Stayed there years ago before new wing opened - rooms then were about 600 and buffet 75 baht - wouldn't stay there for free now - and the buffet is definitely quantity over quality - it's a dump.

VT6 condos are 48 sq metres - plenty big enough for me to stay long term.

Not much of a view - and the balconies don't seem very secure - you can hop over them from one room to another in those pics.

Soi13 is crammed with hotels/apartment bulidings - you can almost reach out and touch the buliding across the way - location is the main selling point.

Saw a round trip from Manchester in June all on A380 for £552 - thought that was pretty decent - connecting times good at about 2hrs 30mins.

I like the look of the area as I'm hoping to retire to Patts in a few years and there are some decent condos for around 15000 a month-that's a good value long term rate for the condo-the place is brand new and in good location

I ate breakfast most mornings at Rosies-very good Irish breakfast-and evening specials were good also.I found food better than Pig next door. Good honest staff as welI-I was stupid enough to leave an expensive phone on the table one morning-didn't realise until I got back to my condo-ran back to Rosies to find it was waiting for me at the serving counter.

Netflights has price of £515 on above À380 service-very tempting.

Was just browsing Emirates site and came across some dates where it is possible to fly A380 all the way to and from Bangkok-not too bad a fare at about £550. I was looking at going out in May-would be a nice experience to sample the A380-good to see that it is not just London getting the choice-connect times are good also.Manchester departure is 14.10.

Not great having an open router-I stayed in VT6 recently and they were password protected.

Agoda booking works out about £20 a night-that seems decent price for new place.Negative is no free wifi,rooms on one side face entertainment complex,other side Action Street(although only a handful of bars there now).Pool doesn't look as if it would get much sun. But the rooms,whilst compact,manage to fit in a small kitchen and table/chairs,and a sofa.Rooms are advertised with balcony but they must be pretty small,can't see any chair etc on the website pics. Be nice if someone who stayed there posted a review and some pics.For anyone who likes staying in Soi B area,worth a look.

If you are on a budget,the place seems good value,especially at the current low season rate of 490 a night.

Hey Gabor-when I stayed in VT6 there was a list on the lift wall reminding condo owners that their cable was due for renewal-and your name was on it! I hope you managed to renew it-wouldn't like to think you were cut off!!

I stayed in VT6 recently,and for the first time in Jomtien in VT2A (they were Dancewatchers condos for rent). I thought security was fine in VT2A with keycard entry to buiding-yes easy enough to slip in through open door during day but not at night-VT6 has security guy by lift but you would never be stopped. The corridors in VT2 were dark-VT6 has been described as having hospital corridors but they are wide and light. Swimming pool areas were nice in both-and I liked pool cafe in VT2-useful to get out of the sun and have a coffee. VT2 location seemed fine to me,short walk to beach and some

It's certainly a good location for getting everywhere-I went past it a lot in May,it looked very nice-ideal for couples also I would guess.Great pics.

Had to add third link here for VT2A condo

Sorry about that-forgot my promise-here are the links to vids for all three condos I stayed in-feel free to ask any questions.

The Man-Dubai leg was on A330 with tiny seat back vid screen.Dubai to Bangkok was on 777 but seat back screen about 7". Etihad's is 10 inches-and size matters.

Just got back from trip with Emirates from Manchester-not particularly impressed with planes and on board facilities-think Etihad is better.If prices were similar,I would return to Etihad.

There is some construction ongoing just near hotel at Beach Road end,only gone up a couple of floors so will be ongoing for some time.I could hear it from VT6 so imagine a bit louder at Sea Me Spring.

I think you would for that price in that area get better room in any of the LK Metro bars,prob better security as well.

I stayed in Jomtien at View Talay 2 for a few nights and went to P&W as it was just across road-it's also a sports bar with sports on different screens.All meals were good,which is more than I can say about P&W on Soi 7-had a couple of horrible meals there-Rosies next door is much better.

I'm in the middle of a 22 night stay in Dancewatchers condos -started in VT6,then VT2 in Jomtien for 3 nights, and tomorrow back to VT6 for rest of hol-above my usual price range but good value. I will post a little vid of all the rooms when I get back,as this is better than pics.

For a month stay you should try a condo,same price maybe as a hotel but much better room and facilities-Dancewatchers VT6,where I am staying now,have plenty to choose from.

Just booked Bell bus.I arrive at 08.20 so 10.00 departure ideal to arrive in Patts.Be there in two weeks.Got to agree,website is shit for sending booking,always has been,best to email direct.
