Pattaya Hotels

Hi all,

New to mongers area.

I'm planning my first trip to Pattaya in next Feb / March. Would like to know few information from Seniors.

1-Do most of the Hotels charge fine for bringing a girl for overnight stay? What's the normal amount if they charge?

2-Free WiFi, does it cover WiFi access to private rooms also. Asking because I read somewhere hotels give access to WiFi only in public areas.

3-I saw most of the popular hotels provide online bookings via various travel portals / apps. Now is the rate going to be cheap using these portals or booking directly with Hotel would be cheaper. I also would like to mention here that various portals provide 20-3-% off on online bookings.

4-The above are the basic points I though of. If I'm missing something need a check of, please guide.

Regards,

Fellow monger.

I will be in Pattaya may 20 for three weeks. Last year I stayed 3 weeks at hotel Opey Dr Place on Soi lengkee just off Soi Diana nice big clean room with balcony nice shower great staff and pool if staying more than 7 nights only 800 BT per night. Don't know why but this time I have booked room at Kilkenny bar Soi l k metro just wondering has anyone stayed there recently is it any good? Is it too noisy? Appreciate any help.

Thanks guys.

It should also say NO DESPERATE PLEAS FOR HELP to find hotels, restaurants, transportation, condoms, 7-11 stores, etc. It shows that you haven't made any effort to do any research or you're so clueless or immature that you should not leave your own country.[/QUOTE]LOL that was a fun jibe!

[QUOTE=PipeLayer99;1813198]The construction noise is from the places being built next door and across the street. You won't have noise at NIGHT. But you will most likely hear something in the daytime.
The rooms are ok. I have stayed at both Corona and Evergreen. Suggest you call and change to the Corona building facing the pool. Otherwise, request a room facing the pool from the Evergren.
Good luck.[/QUOTE]I just got back after a two night stay here. No noise in the day time. I didn't notice construction across the hotel, rather the entrance to evergreen is partially blocked and covered by scaffolding. But my room was not in the same wing of evergreen so I was not affected. I slept at 4 am every night through the day waking up periodically only to fornicate or [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord140][CodeWord140][/url], no disturbances and noises whatsoever.

I loved the place! Thank you for the excellent recommendation, although next time I will choose a somewhat cheaper place just to save money. I booked a super deluxe.
Cheers.

1. Most hotels don't ask for a "joiner fee" if you bring one girl to your room, provided you have made a booking for a 2 person room. If still in doubt, just email the hotel and ask what their policy is for unregistered guests.

2. That is entirely dependent on the hotel. Email them and ask.

3. Usually the rate on websites like [url]www.booking.com[/URL] are the cheapest as they bind "their" hotels not to undercut the web-site prices. Again, just ask the hotel what their best price is if you buy direct from them.

Now go back 20 pages or so on this forum and start reading so you get detailed info about the Pattaya hotel market.

Thanks guys.[/QUOTE]I stayed at Kilkenny once 4 years ago. Room was big with a old furniture and was not quiet. For me now is sure too noisy but I'm not a disco / party man.

I was in Pattaya last February and stayed at the Ozo hotel. I'm thinking of coming back again this year and I see that the Ozo is now the Premier Inn. I was quite satisfied with the Ozo last year. I'm just wondering if anyone has stayed in the hotel since the change and if so has anything changed positively or negatively?

Thanks

Any hotel within walking distance from WS and Beach road, which has bath tubs or Jacuzzi without joiner fees? And where one can have good sleep also when sleep is required (sound proof-from the noise of bars).

Heard of Tim Boutique (Now Intimate Hotel). Any recent experience? RTFF found that they are quite strict with registering all visiting guests (checkin and check out), and many rules and call every room every morning at 10 am and all that.

Any other good option?

Having the girls register in and out is actually seen as a benefit, not a hinderance.

I don't know if they have sound proof.

Thanks a lot for your valuable advice Banana Boi and Christian G.

Did lot of study and research and booked studio rooms with bath tubs at Baywalk residence. It was quite cheaper, Location is very good and satisfied my requirements well.

Got a good deal (Insider) from Agoda.

Thanks a lot.

Very good hotel near everywhere. Yes, they are strict about registering visiting guests, but this is not bad.

I haven't heard the Wave Hotel mentioned often in this forum, but I had a great stay here recently and fully recommend it. It's *not* a budget option, but it's a very new, very clean boutique hotel with great service. It's guest-friendly, directly overlooks the beach, and is about a 10 min walk to WS.

I've considered Wave but it's just overpriced. I can stay at a comparable hotel like Page 10 and get a nice gogo girl for the night for the same price.

I think Agoda's vagaries have been commented on before but I think I'm going to have to stop using [URL]agoda.com[/URL] to book my Pattaya and Bangkok stays. No confirmation page, no confirmation email and, when I go to 'manage my bookings' there's nothing there at all. Yet I know I handed my credit card details over and got a brief message saying it was booked. Who knows if I'll have a room when I get there? Then after two hours I get an email saying they don't know what I'm talking about. But I bet I get charged, as usual.

My usual habit for these things is to open two windows and hunt down the same rooms via Bookings and agoda, then go with the cheapest. But with their hidden fees and now, just lately, this complete lack of feedback, it's [URL]Booking.com[/URL] only for me for now on. Or maybe I'll just turn up.

Anyone else noticed this decline with agoda or are they just picking on me?

You get an instant confirmation email, and your booking always shows up in your account on their website. And should you need to cancel a reservation they also confirm instantly. But more importantly, IMHO, is that they show you the TOTAL price upfront. Agoda quotes their prices minus the taxes and service charges so that you think their price is lower. It's a lousy way to do business. Booking includes the 10% and 7% addons in their quote.

And Agoda almost always charges you upfront, while Booking almost always lets you pay directly to the hotel when you check out. When they've got your money they've also got you by the balls.

I only used Agoda once, and I had to prepay for a 28 night stay in Patts. When I arrived at the hotel at 02:30 after traveling for 31 hours from the US they had no record of my reservation. I had to call Agoda on my cell phone at $2. 99 per minute to try to sort this out. That call cost me almost 100 USD, and while they finally found the reservation they refused to reimburse me for the call. They didn't even apologize for the error. How arrogant is that?

I've used Booking at least 20 times without a single hiccup.
