Decent Pattaya Hotel

[gymshark]

For the last few years when we visit sin city the wife & I stay at the A1 Cruise hotel on beach road because of the proximity to the beach.

We pay abou 3400 a night and it is OK but I am getting a bit tired of it, anyone know of a similar standard hotel in Pattaya or better around the same price. Don't like noisy though.

Cheers.

Areca Lodge is excellent, near Beach Road, should be what you are looking for.

It is near the beach, 15 min walk from walking street and far enough out of the mix for noise not to be a problem.

The family stayed there when it first opened, hope it hasn't changed in recent times.

What about Fairtex Hotel / Resort on North Pattaya Road, not far from the dolphin roundabout.

Its away from the noise but still pretty close to the beach, shopping areas and baht taxi routes.

Well maintained resort, helpful staff and has good fitness facilities.

Dusit, Amari, or Royal Cliff. All very close to the beach, and all over priced, the same as A1.

I find soi 13 between Beach and Second to be very quiet. There is Sandy Springs or The Whitehouse Condotel. Both run about 1500THB/night. Very decent places. You are less about a minute from the beach. There's a great english pub situated between the two places I've mentioned, The Sportsman. That's my suggestion. Cheers

Is the food at the Hard Rock any good? Same menu as Bangkok?

[torrenova]

HR food nothing to write home about and well overpriced as are their drinks. Tourist ghetto.

[suiging]

Try the Mercure. Well run, decent price.

Friends have stayed recently at The Dusit (Thani), Sabai Resort (Nr Big C), Sunshine Vista (Soi 3) and Bella Villa(Soi 4). Less expensive that A1 and as far as I have been told very good rooms service etc.

Thanks for the ideas, some good ones to follow up, apart from the Hard Rock one but I assume that was a joke anyway.

The attraction initially with the A1 was the ability to book online with instant confirmation, I will check the others to see if they have the same.

Hotels are fighting for customers - all the hotels mentioned in this thread can be contacted either directly with a little searching or via any of the many agencies that you can miss when you search for 'hotel' & 'Pattaya'.

Find something you like the look off and book for two nights, ask if you extend your booking for a week will they honor the discounted rate for your whole stay - get that in writting.

Use your first day to visit other hotels you like the look of - ask what their 'walk-in rate' is - compare with agencies or any online sites that the hotel themselves run.

Then simply move hotel - or show the new hotel's rate to your current place and use it to knock the price down.

Don't think of staying in one hotel for the whole holiday - move around - it doesn't cost extra and allows you to locate near the shopping center or the beach for different phases of your holiday.

I was there last week and stayed at the Grand Sole' Hotel on the Second Road at about Soi 6a. Very quiet, 11 stories, big pool (no sun after about 15:00), reasonable menu prices, free wifi in the lobby and sometimes you can pick it up in your room from elsewhere. Just a 10-15 minute walk from the big Central shopping center. Cost 1540/night (single) incl breakfast and you don't have to pay to bring a guest back (so a friend told me).

But we did what someone already suggested - stayed in a cheap place the first night (700/night) and looked for a better place the next day.

Cheers, we only stay a few days to visit friends there so it's not a real holiday, just would like somewhere nice that isn't too cheap and nasty and not full of hookers and their tricks (asking a lot I know) the A1 seemed to have a good handle on that but just getting a bit tired of the place.

No prizes for guessing which camp you come from then, thanks for the input.

Try the Royal Cliff if you can't deal.

Or if the price does not scare you away - try this

They have a good selection of locations also, depending on how badly you need to go slumming in Pattaya.

Try www.amari.com online booking is good with instant confirmation and right now the prices are around 2,500 Baht per night including tax. It is a decent place with nice gardens.

I'm not sure what you are talking about re whirlpool behind the bed. My friends have stayed there several times recently and the newly refurbished rooms are extremely nice. The bathrooms of the rooms I have been in definitely have extractor fans.

[Tolley]

If you really want something nice try the Sheraton.

You will have to pay a little more but it is quite luxurious.
