Well I have stayed at this hotel several times, and I have no problems, what so ever.
I would not recommend you to stay in the cheapest and old rooms, because you get so much more value if you upgrade a littlebit.
If you have a friend for the night, sleeping with you, you might have to pay a joiners fee.
But I have always had a double room, and my "friend" checked in and out when he was leaving.
The breakfast included in your room is okay.
There is a small pool on the top, where there is a nice view over Bangkok.
Just across the street you have Vincents Guesthouse and their really nice restaurant, (closed on sunday) and down the street the infamous Malay Coffeshop.
At the same side of the street as Pinnacle, up against Rama IV there is a small informal restaurant that i like very much. Now I don't remember the name.
Lumpini Park is close to the hotel and a nice place to relax and walk during daytime.
If you want to go to Silom Soi 2 or 4 it is very easy and cheap, take a taxi in the street, it will be about 30-40 Baht, or walk 5 minutes to the subway, and you will be in Silom in 2 minutes. An easy way to go to any interesting places in Bangkok. But what are your interests?
In fact the Sathorn area is my favorite place to stay in Bangkok.
What are you interested in? There are plenty of things in the Sathorn area and within easy traveling distance.Quote:

I like the Chinese restaurant across Soi Ngam Duplee from the hotel. A bit pricey for BKK but I have enjoyed every dish I ever had there. Great Dim Sum, BBQ Chicken is popular, Baked Imperial Crab and many great dishes both Thai and Chinese. A fun place to take several friends and share. Good Service. May need to take a sweater as they keep the dining room COLD.
I have also walked to Babylon from there. Quite a hike.
Thanks for the info.
Surfcrest, I am 5 days in bangkok, so I would like to explore the city, since its my first visit.
On my list: important temples, royal palace, floating market as daytime visits, but also would like to visit a sauna with thin Thai guys around, a hot gogo bar and have some massage experiences (foot, body...other?).
Taxi seems cheap, are there taximeters? Also at night?
Is Bangkok "dangerous" in the evening?
This is a very affordable option in this part of town, and as others have mentioned, close to silom via subway or taxi. I enjoyed dinner at Vincents across the street. The internet in lobby is way too expensive and the staff at times appears indifferent. Otherwise, a suitable option.
If your lucky enough to be there on the weekend walk to the underground station on Rama IV and take it to the largest outdoor market in the world Chatuchak market selling everything from placemats to lizards.
If you go to the market then go early in the morning. It's heaving in the afternoon.
From Pinnacle to Babylon is a "short stroll" by my standards (less than 10 minutes). I walked to Silom or back several times, about 40 minutes from Malaysia hotel to Soi 4.Quote:
