Pattaya Hotels

Booked my room at hard rock-double occupancy- anybody have any issues with bringing guests??

Never. I sty there for a week at a time as it is close to Soi 6 etc. I then switch to either Siam at Siam or Hilton for the following weeks.

I had 2 girls with me for several nights my trip in Oct. I had a huge suite and booked via expedia for 3 people #winning.

Its a great hotel. More 4* than 5 IMHO.

YMMV.

I seek recommendations for reasonably priced hotels in Pattaya. I have come across two establishments, namely Intimate Hotel and Sandy Spring Hotel, through this forum. While these options appear promising, I am open to additional suggestions within a similar price range as Intimate Hotel and Sandy Spring Hotel. If you have any alternative recommendations, I would appreciate your insights. Thank you.

Right off the bat, let me admit I have yet to stay at either place. So I'll just say a few words about their locations, and leave it at that.

They are both in central Pattaya, which is good for a first time visitor. But I'll give the edge to the Sandy Springs. It's on Soi 13 between Beach Road and Second Road, which means it's a VERY short walk to catch a baht bus headed south on Beach Road or north on Second Road. So super-easy to get back and forth to Walking Street and Soi 6. If you're interested in Soi LK Metro, Soi Buakao, Soi Pothole, Soi Lengkee or Soi Boomerang, they are all easy walks. Finally, Soi 13 features the excellent Sportsman Pub, a nice laundry and the breakfast buffet at the Lek Hotel. (Assuming they still offer it. Can anybody weigh in?

The Intimate is east of Second Road on Soi 14 Alley, which is a narrow snicket. Moreover, it's a dead end. No matter where you're going, you'll have to walk back to Second Road. There isn't much in the way of commerce on that alley, so you'll be making that walk quite often.

Stayed at this hotel for 3 nights. This is on the beach road which makes is easy to move around ... walking street (10 mins walk) or to the beach etc. Its a GREEN hotel to bring in guest.I did see a message at the reception that 500Baht shall be paid incase of guest which i asked for clarification. I was told that this is for any additional guest ( may be 3rd if room is for 2 or for 2nd if room was was one).... Since the room was booked for double occupancy, there were no issues to bring in guests for short time or long time. 4 different guests came along on these days and there was no issue...Room was huge with queen bed, a tiny balcony to sit and chat, baths had jacuzzi. Breakfast was great too.When I had a guest for short time, the reception made sure to call back on intercom to check if the ID card of the guest can be handedover. Liked this part of check.

Highly recommended. Only -ve is that I landed early to 2 Pm and check in was denied as till 2 PM. Can swallow this part as its a rule.

So how much did you pay for a week?

It was 498 USD for a week stay (thru AirBnB).

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.

Had you taken a moment and not rushed to correct me the way you have done in your 7 posts you might have been able figure it out on your own.

Which seven posts? It was only one.

Seriously my ISG Brother you were confused because I did not say that my second Baht Bus ride started on Second Road in Pattaya and ended at View Tally 5 on Thappraya Road, in Jomtien (which if you look it up in Google Maps lists the location as Jomtien, Pattaya. I honestly do not know how you could have been confused if you have actually ever made the trip. As I listed the exact route that I took. How you have to get off of a Baht Bus if you get on at Beach Road.

Yes, I was confused because you also have to start on Second Road to take a baht bus going north. I just did not realize that you were going south.
And yes, I have made the trip a couple of times, but that's a long time ago.

I missed your last report on a hotel / condo / apartment you stayed at in Pattaya. I look forward to reading it.

I'm usually staying in the same hotel, for many years already. It's a well known and rather popular hotel, in a popular Soi of Second Road, that doesn't need reviews anymore. In fact, I might have been one of the reasons that it became so popular, because I heavily promoted it a couple of years ago.

I cannot recommend View Talay 5. I had bad experiences with the noise in the building. It is built in such a way that noise resonates throughout the building. You can hear people playing music and their home theaters watching movies. I also had a bad experiences with the rental manager when my contract ended over the electric, water and cleaning charges. There was a problems in the apartment due to deferred maintenance that required two visits from workman to the correct. The biggest problem for me was that the oven did not work. I picked the unit because it had an oven. The problem was never fixed. Last item is that the owners had personal items stored in the unit taking up four drawers of limited storage space. The did not lock the items up.

You experiences may be different, if you are in a different unit. Let the renter beware..

I don't read this forum but Rarely. I saw you and had to click.

I cannot stop laughing at you bro.

I see now what you meant. I was confused by the sentence 'Headed down Second Road until View Talay 5', because Second Road is not called Second Road anymore around View Talay 5. It's called Thappraya Road there.

View Talay 5 is in Jomtien. Did I say otherwise?

This afternoon, got on the Bhat bus at Soi 13/2 on Beach Road. Rode it down to Walking Street and made the turn. Dismounted and walked on to Second Road and mounted up again. Headed down Second Road until View Talay 5. 18 minutes, 34 seconds, 48 tenths of a second, 20 THB.

Do anyone know hotels in Pattaya with integrated "Special" room Services? Thanks.

All the hotels in Pattaya that I have stayed at have integrated "special" room service. I have spent extensive time integrating my dick with the girls providing the "room" service. Or is that service in the room? LOL!

[SubCmdr]

I may be a "new poster" and a "tourist". But I know where I lay my head every night. I might not know where that is going to be. But once I get there I know and I can get back home when and if I need to. I gots stories to tell.

I suppose you mean View Talay 6,.

Why would I have meant that? Does it take 18 minutes, 34 seconds, 48 tenths of a second or take 20 THB to get from Soi 13/2 to View Talay 6? It is not even in the same direction my confused and misguided ISG Brother.

Where is Jomtien? Jomtien, Pattaya City, Bang Lamung District, Chon Buri 20150 Na Chom Thian or Na Jomtien is a town and tambon (subdistrict) in Sattahip District of Chon Buri Province, on the southern fringe of Pattaya..

Pattaya City has grown into all adjacent sub-districts and accounts for the largest population percentage in the district, making it de facto a part of the "Pattaya-Bang Lamung-Jomtien" area, otherwise known as "Greater Pattaya.

I suppose you mean View Talay 6, because View Talay 5 is in Jomtien.

I wrote: "I live in Jomtien and I took the Baht Bus from Soi 13/2 to View Talay 5."

View Talay 5 has owners of condos that will rent rooms on contract period you specify at a premium over what you would pay for a longer term contract. I paid 17,000/ month plus water and utilities for a 48 m2 condo that was completely remodeled and looked like something out of a home decorating magazine. With a balcony and killer view of the water, it was something to behold.

When high season came I was informed that the cost of my room would increase to 25,000. Anyone can rent a room there for 15,000/ month yearly (same size) but it will not be laid out like the room I rented was laid out. Even so, 25000/ month for a 48 m2 condo is highway robbery (so much for those who think High Season is a myth in Pattaya). Yes, I am poor and I live as a poor Thai does. So, I moved.

Security is not tight with the closest you get to any is the security people pushing the elevator button for you. Girls can come right to your room without a problem. They will not be stopped or challenged. In View Talay 6 they stop the girls and take pictures of their ID (At least they did when I was staying there). Back to View Talay 5: Standard services available on the first floor of the building and many others available within two blocks. Sits right on a Baht Bus line. Cross the street in order to take the one that you down the beach road or head out the back of the complex and have direct access to the beach.

because View Talay 5 is in Jomtien.

View Talay 5 is in Jomtien. Did I say otherwise?

For a first time visitor no. But once you know your way around, if you prefer a quieter environment I would certainly consider it.

In fact, I do more than just consider it. I live in Jomtien. I just looked at an off the plan condo in Pratumnak. Walking distance to a Baht Bus route. I have never paid more than 200 THB (6 USD) for a one way ride anywhere in Pattaya. Often what I do is get in a Bolt the first time. Pay attention to the route and learn. Then often times I can do it via Baht bus on my own the next time.

Do not be afraid to get on a Baht Bus and just ride it where it takes you. If you are going too far off the beat and path, hit the button, get off and ask the driver to direct you where you want to go. Have I wasted 10 THB doing that? I sure have. Have a learned a lot doing that? Gained knowledge way more valuable than the 10 THB. This knowledge has opened up a range of options to me. Now, be prepared to spend 20 minutes getting from Jomtien to Central Pattaya on the Baht Bus. But as you all know, I am time rich and cash poor so I just don't give a fuck!

Just as a note, next month my rental is going up by 8000 THB because of high season and it is already booked. So, I moved out and found a unit across the street and a block away for 8000 THB / month. Options are available. Just saying.

Going from Jomtien to Pattaya at night can be expensive during High Season.
