Can anyone recommend a decent, inexpensive hotel, with a decent breakfast (but not Jomtiem beach area) in March/April

Clean tidy rooms would be nice, swimming pool, (I did swim in the sea not a great expeirience) and I know what comes out of that pumping station at the begining of 'walking street' and I know the outlet isnt far enough

appreciated for replies

(anyone know what the Tim hotel is like ?)

Tims Hotel is the new building up that soi behind the Go Go and has a beautiful roof top pool. I went there 6 Months ago when the bars were suppose to be shut, the Go Go guys from Tims took us up and there was a party happening. It wasn't finished at the time but it looked well appointed. I think the prices were around that 1,000 baht a night. For breakie you can go across the road to the Lek for the all you can eat buffet at 110 baht a person. You could even stay there, they also have a new wing and the rooms are around that 1,100 baht a night figure. In March it shouldn't be busy.

Yeah Brit, you mention that one so often, are you a finders fee or is it really that good? I've seen you post it that many times I feel like staying there just to check it out. Cheers old mate.

Sunbeam/Sunshine are quite alright too.

However I'm rather fond of Welcome Plaza and the staff!!!

I wish I received a finders fee though.

Thanks to everyone who posted here, Hotel all sorted, just need some recommedations for getting to Pattaya from BKK now, anyone got any ?

We ended up using the airport Limo service last time, but the driver was a bit on the surly quiet side, and didnt really like the stop I asked for (I think he was on a schedule or something)only wanted a pee and a coffee

Dont really want to use a bus or the mini bus that cruise around the airport (I swear the driver was p***ed a year ago) or a taxi

So any recommendations out there ?

Email the hotel you have booked into and arrange for them to pick you up.

If it was me, I'd hop into an airport taxi.

Oriental Escape - used them for transfer last few times and they are quite good.

I haven't used Mr. Toom, but I know quite a few people who recommend him rather highly. PM if you want his email/contact info.

Helicopter service still lands I believe on the roof of the Palm Villa.

T`was a lovely oasis.....before they pulled it down

The Welcome Plaza is good... and their sister property, next door, I think called the "Golden Palace", is similar... a one minute walk to the Royal Garden... location can't be beat.
