Web Sites of Pattaya Hotels
Here's a list of some Pattaya hotel website links. It's a very eclectic list ad by no means exhaustive. There are dozens and dozens more - hundreds probably if you include no-name guest houses and rooms above bars. Prices start at 500 baht on the low end. I haven't stayed in many of them, but I have visited almost all of them and seen the rooms. My reaction ranged from "Nice" through "OK" to "UGH!" As always, YMMV. Check out the Websites if you want more info. Every one of these hotels has its supporters and detractors. All to my knowledge are guest-friendly but all may not be monger-friendly to the extreme. I'm not making recommendations, just supplying information.
I have excluded the big international chain hotels because info on them is widely available elsewhere.

This place is owned by a colorful character, much hated by many "experienced" Pattaya residents, which by itself makes him a good guy in my eyes. In any case, the Rockhouse rooms are good value for the money.

You can't be easily upset by heavy partying in these hotels, definitely for the broad-minded. Secrets Hotel is probably the closet to a traditional hotel, but definitely a mongers' hangout.

Need a recommendation for a hotel
Looking for a hotel in the ~1000B range that has the following:
- Needs to be located close to the beer bar action - Soi 7-8 area
- Should have a safe in the room
- Good large beds and decent bathrooms
- Good hot western breakfast in the coffeeshop
I have read through a lot but cant seem to make up my mind. Thanks in advance.
Pattaya hotel recommendation
Silver Sand Hotel, Jomtien beachfront, nr to Soi 7.
Decent budget rooms from 800B, albeit slightly soft beds & no elevator. Fine once you remember to set the aircon properly (default is just a fan). Very 'open' foyer, and totally GF-friendly. Quick 100B / 5min taxi around the corner to Pattaya; I find Jomtien a bit quieter, alhough still plenty of bars/MP. Seems very popular with Norwegian/Danish farang boyfriends. Also lots of ladyboys (but very friendly & relaxed), so watch out for beer-goggles! Plenty of girls too, but more choice (and higher scoring) in Pattaya.
Reviews: METRO and Robin's Nest
was in pattaya recently and would like to highly recommend metro apartments to any budget-conscious travelers.
pros: rooms very clean and good size, shower and air cond work well, great sports bar downstairs, friendly staff (especially na) and a great host in dennis, the owner. him and his staff really get to know you and make sure everything is ok. everything you could want really from a budget place to stay. i like the location on lkmetro, just off soi diana (close to areca lodge), surrounded by other bars, hell, [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord900][CodeWord900][/url],couple of gogo's.
cons: although listed as pro above, being surrounded by so many other 'entertainment' venues makes it impossible fora single guy to walk to/from metro in peace. some of you may also want to be closer to beach rd / walking st but i liked the walk (15 min to beach).
cost: around 600b per night
summary: outstanding value. would definitely be back. book well in advance as it fills up quickly.
also stayed couple of days at robin's nest:
pros: super clean. management really do pay attention to this detail. constant cleaning isin evidence. nice open plan restaurant at street level.
cons: although only 100 yards from metro, this place is noisy! both from the surrounding beer bars (loud music and constant cries of hellooooo, wellcuuuuum hansum man) and because the walls are thin so noise from other rooms travels easily. another main downside is that the beds (i mean mattress) seem old and are very uncomfortable.
cost: 550 b
summary: the stuff i wrote about really put me off this place, but i feel maybe i am being harsh writing this as the managament and staff really run a great operation here and so full marks for effort.

Any one stayed at the Eastiny Seven on Soi 7?
Looking around the Eastiny website, it seems like a new property and has many of the in room facilities I am looking for (in room safe and wifi internet acess). I was wondering if any one had any first hand knowledge on this specific property.
Thanks in advance
