I was in Majestic Suites and I can only recommend this place. Rooms are spacious and hotel is extremely ladyboy friendly. But the best thing is LOCATION. I don’t know about Majestic Grande but all I can say is Suites has at leas acceptable standard and much better location, at least for me. Soi 2 is a little of hand if you don’t monger in Guess Bar 24/7.

I always stay in Majestic Grande when in BKK. I usually book through Asiarooms and get a superior room. I feel the extra expense is worth it, and the breakfast buffet is so good I actually get my butt out of bed and go! Not something I would usually even contemplate elsewhere!
As far as being 'ladyboy friendly', I would say they are 'ladyboy tolerant.' The lobby from front door to elevators is a long 50 metre walk of shame. On my last trip the black shirted security guard shouted 'Katoey' as I entered the front door with Joy at 7pm.
The attitude of the staff at the security/concierge desk definitely changes once you return with a LB in tow. LB visitors will be asked to leave ID. at the desk and arrive at your room with no problems. If you have £50 a night in your budget I feel it is worth it for an upmarket alternative near to the action. The one thing that bugs me is internet access is expensive as you need to buy by the hour or day through the business centre.

Couldn't agree more. I absolutely hate having to pay extra for internet access.

I am now sitting in my room at Majestic Suites, writing this reply on their free wireless connection. I always stay here, as I believe it is the best value for the money in this neighborhood. As far as bringing your lb friend in, you can have her arrive and give your room number. The reception will call you to assure that you are expecting a guest. You do not have to go meet the guest. The will take the ID to hold until your guest leaves. Another thing I like here is that you can have as many guests as you like come to your room, without even an eyebrow being raised. I have had as many as 3 or 4 at once, no extra charge like some other places here. The rooms here are about 1/2 the rate as Majestic Grande. Double Superior is 1,650 baht/night, may increase slightly in peak season.

Enjoy your stay in Bangkok!

what about the food in majestic suites? is it good or bad? and the bathroom? room size? TV? is there any good restaurants near it?

Majestic suites has one small but cozy dining place, breakfast is served. You have BHT limit and you order from menu but... although not as plentiful as in Woraburi or other buffet type facilities breakfast was more than average and totally enough for me.

Judging hotels in Bangkok on breakfast is... like bringing wood into forest. There are so many cheap or hi-so alternatives I always try to get hotel without breakfast why... because I can go and eat in different place every day, it cost me practically nothing but on the other hand one breakfast in hotel, another with tilak in Thai restaurant third on stalls... and gradually you turn yourself into fatty-epic proportions if you know what I mean.

I stayed in that hotel at least 20 times. Location is top notch. I've been in all types of the hotel rooms, but they are a bit crampy. I know you just need the bed but still ...
The lightning in the room at night is not strong.

There is always that smell in the bathroom. The walls need a fresh paint too.

Don't worry about the walk of shame, at the reception they don't give a hoot. It's hardly 20 m to the elevator.
