Pattaya Hotels

I stayed there in September. Service (reception) sucked. Totally uninspired as if they don't want your business. I paid something like 1700B per night.

When I wanted to take back three girls to my room they just refused saying there's a two girl max policy. It was also no use discussing it as they would not listen to me anymore. They wouldn't even consider extra joiner fees. That's what I mean by they SUCK. I checked out immediately.

Anyway, any of you know if there's really a max number of guests you can take up to your room?

Flipper Lodge will probably already be sold out for a peak week like that. You might try one of the Eastiny group of hotels that are on the same Soi - this includes Eastiny Inn, Eastiny Place, and Eastiny Plaza, all within 100 meters of each other. I'm going to be at the Eastiny Inn next week.

mates, i have received many pms asking me on my "feel" for pasadena lodge since i am now staying there. instead of replying to each and everyone of them i have decided to post my two cents worth (this is not an advertisement as i am not connected to the owner nor have i any vested interest except as a service to my fellow forum members to evaluate on another hotel in pattaya):

(1) the place is new (less than 2 yrs old....i believe);

(2) rooms are clean with in-room safety box;

(3) aircon is cold (controllable) and all amenities fully functional;

(4) bed is firm (not hard) and great for "fun" and sheets are clean (no unnecessary stains);

(5) internet is free (wifi) in the room;

(6) they always take the lady's id when you bring one back for overnight;

(7) 24-hrs security;

(8) on your left is devil's den and on your right is [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord900][CodeWord900][/url] (what more can you asked...hehehehe);

(9) beer bars is everywhere (soi diana & lk metro) and the girls here are not so harden as walking street; and

(10) walking street, soi 6,7 & 8 are all a baht bas away.

reason my friends did not want to stay there is because they are more use to big luxury looking lobby. that pasadena lodge does not have. its entrance is very cosy and full of green plants. to me it is very relaxing.

will i stay here again....definitely.

btw the lady manager (ae) is really charming and "delicious"...hahahaha

cheers

Appreciate the Info. I had tried to book myself in there for January but nothing available in my time frame. SO I am across the street at the Billabong. Just spent 8 nights at Queen Victoria on Soi 6, which is OK, but having spent a lot of time there in the past years it was time for a change. Plus, as we know, Thai fems have great memory so new ground must be found. So will try the LK Metro area.

Nothing but a good experience for me at the Nova Platinum. Am suprised its not more popular. Around 1450 baht inclusive on Agoda with GOOD wifi included in rooms. Pool is pretty nice and reception is pleasant. Get a room facing away from beach if possible since there is construction off behind the hotel.

I actually like the location , its pretty convenient to get anywhere. No problem bringing 2 friends, they just check id's.

It's very popular and still is a good bargain. However, there's been a disturbing trend occurring there as of late which may be turning some people off.

Billabong looks okay and I had a look at thier largest room which is 800baht. Not too bad except a bit old. Greg (the owner) is a great guy....

Hope you find a place....enjoy your stay.

Will spare the board this one but since "you're really intrigued" send me a PM for the rejoinder.

Can anyone suggest a good hotel max 1500 baht a night with a good location? We are 3 guys coming to Pattaya for the 1st time on 1.1-4.1. So it is high season and the recommended flipper lodge is fully booked at least according to their web site. What is the best service on the internet to make a booking or should we just travel there without a booking and get rooms then? We prefer 3 single rooms which gives enough room and privacy for some action.

I can get a good discount at a hotel right on Beach Road near Walking street, very near walking street, for around that price for a regular room. Unfortunately as this property does me favors I don't want to post it if you're interested PM me.

Believe single room is 1600 or so but it is right on beach road right near walking street. With internet tax included. I'll be there and a few other ISG members about three or four of us will be there Jan 4 to Jan 10 also.

Amari has added another hotel to their chain in Pattaya named Amari Nova Gold. It’s an excellent hotel but the location sucks big time. No regular Baht Bus on its route so some Motor-Bike drivers are smelling blood and are trying to gorge some people. Still, NG is an excellent hotel with swimming pool and fitness center. Last week they had (daily) promotional rates of 791B, the rooms have computers and internet access but the (super) promotional rates are now history. They do have a Tuk-Tuk service to transport guests to Big C, but unless you have your own transportation, the location will be an inhibitor for many.

I am planning a trip to Pattaya for the last two weeks in February. I have been RTFF looking for the right hotel. Lots of good information but as this is my first trip to Thailand I was hoping for some recommendations.

I am looking for a hotel with a safe in my room (of course), good wifi as I will be using my computer for phone calls, English TV, pool, some type of fitness center, a balcony and of course GF. Also, a good location away from the noise so I can sleep late in the morning. Having a large shower with a bath that fits two (as I have seen in many pics) would be a plus.

I am flexible on price but would like to limit it to around 3000thb per night.
The travel agency knows why I am going (heh heh heh) but I don't like the hotels he has recommended.

Thanks in advance for all you help.

Have a look at [url="http://www.pattayaone.com/"]http://www.pattayaone.com[/url]. The design of this website is poor, but there is valuable information about hotels in Pattaya.

For instance, [url="http://www.pattayaone.com/jacuzzi.html"]this webpage[/url] lists hotels that have jacuzzi in their bathrooms.

I have been to Pattaya twice this year. First time I stayed in Sandy Spring Hotel and the second time at LK renaissance. Both are recommended. LK is higher quality, but has a marginally worse location.

Both will suit your needs well.
