Hi guys

A very close friend informed me about this hotel for holiday stay or for ST fun.

I went and had a look with him later on, was very impressed, rooms chalet type, very big, very big bed and all the usual stuff a/c, cable tv, mini bar etc and also very good large toilets

Just accross the road from CN hotel, so ideally located

My mate turned up with a friend at 2am and managed to negotiate 500baht fee until 12 noon next day, they did not take his ID but took his new friend's, obviously no joiner fee etc.

When a tourist before I stayed PS & CN hotels, I reckon the accomm in the Neptuna is much better

Have also stayed at C&N previously, cant remember seeing Neptuna, where exactly is it ? But it sounds quite good! I will have to check it out also on my next trip. Appears to have a swimming pool, and at initial glance prices seem to be around 1000 baht low season, and 2000 high season which puts its above C&N and PS and more in the Patong Villa etc league. Any board members who manage to stay there write in and tell us about it !

Everything is negotiable, they were asking for 650baht per night during Sep, dont know what it might be high season

If you cross the main road at C&N and walk away from Bangla road it about 50 yards further up the road. All the rooms are down a lane, so its very private and quiet, you would not know you were so near Rat-u-Tit

Thanks G, i can picture where it is now, and at 650 baht low season sounds like an alternative to C&N worth checking out.

Geespot and everyone else...can you all give me some pointers on room rate negotiation with hotel staff? 'cause on the hotel website the rate listed is US$23 low season. thanks!

It's as simple as asking them how much per night, play on how long you are staying and always ask them for a discount or say how much you want to pay and then take it from there.

My friend asked how much for the night, the receptionist said 650 baht for the night, he said but its already 2am, 500 baht is a fair price, she said okay buy you mist be out by noon

You find that offical room rates are flexible especially in low season

Dont be shy always ask
