Lets definitely sort out the frinedly and unfriendly.

Its seems with all the thread in this forum over and over again its the question of if a hotel is Girl friendly or not.. what price, what suggestions, etc..

I suggest we come up with a standard format to post about the hotels that come up most regularly and everyone weighs in.. Then we can have the firt post of the thread naming and linking them (I am happy to do the work and edit the post as data comes in)..

I suggest we have

Name of Hotel ::
Price : low / mid / high season (negotiable)
Joiner fee :: Yes (price) / No / sometimes
Star rating ::
Contact info :: tel fax and web address and email if available
BM star rating :: Given how costly it is, how friendly they are etc..
Comments :: One line short of anything that needs to be said (get rooms in this bit or avoid the poolside rooms etc)

Keeping it short and to the point gives people a fast way to shortlist hotels.. Once we get enough posts we can divide it by price or by stars or something so we have a thread on sub 1000 guesthouses 1 - 2.5k hotels and >3k luxury or 3* and below 4* and above or whatever BM's think ??

Comments on this system fellas ?? I reckon once its working it will self police and stop the question coming again and again.. Just need to edit the first post of the sticky as data changes and new ones are listed.. Perhaps only the favorite 10 or 20 in the first post..

OK.. I had thought this thread for comments but it looks like a go...

If contributing a hotel can you try to stick to the format I listed (unless anyone has a better idea) and if possible try to get all the main info..

Will wait until we have the first 10 or so and will sort them into a Post

Two minutes from Bangla, one minute from the beach, pool area to relax, breakfast included.

I just booked this hotel for 6 nights starting November 13th. I booked a Bungalow (which I stayed in last time) and a Sweet Suite (for my two friends joining me in Thailand).

I thought that since I was returning customer they might give me a little discount which they agreed too. I got 200 bath off each room per day - not a whole lot but it still adds up

All in all a nice hotel with a very good location.

90% Agree Ally....probably would mark it an 8 out of ten, only bcoz of the no pool aspect.

Great idea Sefton.....we really needed something uniform on this subject....so hopefully we will now have it, and be able to maintain it's accuracy with regular updates from BM's that are staying or have recently stayed at that particular venue.

Anyone care to offer a review of the Patong Pearl Resortel? Am looking to book nights there during High season. Looks to be a good hotel in a good spot, prices are fair. Thanks.

Name of Hotel : Sand Inn
Location: Just opposite the road from Bangla Boxing Stadium.
Price : around 700-1000 baht in May
Joiner fee : No
Star rating : 3 stars for accomodations, 5 star for service.
Contact info : Lost the damned card
BM star rating : 4 stars
Comments : The quality of the rooms are all right. It has air-conditioning for all rooms, a minibar, TV and a laundry service which perfectly ironed my old shirt for the first time in a year, making it look decent and brand new.

The service, meanwhile, was excellent. There were two guys working there last time I visited: Sandoh and Sandy. Best service from a hotel I ever received of any rating whatsoever. Sandoh left to complete his studies, though.

Highly recommended, but save two rooms for me in November.

Name of Hotel : Yorkshire Inn.
Location: Rat-U-Thit Road, about 50 metres from Sand Inn.
Price : 700-1000 baht in January (after tsunami) to May.
Joiner fee : No
Star rating : 3 stars for accomodations, 3 stars for service.
Contact info : Lost the damned card as well.
BM star rating : 3 stars
Comments : Changed management recently, so I wouldn't know exactly how things have developed over there.

Last time I stayed at Yorkshire Inn was in January this year. Clean, well-kept, with all the things you'd expect to see in a three star hotel room.
