Pattaya Hotels

[QUOTE=Mogwai;2930020]I'm considering to book the Altera Hotel for my upcoming trip. It gets rather good reviews on Tripadvisor, but there are no recent reviews mentioning the wifi. Is it fast and steady?
I have to do some work during my holiday, so I need good wifi. Alternatively I can use the bluetooth tethering of my phone to connect to, but that didn't work very well last time I was in Thailand (April).[/QUOTE]I stayed there for two nights recently.

The first night they upgraded me to a suite room in their second building. I thought the room was very good with a good wifi too.

I extended for another night and moved to a standard room very close to the suite. I wouldn't recommend to stay in that type of room, wifi was not very good in that room.

If wifi is very important, Blackwoods looked way better in my experience.

Thanks Paolo99. The suite was exactly what I had in mind.
Blackwoods is in a very noisy location, which I don't like. I'm not a night owl.

And thanks to HorseTrader and XXL as well.

[QUOTE=XXL;2929180]Are LK doing renovations? I booked 2 weeks there in September. I'd rather be spared renovation noise.

By the way is Somerset's pool deep enough? I mean shoulder-deep? Or is it an "infinity" pool like in most high-rise hotels?[/QUOTE]Somerset pool is about 1. 8 m deep only. The usual token infinity pool. Overall not bad. But I think its quite open for the 24th floor. WINDY!

LK renovations not that major. But for some reason there is stench. Like water / sewage leaks and a dampness in the room. Stayed there once. Loved it. Next stay I had to leave. So 50-50.

[B]Viva Luv Motel[/B]

Arrived via Bolt. Was met by the attendant. The attendant advised 300 THB for short time (3 hours) 700 THB Long Time (all night). I paid cash. No ID needed. The attendant assigned me a room. My girls arrived and came upstairs. Was advised that they were stopped by the attendant and told that because of my extra guest. I had to pay an additional 150 THB (that is some bullshit)! So, I told her to get an extra towel.

[U]Room[/U]

Is clean, big, but you cannot control the air conditioner and I found it to be hotter than I am comfortable with. Lights, minor control unimpressive. Bed fine, little soft for me but I won't be sleeping in it. Pillow ok. Real towels. Bathroom: hot water available with average pressure. Mobile shower head is more like the rain type than shower massage. Bathroom is big. Television was tiny.

[U]Impressions[/U]

I actually like the short term hotel close my princesses standing under the palm trees on [B]Beach Road[/B] much better (don't start mother fuckers and you know who you are). Because Viva is short on mirrors and I love that shit. I felt the uncharge for my additional guest was a straight jack (450 total for Short Time) and did not appreciate it. Nor do I think it is a good value. I do not know if there is an extra charge at the short time hotel but I will investigate it.

My girls enjoyed me so much that they have scheduled a all nighter with me and I'm going to get a real hotel for that. It will actually be a better value. Closer to other venues so we can entertain ourselves when not in the room. You can get rooms for 650 THB that have full size refrigerators.

I enjoy the place so does my regular. The extra charge is be. S. I've never paid for a guest and I've been there at time of paying with the girl or waited.

I use Love Inn, location where the set of GC are located, 275, but the place is dark for my test, also on Soi Honey is a small service apartment place called Star Inn, it is close to the King Kong burger rooms are small, available for ST, if rooms not full. Note a real small place but nice in my opinion. In Walking Street, you can try the ST room next to Palace, or Soi 15, Tony's also has rooms.

[QUOTE=SubCmdr;2933797]Are you saying the attendant ripped me off by charging me extra for two girls?[/QUOTE]From your post, there was a joiner fee of 150 baht for the second girl. Not unusual.

[QUOTE=Explorer8939;2933879]From your post, there was a joiner fee of 150 baht for the second girl. Not unusual.[/QUOTE][B]That is fucked up[/B] Ok, if it is a legit fee. I did not know. But I just paid. Was not going to let 150 THB stand in the way of my my threesome. It was straight off the chain! Should I write it up?

[B]That 150 THB joiner fee is a straight up JACK![/B] I would rather pay 650 THB and get a room for the entire night. Only negative to that is that check in usually after 2 PM in regular hotels. A love motel is good for anytime of the day or night.

But I am going take the time to say that I was only reporting on my experiences and was not intending to gore anyone ox who likes to get their fuck on up in [B]Viva[/B]. But the owners could take lessons from the cabana owners in the Dominican Republic. Because Viva in the Dominican Republic would be considered bargin basement compared to just the average Cabana room in the Dominican Republic.

You can hit the cabanas known to be more upscale or just an upscale room with 80" TVs, jacuzzis and two story rooms, specially designed sex furniture, BDSM equipment, music. Food delivery from local restaurants. It is a completely different experience other than just the bed, toilet and shower that the Viva provides. But it seems they have somewhat of a monopoly so it is a cash cow that the owners are just milking.

Which one would you recommend between Grand Ave & VT6?

Things I am looking for are a king size bed, fast / reliable WiFi, gym access and a usable kitchen. (a nice sofa / couch is nice too for the action).

The last time I was in Pattaya, I rented at Edge. It was nice and I posted a report [URL=http://www.internationalsexguide.nl/forum/showthread.php?1875-Pattaya-Hotels&p=2872146#post2872146]here[/URL] but in retrospect, the rooms are small and only a queen bed.

I am also considering Base but read here that WiFi is slow not dedicated?) and water pressure in the shower may be slow.

[QUOTE=HornyForker;2937053]Which one would you recommend between Grand Ave & VT6? [/QUOTE]I have not stayed at Grand Ave. [B]View Talay 6 is the spot[/B] I would pick if I ever needed longer term vacation accommodations.

[QUOTE=HornyForker;2937053]Things I am looking for are a king size bed, [/QUOTE]Yes, King size bed with mirrors. Oh hell yeah the mirrors!

[QUOTE=HornyForker;2937053]fast / reliable WiFi, [/QUOTE]No complaints about the WiFi.

[QUOTE=HornyForker;2937053]gym access[/QUOTE]Went to Sun Fitness and still do. It is short walk right off Soi Buakhao.

[QUOTE=HornyForker;2937053] a usable kitchen.[/QUOTE]Outstanding.

[QUOTE=HornyForker;2937053](a nice sofa / couch is nice too for the action).[/QUOTE]Yes, quite comfortable.

Make sure you choose the deluxe cleaning package if you book through dance watchers. Cleaning crew in your room six days a week and complete change of bedding they will wash your dishes. My last stay was a year ago. But I have two friends staying there now. They both get the same rooms every visit if possible. Been hanging out in both their rooms and they are simply outstanding in my opinion. Plus get a beach view, cannot be beat.

Like the Edge and the Base, Grand Avenue and VT6 are condos primarily owned by individual owners. Yes, they may be rented out by a property manager but things like WIFI, furniture, things in the kitchen depend on what the individual owner has bought for his unit. If this matters at all Grand Avenue is only around 5 years old and 20+ years newer than VT6.

But if you rent the units that are part of the DanceWatchers organization in [B]View Talay 6[/B] things are different. I know the owner personally. He has standards that are requirements for upgrades of the rooms that the organization manages. So, if an owner will not meet the standards of the organization their unit will be dropped from the management program. I cannot vouch for the rooms rented by other room managers.

No statement about "VT 6" as a whole can be valid. There's no "VT 6" as there is, for instance, "Hotel Areca Lodge". Condos in VT6 are privately owned and go from rund-down to freshly renovated. I'm done with VT6. Wherever you rent, there will always be renovation work going on below, above, or next to your unit. I also resented spending so much time in the elevators or waiting for the elevators. The 3 elevators can no longer cope with the influx. The unrentable units in the lower floors on the Hilton side are occupied by laundry shops. Laundry women returning laundry add to the elevator misery.

One girl who visited me at VT6 told me The Edge was infinitely better but I cannot confirm this.

Property owners in Pattaya should have availed themselves of Covid to upgrade, instead they did nothing. Now they renovate drip-drop hoping guests will not mind. The result is facilities getting increasingly run-down and guests plagued by noise all the same.

On a side note, one thing I find irksome in Pattaya as a whole is designers/owners nearly always contriving to have either no mirror in the bedroom, or a mirror offset from the bed so as to be no good for sex.

Like the location of Vt 3 A, guess many of the comments that applies to Vt 6 also applies to Vt 3, is there anybody that has specific expirience with Vt 3?

Cheers.

Be.

[B]EDGE[/B]: was the keyword I used. Took the search function 20.53 seconds to find the posts below. That is how I use the search function. Takes seconds not hours. Try it out sometime for yourselves.

[QUOTE=HornyForker;2872146]I recently stayed in EDGE condos central Pattaya. Quite convenient for play. Easy to bring in SPs no questions asked by the guards at the gate. The rooms themselves are quite small and in my opinion only good for short term stay (1 to 2 weeks). Otherwise a good comfy bed, I wish it had a side mirror to see yourselves in action!

The apartments have all the typical facilities and I got a high floor unit which ensured a nice peaceful time free from road nice. Location is good too. I booked mine thru Air BnB. Not sure if there are better deals booking directly through the condo manager but I got a decent rate since the high season had not kicked in full gear yet m during my stay: November 18-25.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Jim2288;2858289]Stayed 3 nights at Edge Central Condo.

Cost: About $200 for all three nights.

Booked on Agoda. My friend booked a slightly smaller room for about $160 for three nights on AirBnB.

Check-in process was unclear but easy when I got there. Got there and a lady met me by the taxi (used Nam's Taxi, highly recommend). She tried to upsell me on a slightly larger room for 3,000 baht more, but I wasn't interested. Walked me to the mailbox behind the reception area and got the key out of an unlocked mailbox. Had me add her on WhatsApp, she sent me some information, and then I was off to take a shower and (10 minutes later) meet my first TF girl.

Bringing Girls: No issues. Nobody is around at night to ask for ID's or anything at night. Most I brought back was 2, but could've brought a stable if I wanted to. Rooms are too small for 4+ people. One TF girl that came during the day said she had to leave her ID at the security gate by the road, but none of the other girls ever pulled out ID's for anything. We just walked in.

Pool: I said I wouldn't get in the pool but I ended up checking it out. It's pretty cool to look out over the city in that pool. Kinda scary too. Not worth hanging out there though cause there's no food or drinks allowed.

Would definitely stay there again. The location is excellent. Close to the LK metro bars and walking distance to Walking Street & Soi 6.[/QUOTE]
