Chaba Hut

[Merangue 1]

Ok i am still looking at residence garden but i cam across another place that 'looks' pretty good on the website.

 

http://www.chabahutresortpattaya.com/?p=index

 

Has anyone ever stayed there? Anyone know of any Pro's or Cons? There are no reviews posted so no help there.

 

I dont yet know the prices for the place but will be chocking into it.

 

Thanks in advance for any input

I have never stayed there but it is in a good location on Soi Buckaow.

Hi,

 

This place is never mentioned in despatches. I've looked at the website and it is a bit outside my price range. If I stayed there it would be with a lady. Seems a really nice place. I see you mentioned Residence Garden on another thread and I feel it is more suitable if you are on a mongering mission.

I have been at it, but have not stayed in it. It is a good, substantial place. I don't know about the birds chirping, but a good deal of the traffic noise is blocked out. It seemed very quiet when I was there, and I would certainly want to know if they allow guests.

According to a post on *ahem* another forum they are guest friendly but whether that means 1, 2 or 10 i don't know.

 

According to the website

 

Rate are for 2 persons per room ( tax and service charge )

Third person extra charge of 300 baht inclusive of one extra bed.

Free of charge for child under 5 years

 

 

 

This is a reply i got when i asked about prices for November.

I stayed there last year. 1500/nite for a 1 br bungalow. There are apartments too...I think less than 1000 per night. Bigger bungalows too----expensive.

 

I brought back 2 girls without issues. No one ever talked to me about my guests. If I did not insist then the would not have documented the IDs.

 

The bungalows are warn..but not bad. patio area is great for a party. Pool is very nice, breakfast is decent.

I stayed there 5 or 6 times during 2005/2006.

 

I abandoned it after my stay last XMAS/New Year because, like most places managed by Thais, they have let the place get a bit run down and are not that good at fixing the little problems.

 

I only ever stayed in the apartments so all room related comments only apply to them and not to their bungalows.

 

PROS

====

Very friendly staff, if a little dim and forgetful at times.

Good sized rooms - but get one at the back of the apartment building so it overlooks the courtyard and pool. The rooms fronting on to Soi Buakhao can be noisy at times.

In room safes and safety boxes behind the reception desks.

Can get the room for 800 a night if you ask and say you don't want breakfast.

Good beds - room for 3!!

No guest charges.

Nice pool.

Good size TV.(cable only - not a great range of channels)

Good aircon.

 

CONS

====

As mentioned earlier if something is not working 100% then getting it fixed promptly was impossible. Took repeated requests. Typical problems were leaking aircon units, safes in rooms not working and leaks in the shower pipes meaning only half the water actually reached the shower head.

 

Don't book a taxi from them. Irrespective of the car type you order I invariably ended up with one of the staffs' mates driving me to the airport. Including one fucker who actually got lost on the way to the airport while I was asleep in the back. Woke up to discover he was on his way back to Rayong and only just made the plane.

 

Rooms need decorating and updating as they are quite worn now. Still useable though.

 

Linens and Towels getting threadbare.

 

Overall, it is OK and I would stay there again but having had a couple of trips trying alternatives I think you can get better value for the money - though not by much - if you are not fussed about the pool. I've now spent the last couple of trips at Tropical Berts and really like it there. Rooms about the same size but you get free tea and coffee in the room. Plus a DVD player to watch twisted porn on while you are with a girl (works for me!).

Cheers for that TB's is one of the ones i have emailed for info.

 

Major nono for me is things like faulty Safe's

 

Not that i've got anything of any real value anyway but i would like to be sure my Passport and cards are safe.

The safes were new in October 06 but they are at reception which is open air.
