Pattaya Hotels

[IndStallion31]

Thank you Nef bro. I'm sending you a PM kindly check it.

Meanwhile I have booked LK Metropole since reviews were good. Looking forward for my stay.

But I saw a video in youtube reg a cleaner stealing money from a guest. He has video-graphed it also.

Is stealing by hotel staff and cleaners are common in Pattaya and Bangkok? Should one be extra safe with belongings?

What about pick pocketing in streets?

I know the drill for keeping things safe as I have traveled to Europe and other places. But is it a thing to bother in Thailand as such? That's my question.

Thank you. Sorry if the question is annoying.

Thank you nef, that's a great review. Sure I will think of intimate hotel also. I was finalizing between LK renaissance or LK Metropole since it was very near to LK metro area.

I will try to reconcile my plan now and will surely give it a chance as per my preferences.

Just a random doubt. Which area is better to stay if your main aim is mongerin

I haven't stayed at LK Metropole, but yes you're right it is right there at LK Metro. There are several a go-gos there and Devils Den is there as well. It is a fine location in my opinion. I would suggest that you hit Walking Street of course, but really there are many options all over Pattaya. My advice is to explore a different area each night. There are some interesting places near LK Metro, but there are also some good places on and near Walking Street and several fun beer bars a little north of the Central Festival mall in the area of the Eastiny hotels. Actually, my first trip to Pattaya, I didn't even get to Walking Street. All I did was hang out near those beer bars around Eastiny. I was only there a few days and just didn't have time to explore, but I still had a blast. PM me if you want any details or suggestions.

When preparing my trip, I asked for your advises about which would be the right hotel to stay in my four nights in Pattaya.

Finally I decided for The Intimate Hotel. Good choice!. Sure not the cheapest hotel but it deserves its price: rooms, service, situation. Everything excellent!

And, of course, no problem to bring girls to your room. It seems that if you bring two girls they charge 1.000 baths for the second one, but it was not my case.

Hey thanks for the mention of this hotel. It has been my go to place for many years starting back when it was just Tim's Boutique Hotel. Wow, 1,000 baht for a second joiner. I sure hope they don't hit me with that one this summer. That is more than I want to pay for a joiner. I didn't even like paying 300 baht for joiner fees. Anyway, did you eat in the restaurant? If so, how was it? Would you want to eat there every morning or just one or two times during your stay? It's been two years since I have been there and I just wonder how the place is holding up. Thanks!

Hello friends,



Kindly suggest. My budget is 2000 -2500 baht for a day. My preference is that it should be girl friendly, free WiFi, free breakfast and a fitness center.

Thank you.

I have not stayed at the ones you have listed, but I have stayed at Intimate Hotel by Tim Boutique Hotel. I've stayed there 4 times and have had a good experience each time. First, I like its location. It is located just off second road and within easy walking distance of Soi Diana Inn (beer bars) and Soi LK Metro (a go-go and Devil's Den) and CentralFestival Pattaya Beach (a upscale shopping mall with many restaurants and a nice movie theater). It's very easy to catch a baht bus from this location as well so you can go to Walking Street. The hotel itself is still in good shape. There is a restaurant for breakfast (I think the fee for breakfast was 350 baht per person if you didn't order it inclusive with the room). There is a good electronic safe in the closet. The beds are comfortable. The bathroom is very nice. I usually get a deluxe room and there is a large tub big enough for 3 (although I always wondered if I could get in one more). The water pressure has always been very good and hot water was never a problem. I have always had good experiences with the staff. They were always courteous and respectful of my privacy and kind to my friends. They are girl friendly, but keep in mind that only one girl per night is free. There was a joiner fee for your second girl. I'm sorry, but I don't remember that as usually stick to one at time. They will check your girls' ID cards and make sure you are with them when they go. The guys that open the door are cool and funny. They have free wifi and the speed is acceptable. The pool is nice (has a swim up bar and a nice area around for relaxing). There is a gym, but I think it is fairly small. There is also a fairly good and inexpensive restaurant outside the hotel very nearby (very close on second street). The towels were soft and thick enough for me as were the pillows. AC worked perfectly. The negative items were small. For example, the TV had some fuzzy reception on most channels, but I was okay with that as I am not a big fan of TV. I've stayed in various locations around the building and there is louder side. When you check in, you can request a room on the quiet side if you wish. At home I can't stand noise, but in Pattaya, it really doesn't bother me that much. I am usually exhausted when I close my eyes and I can sleep even with the noise of the beer bar nearby.

If you do decide on this hotel, please let me know how it went. I haven't been to Pattaya in nearly 2 years but will be heading back in July. It would be nice to know if my favorite hotel is still as good as I remember it to be.

I know everyone has their favorite places, but this one is mine. I almost forgot the price. I think I've paid between 1,500 an 1,700 baht each time I've been and the listing on Agoda has it for $50 now for the deluxe room. Please post a review of whatever hotel you end up. I am actually looking for reviews now just to see if I should try at least a few days at a new place. Never hurts to try out somewhere new. If you are planning to be in Bangkok, I would suggest Majestic Suite Hotel. The room I had there was small, but was in a good location, clean, and comfortable. Good luck and enjoy your visit to Pattaya. I look forward to your reports.

LK Renaissance has no odor of smoke. Probably because they have little balconies that are quite convenient. The only ashtry is on the balcony.

Whitehouse Condotel is non-smoking.

From my research, the only two hotels in the medium price range that have non-smoking rooms are the Arica and Dynasty. Both seem to be in good area, but wondering if anyone knows of other restricted-smoking hotels. And did I read there was a non-smoking gogo bar or something in Pattaya? If so, that would certainly be my preferred place to visit.

Page 10 hotel: located on soy 10, close to central mall. Soy 10 is a narrow street with no sidewalk, so one has to be careful walking up or down. It rained yesterday, and a pool formed at the street entrance from 2nd road, very annoying.

Cons: not too clean, no end tables by the bed, not enough closet space, strange shower layout, the water overflows from the shower into the hall. When I went into my bed, I realized that the sheet were not changed. Upon further inspection, I found some stains. I called them, and they quickly changed the bed sheets.

You convinced me not to try this one. Thanks.

Last minute change in plans so I wound up here for 16 days, leaving next Saturday. Overall an okay stay, paying $1,036.37 for 16 nights or $64.67 per night all-inclusive on Agoda. One word of caution: my room had a jacuzzi tub & hand-held wand in the tub for a shower. Something like $6 extra a night for a real shower. The difference between a deluxe & a superior room. Or vice versa. So if a shower is important figure it out first. Quite frankly, I find the jacuzzi-shower a pain in the ass. Don't forget to ask for another key when you check in to keep the A / see turned on so you don't return to a hot room. They'll ***** but give it to you. I had to say I would find another hotel & then they relented.

Breakfast is very good with cooked to order omelets & other things along with a very basic buffet.

Room is okay. Curtains are worn with lots of light-holes shining through in the morning but not really a problem. Electronic safe, decent work space, decent but not great wi-fi internet. Cable has more channels than the Marriott, though I still find very little I like. Shower water is almost hot but not quite. Bed is hard. I woke up sore the every morning the first week; I guess I'm getting used to it now. My room is on the 2nd Rd side just off Soy 13 or whatever the main road is. You can hear the outside bands & noise until about 3 in the morning but it was so muted it really wasn't a problem. May be different if you're right on the main road. Dunno. One good thing is there is a small balcony so when I got my ass soaked during the water festival (NEVER visit during that time) I was able to smoke my cigar in peace & dry my clothes out. You'll need a pillow or two under her ass if you like your feet on the floor but no big deal.

Taxi to the airport through the hotel is 2000 B. Walk up to the front of the Marriott & get your taxi there for 1500 B. They'll pick you up at your door. They'll ask for a 200 Baht deposit.

Location is pretty good. All the LK Metro stuff is a few steps away. 12 min to the Starbucks on Beach Rd. My personal benchmark. Just a few minutes to the baht bus for a ride to Soy 6/7/8.

I'll likely try something else next time but wouldn't hesitate to return here if the price isn't any higher.

Coming for the 1st time in Pattaya next week. I have been told that it's best to get accommodation on the Walking Street, rather the the Beach Road. Any advice on guest friendly and good price to value ration for accommodation in there? Looking to pay up to 40/ night tops.

Hey there friends!

Coming for the 1st time in Pattaya next week. I have been told that it's best to get accommodation on the Walking Street, rather the the Beach Road. Any advice on guest friendly and good price to value ration for accommodation in there? Looking to pay up to 40/ night tops. Most of what I have found was above that price, even double. I would also very much fancy having a safe box in the room.

Thanks!

If you like being in a noisy, busy, tourist-infested area, then Walking Street and even Beach Road are excellent locations. Otherwise, search for lodgings in the Sois (streets) connecting Beach Road and Second Road. You are much more likely to find a beter deal. And remember, all the action in Pattaya is only a walk or short songthaew taxi ride (costing you all of 10 baht) away. www.booking.com has scores of hotels that will fit your price level.

Pros: fairly new, nice breakfast, very close to central mall, decently priced, close to LK metro, AC does not blow on your face, very convenient for FL hunting.

Cons: not too clean, no end tables by the bed, not enough closet space, strange shower layout, the water overflows from the shower into the hall.
