Hi BMs,
I'm travelling to Pattaya on the 30th of July and staying there until 8th August. I have been going through various posts in this forum and have shortlisted a few hotels after browsing them. However, since this is only my second visit to pattaya and I have not stayed in any of these hotels in my earlier trip (stayed in Sunbeam as a package tourist last time
), I need your expert guidance on the facilities I'm looking for in these hotels. First, the hotels that I have short-listed:
1. Flipper House (or) Flipper Lodge
2. Queen Victoria Inn
3. Hotel Koenig
4. Sabai Inn
5. Carlton Hotel
I will mainly be going to the various Go-Go bars to pick up the cuties and since baht buses are a given, I'm not really concerned about the location. What I'm looking for in the hotels is below:
1. Girl Friendly!! (1-3 girls)
2. Within 500-700 baht range per night (since the time I'm there will be low season)
3. Decent restaurant where I can have breakfast without having to travel outside
4. Decent room space and furnishing. Rooms don't have to be extravagantly large but shouldn't be so small only that there is enough space for the bed and TV!!
5. Decent sized bathroom. Fun in just bed-room gets boring pretty quickly after-all! Be it shower or a bath, there should be enough space for at-least two people to comfortably practice bathroom gymnastics
6. Good room-service, and clean bed, bath & towels!
7. Proximity to necessities like laundry, Internet, shopping. In-house internet will be all the more better, but on the other hand, I wouldn't mind a 5 - 10 minute walk to any of these
8. Swimming pool NOT a must since I'm not going to Pattaya for swimming!
9. In room safe
10. And yes, friendly staff
Hopefully advance reservation is not required since the time I'm travelling is low season!
Just so you know, I have even read through the hotel reviews in
http://www.pattayapages.com, but there is nothing better than hearing it from fellow BMs who have been to these hotels most recently! Help me with your suggestions folks!!
