Hotel Help

[MrMango]

It seems like eternity since I have been in Pattaya (Last December), and I finally am able to return November 14 for 2 weeks or so.

 

I tried to make a reservation at the Sawadee Sea View, which sent me an email advising of availability, but requiring payment in advance for 14 days. This does not seem right, as I want to be able to move Hotels after a day or two if I am not happy with it. My requirements are:

 

Price: less than 1000 Baut/ Night.

 

Internet: Have in room broadband internet connection (Prefer Wired to Wireless) included in the room rate.

 

Guest Friendly of course.

 

Location: between Soi 6 and walking street and between Beach road and 2nd street so I do not have to crawl home too far.

 

Condition: Reasonably clean, not too noisy, as I usually BF a ST early in the evening, have dinner and finish by midnight, linens changed every day, with a restraunt (Breakfast included would be even better)

 

Payment: Payment in advance for the first day or two is O.K. but I resent having to pay in advance for 15 days, as I might want to move to a different Hotel.

 

As an additional incentive, I will buy the first person to advise me of a satisfactory hotel, I will buy them a beer on November 15. (I might buy everybody that responds a beer – I am a generous Cheap Charlie)

 

Thanx guys, and see you at the FLB for a beer on November 15.

I've stayed at the Eastiny Place, the Flipper House and the Bella Vista hotels located in the soi 7/8 area. I paid between 600-650 baht a night with a breakfast included at the Bella Vista. The other two I paid additional for the breakfast but they did have restaurants on site plus other nearby restaurants. I didn't notice any noise with the windows closed and the A/C on but my hearing isn't the greatest. Don't know about your internet requirement as I used the nearby internet shop located at the Sunshine hotel, they did have phones in the rooms.

I am not agreeing or Disagreeing with the Prepayment thing but I do understand there side of it as not getting a prepayment means a guy that reserves a room and does not show up screws up not only the Hotel owner but the guys looking for a room also.

 

I have prepaid many times and not had a problem you should not let that bother you now when the girl's start asking for Prepayment that's another story.....

Soi7 -

 

I do not mind prepaying for a night or 2, but I do not want to prepay for my entire stay, as I might want to move, and then have to hassle them for a refund...

As Pattaya is starting to get busy and you're arriving in about a week, it might be advisable to pre-pay for 2 or 3 days at the Sawasdee Sea View. That way, you'll have a hotel to stay at on arrival and if after a couple of days, you find something better, then you just up and go.

Correctomundo!

 

There's lots of reasons u might want a change of venue. As others have suggested, book it for a few nights and walk around. You probably will be able to extend your stay if u like it but chances are u will find something more to your liking.

Thanx valentinoxxx for the email address - This is the one that I used also.

 

Also thanx Nosrob for the website - I am going right now to check it out. The one thing that I saw was it did not list things as Internet Access, but I'll ask them in the chat section.

 

See you guys in 8 days...
