Which Hôtel

[TomYamKung 0]

Hi

 

I'm just back from Thailand. I would like to add some comments and reviews concerning my choices.

 

I first booked the Rockhouse : huge rooms, good price, very nice decoration and i'm a great fan of heavy metal . i arrived Pattaya 18th November at 8pm.

 

Check in was ok, but they try to put me in one of the small room instead of the big room i asked (and was confirmed) during the booking.

The girl told me that all big rooms were full. The size of the room being one of the reason of my choice i left.

 

I sms the boss to explain that i will not stay at his place. When i book a certain type of room and booking is confirm i like to obtain what was granted. That was not the case. I expected some excuses back from the manager of the place but nothing came. I guess that he don't give a shit concerning customers.

I admit that some errors can be made during the booking or that they maybe preferred to rent the huge rooms for more long terms than i stayed. I would have liked though to be warned of the decision or at least to have a few words from the manager. Nothing came.

 

Definitevely not a place to recommend.

 

 

So i was at around 8pm with all my stuff wih no rooms ...so i cross the street and asked Billabong.

 

A big room was available so i took it. The place is very nice. Large, comfortable, sunny during the day, great staff (not very quiet though for people who like to sleep early but that's Lk metro not soï Nowhere).

I booked for 2 night and extended for 2 more. on second morning though i was woken up by a phone call at 11am (that is hard ! ) because i could not stay in that room. An error has been made and the room was already booked for the next nights. The girl that commited the error was very sorry and many helped me find another place to stay. No big deal (except that 1 or 2 hours more sleep would have been appreciated).

 

I will definitely stay again at Billabong and this time book a big room via mail before coming.

I really appreciated the girls at the staff all being very nice.

 

A room at Armageddon's was found but not available until late afternoon so we tried look other places . I finally found Tim beer bar Soy 14 on second street. 800b a night . Large rooms each having "bubbling bath" (cannot really call this jacuzi). Can use the Pool of the Tim hotel. Just above a pool room and a gogo and ideal situation.

Some little problems with water pressure though and no dvd player (rented for 100 bahts a night)

We booked for 3 nights and extended till the end.

Very nice place. Have a look at it.

 

Thats' all hotel adventures for November 2009.

 

P.S. I saw the Lk Place soy Dianna have rooms for 1000b. Was full so, i'll probably to stay there afew nights next time.

Hi there Tom. I just wish that others would take heed of your response. It was good to read your comments and I learned a lot from it. Thanks

There's an excellent hotel called Konig Mansions run by a very affable German called Eddy. The rooms are large, safe in every room, free Wi-Fi and Sat. TV with DVD Player. His Web Site is www.hotelkoenig.com.
