I was in Pattaya at the end of October, and sadly there was still no breakfast buffet at the Lek. And neither at the Apex.

I have only stayed at the Sandy Spring Hotel once, and it was OK. Nice rooms, friendly staff. The rooms at the higher floors have sea view, but it's a bit ruined by the ugly back sides of the buildings along Beach Road and Soi 13-1.
A comparable hotel in the same price range (probably a bit cheaper) is the Dynasty Inn at the other end of Soi 13. Take a room at the back side if you don't want to be disturbed by the noise from the beer bar at the corner with Second Road.
But in both hotels the walls between the rooms are very thin, so you can be bothered by noise from other guests.

Which brings me to another point that other posters have not mentioned yet: noisy areas.
The Intimate Hotel is in a noisy area (or at least the north side of it). And so are the Areca Lodge, Page 10, Maytara, and LK Residence.
So these hotels are not recommended if you're an early sleeper.

BIG issue- you left it a bit late to book over NYE. When I look well over 50% of the hotels are booked. Ones I was going to suggest that no one mentions here are Maytara and Page 10. Both well within your budget and in the area. More common places like Areca, Whitehouse Condotel etc all booked too. Since you don't mind soapies one hotel that is pretty decent albeit small rooms is Ibis Pattaya. $60 US. On baht bus route, near Terminal 21 and the Sabai area soapies and beer bars. LK Residence on Soi Diana would put you at the top of the price range but larger rooms and excellent location. View Talay 6 beside Central Festival is within your price range and I see some availability. Keep in mind not all units in VT6 are created equal by any means.

Sorry can't be of more assistance on late booking over NYE but wherever you choose book sooner rather than later for NYE. Same with any half decent girl if you're looking for one for NYE too. Arriving on Dec 28 may already be too late.

FYI 70k is a huge budget for 5 days. Even if I deduct $600 US for hotels that leaves you with roughly 10,000 baht per day on girls. I guarantee you only a handful of guys on this board spends that much except for gogo bar guys.

Is there a reason you're picking that area in general? You most interested in beer bars? Beach Road? soapies? Walking Street? LK Metro? Soi 6? near a mall?

On a related note for those in town, does Tim's Bar still have a gogo bar inside? That bar was a relatively unknown gem but haven't been since pre-COVID.

I also liked the Tim Bar. I always stay in a hotel on Soi 13 which is close to that location. Sadly, when I returned to Pattaya in September for the first time since Covid I noticed that the Tim Bar is no longer in existence. I guess it was another casualty of Covid.

I think around 70-100 margin for a hotel is good for me.

Hi Mate.

I have stayed in a few places but my favourite by far is Areca Lodge. It is on Metro but close to everything. And not expensive. Nice breakfast and very guest friendly. If you want to go to Soi 6 just get a bike taxi or a baht bus. I like to walk and it is only 20 minutes.

Never. I sty there for a week at a time as it is close to Soi 6 etc. I then switch to either Siam at Siam or Hilton for the following weeks.

I had 2 girls with me for several nights my trip in Oct. I had a huge suite and booked via expedia for 3 people #winning.

Its a great hotel. More 4* than 5 IMHO.

YMMV.

Right off the bat, let me admit I have yet to stay at either place. So I'll just say a few words about their locations, and leave it at that.

They are both in central Pattaya, which is good for a first time visitor. But I'll give the edge to the Sandy Springs. It's on Soi 13 between Beach Road and Second Road, which means it's a VERY short walk to catch a baht bus headed south on Beach Road or north on Second Road. So super-easy to get back and forth to Walking Street and Soi 6. If you're interested in Soi LK Metro, Soi Buakao, Soi Pothole, Soi Lengkee or Soi Boomerang, they are all easy walks. Finally, Soi 13 features the excellent Sportsman Pub, a nice laundry and the breakfast buffet at the Lek Hotel. (Assuming they still offer it. Can anybody weigh in?

The Intimate is east of Second Road on Soi 14 Alley, which is a narrow snicket. Moreover, it's a dead end. No matter where you're going, you'll have to walk back to Second Road. There isn't much in the way of commerce on that alley, so you'll be making that walk quite often.

Stayed at this hotel for 3 nights. This is on the beach road which makes is easy to move around ... walking street (10 mins walk) or to the beach etc. Its a GREEN hotel to bring in guest.I did see a message at the reception that 500Baht shall be paid incase of guest which i asked for clarification. I was told that this is for any additional guest ( may be 3rd if room is for 2 or for 2nd if room was was one).... Since the room was booked for double occupancy, there were no issues to bring in guests for short time or long time. 4 different guests came along on these days and there was no issue...Room was huge with queen bed, a tiny balcony to sit and chat, baths had jacuzzi. Breakfast was great too.When I had a guest for short time, the reception made sure to call back on intercom to check if the ID card of the guest can be handedover. Liked this part of check.

Highly recommended. Only -ve is that I landed early to 2 Pm and check in was denied as till 2 PM. Can swallow this part as its a rule.

It was 498 USD for a week stay (thru AirBnB).

The apartments have all the typical facilities and I got a high floor unit which ensured a nice peaceful time free from road nice. Location is good too. I booked mine thru Air BnB. Not sure if there are better deals booking directly through the condo manager but I got a decent rate since the high season had not kicked in full gear yet m during my stay: November 18-25.

So how much did you pay for a week?
