Pattaya Hotels

I have an update regarding VTSix booking procedures on [URL]Booking.com[/URL]. I previously had received [URL]Booking.com[/URL] note asking to call to find out about key collection procedures. I e-mailed them using Booking's e-mail delivery system (all e-mails go through Booking). I got a fairly prompt reply as follows.

[QUOTE]"For check-in, we have reception-cum-lobby; open 24-hours. Its in the front, as you will enter the Building, the very first reception-cum-lobby, you need to check-in."[/QUOTE]So, this seems fine then. I'm assuming front is second road entrance - 2nd floor I assume?

I think I've almost decided to stay at VT6 using these guys. For an extra $140 I can upgrade to high floor sea view studio. Thinking about that. On the one hand, I'm worried about getting some partial sea view and not getting anything out of the extra funds. On the other hand, I feel "go enjoy that view before they build towers in front of it. ".

Does anybody think Intimate Hotel may be a better choice given: I like central location, wifi, breakfast, nice rooms / building, low noise, and no-smoking? Both options have almost same price but for $40 difference (in total for a week). Standard studio at VT6 vs deluxe room at Intimate.

Sea view facing Pattaya sign or bust at VT6. This will not be an option in the future. If you don't get a sea view you can stay at any other hotel.

The nearby Apex Hotel and Lek Hotel have breakfast buffets for 150 Baht. And if you buy 10 coupons at once it's only 110 Baht per breakfast. So it might be cheaper to book a room without breakfast.

Me and 4 of my friends are taking a trip to Pattaya May 11-18. We are looking for a good place to stay. Somewhere close to all the action, and that allow "guest". We would like to get a place with multiply bedrooms where we can all a stay in one house. Do you all have any suggestions, or places I can look?

Was a nice hotel 'chain' with 2 pools and three seperate buildings, close to the action of LK Metro. Getting a girl into the hotel was a breeze, no issues raised at the front desks. Rooms were nice but I found most of the poolside users to be in the senior citizens age range. Ruins the mood when the lady sitting next to you is telling her 80 something husband that she can't carry her air mattress back to the room and then the conversation turns to their friend who lost his shoes. In the heart of pussyland and there's so many old folks on oxygen. I won't stay here again although the location was pretty good.

Only asking as I may be able to make suggestions.

Hey,

We are three friends reaching Pattaya on 24 of this month, We were looking for a Hotel close to the action, Good Wifi and Guest Friendly rooms. Have shortlisted Beach front, Ayya and Intimate hotel.

Any Suggestions / advice on which would be the better of the three. I did stay in the beach front last time I was in Patts. Decent rooms awesome view but. Oh BTW I am from Asia which of these three would be more welcoming to me?

I am planning to be in Pattaya for 15 days in August. I would be coming alone. August is supposed to be low season for hotel booking and hotels seems to offer great discount during this time. I want to know, whether booking hotel now for August is better or should I wait till July end to avail discounts?

Seriously though, remember hotels are guest friendly only if your a single guy staying in a room booked for two people. If you book two people into a two person room, then hotels will charge extra for each guest you bring back to the room.

Hey,

We have finally zeroed in on The Sun Xclusive. What is the distance of the hotel from Walking street and is this hotel Guest Friendly.

Any pointers.

Any pointers.[/QUOTE]Can I ask how you 'zeroed' in on Sun Xclusive? If you have indeed 'zeroed' in on this hotel, surely you would have checked on the guest-friendliness policy of the hotel and its distance from Walking Street. Or did you just throw a dart on the map?

Anyway, addressing your questions, the hotel appears to be a short distance from Walking Street. 8 minutes according to Google Maps (heard of this?

All hotels in Pattaya are guest friendly and this has been repeated on this thread several times over.

Read some reviews of this hotel on popular hotel booking sites, they are not very encouraging.

The hotel prices do not vary much from May until the end of October. Personally, I stay about 3 x as long and have not had a problem at getting a good rate. I also speak Thai which allows me to "go native" as it were. REMEMBER. That time frame is at the height of the rainy season.
