Royal Palace or Welcome Plaza

Please help me out. Which is a better hotel in terms of room, service and guest friendliness? Thanks.

Neither! They're both run down.

 

Similar price range hotels nearby include Areca Lodge, Sandy Springs, Dynasty Inn. Check the review page for details.

Basically in Pattaya, all you need is a room that is halfway nice. Clean, TV, nice bed and a friendly staff. You can find these for 750 Baht and under.

 

I'm one not to spend the extra on a room, saving that for other things I'd like to purchase or do.

 

Baybreeze, Queen Vic and the Lord Nelson all fall into this catagory and I'm sure there are many more.

 

 

Use this as an example of what I'm saying...

Welcome Plaza is an unfriendly rip off joint, and run down last I experienced. I remember the sign over reception that says "No Child Prostitution allowed at this hotel" or something. It's a real dump. That said, the pool in the back of the hotel is nice. But the rooms smell just old, and old carpet, knicks and scratches on all the furniture. A real turn off. Anything is better than this place.

 

Last I was there I had a room reserved, arrived to check in, ready to pay with credit card for my 650B special rate. The assistant manager swipes my card for 650B and then says she must take another swipe charge for 1500B for deposit. I said why, as I've been here before 1 time and didn't have to pay that. Very mean manager and rude this time. Anyway, I decided I did not want to stay then and I could understand her backtalking in Thai to the other ladies behind the counter. She said fine and crossed out the 650B receipt with a big X and wrote canceled. She gave me the receipt and said I will not be charged. I was charged and had no success getting it removed. This is a hotel you go to if you don't really care where you stay. The quality is not worth the price.
