I would like to disagree with your point about extra charges for utilities. In Thailand, the utility cost vs labour cost is FAR higher than in the western world.

 

This charge is really standard in Thai for long time stays,

 

Other than that, your post is spot on.

 

I'll double that. Most long-stay places charge for electric and water -- I've never been to one that did not. I've stayed at places with higher rates and some with lower. The charges were very reasonable.

Thanks for all the insight and pics.

 

I have one, what is probably a ridiculous question, but I'll ask it anyways as I have no idea how that works. Roughly, how much does the elecrticity and water end up costing for a month after all is said and done. I know it depends on usuage levels, but I am after a ballpark guesstimate here. Are we talking 1000s or 100s of baht for a single, average user in a standard room? Related to that, how does the tracking of that occur? Is the usuage transparent or can they more or less claim any amount they please without anyone being able to verify the amount?

 

Thanks for the insight.

I stayed there for 1 month in January, total bill was around 21,000 baht, so around 2000 baht for utilities. All in all a great place to stay, great location, very clean, and very friendly staff, they were very helpful. Nice pool on the roof-top and good restaurant there also, very little construction noice. I would definitely stay here again.

1. I would like to know the same (standard room, one month).

 

Also:

 

2. What is the cost of extra fresh linen?

 

3. What pricerange/quality of the restaurant (like, how much is breakfast)?

 

4. I understand that it's not recomended to get a room beneath the gym, because of the noise. Do you have any other comments regarding room placement (sun, noise, for example)?

 

BTW, great photos :)

 

Thanks!

When I stayed in August, my water/electricity bill was under 3,000 baht.

It's one of the best hotel restaurants in town. It's an offshoot of Cherry Restaurant on Third Road. I was a fan of Cherry before PBR opened. The menu is very similar. Breakfast, however, is only above average. The standard breakfast is 110, I believe. They have a good minute steak and eggs for a little more. I do recommend heading over to Continental Bakery for breakfast, which is fairly close. Lunch and dinner are better in terms of quality and value.

Can the electricity be controlled/tracked, or do we have to trust the staff?

 

Thanks for info regarding the restaurant.

It's monitored by the staff. You can ask to check the balance every day if you wish.

Every day sounds good. Then I could enter the values in Excel and make some good stats based on a set amount of aircon, TV and shower usage. Kidding :clap2

I would propably check it when check-in and maybe every week :)

 

Thanks!

Can anyone who's stayed in the standard room tell me what the bathrooms are like please - especially the shower?

 

The website says "walk in shower", so I know that it isn't over a bath, but doesn't say if it's one of those little square cubicles or, as seems to be more usual in Thailand, just in the corner of the bathroom with a shower curtain to stop splashes.

 

I ask because those cubicles are small and square and I'm large and round. :P

The showers in the standard room do not have a tub. There is a slight incline from the main bathroom floor to the shower area, to help keep the water in the shower area. It's similar to what you describe, but with more space.

Just for more information, here are pics from the Mini-suite as well. I was there for a two week stay in April and the hotel is great.

I was on the side with the construction, and I really couldn't hear anything in the room. Try to get an even number room to put you on the quiet backside of the hotel.

 

Breakfast was included in my stay, including another one for any "guest" you may have, but I can't remember if that just came with the mini-suite or not.

 

I never used the pool, but it looked pretty nice.

 

The location is fine, right across the street is the new mall, 5 minutes to walk there - excellent Starbucks in there. I probably won't stay there again, as it is kinda expensive, but for my first trip, it was great, before I knew prices and locations.

aguy2006,

I was thinking of staying 30+ days in a standard room. So, even numbered rooms is on the quiet side of the hotel (also include standard rooms)? Would be nice to have it confirmed.

 

Yes, I know that the standard room is mall, but that don't bother me :)

My only problem with this place is this:

 

Low Season, (15 April to 31 October) Standard Room, Internet Daily Rate 999.00 baht per night, 1 or 2 persons, King size bed with private balcony. Plus, we will run a weekly promotion, for every six (6) nights paid you will receive one (1) night free. The rate includes: American or Asian Breakfast Plan for one (1) or two (2), daily room cleaning, fresh linen, bottled water and free WiFi and Internet. A 500.00 bat per night refundable security deposit (capped at 3,000.00 baht) is required upon check-in.

 

 

What hotel asks a 5oo baht a night security deposit?

 

Wierd......I will pass on this place.....

Currently, we have both smoking or non-smoking standard rooms available for the dates you requested. Average electric is about 1,600.00 per month. All room charges are for 1 - 2 people

 

My son is also joining me from England and the following is the reply for his booking

We take VISA and Mastercard. No deposit is required to hold the reservation.

 

Sound good to me as I will not be spending all my time in Pattaya but to have a perminant room in patts for $20nz a night saves all the mucking around.

Yes, the even numbered rooms all have a view of just trees. I can't guarantee that it is super quiet, but my friend stayed on that side, and didn't have any problems with noise. It wasn't really loud on my side either, but sometimes I could hear the construction. I wake up early everday anyway, so it didn't really bother me.
