Pattaya Hotels

[Tvataham274]

Thanks Bionic. I'm looking around Walking with the hopes that it will reopen in the next couple of months. From what I can gather, it is indeed a ghost town currently, but maybe that won't be the case in November / December / January.

Do hotels generally have laundry facilities in them?

Does anyone have any opinion on this hotel? Looking for somewhere close that also has a restaurant (any kind) inside it.

Or if anyone has other suggestions for a place in the area, let me know. Been going through a bunch in the area that have their rates posted online and a decent contact form if I have questions and these two look OK to me.

Anyone know if it is normal for hotels to have facilities for guests to do their laundry? Call me wet behind the ears but I've never traveled to a hotel before. Been to an all inclusive, but not an actual hotel.

I don't know what attracts you to that area as it is off the beaten path, especially now that Walking Street is a ghost town. I'the rather stay nearby LK Metro (plenty of hotels in a range of 2/400 meters from it. Take as a reference Areca Lodge and browse from there, soi Honey, soi Lengkee and more. From 3 to 4 stars. That area is in between 2nd Road and soi Buakhow, both served by the Baht Bus (10 baht a ride, any distance, hop in and off anywhere on the route) aka as Songkhow, a pick up van with seating facilities.

Forget those warning you about LB in that area, there's nowhere in Pattaya where they aren't, so one place or the other won't make any difference.

Don't be bothered by in-house restaurant of the hotel, as long as it has a buffet breakfast it's all what you need (and even then, the breakfast offers in any area of Pattaya is huge) in-house restaurants have a bit of inflated prices, still cheaper than home, but won't represent the Pattaya experience. Food is available everywhere on 24 hrs basis, local and international or a mix of both.

Similarly, why be concerned about laundry when the in-house service does a morning to late afternoon quick service at a great price, ironed and bagged?

Save your time to relax and enjoy Pattaya.

Finally let go of my last $16 bucks of Agoda cash. Monkeypaw had about $150 of Agoda cash that was going to expire this month. The condo that I have been at in Pattaya is not listed on Agoda. So instead of letting all the free cash expire (May 4), I broke it up into little blocks and booked 14 different rooms (not hotels or guesthouses) owned by locals, all over Pattaya and Bangkok. Of course I never checked in. Just a simple message "Keep the money as a gift. No check in. " My remaining balance to expire now is $2, without me having to spend any of my own money. Pretty hard to get it to 0. Anyways, just in case anybody feels generous to make it Christmas time in Spring.

Is anyone able to recommend Party Hotels like the Hotel Indigo or The W?

I'm only familiar with Western Hotels and I stayed at Hilton Pattaya last year. While I enjoyed the hotel it was too quiet and way too formal.

There are well over 1000 hotels and guest houses in Pattaya's "tourist" area. You can stay for as little as 250 baht per night, with AC. No idea what budget is for you. 250 baht? 2500 baht? 25,000 baht? Want a popular 5 star hotel many guys from ISG stay? Baraquda on 2nd Road is only 1500 baht per night now. Less than half of pre-COVID pricing. Bali Hai a 4.5 star hotel right beside Walking Street is 1175 baht per night!

Unless it's a true high season like Xmas, New Year's Eve, or China's Golden Week, booking a Pattaya hotel is an afterthought because there are so many. Moving forward I doubt there will be another high season anyways for years to come. Even pre-COVID there was a lot of complaints from the locals that high season has disappeared. I know guys who are frequent visitors to Bangkok and Pattaya and never book a hotel more than 2 or 3 days in advance at a time. They prefer to move around the cities and hit local area bars.

Right now I'd definitely want to stay on Bukhao, near LK if you like being in the middle of the action. Also has most or all of its restaurants open, bars open, girls walking around etc. Bunch of great options for 1 k or less a night in that area. I recently stayed at the Oakwood jouneyhub on bukhao 15 that will give you a rate of 650-750 if you walk in, but can be advertised online as 1 k some days. Easy 5 min walk to boomerang and LK. Didn't even need to take taxi home with a girl some days.

I want to visit Pattaya so could you please tell me the normal budget hotels.

First, as others have noted, inquiries about lodging in Pattaya are academic at this juncture. It's going to be a LONG time before it's possible to easily visit Thailand from abroad. I could set down a ringing endorsement of the Grand Sea Breeze Tower and Suites, but it could go out of business by the time the borders are open again.

Second, there is an amazing variety of lodging in Pattaya. If you want to splash out, there are five star hotels with ocean views. If you're a Cheap Charlie, there are rooms with a fan on the east side of town. And everything in between. You need to provide more detail about your budget and your preferences. Your demand for information about "normal budget hotels" is meaningless.

Third, if you've never been to Pattaya (and I'm assuming you have not) you don't know what you don't know. Go back in this forum and read the last 100 pages. Google the lodging that strikes your fancy. Look at the photos. Do some map study. Get a sense of how the city is laid out. Make a list of candidates. If at that point you have SPECIFIC questions, put them to the group.

Agoda gets you very good rates even breakfast thrown in. Non refundable rates are the best. But good luck cancelling and getting refunds because of covid. For my last trip in March- April I had booked 5 upscale hotels. Got refunds from four except one in Bangkok. When I called Agoda the girl told me that it is very difficult to get a refund from some hotels in Thailand whatever the reason. I was expecting to loose money on all of them.

Got credit to use from Airlines including Air Asia that is if Air Asia is still in business.

From other posts you don't seem to be endearing yourself to posters. This request doesn't help your standing.

Normal budget hotels? Discuss.

I'm from India, I have booked several times in Agoda. One of the time, I booked a hotel & it was way to bad way too inside the main road unable to travel so I told I would like to cancel it since I was travelling with kids but they said they cannot do anything. They kept on saying they are helpless. There is not more time it happened the same. Recent time I have booked a hotels through OYO which is also like Agoda, I called up the hotel but they said they need medical certificate if I need to stay, I have cancelled & moved on. I always try to cross check before stepping in. Thanks for sharing.

I have booked Agoda rarely over the past 5 years. I generally use it to research rates in SEA then I may or may not contact the hotel direct for a booking as I have found they will generally beat or match the rate.

For this year's trip (April 16) I researched and selected my BKK hotel, (mid-size Thai chain hotel with upscale pricing) for which I had booked the previous 2 years, Agoda had a very good rate, the hotel did not respond and I knew I was coming, so I MADE THE MISTAKE OF BOOKING NON-REFUNDABLE, which was my mistake (I pushed the wrong button) no huge deal, as I was coming on my Holiday- nothing could stop me, 555.

As time passed, I cancelled my reservation 30 days in advance due to Covid 19. I sent a nice e-mail to the Hotel with a copy to Agoda, asking for a refund of my non-refundable reservation, or a credit good for 3 years for the value of my reservation- no response from the Hotel- 10 days pass, I resend the e-mail and contact Agoda via e-mail, they say please wait 10 days as they are working with the Hotel.

I had a mail from Eastiny Place because I have a booking in late August and want to postpone my dates. They say, open up in July.

As of last night at 9:30 pm when I went by lights out tape across entrance for the Eastiny on Soi 7 and 8, it was only the 1st I wouldn't be surprised if they started to open including Eastiny.

[Ozzydio]

Just to confirm Eastiny is closed but there are a few pages I noticed are opened, across the Soi High Five seem opened, Lek, Soi 10 near 2nd Road Page hotel, old Marriott now called Avani, Soi Baukhao Sotus seem open so is Holiday Inn Express.

Good luck.
