Lek Hotel is next to Mike's Department store. Mike's have a entrance on Beach Rd. and extends through to 2 Rd. to the parking lot. Lek is around 600-650 Baht a night. Personally if I was staying in that area for that price I would rather stay across the street at Apex Hotel ( if you can get in ) Lek is too dark of a place for me. So dark for me you can't see the food at the Buffet! Maybe that's why you got sick! What you can't see you can't compliant about.

Stayed at secrets for 5 days good room very clean, good food. Very nice staff met some of the coolest people in Thailand staying and working there. The owner Ben was very nice, as was everyone else, close to everything I wanted to be close to. Great place to stay for first timers. 850 a night.
Gentleman,
Wondering, First time in Asia yet alone Thailand. Think of doing Pattaya, wondering best hotel around 50-100 a nite GF guaranteed, not to noisy and close to the action. Thanks

Cowboy,
There are a million. I will only mention a couple. Sandy Spring Hotel on Soi 13 is nice, 1/2 block to beach, close to everything else. Soi 13 at 1300B. I like Charlie Place, new, a few blocks from beach but close to a lot. Corner of Soi Bacow and Soi Dianna. 900B.
These are both 3 stars but very presentable, Both are close to a lot of action but reasonably quiet. PM me if you want Charlie Place phone as it is at work.

The Sandy Spring Hotel is very nice. Also on Soi 13 is the Dynasty Inn which is go for about 1280 to 1480 bahts depending on the season you arrive in. Check out the hotel at the following website address..

This is taken out of the photo thread and put here - other alternates to LK Metropole
Try pretty much right across the street (a bit farther toward Buakhao) at Areca. They are a bit less and about as nice
Alternately, try some of the "lesser" hotels like one of the Sawasdee chain on Soi 10 north and south of 2nd road, on Honey Inn (soi 11), Diana Inn and corner of Buakhao and Honey Inn for 650 to 850. Not nearly as expensive, not quite so nice either
Myself, I tend to go native and stay in a cheap place for 400 to 500 and spend my money on other things. You won't be without a room in Pattaya - just that it not might be as elegant as you would wish.

I thought the Areca looked nice. One thing, when I walked past it with a gogo girl one night, she commented that she didn't like going in there as the people behind the desk made "bad" comments to her!

I used to stay at the LK Metropole for some time and would also recommend it.
I remember a few comments in here that the place recently has some issues with the water pressure though.
The rooms at the LK Metropole are superior to those of the Areca, but the Areca is still ok and I stayed there last year. They have two pools and sun throughout the day while the LK has no real pool.
Never had any bad experience with the hotel staff or heard any bad comments about my guests. You may avoid to pass by reception by taking the side entrance from the parking lot. This way you can reach the building in the back without being seen or enter the lift of the front building.
Can anybody provide the e-mail address of the LEK Hotel in Pattaya?
I just checked the Estiny website and found they have quite a few hotels now, and one resort. The addresses are mostly in the soi 8 area, one on soi 10 and a resort with an address that I don't recognise. Anyone been to the new hotel on soi 10 and the resort? I will be heading to Pattaya for the weekend and would like to stay at one of their new hotels if I can get a good report here. Thanks!
Has anyone stayed here before? I'm booked in here for mid march. Is it gf? Any general reviews would be welcome.
Thanks
I am very exited. Today for my firs trip I have bought my airline tickets and recieved confirmation from The Livingstone's. I will be in Bangkok on 03rd of February for a week :)
Now I need some help. I also visit Pattaya for 4 nights (11-15 February) and wanted to stay at Secrets but it is fully booked. Can you recommend me a sub 1000BHT girlfriendy hotel near the action? I have found The Livingstone's by this forum and hope to find a Hotel in Pattaya by your help.
Can anyone recommend any hotels in Pattaya with in-room internet connections and below the 1000 Baht mark per night for the room? Thanks.
Franga - roof garden fits that price range (or they DID a while back anyway) and are pretty nice. I don't know about the charge they had for the ADSL modem, though - you can bring your own if you have one - remember the 220 volt operation, though (damn near blew out my system with a "wrong voltage" converter. I was lucky that I read the input voltage range as 110 and set the output to 1/2 of what it "otherwise" needed (multivoltage xfmr) or bring a transformer box)
Eastiny is in that approx range - just check the forum
Might be some others in the soi 7 or 8 area that fit the bill as well
(I'm being polite, RTFF - not meant as as a flame - there are "internet in room" reports out there)
gaolei - eastiny soi 10 is "new" and costs a bit more than the others. It is ALSO A LOT QUIETER. Right next door to Sawasdee about 1/2 down (or up) the soi between beach and 2nd
Gaolie,
The resort is on the other side of Sukhumvit just off Siam Country club Road. It is out of the way and I personally suggest if you like being in the action this wouldn't be for you.
I have shown it to my friends several times. Great place and rooms are really nice and they have small cabanas. They have the biggest pool I ever saw in Pattaya except the water park in Jomtien and each time I went there I have never seen anyone in the pool. You can rent by the day, week or month. The room rates are around 20,000 baht and the Cabanas are 25,000 but one of the workers told me you can chew them down. The have a restuarant that looks over the pool and with the rooms rates you can get breakfast included if you like.
If I was single, which I'm not, and if I ever get kicked out and could afford the place this is where I personally would stay but in a Cabana, it's like a small house. They have lots of Stunners working in the place. If you know your way around Pattaya and don't mind walking to the main road for a taxi or getting around in a motorbike good place to relax and enjoy the candy in private.
