Pattaya Hotels

Well since this is the Hotel Forum here is what information I have concerning hotel reservation sites.
I’ve use a few of them like hotels2thailand, Agoda (Former Percision) & Res24. Happy discount rate searching LOL…

[QUOTE=Petemcc]Gentlemen. I stayed in one of the deluxe rooms at 800 bhat a night, and found it well worth the money. Rooms start there at 500, but check the website and see.

My room was pretty big, nice ensuite, room safe, huge bed, and cold air-con. I spent a fair bit of time there with an angel I found on my first day, and to be frank, one could not want more from a room than a comfortable place to shag, and a decent place to get washed before and afterwards, and of course somewhere to enjoy a decent meal and drink up until midnight?

The housekeeping service was excellent, and she didn't care what time you emerged, usually after 3pm.

Early on, a caster broke off my stool, I told the owner, and it was replaced before I could even get upstairs. Another time the water pressure had gone really low in the taps, I told the cleaner, and by the time I had come back it was sorted.

The staff downstairs all speak excellent English, and they have no problem with your tilak/overnight rental.

After midnight, entry is via the back (don't we all love that!) and the security guys are pretty insistent on taking the girl's ID card, which is good security.

The one problem with the place is that it is on Soi 6. Problem you may say, yes! The few times I ventured out without my Tilac I was like a little boy in a sweetie shop, but luckily tilak told me she would kill me if I strayed away. Soi 6 can be an intimidating place!

Right out the back door is a pharmacy, there's a cheap launderette about 34 hansum man calls away ( 100 metres), and a 7/11 at the top of the street.

Guys, really, for 800 bhat a night it is a bargain. If you want to spend more money on girls and drinks without compromising on decent accommodation, try the Queen Vic.[/QUOTE]Totally agree with you Pete. I stayed there back in April and loved it.

I stayed in one of the cheaper internal rooms - so there was no noise issue there for me - but I don't think that Soi 6 is that noisy at night when you compare it to Soi 7,8 etc.

A couple of other things that I liked was that they also had free wi-fi in the rooms and it has small forum about the other Soi 6 bars. To top it off they sell the best beer in Asia - Beer Laos!

A couple of negative things though - as you say that after the pub closes, the entrance is around the back on Soi 6/1 - which is a LB freelancer area, so if you do go back after your nights activities ladyless the LB's assume that is what you are after and gave me a bit of hassle on a couple of occasions.

I would also say that the rooms have a 'pub feel' to them rather than a feel of a hotel, which might not be to everyones taste.

Need some help.. Just booked at Nova Platinum but the web site is not too specific about the location. can some one confirm the location. My initial impression was that it was located on second road near boys town. But the google map puts it below the baht bus route on the same street as angle witch.



Thanks in advance. Tofa LOL..

It is on 2nd Rd and South of Pattaya Thai (South Rd), right next to the Siam Bayshore Hotel, and I believe it might also front on Walking Street as well. Looks like a nice hotel. Boys Town is North of Pattaya Thai on Soi Pattayaland.

Please post your impression after your stay (price/quality/girl friendliness/etc.). I have a reservation there for NYE and am looking for some feedback. It seems like a newer hotel and think I have only seen one post with direct experience. When is your visit so I can monitor this thread?

I was looking for an alternative for Secrets hotel (ended up staying there). I visited one of the A A hotel rooms. The rooms have seen better days long ago. There were no non-smoking rooms in the hotel at all. There is no in-room safety box. In TripAdvisor someone commented they allow minors in their rooms. Low season price 850B. Not my hotel.

Will do if my booking agent ever gets around to fixing my hotel reservations LOL ...

RTFF and found your post, thanks for the tip. Owner Vic made it a point to introduce himself and gave good tips. Pub had great food, even had Lao beer.

I was picked up at the airport and arrived at 2am. Silly me, thought all the bars would be closed. Found this lovely at a 2nd street bar.

Would definetly stay at the Vic again,

Can anyone help in accomodation in this place? I have 2weeks in Pattaya and I would like to stay at least for a night in this city.However all Chonburi listings are actually Naklua-Pattaya-Jomtien hotels.Or at best the hotel in Sriracha
Dont they have reasonable hotels within walking distance from the main road
from Bangkok to Pattaya if I come by bus? It looked like a big city from the bus the last year I came to Pattaya.I am told its the provincial capital.

I spent a month in Chonburi once. I was working there, so I had no choice. I discovered that in the middle of the city, there is very little to do except watch CNN in your room. I would avoid it at all costs.

and it's an HOUR away from Pattaya by SLOW BUS, TOO

(Suk is where you get the bus... to Sriracha... to Banglaemung... to Pattaya (still on Suk -- they don't go to the bus station, so you have to cross SUK) which due to the traffic SUCKS when dragging a BAG) stay out from in front of MERCEDES - they have their own gunsight hood ornaments :)

Going to Chonburi ... ROFLMAO - nothing interesting unless you have connections there ) even Trat is more interesting from an "entertainment" perspective if you can speak Thai

Will be going to Pattaya for work in Oct.

Since the company is paying I would like to stay at a 4 or 5 star resort style hotel with good access to nightlife (but also quiet). Couple of questions:

1) Any recommendations on guest fee free accommodation's in this category? 2) If hotel does have a guest fee - how does it show up on your bill? As you can imagine, I would prefer to avoid convoluted expense account explanations!

Other good hotels with no cf:

Tim Boutique
Mercure

All the 3 hotels are in the center - 3-5 minutes to walking street if you walk and 2 - 3 minutes to SOI 6/7/8, Big C with the Bath.

Hope your company is also going to pay you the ladies.

I have been the last 2 years (6 times) alway Mercure. Quite Hotel, good price, and you have just 3 walking minutes to WS and 2-3 min. with bath taxi to Soi 6,7,8 and BIG C.

The Nova Platinum coes not charge a joiner fee...I'm staying there at the end of September and I made sure that guests were free before I made my reservations. I've enclosed the link to their FAQ
