Pattaya Hotels

[QUOTE=HarryFiver;1962182]Does anybody have experience here? How's the place? Is it girl friendly?[/QUOTE]It's GF if you book and pay the double occupancy rate.

I've never stayed there, but others on this forum have noted that the Hard Rock is marketed toward families and group tours. The front desk / staff can make it uncomfortable for you and your GF guest if you're not discrete. A THB 1,200 "surprise" might be on your bill even if you paid the double occupancy rate so be prepared to fight the charge.

[QUOTE]Guest Friendly policy reply by the Hard Rock Hotel Pattaya: Rocking greeting from the most happening hotel in Pattaya, if the guest booked his/her reservation under double occupancy rate, but staying as a single use during stay. The hotel honorably waive charge 01 joiner for the first person during the night; if the guests bring visitors more than 01 person, the hotel honorably waive charges only for the first person, and the others are chargeable at THB 1,200 net/person.[/QUOTE]

Hard Rock Hotel is guest friendly. But if someone has any difficulty bringing in guests in this hotel, there are so many other hotels of same or even better quality which will allow guests. So why worry?

Has anyone stayed at Baywalk Residence hotel? The locatio is close to walking street. I am considering this hotel for my next trip to Pattaya.

Can't comment on breakfast since I never woke up on time. Location is one of the best for a decent hotel near WS. The more expensive room with the large sofa is much bigger and a better stay with the girls. Staff is good. Corridors can be a bit dark at night depending where your room is. Compare it to Aya Hotel and take the one which is cheaper.

And last week just booked again for (a too short) 6 nights for February on agoda / priceline!

Breakfast is up on the roof with nice views and the food is average. Not bad and it exceeded my expectations for the cost. However this time I decided not to get the breakfast included in the reservation.

There was an issue with ants in my room but the staff handled it quickly and the problem never came back. For my short stay I had, the 'night' staff barely looked up from the desk when I came home with a girl-- so they never collected an ID. Not sure if one would describe that as good service or bad service. Things may have changed since.

Has a surprisingly decent gym which I used a few times if exercise is part of your routine:).

[QUOTE=BananaBoi;1963763]Soi 6 is not the greatest area. What comes to mind would be Centric Sea condo and Siam@Siam Design hotel. Soi 2 is a 5 minute walk from soi 6 and a better area, closer to the soapies.

Not sure if you have been to Pattaya before. Both Tsix5 Hotel in Naklua and Trio hotel are no where close (I would actually consider them far) to Soi 6 and not easily accessible without a motorbike. stay along the baht bus route like the rest of us. Wave hotel or Baraquda hotel will be close to 5 star quality.[/QUOTE]Hi, Thanks again for the suggestions.

Looks like I am just finalising my air travel and can now go ahead and book hotel.

As mentioned, I am looking for something not too far from soi 6 with good wifi and preferably a pool and of course G / F.

The hotels I am now looking at are.

Amari garden pattaya.

Bayview hotel pattaya.

Aya boutique hotel pattaya.

Just wondering if anyone could confirm if these meet the criteria.

Thanking you all in advance.

JJ.

All the hotels that you have shortlisted are GF. They have a pool and good WiFi but none are near to Soi 6. Amari Garden Hotel is near Soi 1 at the entrance of Beach Road. Bayview Hotel is near Soi 10 whereas Aya Boutique Hotel is near Soi 13. If walking is not issue then you can reach these hotels by foot. You can still hire a motorbike or use the Baht bus.

However, I would suggest Pattaya Discovery Beach Hotel, a little expensive but nearer to Soi 6. Now, it's up to you.

Have finally gone for Siam at Siam. Will be there 8-12th December if anyone is around and fancies meeting up for beer.

JJ.

Siam at Siam Design Hotel is a very good hotel though more expensive than the hotels you had shortlisted. Of course, I didn't know your budget for accommodation. All the best and enjoy Pattaya.

Hi,

My favorite Barakuda is sold out for 27-30th Dec. Can you guys suggest equivalent hotel for 100 bucks for night.

I am so disappointed with high season in Pattaya. Not sure if it's worth the visit this time.

I just got back from two weeks in Thailand I can recommend Pattaya Blue Sky on Soi 5 halfway between Beach Rd. And 2Rd. Easy walk make left 2nd Road right Beach Road. Baht bus gets you any where you want. Nice rooms pool on roof great Ac Nice breakfast OK wifi.

From Christmas to New Year is a very busy period because of high inflow of tourists. It's advisable to book a room through the online booking sites to be sure to have a room. The distance is not a problem as you can reach anywhere by foot, bike or Baht bus.

I wandered through the hotel a few months ago but did not stay there. The hotel is further north on Second Road but baht busses are easy to catch there. There are less monger guests and more tourists at Siam but that should not be a problem. I didn't inquire if the hotel was guest friendly.

SamWise1 are you concerned about not liking Pattaya during high season because your favorite hotel is booked? Worried about crowds? I am curious why you feel visiting in high season may not be worth it.

The girls have to leave ID at concierge and you have to sign a paper that hotel doesn't take any responsibility if your gurst does harm you, but that's all. Even 2 girls were no problem.

I posted a full a full review with pics about this hotel in a forum with pattaya addicts.
