Dear Members

Just wondering if anyone has had a recent stay at the Koenig or has any other relevant information about the Hotel its location, policies etc etc.

I have already checked the reviews and the Koenig's website.

Many Thanks

Dan

bigdan,

 

I posted the first review and the only thing that I can add is that they now have a small pool.  The place is quest friendly and is located on Soi Yensabai, less than a 10 minute walk to FLB.  I prefer the Marine Yensabai to the Koenig as its closer to FLB and the upper floors have a nice view and the room have balconies, but no pool.

Bigdan,

           I have booked in there for 3 weeks from 29th October. It was recommended by a friend who stayed there earlier this year and will also be back there at the same time as me. I always think return custom is a good recommendation particularly where there is such a wide choice as there is in Pattaya?

 

           When are you planning to be in Pattaya?

Will also be checking into the Koenig Hotel on the 29th of Oct. based on the reviews on this board.  Liked the location, price, and the pool.  Stayed at Dynasty Resort last year and preferred a closer hotel to the action this trip.  SB

Saigon,

           Doggie and I have a limo booked for 3:00pm from terminal 2 Bangkok Airport to Pattaya on 29th. Plenty of seats available if you are interested and you would be more than welcome to join us.

I stayed at the Koenig in May/June of this year. It is attractively priced for a new hotel and I didn't find the location a problem. It is about 10 mins from Walking Street and there is a motorbike taxi hut right across from the hotel if you need to travel across town. There is a gay bar area nearby but I didn't get my arse felt when walkng through! Better luck next time eh!

 

The rooms are of a good size with excellent airconditioning. You set the temperature and it has proper thermostat control. I took a corenr room for 800Bht which had a good fridge, king size bed and setee. The hot water and plumbing work well. The owner, Markus, is a good guy who will help out with any problems and all the staff are friendly. No joiners fee regardless of the quantity of visitors - just don't try to pull any of the bar staff when you have established a reputation as a butterfly.

 

There are 2 bars but only one was open when I was there. Markus is German so the beer is always cold and the food is good.

 

The only small complaints I had were that the safety deposit boxes are at reception and there is not a lot of sound insulation between the rooms.

 

I am going back there in October so I must have liked it.

Thanks for the invite Steveo.  What time does your flight land?  I'm on Cathay Pacific and they land at 10:30.  Just wondering what to do for 4 and a half hours?  Noticed that Thai Limo has a shuttle out at noon, so I might take that.  Thanks, SB

Saigon,

           I get in late on 28th and am staying at Asia Airport Hotel then heading back to airport to meet up with doggie who gets in at 2:55pm on 29th.

           Leave it up to you but we could have a drink and some lunch at the hotel (not far from airport) if you want.

           Being Thailand, anything may happen though. Last trip I had planned taking Thai limo only to find upon arrival they had no cars available. Finished up with another hire car which was pretty good but a bit more expensive. Thats why I decided to book and pay in advance this time the Pattayalivecam limo service.
