Anyone stayed here recently? 1) Is there a lot of construction and noise / dust in the area? 2) How is the speed and stability of the in-room wifi? Cheers.

Thanks very much for the update izzyg!

Has anyone stayed in the D Apartment standard room (new building) recently? 1) Is the wifi fast and stable? 2) Are the furnishings well maintained? Any updates would be much appreciated. Cheers.

is this a sheep joke? maybe u r thinking abt the kiwi cricket team?

why would a deaf and dumb kid hv a mobile phone?

Has anyone used the in-room wifi at the the Seaside Guesthouse? What is the speed like, is the download at least 500kbps? Cheers, GB

Thanks again everyone. I called and made a booking, will try to reconfirm via email before my trip. Ghaf

Thanks Steve, looks like I'll just have to fax or phone him.

Does anyone have Mr T's email address? I got the contact number 038-720318 from an older thread but would prefer to email him. Thanks, Ghaf

I took a Mr Dang car from Pattaya to BKK in May and got an incredibly beat up car. Has anyone else experienced this before? On the plus side the driver was safe and punctual and got me to the airport in good time. Ghafar

I was there last week (early May) and did not hear any contruction noises. I asked for a quiet room when booking. I would definitely stay there again on my next trip if they keep the current rate of 1050b. You might also want to try the other Bella Villa on Third Rd (100m from North Pattaya Rd junction) and do a review, it seems a real bargain at 700b. http://www.bellavillapattaya.com/index.php...id=27&Itemid=52

Bella Villa Prima is quoting 1050b for a standard room.

Try the Omni Tower, it's abt 10 min walk down the road from Nana. The website is at the link below. Check out prices on resellers like Hoteltravel.com or Asiatravel.com before you call Omni to negotiate the room rate. http://www.the-ascott.com/OurResi/ResiGene...=80&t=Other&r=4

Seems like so many new apartments / condos coming up, you might hv better choices in 12 months time.

Had a look and the place is nice, walk-in rate is only B850 / night. Pros Decor in room is 4-star, very nice pool, VERY cute girl working in cafe, walking distance to Big-C. Cons Internet connection in cafe is not working, coffee is REALLY bad, it wren't for the cutey I would've spat out the first mouthful, never mind choke down the whole (large) cup. Location is 50m down Soi 2(?) South Pattaya Rd which is directly opposite the Big-C signboard. It is ~300m fr the Sukhumvit Rd junction (opp Tony's disco). Transport not a problem, frequent baht buses along South Pattaya Rd. For your budget you can also try: - Bella Villa (bellavillapattaya.com / 6638-415750) B1050 Soi 4 Beach Rd - Mike Orchid Resort (6638-362192 / ) B1600 Soi 4 Beach Rd - LK Metropole (6638-428100 / lk_rsvn@yahoo.com) B1500, same Soi as Areca Lodge (Soi 13 Second Rd?) I viewed the rooms at these places but did not stay there, was thinking of moving to some place with a swimming pool but eventually didn't bother.
