247 Boutique, Superior Room http://www.247boutiquehotelpattaya.com/ Overview: Nice hotel, right in the middle of Soi Honey. Special claim to fame (to me) is the glass-walled shower, big enough for two. The bonus is that if you're worried about what is happening in the room while you shower, the walls are glass, so you can watch the room ~and~ shower at the same time. :-) Location: Immediately east of Honey Body Massage on Soi Honey, directly across the street from Honey Inn and The Hive Restaurant. Off street parking for a small number of cars and motorcycles/scooters is available. Soi Honey is a sort of specialist area for 'sexy massage', so while it's fine for solo or adventurous couples, I personally would not consider it a family friendly location. There are better areas to stay if you're on holiday with the family. Room: This is specifically about the "middle" room, directly in front of the elevator when you get off of it. It is unique in that three walls are hallway walls and the fourth wall is an exterior wall. None of the walls are shared with another hotel room. Top floors the room would be 606 or 706, lower floors it would be 208, 308, 408, or 508. There is no balcony access, so my guess is that they are all non-smoking. Some have two twin beds, and some have the two twins pushed together to make a big king. One advantage of this standard room over the others is that the floor plan allows for a lot more open floor space. The sacrifice is that the closet space is reduced. With this room, you can sit on the sofa and not have your knees on the bed. Unfortunately, you will probably have to look at your suitcase on top of the minibar counter area. For me, it's a compromise I can live with to get the open floor space and the feeling of a little bit more spaciousness. Two waters are provided daily, but the mini bar items are all pay as you consume. Unlike the Acqua, none of the fridge items are free. There's a wall mounted flat screen TV, with an easy to access USB, and a more challenging to access HDMI so bringing your own tv programming is doable. I normally just use the data plan on my phone for any internet needs, but this time I connected to the hotel wifi for my laptop. I did not run a speed test on the connection, but it was plenty fast to torrent a US television show in a reasonably short time, and play my online computer game. Normal web browsing was equally responsive. Cleanliness: Clean and tidy, there were no issues. Facilities: There is a saltwater rooftop pool, and small exercise facility. Room service for food is available from 10 AM to 8:30 PM. Breakfast: While it's not up to its sister hotel Acqua standards, it's also not as expensive. There is a reasonable breakfast buffet available across the street in The Hive Restaurant. Hours are 7-11 AM. Customer Service: Staff were all very attentive and efficient. I had an issue with my air conditioning unit and got to test out the service staff. Maintenance was knocking on the door shortly after I reported the issue, and the problem was quickly resolved. Cost: The cost for a superior room (the standard room) is around 1200b. A little bit more if you want breakfast included, and a little bit less if you don't want to include breakfast. There's no extra charge if you invite over a single extra guest, but I think (though not certain) that they do charge a bit more if you are having two guests come visit you. Overview: I really like this hotel. I like the glass shower, and that there is ample room for two in the shower. Hotel rooms are in general small, or if not small, quite expensive. The transparent walls of the bathroom area allow for an extra feeling of spaciousness, even if it's not really there.

The rooms are in a vertical stack directly over the parking entrance. The bars are a couple of feet away from the windows, it's not actually a jail cell. :-)
