Penthouse Hotel

[gaijin 146]

Anyone for Flip Flops?

First thing I have to admit to is that I ‘Go Barefoot in the Penthouse hotel.’ Yep – I’ve come out the closet with this revelation. When I stay there I walk around my room (sometimes I stay in a suite) totally barefoot with my flip flops in the closet.

Another admission is that I’m a touchy kind of person. I like to touch things and I have touched things in my room (sometimes I stay in a suite) and have lived to tell the tale despite staying there on a regular basis for the last ten years. I wonder exactly what things I shouldn’t have touched but there you go.

For me this hotel is sexy, quirky and functional all at the same time. I’ve read that it’s a brothel but for me a brothel conjures up images of madams with whips, chains and handcuffs. I’ve never seem any of this stuff. I would say it’s more soft porn with the all the mirrors, love bars, love swing, flashing Christmas lights and porn channels etc. Sometimes I try a suite with a Jacuzzi which is also a plus.

Yet another admission coming up. I love Issan girls and with the extra nourishment on offer I don’t have to wine and dine them. Only joking I do wine and dine them and enjoy intellectual conversation with them, building up chemistry, before we get down to any action. As for the action they do tend to like the rooms (sometimes I stay in a suite), forgetting about the extra nourishment, and the action is normally pretty hot even if I do say so myself.

Other things to enjoy are. Free breakfast, free Wi-Fi, free tea and coffee in the rooms/suites, free cold towels, free candy in the rooms/suites and all over the hotel. The beds are extremely comfortable with mattress that are more than 10 inches thick and they are big enough for about six people. Two free joiner fees and security will make sure all joiners are old enough to be joining you and keep their ID cards. The restaurant offers a full menu 24/7 and room service is also available 24/7 with the same menu. Maids are on call 24/7 as well so you can wake up when you want and get your room cleaned whenever you want.

They are currently upgrading the front of the hotel to accommodate the sun deck and outdoor spa pool on the second floor. I’ve recently stayed in one of the second floor rooms (214) that leads to the sun deck. Both room and sun deck are outstanding.

So, don’t be put off by comments about an old hotel. It might be old but the owners are giving it a lot of tendering loving care. As for star rating it’s a boutique hotel and my understanding is that the normal hotel star ratings don’t apply. I could be wrong. For me the value is extremely good so I give it five.

Take a look khun kanchan and enjoy Pattaya.

 

It would be nice to get unbiased opinions from those who are not owners or affiliated with the hotel. You're a little obvious in who you are.

Can we summise from your post gaijin that you own a competing hotel in the area close to Penthouse and resent PH its custom? And that you are trying to blacken it's name?

Probably wrong and certainly unfair to do that!

 

Equally it's unfair to brand a new member as a fake.

 

I for one always had a really great time at the PH and agree pretty much agree entirely with Franniebax's report. ......It's 'allowed' to disagree and to 'agree' on here.

Define "unfair". A person joins the board, heads straight for a specific discussion about a certain business, and posts his very first post, which is a somewhat contrarian opinion to the standard opinion. He gives no background, no personal anecdote. In this case, he didn't even claim credibly that he had been in the Penthouse, or in Pattaya. He claims to know quite a lot about the hotel, for which he obviously would have to know quite a bit about Pattaya. Yet has never darkened the doors of the forum before and gives not a bit of background showing we should trust his brand new, very different and completely unverified presence as an objective reporter.

 

I think it's extremely fair to raise a couple of flags. Five people you "know" say one thing, one person you've never before seen says something else. The sixth person could be right, and the others wrong - but you will naturally consider the sources.

 

It's all indirect evidence about the source and how he hustled into this forum JUST to get into this thread -- but it *is* evidence and very fair to summarise it.

Anyone connected to the hotel would know that they did, perhaps still do have handcuffs for sale in the top rooms..........I would have thought that someone connected with the place would not state the opposite. And there's a difference between raising a flag and stating. 'it's obvious that 'FB' is an owner or affiliated with the hotel'.

 

He can only deny it, which would mean nothing to those who have already judged him..... or prove his honest credentials by continuing to contribute to the board that's been so unwelcoming of his opinion.

 

If it was me........To be judged that, as my first post on here was a positive one, against the general negative trend of the thread, that 'that' is reason enough to have my motives and my honesty questioned....Well I don't think I'd hang around.

 

We'll see.

The right girl and the right room in the Penthouse and you're a millionaire!!

 

Long live the Penthouse for those that enjoy living!

 

............I agree not for everyone on the board.

 

I agree with your three statements 100%. Many times I've had the millionarie feeling and I keep going back just to get it again. I like it so I do it as often as I can. But in saying this I've also sat outisde the corner shop and drank 7/11 beer with friends many times. I've been in Go-Go Bars during happy hour, drank 2 for one and eaten free food. I've walked for 20 minutes ot get the 10 Baht taxi to Jomtien. Like many living here I have to watch my money but sometimes I like to treat myself and do. I have to admit that I quite enjoy it when my Mrs. decides to spend a few days in her village. As much as I love her I'm sorry to admit that I use these occassions to treat myself. I think I've tried most places, Soi 6, Jades, Bliss, Wilcome Inn, Soapy Massages, Soi Honey etc. etc. Although I've had some very good expereinces many have been too mechanical. To me they are similar to a visit to the Dentist for a tooth ache fix or the Doctors with an itch that needs scratching. So rather than just spend an hour getting fixed I like to chill out for three or four days. Sure I spend more but this is what I like to do.

I once shagged a girl in the PH pool. We situated ourselves in a corner so that we could view anyone coming down the spiral stairs. We discovered later that day, that what we thought was an underwater mirror was infact a viewing window from the ajacent pool room.......'If 'anyone was in there they would have had a great view of atlas' white arse pounding away.

That was you? Not sure if this could be described as racy content or not? But no doubt someone will come on and say they found your body fluids in the pool months later.(lol)

There is no 10 baht taxi to Jomtien Frannie, hasn't been for much more than 10 years. The Penthouse is well-known for engaging in unethical business practices. In fact, in some circles it's known as The SPAM WORD hotel. I'm glad they removed the handcuffs from the rooms, but they should have focused on the bugs. Don't you think?

Can assure you there is Rhino or was up until a couple of years ago. They leave from the end of South Pattaya Road between the school and Walking Street by the traffic lights. You get on and when the taxi (Baht Bus) is full, and people are hanging off the back, the taxi heads for Jomtien. You get off and pay. Last time I paid 10 Baht as I was with another farang who would never pay more. Maybe you can check it out tomorrow to see what the current rate is and then let us all know the score. Dont' you think?

 

Enjoy your evening.

i just got back from 2 weeks stay in Jomtien Beach, and indeed, the Baht bus is only 10 baht from Jomtien to the stoplight in Pattaya, which is only a one minute walk to Walking Street. The return to Jomtien is only 10 baht also, you pick it up on the opposite corner of where you got off, just line up and get on the next baht bus, it will leave when it is full. I am as non-Thai as you can get, as are most of the tourist, and 10 baht is the price

 

RHINO - FOUND THE ABOVE POSTING JUST FOR YOU. PROVES THE RATE WAS STILL 10 BAHT IN FEB 2010. I DIDN'T WRITE IT. YOUR STATEMENT ABOUT 10 BAHT AND MORE THAN 10 YEARS IS INCORRECT. HOPE YOU DON'T MIND ME POINTING THIS OUT TO YOU AND ALL THE READERS.

Oh, the driver's on the bahtbuses i used in November must have been senile then, because they only charged me the long gone price of 10 Baht to Jomtien.

[cicero1520 19]

I paid 10 baht too, so 10 baht it is!

Penthouse Hotel

 

i would like to know about this hotel .. does this hotel rate as 4 star or 5 star .. if any one know any details pls let me know

 

Maybe 1 star at best.

[Guest Fatboyfat]

Far too generous !! :-)

[ttk 236]

I stayed there 1 time several years ago so my review may not be current.

I would say 2-3 star at best. The rooms were setup in a brothel style with toys and accessaries around and available to buy.

The key chain provided had several extra keys on it. I figured out one went to the handcuffs in the room but never did figure out what all of them were for.

It is now in an area that has become an extension of boyz town.

[sick buffalo 15]

2 - 3 star. The rooms are all very unique though and the girls loved them. I used to be a regular at Penthouse House hotel and have stayed there on a tleast ten occasions. I haven't stayed there after 2007.

 

Makes sense for you to check out the place for 1-2 nights and then decide if you like the place.
