Pattaya Hotels

Hi guys,

I am interested in VT6 for a week stay in August.

Just wanted to check are these need to booked oblong only or they have the same prices for walk-in also.

Can anybody suggest for walk-in?

In any case, it was my experience that the nice units go quickly and you better book beforehand.

As someone who has booked with both Dancewatchers and Honey's coffee shop I would not be a 'walk in'. You might go to each of their web sites and look at the dates you might 'walk in' and see what is available at the time you look.

I'm considering using Dancewatchers. Do they provide any free maid service or do you have to book through Tik? Other VT6 rental companies provide free maid service every 1-3 days, depending on which company.

There are several other rental mgmt companies at VT 6. I only know Dancewatchers though.

And, no maid service I'd additional. They only provide maid service Monday. Friday. The package I originally chose only had sheets changed once a week. Upon arrival when I discovered that I upgraded yo having sheets and comforters changed every other day, with a larger supply of fresh towels on Friday to last me over the weekend. I think exact prices vary and are based on how many days you are renting. I was renting for 16 nights and frankly I don't remember the exact price because I thought it was inconsequential. YMMV.

Note though that laundry is not included and they would not take it down for me to one of two laundry companies on the 3RD floor (I used the one by the elevator and a weeks worth of laundry was about 500 baht. I also rented a local Samsung basic Thai phone for 500 baht for the 16 nights, as I did not want to deal with getting a SIM and putting money on it etc. So it came all done and I just needed to know the number.

Everything has been as advertised so far and I am very happy.

I have finalized Jasmine hotel for 5 nights. This will be my first stay over there. Any feedback on this hotel.

VT 6 is going out of budget.

Greetings, Wonder if anyone has stayed at either of these higher-end properties recently, and am soliciting advice. Assume any place in Patts is GF (though these places seem to be more "family friendly", I won't be availing myself of the breakfast buffet, so no walk of shame that way. Alternately, if anyone has a suggestion for something closer to the action in the same category, that'd be great. Only saw a 2012 reference to the Centara Grand, then called a new hotel. Many thanks,

Many thanks,[/QUOTE]Dusithani is certainly not where the action is. I don't mean it is far, maybe a short baht bus ride, but the walk for the lobby to the roundabout is already a bit of walk, nothing dramatic, but add here and there. I don't see it as a mongering hotel from a location POV.

Many thanks,[/QUOTE]WildHawk have you been to Pattaya before? The Centara is near Nakula which is not convenient for a first time Pattaya mongering trip. I have read the Dusit is one of the few hotels in Pattaya that is not girl friendly. It would be hard to make a recommendation without knowing your budget. If you are looking for something right on the beach check the Hilton, Wave, LK The Empress, and View Talay 6 if you want a condo. I just booked Hotel Baraquda which is allegedly a 5 star Sofitel branded place. Excellent 2nd Road/Soi 13 location. I may switch over to VT6 if I decide I need the ocean view.

Many thanks,[/QUOTE]Yep, Barraquda Hotel rocks! I've been there one month ago. Ask for a room with jacuzzi. You may enjoy it with 4 parties inside (I tried and was fun). You can even call the hotel at 2 am and ask them to fill in the jacuzzi with water (it takes time).

When I arrived 30 mn later, a groom was standing in front of the opened door, watching for both the jacuzzi and us arriving. Wow! That's service!

See my previous msg one month ago about it with a link to pictures of the room.

See my previous msg one month ago about it with a link to pictures of the room.[/QUOTE]Appreciate the advice, and warning about Dusit Thani. I'm not a first-timer, and I absolutely wouldn't want non-GF. Actually got a bit of hassling at the Hard Rock a few years back, even though I booked a double and they attempted to extract a joiner fee. With Dusit and Centara, I'm aware that the location far north is not ideal, but I have stayed in further-flung places like Jomtien, so I am aware of the transit issue and assume those are quite a ways off the baht bus route. So. Baraquda looks like it might fit the bill. It's on Agoda with availability in October (when I'll be there) at about USD 87 with no cancellation penalty (no breakfast; the upcharge to the next level with that king room is ridiculous, unless someone could advise that the food is scrumptious). The Sofitel website itself has got the hotel at $377, nonrefundable and no breakfast. Insane. Perhaps the Thai business model has infected corporate HQ in Payree. Cheers -- and thanks again.

I've always kept the Baraquda Pattaya in the back of my mind if I didn't have a nice place one night and needed a very nice hotel for a special girl. Anything with the Sofitel label has to be first class.

Just walk out the hotel door and you can hail a baht bus. Centara is further away.

I just booked the Baraquda for B3100++ including breakfast. Arriving in about 10 days. I could get Baraquda and an ocean view room at LK Empress for the same price. The Ocean view room didn't have a balcony. I love the ocean view but without a balcony I picked the Quda. May try VT6 for a few days also.
