  1. Been to the seafood restaurant on corner of 2nd Road and Soi Skaw Beach Hotel many times (but not for the last two years) - always been good but has gone a bit upmarket since 2005. Think its better value than Walking Street. Worth a go. Just my 5 baht worth ! Sleepwalker
  2. sorry my arithmetic isn't at its best after a beer - should have said "Guess where the 50 baht goes" Sleep
  3. Stayed at D apartment in February this year. There are 2 parts - the old building that has some rooms overlooking soi buakhow and a new wing that is basically behind the old building. The new building has I think 3 standards of rooms (see website) with the best rooms having a large balcony overlooking the soi running off buakhow - I had one of these. Both old and new parts share the small reception area where there is free internet and fridge/coffee. My room was of a good standard, large and cleaned daily with sheets changed every other day. Cleaning was good. Free coffee in reception a
  4. sunview is 6 mins walk from junction of soi buakhow and soi diana - 5 mins by baht bus from south pattaya road. it is in my experience certainly not noisy if you book floor 4 or higher. it is a very good value for money and the open reception / seating/ cafe area is pleasant and relaxing. on thing is certain- it is much better value than sawadee on soi honey . sleep
  5. totally agree with the mook - take a suit from home that is the style and fit you feel comfortable with - then select a fabric from the best range the tailor has - ask for exact copy - agree price - sometimes its best not to bargain too much - perhaps ask for an extra pair of trousers for say an additional baht 300 - do the deal - pay a deposit of say 30% then go back for two fittings. worked for me for 18 years. my most recent best taylor is "jans fashion" soi buakhow. true - they do not make garments on the premises it is done in a factory - however in my experience the taylor shop
  6. yes had a few stays there in the 1990's - must say that the pool was the best in pattaya at that time - however even then standard rooms were showing their age and were overpriced - reason for staying was that thai air and eva gave two nights at reduced price at this hotel which was the only central one as far as i can remember - always the best thing about nova was its location and pool. look forward to a few reports. sleep
  7. never found a girl in soi honey that did not know where the nearest or best short time room was. try asking her. as it happens there is a half decent small hotel 30 metres down towards 2nd road from honey hotel on opposite side that the girls use - cant remember name though. sleep
  8. hi pen can recommend sunview as value for money. its on soi buakhow about 10 minutes walk (or 2 mins baht bus) south of soi diana inn. very clean with pool, cafe, in room safe, nice outdoor seating area, ifree lobby internet, nice efficient staff. baht bus passes hotel every 5 minutes i guess and takes you either south to south pattaya road or north to soi diana inn , lk metro, etc. for some it may be slightly out of the action as it is not surrounded by nightlife and is not directly served by the beach road/ second road baht bus circular route. for me that was a only minor pro
  9. some advice please. booked online in October directly with Eva LHR-BKK-LHR using credit card. since then my bank had to change my credit card due to some fraudulant transactions being made. the new credit card is of course a different number. as Eva require you to present your credit card at check in i now cannot check in as usual. would ask Eva london office however they have no e-mail address and so i am asking for advice from the board. thanks sleepwalker
  10. hi andy have stayed at the natural beach more than 7 times although not in the past 5 years. the pros are : good location as you can get to the hotel easily either from bach road or 2nd road via baht bus. small pool but adequate for the number of rooms. easy walk to mike's mall with atm. beach is across the road. sois 7/8, pattyalands, soi post office all within 10 mins walk. 2nd road 5 mins walk. good security at night. the cons are: think there was construction at the back of the hotel last year - probably hotel extension - dont know current status. a friend reporte
  11. hi chodeka yes stayed there about 3 years back and passed by there last month. it is a generally budget priced hotel with budget hotel facilities -small jacuzzi type pool on roof (could take 5 people max), small coffee shop at ground floor with a few tables. it was clean and cheerful and yes has a homely feel. room average size with usual cable,remote control a/c and ceramic tiled floor. i had a seaview (deluxe) room however ther are very few seaview room at the inn house now with high rise along soi 13. in my opinion even if the suite was very good you could get a better deal elsewh
  12. hi andy yes stayed in both - they would score very similar in my book - probably the breeze would be tops simply because it has a nice outside seating area from which you can watch the coming and going on the soi and it is slightly closer to 2nd road. rooms are clean both have lift(s), dont think you would get the large rooms at the breeze for 700b high season pehaps 800. would suggest j and p court may be better value although another 5 mins walk from 2nd road. sleepwalker
  13. hi fonz they do reply to e mails - imho a bit on the pricey side however it is very central if that is your requirement. rooms are as good as say areca - you do not however have areca facilities. bear in mind that the hotel entrance is right through the restaurant - would not bother some ; for me not ideal. sleepwalker
  14. JP_court@hotmail.com should work sleepwalker
  15. Alex replied quickly to two of my e mails but did not turn up at the airport to take me to Pattaya. A bit dissapointed as members reviews were generally good. Anyway it is no hassle to jump in a cab from the airport rank or take limo as I know the route and Town good enough to direct them to the Hotel. Will not try Alex again but there a few other recommended private taxis that i will try. Sleepwalker
