Pattaya Hotels

Could be interesting to know which condo is, so we can avoid it! Thanks.

City Garden Pattaya. Tower be. Levels 7 and 8. I do not remember the unit numbers. But the rooms on both floors were just not up to my acceptance standards.

You got that right. I have been using AirBnB successfully for years together now and I have had only a couple of poor experiences. Pattaya was one of them, where the apartment was simply not maintained well. That said, Uncle Volodya had an apartment in the same condo and his unit was terrific.

I think Blanquiceleste posted a report about his experience with Airbnb here on the forum. If memory does not deceive me, he had a problem with the owner for poor maintenance and cleaning of the apartment not with Airbnb website. I used airbnb in Thailand and Japan, never had a problem. You have to find a reliable owner.

Come to think of it I did not have much of a bone with the owner either, as she refunded me almost the entire charge after I had checked in, looked at the place and called her to say I cannot stay here.

Pattaya hotel with a balcony for smoking and close to action and price max usd 100, what would that be?

LK Renaissance, Areca lodge, and others.

The family Mart is in soi12.

And it's in the same building as the LK so you just enter from the street (not Beach Rd), buy a soda, exit the back with your girl (s), turn right & you'll see the elevator. P. O. C. (piece of cake.).

Where is this family mart? On a side soi or in Mikes mall? Can't find it on Google maps.

If you ever decide to bring two girls back, just go thru the Family Mart, turn right & go up the back elevator. No one will see you.

An update on the concerns I voiced 2 weeks ago when I checked in. I've just checked out and no joiner fees have been charged. Note that I only had 1 girl at a time in my room. This hotel is well-situated about half way between walking street and Central Festival mall. It's opposite the stretch of Beach Road with the best Beach Road action.

Staying at at mind residence this trip. Great value for closeness to action and with good rooms and amenities. GF friendly and staff very helpful. Would recommend it and book direct with hotel as cheaper. There are a few at mind places and this one is in Soi 4 just back from 2nd Road.

Happy Hunting.

What problems did you face with Airbnb? I was planning to book a condo in Pattaya for a mongering trip this time.

Airbnb can be fantastic, OK, or terrible. I have had all 3 experiences.

Remember that many airbnb are simply individuals who are trying to make extra cash. If you like what you get and the price you paid, life is great. But if there is a problem, chances are it will not be taken care of in a timely manner.

There were 2 guys that I met in Pattaya who checked into Airbnb places where the A/C. Broke. They were stuck without A/C for days. Thailand is a hot country and it's hard to sleep without A/C.

Having said that, I met many others who were satisfied with their Airbnb places.

My advice is that if you are a bit picky, better to go to a well reviewed hotel. If you don't like your hotel room, or if something breaks, they will move you (unless they are sold out).

I thought it was the website company to provide a reliable owner, not the customer to find one.

I don't think the website company checks and visits every apartment. What makes a reliable owner are the reviews from the customers, so if you want to book an apartment from Airbnb you need to read through all the reviews.

Hi all,
I'm visiting Pattaya for the first time in November and staying at the Seronotel on Soi10, does anyone know much about the place? Is it girl friendly and is it a nice hotel? What's the area around it like.
Thanks in advance for any replies.

Never stayed there myself but the beach end of Soi 10 is a good choice. Very central location and quiet because there are no bars in the vicinity. You will have some traffic noise from Beach Road though.

The hotel is brand new, like most hotels in Soi 10. Should be girl friendly, it would surprise me if it's not. Gets reasonably good reviews on Tripadvisor.
