You don't your need to worry much about the LB, at Queens unless you use the entrance in the back more than the front.
The Metro Apartments is directly across from Devils Den, 038 425874

Thanks for all you help guys.
I really should just pick one and stick to it.
I have now added Billabong hotel to the evergrowing 'short'list!
Metro Apartments seems ideal.

Metro appartments is a good place to stay but book early as it very popular.
There are alot of decent places on soi lk
I prefer Charlie Place on the corner of Soi Bakow and Soi Dianna. Very clean around 800 b and great people, close to action and good restaurants.
Stay away from Swasadee, poor quality. Pasadena Inn is on Soi LK Metro and looks very good, new. About 1000 b.

Friends, I have been reading up on the Pattaya trend pertaining to the above mentioned hotel and the report seems to be mixed as to whether it is girl-friendly (GF) or not. I have emailed (7 days ago) the hotel regarding joiner-fee and have yet not received any reply from them.
My friend and I will be going to Bangkok in early December and we wanted to spend a few days in Pattaya since we have a total of 2 weeks vacation time. I am entrusted to make the necessary arrangements and have decided on either Citadines (Soi 23) or Sacha Uno (Soi 19) in Bangkok (any negative feedback so far about the GF status of the hotels...?), but I am stuck on accommodation in Pattaya.
I would really appreciate if the experts on Pattaya scene could give me an update on:
(1) The GF status of Sunbeam hotel.
(2) Also the map on the website showed it as located between Soi 7 & 8. Is this a good "action" location?
Thanks a bunch for the kind assistance.
Cheers

(1) I get different info regarding the GF status, some say 300 baht fee per guest. Someone says that you can book a doubleroom and then they dont charge you a joinerfee.
(2) Soi 7&8 is a very good action location.
Personally I would choose another hotel. Some say Sunbeam is a ripoff. I like the Eastiny group. Eastiny Plaza (soi 8) is a bit to much in the middle of the action but I like the Eastiny Place (soi8).
I know I`ve seen the Sunbeam sign but have never walked inside.

After extensive search.
I booked 1 Reu Thai Paradise room at Sabai Resort for 5 nights from 29/12/2009 till 31/2010 at the rate of 78.US$ (2605.4 THB)cheaper by 32us$ from the rate given to me by my travel agent
I used direct rooms website i think that is a good rate considering that it is the peak season 3 years ago i stayed at Sabai lodge from the same group at the rate of 1650.THB however i think the sabai resort room in paradise room is bigger and better thus i found this rate is good one.
As for my stay in bangkok i booked a Grande Superior room the unbeatable Majestic Grande at the rate of 104.US$ approximately 3432.THB not bad too my last stay was in september and i paid 85.US$ 2805 THB.
What do u think fellow mongers.
Majestic G 2677baht superior on thaihoteldiscount. I dont know how I should read your post. PB
After reading the feedback from fellow members here about Sunbeam, I decided not to take the chance as there are 6 of us and we want to party (first in Pattaya and later in Bangkok).
I have read on the forum that Sunshine is quite popular amongst members. I searched the Web and there are 2 Sunshine located in Pattaya, ie Sunshine and Sunshine Gardens. Before I decide, could I seek some clarification on which hotel is nearer to the action areas and is GF?
Thanks in advance.

Just had a week in the above hotel, The hotel is a boutique style hotel which is quite nice but I think will age and deteriorate very quickly. At the moment there is extensive building work going on at the back of the property near the pool, this has been commented on before. The hotel is quite pricey for food and drink, a small beer at the pool side bar is 150 Baht, rooms are priced at 1600 for a deluxe. Worth noting the hotel is very noisy at night, I requested a quiet room and still the noise was annoying, there are a lot of Arabs and Indians using this hotel, I witnessed an argument in the parking lot which is below the 2nd wing, there were 3 Indian guys and a Thai girl and she was very angry, she was shouting at the Indians saying they weren't paying the rate agreed before she came back. I didn't see the outcome but she was well pissed off.
My weeks stay at Nova was good, however I wouldn't go back and I can't really recommend it.
May the force be with you.
After reading through the forum, I have basically decided that my friends and I (6 pax) will stay at Sunshine Residence (new wing) in Pattaya. As I read further on other forum, I came across several reports that mentioned the hotel is racist against Asian. I find that disturbing given the fact that it is located in Thailand.
My questions to the experts on the "adult" affairs in Pattaya are:
(1) Is it true about the racism comments pertaining to Sunshine Hotel and Residence because amongst our group, there are 1 Eurasian, 2 Chinese, 1 Indian and 2 Malay. If it is true than we will certainly not want to give business to an establishment that does not welcome us......
(2) If the racism comment is not true and the author(s) of those reports just want to make the hotel look bad, then we will stay. I would just like to seek confirmation from fellow members here that the said hotel is still GF. We will certainly book "twin sharing" for all the six rooms.
Thanks in advance.

[quote=d cups]hi chachi,
i'll be going to pattya in march 2010 and am looking for a decent, inexpensive hotel, too. if you go before me could you kindly let me know via pm what you find out? i really appreciate it. i am also looking to sample some of the infamous thai stick there (and in bkk) so any additional info on that is also much appreciated. if you are there also in march perhaps we can hook up. from my forum name you can rightly guess i am into big boobs!
regards,
d cups[/quote]hi d cups,
i have finally decided to stay at the metro apartments on soi lk metro. great location for [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord900][CodeWord900][/url], devils den, and some good non-pushy bars to relax in. 840 baht (high season). i'll be in pattaya in 2 weeks!
i'll be sure to post my fr upon my return. although they do have in-room wifi, so if i get a chance i'll provide running commentary!
i'm not planning to be in los in march, but who knows!
with regards to bkk. i have been twice, and both times stayed at stable lodge. good location, relatively cheap, girl-friendly, quite at night and fanstastic food. hope this helps.
To other mongers, I just read a report on Nova Platinum hotel and it doesn't seem like it is a good place to stay. I have a reservation for early Feb. I am checking on the flipper house as an alternative. Can you give me some feedback that is up to date. I prefer something that is close to action but is also quiet. Yes I have RTFF.

I usually stay at Secrets when I want to be near W.S, but I tried Galaxy Suites for the first time this week. From my experience I’d say the following: Secrets rooms are larger than G.S but more basic. The shower in G.S is above the toilet, so getting showered is not much fun; Secrets’ showers are fine. Both are above bars so both are noisy but I’ve never found it to be a problem at Secrets. At G.S it is very loud from about 8pm onwards, the noise doesn’t stop until around 3am. This is fine if you hit the bars between those times but no good if you want to be in your room earlier than that. I spent my time clock watching lest I go back to the room too early. Just my opinion but I wouldn't return

Well if you want it quiet you should not go for the Flipper(so far as I know). My suggestion is Eastiny Place soi 8, just over the block from Flipper.
Choose a room located high and facing towards second road. You will find yourself in the action but still very quiet.
