Pattaya Hotels

[QUOTE=RockHound74;2143434]LOL. I loved the video chat issue. I can relate. Same issue here, the SO wanted to video chat while I stayed there and I scrambled to act like my video wasn't working. No can stay there due to that and it was really only good for a fun party night with a girl that you want to just fuck using all of the room amenities. Not a place to spend the night in my opinion.

[QUOTE=RobJones;2143029]Hi All.

We returned about 10 days ago from Pattaya and stayed at the Penthouse hotel. Overall it was what we expected and you couldn't get a better location regarding Walking Street and the proximity to the Baht Buses was great. Starting to plan our next adventure and would like to stay somewhere different but not wanting to waste time and energy walking from walking street with our girls can anyone tell me how late the Baht Buses run? I should have noticed but checking out buses at 2 to 4 am wasn't exactly on top of my agenda.

The only reason I don't want to repeat at the Penthouse is that my wife wanted to video call and when I'm supposedly away on business I don't think the thecor of the Penthouse would amuse her!

Thanks in advance.

Can say you're meeting a colleague for a drink or just wanted to eat there.

[QUOTE=Admin2;2138206]I think Page 10 is probably a good hotel and I had a really bad run of luck there. It looks like a nice hotel, the people who work there are nice.

Here was a run down of my problems.

Internet down for more than 20 hours, I was able to get what I needed done using my phone as a hotspot but that's a pain.

The A / C temp wouldn't go up. It blew exactly the same temp air when set to 18 as it did when set to 25, it was either too warm or freezing in the room.

I'm not a drunkard, I wanted to go to bed at 12. Those clubs across the alley are LOUD, sleep was impossible. I think somebody that hits the town partying wouldn't be affected by this because they would get to the room after the clubs closed. I had to stay up past 2 (for the troll that likes to snark everybodies posts on this thread I didn't get up and go out because I didn't want to. I was tired and wanted to go to bed).

The king sized bed was two single beds shoved together, that's a pet peeve of mine.

When I couldn't sleep I thought I would take a bath, the stopper in the tub was broke it wouldn't fill up.

The shower had a big rain shower head and a wand. The big rain thing didn't work.

There was somebody else's hair in the sink.

There was some issue with the plumbing. Whenever somebody flushed their toilet or used the shower the noise coming out of my shower drain was enough to wake me up (for that troll, I'm not a light sleeper, it was really fucking loud).

When I went to the front desk at 3 am to beg to have my room changed the guy at the front desk laughed at me. Maybe it was one of those laughter to cover the shame things but it really pissed me the fuck off at 3 am when I couldn't sleep.

I think that was everything.

This hotel was recommended to me by a guy who travels a lot and knows Pattaya, I really think it was my turn to have everything turn to shit and that most people would be ok there.

Yes, the desk at the Tweet place was clear about the age thing, I asked what age needs to be on the ID because I don't do Buddha dates and she was nice enough to write it for me.[/QUOTE]I stayed once at Page 10 and had similar incidents. I never stayed there again, many nicer hotels on Soy 10.

Hey fellas,

New to the site, but I'd like to thank everyone for the great info I've come across so far!

Planning my 1st trip to Pattaya and wondering what your opinions are about Areca Lodge Vs. Siam at Siam Hotel?

Areca seems like a safe choice because of the location, but Siam at Siam is nice as hell and so damn close to Soi 6 LOL.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

J. Smooth.

I stayed at Zing hotel, a really VFM hotel with very friendly personal. I also didn't have any problems with bringing girls in my room.

.[/QUOTE]I wouldn't recommend Areca Lodge in terms of location, stayed there once and never again. You leave your room with the idea of going somewhere and find it takes ten minutes just to get off the hotel grounds. Then its another good walk to get to a baht bus. Great location if you plan on taking girls from LK metro or spend your days at one of their three swimming pools.

On two occasions, I had problems in Pattaya for bringing in more than one guest (girl) to my room without additional joiner fee for the 3rd guest (2nd girl). I was alone but had the rooms booked for two guests, as always. Only at Penthouse, I was able to bring in two girls at my room at the same time without any additional charge. Having bitter experiences from the two occasions (one being Aya Boutique, other I don't recollect the hotel name exactly) I never tried this to other hotels except Penthouse.

Any suggestions from fellow mongers about hotels at the beach road or even at the second road, who would not mind a 3rd guest (two girls at the same time) joining at the room. I read through the last 5 pages but did not quite get the answer. Would appreciate your help in switching form age-old Penthouse to any new places for my next trip coming end of this month.

Cheers, TFE.

There are often many questions about bringing 2 girls to a room. Have you guys tried booking rooms with 3 guests rather than 2? I'm certain not every hotel will have an added fee booking for 3 rather than 2 persons. Or is it hotels are still stopping you guys from bringing 2 girls at once even if you book rooms for 3 people?

My work around is to stay at LK empress and use the family Mart entrance to bypass the front desk.

I liked the location because it was right off Beach Rd and I pulled some girls off there and was in the room in less than 5 minutes. Its also cheap but reasonably comfortable in the superior rooms.

My quick report:

- Best Beach Villa on Soi 4 or Soi 5 - good clean hotel, good rooms. I like it there. No problems at all. There was a big construction yard oposite to the hotel but there was no loud noise during my stay. Bring a freelancer there, no joiner fees. I met her in the lobby, she just leave her ID on the reception.

- LK Metropole. Again good hotel, very nice rooms. No problems at all, everything was good. Bring another freelancer, she came directly to my room. I did not pay extra to the hotel for the visiting girl.

I'm planning my next trip to Pattaya and this time I want something between Soi 7 and Soi 13. Looking at the map at agoda I found LK Mansion which is a little bit outside of my searching area but what caught my eye was the price. Its ridiculous cheap and at the same time the photos of the rooms looks not bad. Have any of you ever stay there? And is it a noisy place because I see its next to the main road?

Same question about Eastiny Residence Hotel. Very good location, very low price. For that price it must be a very low end hotel if you compare what you pay for the other hotels in the region? But at the same time I read good reviews on booking and agoda, the rooms seems normal (a little bit low end but for that price are more than ok).

I am wondering why these two hotels have so low price and is there a catch.

Edit: Now I read about Eastiny complains about bad wi-fi, sometimes no hot water, some strange sewage problem but that my be accidental.
