. This is a pretty basic but clean hotel, it does not have a pool. 

At this time there doesn't seem to be any availalble rooms, so not sure what's up with that. The good news is you have better choices on this page anyway.

This hotel has great value for the money, quiet and clean rooms. The only downside is the wifi can be weak depending where you are located. If that's important to you make sure you ask to get a room that is close to a router for better signal.

There are 3 room types ranging from a junior suite to a presidential suite. Breakfast is included with some room options. Alone, breakfast is pricey at $22. The rooms are very well appointed with modern decorations and are very clean.

Staff is super friendly and very accomodating. I like the free coffee and free tea available in the rooms. Wifi is an issue with some rooms though, so talk to the receptionist and ask for a room with strong wifi if that is important to you.

The staff at the Manhattan are really friendly and always available for help. It's an older hotel but some rooms have been newly renovated which look great. If there's any negative it would be that the western breakfast isn't the greatest. Not too many faults with this hotel.

On 8 Sukhumvit Nana Bangkok is just a 7 minute walk to Nana Plaza. Soi Cowboy is in the opposite direction 1 kilometer away which will take you about 13 minutes. So, it's generally in between these 2 venues. The closest BTS is Nana which is 180 M away - that's just 2 minutes!

This hotel does not have a pool, but free wifi, luggage storate and laundry service is included. There are 6 room types available but many book pretty quick so do book early. Rooms are decent in size, with the smallest 23 sq m or 248 sq ft.

Late check in is possible with this hotel so if you're landing in BK late at night there won't be a problem. The rooms are very clean and staff is great. Many people love this place to much they book it for another stay - myself included!

There's no pool, but free wifi, laundry service and luggage storage are available. Free Coffee and tea is provided for each room but there is no breakfast at this hotel.

The rooms are clean and comfortable and also quiet. I think the only downside is when there are many people using the wifi it can be spotty. Also no restaurant means no breakfast so if that's important to you perhaps choose a different option on this page.

The Red Planet Bangkok Asoke is just a 7 minute walk to Soi Cowboy and a 7 minute walk to Asok BTS. If you prefer staggering distance to Soi Cowboy then choose this hotel because it's a 15 minute walk to Nana Plaza.

Free wifi, safety deposit boxes and luggage storage is available but there is no pool. There are 3 room types and rooms are on the smaller size at just 14 square meters or 151 sq feet. However, rooms are tastefully decorated and cozy enough for you and your bargirl or gogo dancer to frolic in. Breakfast is not available at this hotel but there's plenty of restaurants around to get it.

The staff is great and speaks very good English. I really liked the comfy beds and awesome shower - you will too. Best way to describe this hotel is clean, minimalist and rooms at a reasonable price. It's great if you don't care about frills too much.
