Pattaya Hotels

I am an Indian origin guy based in US visiting Pattaya next week will be there from 29 to 31 Jan. Anyone interested in meeting up for a drink or two or maybe monger to scene together let me know.

This would be my first time at this place so could use some help and tips. Should I ask for a higher floor while booking? Any suggestions for some nice rooms in this place that are not noisy?

Looking the position of the VT6 between beach road and second road I don't know how can be not noisy. Furthermore, I have often read about people complaining about very noisy neighbors in their apartments at night.

Sure the location of this condo is top notch, but I would never stay in Central Pattaya, I prefer the quiet Cozy Beach / Pratamnak Hill for quiet.

Any suggestions for booking a better room at View talay 6?

There are many private websites that book VT6 rooms. You can find whatever you're seeking for your budget. The nicest room there is the 180 sqm Penthouse with a 270 degree wrap around balcony overlooking the Beach. 2 bedrooms. Not sure of the price now but IIRC it was close to 200 USD per night in 2015 and 2016. That was my go to room especially when I wanted to party like Explorer and have 4 girls over. Girls love to run around. Be careful most don't want to leave.

Are the kitchens good enough for some Thai cooking by a. Ahm. Guest? Do the safes work nicely and are indeed safe etc. ?

TIA.

I am curious what the housekeeping options are in a condo. It can dampen spirits when you have multiple ladies visit or come home with you and the sheets are less than pristine and the towels have all been used. I don't mind doing some research, but appreciate being pointed to a reputable agent or website.

TIA,

There's no need to fret about housekeeping. When booking just say you want housekeeping to come by x times a week and I'm sure most hosts will arrange that for you without any problems for an extra charge of 300-500 baht per time.

I am looking for a upscale condo to rent that has a nice pool area in late Feb / Early March if anyone can point me in the right direction. I would not turn down something in Central Pattaya, but would like to see what might be available in the area near the Sirin Hotel. I kind of liked that area.

Oops. Every condo is different on the housekeeping front. I just do it myself, although some of my older lady friends will do some cleaning if they sleep over.

I plan to rent in March and April. 50 k per month is ok. I need a good large swimming pool.

I'll rent a motorbike to move around in the neighbourhood and shop for food but I'll fall back on the Baht bus to travel to central Pattaya. Is parking one's motorbike motorbike along the Baht bus line a good idea? I'm never sure where parking one's motorbike is allowed in Thailand.

Any tips?

My query is similar to Skyrider's below.

First off, get a condo with parking. You don't want to leave your moto on the street.

Second, you will find that many condos in Pratumnak are too far from Thrappaya Road for you to use a baht bus.

You have to ask your host, most host not including housekeeping, few will offer 1 time a week. Always ask your host how many towels and bed sheets you have in the apartment.

The other place I looked at is the Unique Hotel on the corner, a little less expensive so I don't know how it is. I may try Sanctuary, I will return in late Feb. However I really enjoyed the Sirin.

A friend of mine stayed at the Unique Hotel, the hotel in nice and rooms are fine, small swimming pool on the roof top. The hotel is obviously guestfriendly as they write in their website.

I'm currently at Hilton Pattaya, and I'm happy with it. I want to shift to more reasonable priced options. I was considering Sirin and Amehyst. My requirements are (1) cleanliness / housekeeping should be good (2) in room safe (3) good wifi (4) safe but easy guest policy (check ID of the girl, and send her straight to my room, after calling me), (5) reasonable guest fees (6) fitness center with working treadmills (7) the rooms should not look cheap. I don't care much for restaurants in hotel or pool in hotel. Do these two options satisfy these requirements?

I don't know the Sirin, but I've stayed at the Amethyst and it tix all of your boxes, except that they don't have a fitness center.
But IIRC I have seen a fitness center in Soi Buakhao nearby.

And regarding point 5 they say this in the FAQ on their website:
Q: Is the hotel guest-friendly?
A: Yes, we are guest-friendly but not exceeding the maximum occupancy for the room type booked.

By the way, be aware that the rooms facing Soi Buakhao are rather noisy, due to the bars there.
The rooms at the other side, which are almost all Deluxe Rooms, are much more quiet. Except maybe the ones more to the front of the hotel, which is facing Soi 15 (Soi Buakhao 15).

You can always go to the hotels you are considering and ask them to show you a room (if one is available) and their amenities. Also ask about guest policies, wifi etc. Since you've narrowed it down to 2 hotels it won't take long.

Stayed 6 nights total, 3 each at both the properties. Both guest friendly. Was a last minute booking to had to pay a little, than what these hotels go for.

40 USD / per night for holiday inn.

55 USD / per night for Amethyst.

Breakfast is okay in both, nothing special.

Using the lift in the basement in holiday inn, I was able to sneak in a an extra girl without paying guest fee.

Cheers.
