Budget Affordable Hotel / Guesthouse Options LK Metro Area

[up2u2]

Hi PA Members here is a list of some detailed reviews on budget / cheaper Guesthouse / hotel options mainly around the LK Metro area Central Pattaya. I have absolutely no affiliation with ANY of these businesses. Try them out or use the reviews to get an idea what you can expect from this style of accommodation generally.

 

I have included one small hotel in North Pattaya and also an inexpensive small hotel in Soi 4 (Nana Plaza) Bangkok.

 

Check current prices for accommodation mentioned in Reviews. Of course actual prices will change over time but the savings should remain comparative.

 

I did have a little fun along the way in the Reviews.

Thank you for checking out this thread and I hope it gives you a little help in choosing this style of accommodation. In my experience Price doesn't always reflect room facilities and service. I have stayed at medium brand hotels at 1400 Baht and walked across the street to Guesthouse style accommodation and found far superior facilities and service at 700 baht. Also I have viewed Guesthouse style accommodation that were dreadful at 600 baht and across the road is beautiful, comfortable Guesthouse style accommodation at the exact same price.

Guesthouses really are trial and error. Was impressed you found Happy Inn- it's my Bangkok diamond in the rough

I've always found Up2u2's accommodation reviews excellent, & appreciate the time he takes to produce them.   I just wish he would post many more, there are so many accommodation choices throughout Pattaya & Jontiem

Hi Wayfarer

         As you can appreciate electric bills are mainly based on AC usage and that is based on how much you use it but roughly about 1,500bht

Some advice Wayfarer, if you want to rent a room by the month, make sure they have government charges for the electric bill, if not avoid them as you will be getting done, most places charge about 7 Bt per unit, government charges are app half that.

Hi Wayfarer

         As you can appreciate electric bills are mainly based on AC usage and that is based on how much you use it but roughly about 1,500bht

As I stated the variation and usage is up to you our rate is one of the lowest rates and that is why it is clearly stated on our website as alot of guesthouse may charge very high rates as they try to cover there common area electric costs, The average bill can be as low as 700bht and as high as 4,000bht as I said it is totally up to you but we can show you the meter reading both on arrival and departure.

So you won't be charging more than the government rate for electric which is no more than 4bt per unit, if that is the case then good on you, yes, you get guesthouses charging as much as 7bt per unit, with lower monthly rental charges, so the customer thinks he/she is getting a good rental price, then gets a shock when he/she sees the electric bill.

Any word on Destiny Hotel? Thinking about staying for a week in Sept.

Any word on Destiny Hotel? Thinking about staying for a week in Sept.

 

I have stayed at Destiny hotel although not under the current management - very nice rooms for thje low price

[roknrob]

Pinning onto this thread, can anyone recommend a Guesthouse with 100% blockout curtains as Im very sensitive to light and was awoken to the sun at 7.30am last stay at Soi Honey. This spoils the vaykay when you dont get to sleep most nights till 2-4am. Budget around 700 in LK area.

[devee8]

Hi Roknrob

        I am happy to show you our rooms to ensure they work for you.

[frawg]

Had devee8 posted his place or do we guess, am I missing something? Our place is hard to find? ??
