Hi, just joined. I stayed at Queen Vic in February 2011 on my first visit to Pattaya. I'd booked for 6 nights on the internet following a recommendation by a friend. When I arrived I asked if I could stay for an extra 3 nights. The lady at the bar checked in her book and said that would be ok, so I said great. On the 6th day as I was on my way out for some breakfast I saw Vic by the bar. He said your checking out today - yes. I said well I booked an extra 3 nights and was told that was ok. Vic said sorry but the lady forgot/didn't make a note of this and he had taken another booking for my room. I was a bit upset at this as Vic was not able to offer me anything else as he was fully booked. I asked how long I had to find another place and was told that they wanted my room back in 1 hr. Luckily, I managed to get accomodation at the lagoon bar nearby, but I wasn't impressed with that experience. The other negative was that there was a low pitched humming noise in my room all through the night which I found irritating. I did mention this to the staff their and was told it was probably the air con and the would check it. The noise carried on for the rest of the time. I did check the noise out myself one night and found it was coming from a generator that as bolt to the wall at the back of the Vic, it running most of the night for some reason and produced a humming noise through to my room overlooking Soi 6 at the front. Although the Queen Vic was not expensive (think my room was 900b), I could not really recommend it based on my experience. However, if you crash out at night and nothing wakes you and you make sure your booking is confirmed i writing, it could be fine!
