Sunshine Hotel & Residence On Soi 8

Featured Replies

I want to know about the Sunshine hotel on soi 8. Can you see the sea from the seaview room. Thats not such a daft question as it seems quite far back on the map.

Is it noisy with it being so close a large number of bars? Are the staff decent enough? Does it have a good pool area?

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Stayed there about 4 years ago. Was perfectly good, especially pool area. Also no stupidity about charging for "joiners". Can't remember a noise problem, staff were fine.

Not sure about the sea view, I was looking at other things... :o

Sea view - well spose there is a chance!! :o Perfectly alright - few mates stayed there when they couldnt get in the Welcome Plaza, said it wasnt as good as the Welcome, but alright. Noise wasnt an issue either - rooms sound proofed?

Stay in the new wing (tall), the old section is crap (lower level) and old decor.

If you want a sea view ask for the top two floors, 10th and 11th.

Good hotel.

Alternate - Flipper Lodge Soi 8 (take a room in the old wing on the 5th floor), IMHO this is better than the newer Flipper House on Soi 7. Pattaya Centre Hotel on Soi 10-11(?) take the more expensive rooms next to the lifts - great views, although the hotel is in need of a refurb and is often FULL of Chinese/Korean tourists, the breakfast reflects this.

Agree that must stay in new wing at sunshine. The hotel's also got a real good restaurant outside on the patio (cofee shop and internet cafe also) that serves good farang and thai food and gives you a great view of the passing nocturnal butterfly populace.

can also recommend Eastiny Hotel, right next to Sunshine. Actually like that more than sunshine. Great pool, no joiner fees and nice staff.

Nowadays I always stay o Soi 10, much more quiet, sea views etc. Sawadee seaview or Eastiny Residence are both great hotels, Eastiny better cause it has w-lan on 7:th floor, nice pool and a great bacon&egg breakfast. Bit expensive (1300b/night in high season) though.

The Eastinies are a better bet than Sunshine.

The Eastiny on soi 7 has great sea views up the top floors and a nice cool breeze as well. IMHO this is your best option.

THANKS FOR THE POINTERS GENTS.

Stayed there about 6 months ago. Great Sea Views from the top floor of the tower. Dont bother with the free breakfast. Nice little Cafe there though. Very Girl friendly too

That is the only place I stay when I go there semi annually. Centrally located, quiet within the rooms and reasonably priced. Friendly staff!!

used to stay at the eastiny all the time but couldnt get in once so we got a suite at the fliper on soi 7 it was good and a better pool than the eastiny in my opinion.
