Pattaya Hotels

Maybe it is USD conversion to Baht, but Page 10 is quoted at $64 with breakfast before taxes and fees. Hotel Baraquda is $142 with breakfast before taxes and fees. With comparable rooms, that is at least double in my book, and you can also even get a more expensive room at Hotel Baraquda. But if you are looking for nice place in November, Page 10 is already booked solid. I am glad I have one of those rooms.

Good luck!

Page 10 (Double w / o bf): 45 aka 1. 950 THB.

Page 10 (Double with bf): 49 aka 2. 100 THB.

Hotel Baraquda (Deluxe w / o bf): 50 aka 2. 150 THB.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=MrJetsetter;1600060]How would you rate the Whitehouse re the noise factor? Last time I was in Pattaya, I stayed at the Pasadena Lodge in the center of Soi LK Metro and quickly grew tired of the post-midnight bar noise and bass thumps emanating from the very nearby clubs, even though I was staying in a quite nice sixth floor room.[/QUOTE]There is a beer bar on the northwest corner of Soi 13 and Second Road. It features a live band in the evening and draws a decent crowd. But you won't be disturbed at the Whitehouse Condotel. I stayed in a second floor suite that was at the front of the building (#215) and I never heard a thing from the beer bar, or any other street sounds for that matter. (Wish I could say the same for the Page 10, which is afflicted by a nearby beer bar where the AMPs are all set to 11, just like in "Spinal Tap.") In the interest of full disclosure: I sleep with the windows closed and the air conditioning on. If you opened the window walls I'm sure the streets sounds would be audible.

Another nice thing about the Whitehouse Condotel is that it caters to golfers, a group of guys who tend to retire early so that can start their rounds in the cool of the early morning. So unlike some other Pattaya hotels, you won't be disturbed by knuckleheads making a ruckus in the corridors or adjacent rooms. To the contrary, the evening vibe at the Whitehouse is most definitely on the down low. It's girl-friendly, natch. But my sense was that if you are the kind of guy who likes to party hearty you'd be more comfortable elsewhere. Whenever I returned for the evening with my dream date I found myself lowering my voice as I greeted the security guy and went through the formalities at the front desk.

Bunky.

[QUOTE=FeelzGood;1600369]Good luck![/QUOTE]It has nothing to do with good luck. It's ok if you don't know how to find a cheaper rate, but do like no one else will be able to find them.

I got a chuckle out of your comment for when I use to stay there (have moved up the street to VT6), which was a lot of times, I got the same vibe. Quiet, do not disturb the sleeping golfers. Never heard any outside noise from any of the rooms I stayed in.

Hi,

I am visiting Pattaya first time for one week in second week of August. I would appreciate if anyone can suggest me some names of hotels taking into consideration following:

1. Price range or around 1000 baht.

2. 3-4 star category.

3. Near the beach road and other happening areas.

4. That allows girls.

5. Provides a safe in the room to keep my valuables like cash, etc.

Thanks

[QUOTE=FunlvGguy]1. Price range or around 1000 baht; 2. 3-4 star category; 3. Near the beach road and other happening areas; 4. That allows girls; 5. Provides a safe in the room to keep my valuables.[/QUOTE]The second week in August is low season, so you can probably find a halfway decent place to stay for 1000 baht per night.

Go back 20 or 30 pages in this forum and read the reports. You'll see certain hotels are mentioned over and over. They are popular with the punters here for a reason. Google the hotel websites to learn more about them and to check rates.

NOTE WELL: As a first time visitor you need to learn the basics of Pattaya geography. There are numerous maps online, but I like the old-fashioned type because I can have that at my fingertips when I'm doing my online research. I like this one:

[URL]http://www.amazon.com/Groovy-Map-n-Guide-Pattaya/dp/9745251135[/URL].

I recommend you stay in what's known as "Central Pattaya." This area is well-served by baht buses and convenient to the three main naughty boys haunts: Walking Street, Soi 6 and Soi LK Metro. (If you don't know where these are, you can learn by reading the Pattaya Reports forum and using your Groovy map.) Central Pattaya features every conceivable convenience you'd want during your holiday. If you are a Pattaya novice you can't go wrong staying there.

Look for lodging south of Central Pattaya Road (also known as Pattaya Klang), north of South Pattaya Road (aka Pattaya Thai), on or east of Beach Road and on or west of Soi Buakaow. Ground Zero is probably Second Road and Soi 13. If you use the hotel booking site called [URL]Agoda.com[/URL], you can filter the results to show only the hotels in Central Pattaya. Most of the hotels mentioned in this forum are in this zone. Hotels closer to the beach cost more, and the rates drop east of Second Road.

Once you have identified some hotels that sound promising, you can ask informed questions here that are *FAR* more likely to be answered than clueless new guy queries:

WRONG: I'm looking for a nice place that doesn't cost a lot. Any ideas?

RIGHT: Lounging poolside is one of my favorite holiday pastimes. Which hotel has a better pool, the Dusit D2 or the Page 10?

Good luck. Be sure to report on your holiday.

Bunky

$Hi,

Any have some comments onthe Pattaya centerhotel? Its supposed to be guest friendly but also looks like a family hotel. I want to avoid the walk of same through a bunch of parents with their kinds.

Anyone been there.

The others I found suitable are Intimate Hotel or Jasmine hotel. I am looking for something around 75 US $ close to walking street.

I visited a friend at LK The Empress and I thought it was a great hotel. Excellent reviews here and on most other websites, GF, and great Beach Road location at Soi 12. Rooms were available on Agoda in September for about US $65. Sounds like a great deal to me. I would grab it. I suspect it is much nicer than Pattaya Centre Hotel. LK The Empress is almost right next to the Pattaya Centre Hotel.

One for you and one for your lady. If you need you can also bypass the front desk by cutting through the convenience store. The only disappointment was that the wifi was very spotty in my room, but worked well in the lobby.

Friends,

I'll be coming on 11th Aug. To Pattaya for my maiden journey and was hoping if some of the seniors could suggest some beach front girl friendly hotel close to the Walking street or Soi 6.

Criteria is close to the beach with a good view of the sea from the room / balcony and tariff of about 2 k per night.

Cheers!

I recently stayed at Page 10 which was good. Stay away from Sea me View in Soi 10. Construction going on right next door to it.
