I stay there now. It ticks all the right boxes but one for me:

 

A very hard bed. I cannot sleep in it. Tonight I had to move to the sofa at 4 in the morning to get some sleep. So I'm moving out today.

 

Other than that it is great, maybe best pool in town.

A hard bed eh? I hate hard beds, it seems most hotels in Thailand have hard beds.

Yes, most are on the firm side of the scale, some on the rock side. I have stayed in about 20 hotels in Thailand - so far 3 hotels are on my black list for having a rock bed:

 

Darjelin (bangkok)

Baipho (Phuket) - I suspect this may be because their studio suites is built on - cement

August Suites - pattaya

 

I now stay in Tims Boutique Hotel. Firm bed, yes. But with spring action. Comfy for me.

Decided to stay at the Sabai resort again, hard beds as well

 

Most comfy bed i have had in pattaya is at the baywalk on beach road

 

Someone should a business in pattaya selling soft beds

I stay Tim's Boutique hotel now. Comfy bed.

 

I talked to a hotel manager in Bangkok about this, he runs a small hotel with great beds. He said they had a choice between the 2K baht "rock" bed and the 7k baht bed. They chose the "expensive" one, and that was proven to be a wise business decision . My guess - many hotels are built by Thais (that are used to and like hard beds) or people that save money on the wrong stuff. Buying a 20K baht LCD TV and a 2K baht bed is not the right call.

I stayed in the Sabai Empress for two nights. First night I had just flown in to the country, so slept quickly. 2nd night I couldn't sleep at all the bed was so fucking hard. However stayed at the Residence Garden the rest of my stay and while the bed was more tolerable it doesn't compare to my Simmons Beautyrest Cal King pillowtop bed at home. Residence Garden's bed was also only a Queen size only, not big enough for a 3some.

The LK hotels use soft beds. The cost is a little more than most hotels in town, but for some it's worth it.

i will be there from august 29 to september 19, at 1500 baht perday for a upper pool side room ;

the location is great : not far from soi buakhao, not far from beach road, Carrefour and Tops are within some minutes.

I sent off an email to enquire about staying there soon.........very disappointed to not have a reply after 6 days now?

They do have a phone number, but I prefer to book by email.....as I did back in May when I stayed at the Sabai Empress.

 

Has anyone else booked August Suites by email?

I sent them an email when in Bangkok, telling them I would book for a week at 1600 baht with breakfast, as that was what a friend told me was the "going rate".

 

They phoned me a couple of hours later telling me I could get it for "1600 if pay every day - or 1500 baht if pay for 7 days." I said I could pay 7 days, but would have to see the room first.

 

On arrival, they did not offer me to see the room, and I was both too tired and hung over to insist. So I put up the cash for 7 days + 2000 baht deposit (for something else).

 

Bad mistake, could not sleep in the rock hard bed. Told them in the morning they had to get me a softer bed or I had to change hotel. Was told to come back later. Later they told me they had removed the plastic cover, should make softer... Not very, still rock hard.

 

At 10.30 PM i walked by the reception, some reception manager asked me if bed was OK. "No, it is still rock hard. I will move out in the morning - and I expect a refund for the remaining days."

 

"We offer you the Executive Suite. I think bed is better there."

 

OK, so I move. Nice, big room. Same bed. At 4 in the morning - I moved tired to the sofa and finally got some sleep.

 

After breakfast the next day, I brought my bag down to check out. Had made a booking at Tim Boutique.

 

"Sorry, we can only refund the 2000 baht deposit."

 

"Of course you will refund the 2000 baht deposit, that is my money!" Then I started on a lengthy history on buying a gold necklace that turned out to be gold plate. Would he return it and expect a refund? When he was offered another that "surely was gold", but also turned out to be gold plate, would he then expect to get the money back?

 

He just looked tired at me. No go. So I asked to talk to the manager. "She not in." "Get her on the phone." "She in meeting in another part of Pattaya." "When is she back?" "At one o clock." "OK, I will be at the pool, come get me when she is back."

 

At 12, he came up to the pool and said: "You pay 1600 for the standard room and 2500 for the suite, we refund the rest." Part of me wanting to tell him that the suite was offered me as a attempt to fix a problem - but the sane me just nodded OK.

 

This would have been a fantastic hotel - had they had some sleepable beds. I understand some like it rock hard, but I suspect most do not.
