April Suites or KTK Royal Residence

[paparas]

Hi guys,

 

I am looking to book for my trip in Oct and I am between these two hotel/apartments (past the Central road), price wise they are close (32$  vs 34$)

 

- April Suites

- KTK Royal Residence

 

and as an alternative

 

- Sunshine Hotel & Residences

 

My undestanding is that I will need to hire a scooter if I want to be completely independent as they seem to be a bit out of the way/path of baht bus routes, so I am wondering is it worth staying there after adding the cost of a scooter rental also (I assume that is around 1500 thb p/w)?

 

Ideally I would have liked to book at Areca (or around that area) but the construction work next to Areca worries me and  from what I 've seen the LK in Soi Diana is a bot out of my price range. I am looking for a decent room with wifi (must) and a pool not that much bothered about breakfast

 

Any thoughts/ideas are welcomed.

I've just booked KTK for October like you

 

I started a thread about it and everyone had good stuff to say about it

 

I don't think it's that out of the way,someone said its only 5-8 min walk to soi 6

Same as you, all feedback from friends for KTK was positive so my only concern is distance to LK metro.  I know its close to Soi 6 but my play areas are mainly LK metro and Soi Diana hence my question about renting a bike (which is not my preffered option nor the safest in Pattaya   )

Stayed at the April Suites in June in one of their superior rooms.

Its in a block located at the intersection of central and 2nd road.

The number of bahtbuses is not as dense as on BR, but i didnt have any problems finding any.

Soi 6 is approx 6-7 mins walk away.

Good thing about location though is that its a bit away from all the noise produced downtown as well,

so if you are a light sleeper that wont keep you up.

Stayed at KTK for a month from June to July went to Lk metro and soi diana most days Scooter taxi's right out side ktk go to lk and Soi diana 50 bhat  very good hotel / appt

scooters are super dangerous, if you don't mind the risk they are quite fun too.

 

I err on the side of caution myself, and stick to baht busses and walking, no place in the fun zone between soi 2 and walking street and beach road and 2nd road  is hard to get to by baht bus.

 

april suites is a super clean and well run hotel, they do charge for a second girl which I object to, otherwise a great place, wonderful rooftop pool...

I have to admit I havent reviewed KTK Royal Residences but but make a booking and take a look at it.

Good to know that, its not a bad option

I do mind the risk of a motorbike accident (specially in Thailand ) and I am very much so favorable of the baht bus / walking / motorbike taxi. As for april suites I very much think that its like its sister hotel august suites (where I stayed last year) and although I did had a good experience I would like to consider/get to know othe places too but it certainly is a good backup.
