Pattaya Hotels

Check out page10, the stay hotel, whitehouse condotel, and baywalk residence (not 100% sure if this one is GF. call and ask if you like it).

Baywalk Residence is GF. The Mini Suite with sea view is very good. Cost 4500 Baht a night breakfast inclusive.

My question is this. I'd like something a little nicer than LK empress and Areca. Close to walking street. Preferably with a balcony and a pool bar would be a bonus. GF obviously.

I stayed at the Hilton last time but it's a bit too expensive. 330 right now. Avani would be a great fit but they now have a big joiner fee and room is pretty pricey. Any ideas?

I just quickly checked for check-in 4 days from now. From what I can see lots of hotel availability and prices don't seem that bad. I see Hilton at 6700 baht. Siam Bayshore steps from Walking Street for 2900 baht. A bit further out but still on baht bus route there is the luxury Dusit Thani at 3700 baht. Another high end hotel is Royal Cliff for about the same price 5 minutes from Walking Street if you have a motorbike. ISG favorite Baraquda is 3200 baht and very convenient for Walking Street and LK Metro. If your budget is lower PM me with your exact dates and I will find something within your budget.

Check out page10, the stay hotel, whitehouse condotel, and baywalk residence (not 100% sure if this one is GF. call and ask if you like it).

edit - as PL just posted, Page 10 on 2nd Road is also a very good choice. Baywalk Residence is girl friendly.

So I am taking off for my first high season trip in four days. My low season trip in Sept I noticed prices got lower the last week or few days. Due to plans not being set in stone in regards to a Hua Hin trip I hadn't booked a room uet. Today I learned why it's called high season. Duh. Siam Siam and a few others I had my eye on from last trip doubled in price and / or sold out. My BKK room at four points sold out too.

Hi guys,

I have booked the Siam bayshore in January, anyone had any experience of this hotel? Girl friendly? Or is there a fee?

I stayed there last year. Nice hotel. Wonderful breakfast. No problem with a guest. Good location right at the far end of Walking Street.

Green as of December '17. No problems at all. However, the walls of the room seem to be paper thin with a lot of unwanted noise coming in from the adjoining rooms, corridor etc. Why I am mentioning this is because it can be quite irritating especially when you are trying to catch some sleep. Would advice some caution in this regard. In so far as room amenities, cleanliness etc. Is concerned, have to say it was all of nice standard. No issues in this regard.

As mentioned in previous replies, some hotels follow the practice of logging guest / joiner details. In Areca Lodge, they note all details of guest, keep a copy with them and give one to the guest / joiner. The guest has to present the copy while leaving the hotel to collect her ID card. Unlike some other hotels here the reception doesn't call when the guest leaves, don't know why.

I know, this is common practice in most hotels. But you said that YOU had to sign this form. I find that strange because I never have to sign this form. Only my guests have to do that.

What exactly is this guest entry form and why do you have to sign it? I've never stayed in a hotel in Thailand where you have to sign a form for guests.

Isn't life full of coincidences! One of my online girls posted a copy of the Areca Lodge Unregistered form online this morning. Some lucky guy got himself well and truly fucked last night LOL.

Holy shit! Trust me, that's not me. I'm not in Thailand at the moment, some other lucky guy I guess.

Sorry man. Nothing new here. Stay somewhere else. Overpriced hotel with lacking service. If you want a good hotel next time, send me a pm. I will point you in the right direction.

No doubt, it's overpriced. In past one year I have been to Thailand 4 times, used Airbnb booking every time. Due to Christmas and new year holidays all nice condos were fully booked, so had to book this hotel in last moment. But no more, the hotel disappointing me this time. Thanks for your helping hand, will definitely contact when I go next time.

The location doesn't look too good to me.

People seem to be using the words "guest" (global term) and "joiner" (more a Thailand term) interchangeably, where they have quite different status as far as the hotel is concerned:

Guests are registered to the room. They have charging privileges to the room account. They can request a room key at the front dest.

Joiners are someone who is visiting you at the hotel. Technically they should be in your presence at all times. As far as the hotel is concerned they are not staying there, but hotels want to log them in for security purposes.

In some Hotels for the safety of guest visitors have sign and leave a ID At the reception and when leaving you can collect it. So the guests won't steal or leave without you being present when leaving at the reception.

1 - While checking-in during evening, I told them I was expecting a guest at 10 pm. The reception asked me to comedown and escort the guest when she comes. I told them I was tired and looking for a quick nap before the night starts, thus requested to send the guest to my room but they didn't agree and mentioned that I needed to sign the guest entry form when she comes. To this, I encountered to sign the guest entry form in advance since I didn't want to come down due to tiredness but they refused.
It'd be a great help if they can address this matter.

Stayed 4 nights during Christmas holidays, this is my second stay over here.

As always the hotel never disappoints, good location and nice rooms. However, there are few things I didn't like this time I would like to highlight.

2 - I had to book a taxi for Bangkok for which made some local calls since my mobile balance was almost finished. To my surprise they charged me 100 bahts for three local calls, each of them lasting from 2-5 minutes. A rip-off IMO. I was in the assumption that local calls were free of charge. Nevermind, I learned my lesson.

Mark my words, never make calls from hotel phone and don't use their laundry service. It's a rip-off.

Breakfast was nice, 1000 bahts deposit they returned while checking-out. Overall, it's a nice hotel in medium budget. I feel their business is a bit dull these days due to which some nice promotions are going on.
