Pattaya Hotels

I hear 3som bar and guest house on LK Metro is closing down at the end of this month due to construction. Can anyone suggest a similar type of guest house in the same price range. I will be there in March.

Thanks,

Chris

Any suggestions on a nice guesthouse w / pool 500 baht plus?

Thanks!

This hotel is probably not suited to the two week millionaires who need to be close to the action on walking street but rather medium to long term mongers. Its located on soi 10 cental Pattaya road (Pattaya klang). I stayed her for a couple of nights between Christmas and NY due to the shortage of accommodation and was presently surprised. The building has been refurbished with very good fitout (for Thai standards) including the bathrooms. The rooms are very large and seem about twice the size of what I am usually use to and are very clean. The place is monger friendly and there is a receptionist on duty at all hours. For the extremely inenbriated or slightly handicapped monger there are lifts to all floors available.

I stayed in a standard for 700 baht at night and goes for 7, 900 a month which is excellent value as it comes with a balcony and aircon together with Cable TV. Downside was that widows are minimal but its more of a fault with the original design I think. In addition there are deluxe and superior rooms at daily rates of 800 and 900 baht but since the place was full I didn't get a chance to check them out but Location is excellent with Big C is located a block or so around the cornor, some interesting Thais restrauants and stalls that open up at night along lower patta klang.

The manager there speaks excellent English and best of all seems to run the place along western lines so there none of the usual mai pen rai bullshit. She is probably the most professional hotel manager I have come across in LOS. As I alluded to before this place is suited to those on longer term holidays who need quiet, clean accommodation within a reasonable budget.

Last time I stayed at Jasmine hotel. Good and cheap but rooms were a bit too poorly decorated for my taste.

Any other recommendations for a bit upscale girl friendly hotels at walking distance from beach road or walking street?

Must be very quite though.

Thanks in advance.

[QUOTE=Hotman 666; 1519492]In MY opinion a nice place to stay, quiet and well located.

It attracts mostly UK / European golfers and the UK owner arranges golf trips.

The "middle sized" rooms are rather good and (if you need the extra room) the large suite is very good.

Breakfast is quite OK and FREE!

Like some other hotels there is an extra charge if you want to bring two playmates back for a threesome.

Enjoy,

Hopefully they have updated their system.[/QUOTE]When I stayed at the White House in December of 2011 wi-fi was available throughout the hotel. (Even though the sign out front advertised DSL!) I had no trouble connecting in my room on the second floor overlooking Soi 13. But when I was up on the roof working poolside I had to be careful about where I sat. The bandwidth was adequate for e-mail and ordinary web surfing. I can't speak to more demanding applications like a VPN or downloading large files. I'm a Wintel guy, so I can't speak to any Apple connectivity issues either.

Finally, I seem to recall I paid extra on top of the room rate to get the wi-fi password. In my view that's a "junk charge," especially when you're paying over 3,000 baht per night for a nice one-bedroom hotel suite. That was more than two years ago, however. These days the White House may have stopped charging extra for internet access.

Bunky

There were some questions about joiner fee at the Hilton in prior posts, my answers a little late but here's the lowdown. You'll never get a chick past the rats in the lower lobby. 1000 baht plus some pretty good interrogation of the girl once they have I'd card in hand. They don't play there!

I have just booked in here for 8 nights from 14 Feb 14. Gives me a decent base to look at other options while in Pattaya. Hope to stay three to four weeks in all.

Can anyone confirm that the D2 is still girl friendly?

Many thanks

[QUOTE=BlueWin2;1527978]Can anyone confirm that the D2 is still girl friendly?[/QUOTE]Confirmation. Check.

No one blinks an eye if you bring back home a guest at night, no matter it's one or two guests, girls or ladyboys

[QUOTE=Zauberfee; 1528049]Confirmation. Check.

Anyone stayed at the Privi Suites before? There was a report about it in the reports section. I'm looking for some place $50 with a jacuzzi. Size and noise level is not important. It just needs to be clean (no roaches) and have a jacuzzi.

Also, in regards to Thailand hotels in general. Is it cheaper to book online or just show up? This is my first time to Thailand. I was thinking of booking a night online and then see how it goes. If the hotel is nice, I'll stay longer. If not, I'll go look for someplace else.

This info is only relevant to those that like to save, need to stay a longer time, and drive a bike.

Some examples off Sukhumvit Soi 53, also called east Pattaya.
Nice, ample 1 bedroom with patio, pool 7.000 Bt / month. 500 Bt / month for linens (yes that is ridicolous) , 7.000 Bt deposit, electric and water billed separately.
Small room in a new building. 3.000 Bt / 2 wks or 5.000 / month. Deposit 2.200 Bt. No charge for utilities apparently, that is where I'm staying at the moment.
Free internet is a given, if not, move on. All these arrangements will require you to do your cleaning and linens change, or be charged for, like 150-250 Bt.

I must underline that these places can be cheap, but are absolutely clean, well maintaned, safe and decent. PM if you want more details.
Pattaya has become a big town and you can find equivalents or better all over the place, just moving a little out of touristic areas.

Interesting that everyone wants the "higher priced places". I tend to "go native" myself. My Thai is decent and all I really want is a fridge, a clean room a decent bed and no hassles. Internet is a plus but as long as I can get a cell phone signal, I can get the net. There are some places on Buakhao between Honey and the night market that charge about 8000 / month for "standard room" and I will probably try one of them in May. Otherwise I tend to stay off 2nd road for about 500B / night.

I saw some relatively low cost apartments (5000 / month) off 3rd by the driving range. Kind of need a moto to make it work. Too far to walk regularly.
