Noise

[BeBri 0]

I would like to have a quiet room. I don't want to stay near noisy clubs. That being said, I also want to be near the action. Is this an impossible request?

There's construction going on on soi 13 but none on 12, I was there in March and always manage to get a good nights sleep in the BR.

Sky-Top fits the bill. One block from Beach Road, 2 minutes away from soi 6. Quiet location. www.skytoppattaya.com 450 and up. AC, TV, fridge and in room safe. You do have traffic on 2nd Road but with the AC on, I never heard it.

This is what other guys think about skytops

I stayed Skytop for a week earlier this yr in the big room and there was no in-room safe. IMHO I thought it (the room) was the pits and would never stay there again. Staff however were very pleasant. The "hotel" is obviously converted office space as all the fluros and marks on the floor where walls have been ripped up testify.

 

Correction to my last post; there was an in-room safe which did not function all that well.

 

This hotel was disgusting. Yes, the staff are quite friendly but the rooms are disgusting. Where to start. My room had the cable for the TV coming out of the ceiling in the middle of the room and draped over to the TV. The beds only had a comforter and a fitted sheet. No flat sheet. I am almost positive those comforters are not dry cleaned after every guest so imagine all the various body fluids you are sleeping in every night. My friend who also checked in had the "executive suite" with two rooms. Only problem with that is the aircon is in the living room and there is no circulation in the bedroom which was sweltering. Might be okay if you planned on sleeping and not getting much "sexercise". We checked in and promptly checked out. I moved to the Hotel Delomer (not sure on spelling) on Walking Street. Much closer to the action and not terribly expensive. Will stay there whenever in Pattaya unless I'm invited to stay with expatchuck

 

This was not a personal attack on your choice of lodgings. It was an honest report on my impression of that hotel. I have a pretty high tolerance and LOVE to save money. You have given me very valuable advice through the years including the suggestion for Parkway Plaza next to the Landmark for a late night massage after a long flight. This on my first trip to Thailand several years back. But, this place is the pits. My friend who is even more tight with money than I am was actually the one who wanted to bolt. He took two very small beds at flipper rather than a larger bed at Sky Top. He has stayed at some rather spartan places during his years in Thailand and he could not stomach this hotel. I am aware that the comforters are not cleaned after every guest but I'm pretty sure they are changing the sheets. Not sure about this at skytop. I'm wondering now what your 500 baht LT's look like.

 

Went to Skytop on Friday night, as mentioned.

 

"Medium" room (#103) for B.550. I guess I haven't done the cheap charlie before and am spoiled too much for travelling for business, so my expectations were way too high. In retrospect, I would have gladly paid up to 4x as much for something nice, my own fault for not doing so as there are certainly enough options to do so. Bottom line to me was that it wasn't much more than a short-time room with a TV, just bigger.

 

No safe in the room. Would have preferred a real bathroom with a real shower to partially-walled off space with a sink, toilet and shower hose on the wall. As DUSA says, at least the air con worked, cable worked (though odd variety of channels: CNN Headline News from US instead of CNN international; a Russian channel; various Indian channels; no ESPN or Star Sports) and there was a fridge, though I didn't use it. The BG I took back didn't seem to mind the place.

I really dont know how 1 person keeps recommending this place must get a kick back if someone actually stays there instead of sleeping in a bus shelter

Mr Churchill,brings up only one side of the Sky-top reviews. Check out the hotel section where many board members felt it was good value for the money.

Maybe try some of the little hotels at the very far end of walking street. It's actually quiet down there. Of course the quality of the hotels can vary, but if you're looking for both quiet and close to the action, that would be one area to try.

If u are looking for somewhere alittle bit out of the way where no noise can be heard stay at central pattaya hotel. www.centralpattaya.com

 

I stay here everytime I visit Pattaya, great hotel, massive rooms, pleasant staff. I have paid 700 baht for a superior room for July. They have a special promotion on with sawadee.com

 

It is only 2 minutes ride in a baht bus to SoiPattayaland and about a 5 minute walk if that to walking street.

 

Highly recommended hotel, plus the birds who work in the hotel gym are off the map

you can find many hotels in quite areas but unless you "see " were the room is and if and who your niebors are, don't know about noise!

I rather enjoyed the "screamer" I had next to me last trip, quite entertaining, byt the trip before had a bounder above me, very annoying, moved quickly.

be flexable, try a few new places, keep us updated.

cheers
