Mentors Posted December 21, 2001 Report Share Posted December 21, 2001 The Royal Benja is very unfriendly for guests and me too. I booked a two person room by a travel agent in Bangkok. Yesterday i checked in and after midnight i want to take a 'guest' to my room. But the reception told me to pay 500 B for it. I had a bigger interview and i told that i booking for two pax. And the stuff meant but i check in alone. I told yes, but i booked for two and why two people has to check-in together on same second. After the stuff starting very unfriendly so i asked him for a bill for the 500 Baht covercharch. Then he dont give me one. With a smile i told the stuff that this is a really dirty game and i would check out for today. Its interesting with some hotels need an extra tip, but without me.

NokTang Posted December 22, 2001 Report Share Posted December 22, 2001 Would you believe people actually give me a hard time for refuseing to stay in hotels which pull this shit? NO ID CHECKS, NO JOINER FEEs. period. Bill me of any damage to your property I or my guest cause. End of story. happy holidays Nok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simie Posted December 22, 2001 Report Share Posted December 22, 2001 Nok, I agree with you 100% on the joiner fee nonsense. Its just a big piss take and if it happens to me it will be the one and only time at the hotel in question. But personally the id check does'nt bother me at all. Cheers Simie.

NokTang Posted December 22, 2001 Report Share Posted December 22, 2001 The ID check is intertwined with Joiner Fee, boils down to in your business or not. No need for me to go all over it again! as always ends up in at least one death threat as you are fully aware happenend on Misty's board! have a good holiday Nok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mentors Posted December 22, 2001 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2001 Yes the ID Check i mean is ok if you take a 'guest' at midnight but the guest-fee is absolutely incorrect. Interesting on November i checked in in The Park hotel, i taked a guest - no ID Check no guest/fee. BUT three days ago i check in again in same hotel and the stuff told me if i would take a guest i have to pay 500 B. I just wondering and move to the Royal Benja where i had the same bullshit (see above). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This goes to it all, who are they to call you or I sluts and whoremongers? Even if they are correct(as they are in my case) I'll not have them calling me that when I am paying good baht for a room. Leave me the fuck alone or be my friend but don't label me and try and scam me and/or hassle my "guest". happy holidays Nok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harlequinbkk Posted December 23, 2001 Report Share Posted December 23, 2001 Even if I was not planning to bring in 'guests' to my room, I would still, on principle, boycott a hotel that charged a guest fee for a double room. To me, 'double' means 2 people. I have paid for accomodations for 2 people and I believe I have the right to bring a second person along. Clearly, the hotels refusal to give you a receipt for the 500 Baht guest fee indicates that they are pulling another scam. Simply take your business to a hotel that deals with you more honestly. Thanks to the Internet, it is fairly easy to find guest-friendly hotels in BKK.

NokTang Posted December 23, 2001 Report Share Posted December 23, 2001 I've been in the hotel business. You do have additional cost with two guest. Extra Electricity Extra Water(toliet etc.)(and sewar!!) Extra person to "deal" with it all adds up you would be surprised. as example, I think UPS and FedEx figure something like $3. per phone call(not comparing to Thailand, just as example), airlines figure an average per call cost, cheers, Nok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mentors Posted December 27, 2001 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2001 The extra 500 Baht is Tea-Money/Tip for the stuff and NOTHING more than that. In Royal Benja i asked for a bill for this but they didnt want give me one. The same game also in The Park Hotel. And please a a look on your bill for after you checking out. Many times i just wondering. First the stuff or Net told me for example the room costs 800 Baht incl. breakfast. But after my checkout the hotelbill showing me 500 Baht for the room and 300 Baht for breakfast....
