Sorry LG, I did not wanted to seem rude in the other section.
I'm staying at the Nova Express, 4 "thai" stars, currently $28 per night on Expedia. Very happy about it and location is great if you have a bike but even without it, is maybe 50 Bt. Motorbike taxi from anywhere. No hassle or issues of any sort.
[QUOTE=LoverG;2032584]Does LK metropole has any restrictions on the lady guests?[/QUOTE]No. My girl of the night just walked in with me. Good or bad they don't even ask for ID or call your room when the girl leaves. I've never brought more than 1 girl at a time to that hotel so not sure if 3-4 girls would be ok.
Anyone happen to know whether this one is GF? I'm needing to get something in Patong (I'd prefer something closer to the agogo action, but this looks like a lovely property to chill at).
Thanks.

I didn't had a girl with me but you can play cool reserving for two and not move from your rights, or call and ask in advance.

I just spent my first of two nights, and your assessment is spot-on. Posted a review in Phuket hotel thread. Many thanks!
I stayed at this hotel February. Yes it is over the hill in Jomtien but 10 min Baht Bus is not bad and if there is desire for lower key, this is a great community- in the Jomtien Complex it is in the heart of the Gay district but it is only flamboyant after 8:00 or so, the hotel of about 60 rooms is newly remodeled- physically would be rated 4+ in US terms, price about 1500 Bt including breakfast for 2. Breakfast was a 5+ breakfast with high high quality. Rooms with big beds, two pools, guest friendly- both male and female, good staff but as at many english is not great- close to beach, baht bus, multiple bars, restaurants, markets. Would recommend highly, and I will rebook for next trip.
Stayed for a few nights at this hotel. Booked a slightly larger room and it was fine. Bed was very large and room was also large. Bathroom was tight and showing age. However the hotel was girl friendly and I saw many mongers late at night bringing back their catch.
Staff not overly helpful but not rude either. Only in the hotel to play and sleep so it did not bother me much.
Overall the hotel is on walking street next to Mixx nightclub making it easy to walk your catch back early in the morning.
Would recommend this one but get a larger room.
Happy Hunting.
Just a few blocks from Soi6 down a side road. Nice and very reasonably priced, good sized rooms with a king sized bed, balcony if you're a smoker. Very girl friendly. They take the girl ID when you arrive and give you a call when the girl leaves to make sure everything is OK. Its a 10 min motobike taxi ride from walking street.
Is Ibis Hotel girl friendly?? I have stayed there but never taken a lady back and never saw much of a bargirl scene, it was all families and there was a plaque on the reception desk that said something about not supporting "[url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord908][CodeWord908][/url]. " I'm guessing they aren't girl friendly, but wouldn't be surprised if they do allow girls back in the room.

Very good hotel, haven't been able to book it (other than 1 time) since because they rarely have near-same day vacancies. Decent memories there, and the mammaries weren't too bad either.

I've read other great reviews of the place elsewhere, touting it as an excellent mid-range budget option, offering extra value for the money. When the word gets out about a good deal, this is what happens. Based on my past experience in the lodging industry, the logical nextstep is that they will raise prices until reservations drop off. That's known as "inventory management" in the lodging industry.

Happy Hunting.[/QUOTE]Stayed here as well recently and want to add: if you get the biggest suites that they have (which I did) they are literally on the front of WS so it's boomboomboom in your room with bass / music coming from the streets and also in the morning lots of noise from lots of sources. So it's not the best for those that want to sleep early or sleep in longer in mornings. I also thought the rooms showed some age and for the price it def. Wasn't the best value. Def girl friendly tho altho if you come In late you can count on it that you need to register her. In the morning it's a long walk then to the other part of the resort where a security guy will return her ID. They aren't kept at the central reception. Bit awkward always there but he can order a motorbike for the girl there at least.
Location wise of course the best for WS! All on your doorstep.
Based on my past experiences, I don't like noise, I go to bed early for Pattaya and so book a hotel far from Walking Street. Add 2 or 300 baht for taxi from WS as girls won't want to wait for ubers, but the hotels are usually cheaper anyway.
Hi Guys!
Am heading over there in August for some fun. Would like some recommendation of hotels that is walking distance to the agogo bars / etc. Will be concentrating on South Pattaya.
Thanks.

Always a 1-3 minute walk from Second Road. When I take my girl back to the hotel, we walk to Second Road from Walking Street and take the baht bus to the hotel for a total of 20 baht. I would never take a moto taxi. I'm too big, too old, and too afraid.
