The location is ideal for both shopping on the street market and plenty of excellent eating establishments nearby. The sky train station is right outside your door, so easy to get around the city. all in all city lodge is a great place to stay in Bangkok.
No internet connection at the hotel. City Lodge hotel is one of the best for location in the NANA District and on Suhmkivit Road- with no exceptions. The staff is extremely friendly and pleasant from front desk to housekeeping. I stayed for 3 days and then departed and returned for another 3 days and it wwas if I had never left.
Shopping Tip : It is close to reasonable eating establishments and is right on the SkyTrain system. You get off the train at the Nana station and you are literally staring into the 3rd floor windows of the hotel. Walk down the stairs and you're virtually at the front door.

Great pos. Close to skytrain, friendly staff, clean rooms, good italian restaurant in house. In my room i did have a small problem with the aircon. They offered me to change the room. For me it is a great hotel to stay for a few days, easy to access sukhumvit road and the rest of bangkok, will stay there again.
Shopping Tip : Also great to go out at night, everything within walking distance.

no parking for taxi drop off The hotel is located very close to the BTS, right out the front door. This makes getting around bangkok quick and easy and cheap. The staff is very friendly and go out of their way to make you comfortable. The hotel is around the entertainment districts so you don't have to go far to eat or enjoy the night.

The location is tremendous, the staff attentive & courteous, the rooms large & pleasant, toiletries provided most-generous... and it was "CLEAN". Also, there is an elevator. Though I'd requested rooms on the 'quiet-side' of the hotel, only "ONE" of the three-rooms I'd purchased was on the 'NON-Sukhumvit" side. And although the curtains are quite thick, the traffic-sounds (street & BTS) were an annoyance that I'd preferred NOT to have. Our stay (3-persons / 3-rooms) at the City Lodge (Soi 9) was excellent, & we will be there again 10-13 May. I have stayed on Sukhumvit Soi sip et (11) for 30+ years, so this was a major change. The hotel was excellent in all respects, though the 'traffic-noises' can be a little loud on the 'Sukhumvit-side' of the hotel. Also, it's very-easy to 'miss/walk-by' the hotel-entrance, as the front is 'dark' & relatively non-descript. Also, the 'entrance-steps' are a bit short & steep. So... when walking along Sukhumvit... it may help to be "looking-up"... to notice the blue-&-white City Lodge sign.
Nightlife Tip : For nightlife-minded travellers (bars), both Soi Nana & Soi Cowboy (Soi 19) are nearby. And shopping in the merchandise-packed stalls along Sukhumvit is fun, though sometimes chaotic. For food, while everyone has something different in mind, you can safely-eat from most of the 'mobile-food vendors'. But ALWAYS... be sure to drink bottled-water... or beer/soft-drinks. And bring some Imodium AD... just in case. And plan on a shopping-trip to MBK (Ma Boon Krong) department store... which is where all the Thais shop.

great location, right next to sky train, central for all of the night life on sukhumvit The rooms were really clean and the staff are extremely accommodating and friendly. The location is ideal for both shopping on the street market and plenty of excellent eating establishments nearby. The sky train station is right outside your door, so easy to get around the city. all in all city lodge is a great place to stay in Bangkok.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : ideal for the skytrain

the hotel is right at the Nana SkyTrain stationwhich makes it very conventient. it's clean, it's air conditioned and is on a happening street. the hotel is raght at the Nana SkyTrain station which makes it noisy. the room smelled very smoky I've stayed at the City Lodge Soi 9 four times starting in 2004. Each time I've been met with an attentive staff and a room that's clean and a bed that's comfortable. It is close to reasonable eating establishments and is right on the SkyTrain system. You get off the train at the Nana station and you are literally staring into the 3rd floor windows of the hotel. Walk down the stairs and you're virtually at the front door.
Hotel Feature Tip : No internet connection at the hotel, but it can be had two blocks away at an afiliated hotel

Excellent location to all the amenities that lower sukhumvit has to offer, friendly helpful staff, clean well presented rooms, only minutes from the bts rail system. No wifi, no in-room safe. Great value for money plus close location to the fun areas of this part of bangkok. Street stalls just 5m from the front entrance on sukhumvit road. Room was the cheapest but was large enough to be perfectly comfortable. Shower was good with plenty of hot water, no internet was slight inconvenience.

Location and price were the best things. No non-smoking rooms.
No breakfast included. The staff were friendly and spoke reasonable English. The room was neat and clean. The room was surprisingly quiet despite overlooking Sukhumvit.
They appear not to have no smoking rooms which is a major drawback for me as I am mildly allergic to stale cigarette smoke.
It was good value for money but I would not stay there again because of their lack of non smoking rooms.

Steps away from the Nana station Skytrain. Convienient to nightlife and other amenities offered in the area. Staff was GREAT. Rooms that were provided were noisy on Suhkumvit Road. Eelevator a little slow. Price was higher than most for this size room. This hotel is one of the best for location in the NANA District and on Suhmkivit Road- with no exceptions. The staff is extremely friendly and pleasant from front desk to housekeeping. I stayed for 3 days and then departed and returned for another 3 days and it wwas if I had never left.
Nightlife Tip : All the bars and clubs are within5 minutes walking distance. Try club absolute on SOI 7 and Happy Hour 13 a pool parlour on SOI 13.

Staff, location, staff, location Noisy if room is on Suhmkivit Road Top points for the staff who make an effort to keep you safe. Rooms were clean although small (for a standard), they provide shampoo, etc., which was nice. Location cannot be beat. Highly reccomend to single traveler, not quite the family hotel. Part of Amari chain which I find is excellent throughout Thailand

On Sukhumvit. Cheap. Guest friendly. Room service. You can not have the curtains open because then all the people in the skytrain will see you :-S A so so hotel. Not so bad considering the cheap price to stay here. The personel was quite good and friendly. Room service food was ok. Guest friendly if you wish to bring guests beack to the room. It's on Sukhumvit Soi 9 so it's quite near a lot of activities. The room was also ok. Sat. tv and clean. However, it's not a good room if your staying a long time. For example you cannot have the curtains open since you have the skytrain station right infront of the hotel. People will have free sight right in to the whole room...
