Pattaya Hotels

[QUOTE=TheTank85;1807163]Hello guys,

I am planning a trip to LOS in Mid Feb with one of my best friends and thought it would be a good idea to get a good 4* Hotel with a suite with 2 attached rooms and a common hall.

Do anyone have an idea about any such hotels or service apartments? I was thinking of booking somewhere close to where all the action is.

Thanks[/QUOTE]Have a look at [URL]http://thehotelvista.com[/URL] I have never stayed there but it has some connecting rooms. It bills itself as a new luxury hotel but the rates seem reasonable. I don't believe I have ever read a review here about this hotel.

Hi all,

I am planning a trip to Pattaya in Feb 2016 with a friend, I did some research and narrowed down to following list:

Estimate Cost for 2 rooms for 5 days.

Citin Garden Resort $ 300 Include Breakfast.

Bombay Magic Suites $ 240 no breakfast.

B2 South Pattaya $ 240 Include Breakfast.

Super Bed Otel $ 225 no breakfast.

Manita Boutique $ 360 no breakfast.

Sunshine $ 360 NO breakfast.

Golden Sea Pattaya $ 330 Include Breakfast.

Need suggestion if this is OK?

Thanks[/QUOTE]In September a buddy and I had adjoining suites at the penthouse hotel. Each room had its own jacuzzi and stripper pole. About a 5 minute walk from walking street and 100 meters to the beach. Breakfast is included. I would call it a 4 star hotel definitely not a 5 star but fun place.

Anyone know of the current state of Sea Me Spring Too in regard to surrounding construction and noise? I plan to stay there for a few nights for New Years; however, tend to sleep in quite late.

Thank you.

[URL]http://www.fourseasonsplace.com[/URL][/QUOTE]Not a bad looking place at all, too bad its well off the beaten path. Read a review on tripadvisor that they have a free shuttle to walking street and beach road but taxi's back to the hotel will run you 200 baht. I know baht bus's run up south pattaya road but how frequently do they run at night?

[QUOTE=Breadman;1811844] .... I know baht bus's run up south pattaya road but how frequently do they run at night?[/QUOTE]Baht busses run ALL night and they come down the road often. I never had to wait more than 2 minutes for one.

[QUOTE=PipeLayer99;1811867]Baht busses run ALL night and they come down the road often. I never had to wait more than 2 minutes for one.[/QUOTE]By 'ALL' do you mean 24/7?

[QUOTE=Breadman;1811873]By 'ALL' do you mean 24/7?[/QUOTE]Yes. For clarification, on 2nd road, soi Buakhao, and beach road you can get a bus at all hours.
I have even seen baht buses on N. Pattaya and Central Pattaya in the late night hours. However, on those two roads the buses run less frequent.
Now if you want to go down South Pattaya (away from the beach) you would be better off just get a motor bike taxi if you are comfortable with riding on them. Or you can rent one of the baht buses right there on S. Pattaya just outside of walking st. If you do get one of those buses waiting, always negotiate the fare.

Bro,

Suggestion would be for cost, location, GF and decent room size. A friend suggested "Bay breeze", "Nova gold" and "B2 south Pattaya" as viable options too. Further I have decided to divide my trip to 4 days Pattaya & 4 days BKK.

First, some hotel discount sites, TripAdvisor, Booking and Agoda, are a few good ones. Each allows search by location and price. Each site also has reviews, read them and look for problems. Once you get a list of possible hotels it's time for the next tool.

Google search for "girl friendly hotel Pattaya", you will find a few different lists. Check for the hotels on your list. Maybe you can take a few off, maybe you can add a few.

Next, search this forum for posts about the hotels on your list. There's a good chance you'll find a report for some of them. Once again, refine your list.

By this time, you should have a list of several hotels which you have decided will fit your basic needs. Now it's time to rank them.

My first step, find hotels in my price range. Location is not as important to me, but I will eliminate the hotels that are too far away from food, entertainment and transportation. Next I filter out hotels that don't have my required amenities. I insist on WiFi and AirCon. Next, I scratch off any with cleanliness or maintenance or bug issues. I don't want to spend my time sleeping with bedbugs and stepping on roaches. While I'm at it, I look for customer service problems.

After cleaning up my list through Google and forum search, I score each hotel, after I group by location. For Pattaya, I might have groups for Walking Street, Soi 6, Soi Buakhao, Soi LK Metro. How you score hotels is up to you. I score higher for king size bed, larger room, view, customer service, breakfast included, pool and decor.

After I'm finished, I have 2 or 3 hotels each in the different areas I'm considering, plus 1 or 2 outside my search area.

I tend to spend 10 to 15 hours working on a list of hotels. When I'm finished, I am certain that my hotel choice won't spoil my trip.

Each person here has their own criteria for a hotel room. Some will stay in places I wouldn't dare, some only choose hotels out of my price range. It's a lot of work, but when you are finished, you will be able to ask questions that people can answer.

SNIP....[/QUOTE]Bro,

Thanks for all the pointers. Purpose for my trip is purely mongering (booze and girls as many as I can handle).

I have already been through the process you mentioned and narrowed down list of hotels (it's there in my first post here). The problem is I am unable to finalize on a particular one, may be because it's my first trip and.

Having newbie jitters (don't know if its a thing but I am experiencing it). All the hotels I narrowed down allows guests (confirmed by directly asking hotels), in my budget ($25 - $30) and situated around south to central Pattaya. But still I am a bit hesitant as to which hotel to book, as per my research action is almost everywhere (north, south or central Pattaya) but which should be good for a newbie like me? Who is travelling alone. So what I do about this, I turn to my fellow brethren on ISG who already have ton of experience and may have been through similar experience. I hope I am able to convey my exact need of help in this post.

P.S.: further research has led my to add "LK Mansion" in my list of hotels. Please bare with me.

Cheers,

MB

MB[/QUOTE]In your original post, you listed 8 hotels. You later added the Bay Breeze, Nova Gold, B2 South Pattaya, and LK Mansion. That's 12 hotels.

I doubt there's any ISG member who has stayed at all 12 hotels so making a comparison between them is difficult. You should also know that within a hotel, there are old, new, and remodeled rooms (Standard vs. Deluxe vs. Suite) so you're asking someone to compare apples to oranges and make a recommendation.

Everyone has different expectations when they stay at a certain hotel, for example, less than a five minute walk away from the "action"; reliable WI-FI; free breakfast; king size bed; swimming pool. Without knowing who you are and what you expect in a hotel, it's impossible and unrealistic for anyone to make a recommendation for you that will satisfy you 100%. It's like asking which beer bar or go-go bar is the best in Pattaya.

You've confirmed that they're all within your budget, GFF, and located close to the "action". If you've done "research," you should be able to narrow down your hotels from 12 to less than 5 (and don't ask the ISG community to do that for you).

I understand that you have "newbie jitters" but you're only there for 4 NIGHTS so make an "executive decision. " You're only renting a hotel room. You're not buying the place. It's not the end of the world if the hotel turns out to be less than you expected; but it should not completely ruin your trip if you've done your research and selected a hotel that meets your basic minimum expectations.

We've all ended up in hotels that we've regretted staying at, but that's part of the adventure and the learning process. If you're so jittery and unsure of your ability to research hotel reviews and make a judgment call on which one to stay at, you might want to re-consider your trip to Pattaya or go on a package tour where everything is decided for you.

SNIP.[/QUOTE]First of all I am here asking for suggestion from people who have been in a place where I would be going for the first time, I am not expecting anyone to make decisions for me. Giving suggestion / sharing experience isn't that's the whole purpose of this forum?

I also get the point that there won't be a single ISG member who had stayed at all the hotels I have listed, hell it may be a case where not a single one had stayed in any of the hotels I have listed. But the reason I shared the list is just in case if a fellow member had stayed in it then he / she can share the experience, if not that's OK too.

As far as understanding that its just renting a hotel and not end of the world, well I must thank you for opening up my eyes.

I totally agree about people ended up staying at hotels they regretted and its part of learning process, but learning from other's mistake (mostly due to misfortune) isn't that is also part of the process? What I expected was just sharing of experience. Again this what this forum is for, at least that's the impression I was under.

Anyway thanks again for you valuable inputs.
