I stayed there one night recently because my first choice had been fully booked. THe MG is a fine hotel and reasonably priced for the high standard it holds. I got a room for about 3,200 baht, which is slightly less than US$100. Some photos of the room:
And here's the Website:
Majestic Grande
I have no complaints about the room, but there are several factors to be aware of before choosing the MG. Guests from one particular area of the world are dominant at the MG. If you're not comfortable with being one of a very small number of farang guests, then it is best to avoid the MG.
In terms of value for money, the MG is the cheapest among the big full service hotels in the lower Suk area. You won't get a room at the JW Marriott, Landmark, Sheraton or Westin for less than US$100. However, better is available for the same price if you extend your range a bit. The Davis on Soi 24 is a better overall hotel and has nicer rooms for the same or even lower price.
Definitely avoid the taxis outside the MG. They are are major scammers. Walk down soi 2 a bit and hail a cab from the street.
