Pattaya Blue Sky Review

[Ziplee]

I’ve stayed here 5 times and wanted to give a more in-depth Review. 

 

Location -  Located on Soi 5, 130 meters from 2nd Rd. and 230 meters from Beach Rd. Three Money exchanges and 7-11 on the 2nd Rd end and one Money Exchange and Family Mart on the Beach Rd end. Numerous Beer bars, massage Shops, and Restaurants on the 2nd Rd. end. Take a walk left on 2nd road and you have Sabadee Soapy massage and Central Marina shopping Mall less than 10 mins. Go right on 2nd and your less than 10 mins. from Soi 6.

 

Rooms - Rooms are 33 sqm. Plenty of room for a single guy or you and a newly acquired LLT GFE. Aircon is excellent. The bathroom is a good size with a shower big enough for 2 with Rain shower head. Plenty of Hot water. Good closet space with Hangers, umbrella, slippers and electronic safe. Good sized desk area for Coffee set, Kettle with a large TV on the wall. You get a table with 2 chairs. The Refrigerator was a small one but kept things cold.

 

 

Bed and Balcony - Bed is large, maybe a king or 2 doubles together. It’s not spongy soft or hard as a brick. The mattress has a little give to it. I slept fine and the TG’s liked it. The Balcony was big and had a table and 2 chairs. Big enough for a smoke, have a meal or just sit and yek yek with your new GFE.

 

Pool - Rooftop Pool wasn’t huge but had a good view. Good loungers and poolside service for drinks and food. 

 

Restaurant - On the first floor, past the check-in desk was the open-air restaurant. The Breakfast Buffet was outstanding to me. Plenty of breakfast items not only for me, but the LT had plenty of Thai choices. 7 am to 11 am. It was around 196 thb per person. The lunch and dinner menu had a variety of Thai and Western dishes. My favorite item to get was the Club sandwich with French Fries, around 180 with coke. You can get most of the menu delivered to your room for a 15% room service charge.

 

Overview - The one big plus for me is the staff. Within a day or two, the staff knows you, from the housekeepers to the managers. They always smile and help you with anything from information on local areas to something you need in your room. If you come back 6 months later, they recognize you. This is a good location for Soi 6 mongers and baht buses to WS. Motorbike taxis on both ends of the soi can whisk you LK Metro for around 40 or 50 baht.

 

Price - 800 thb per night for low season. 950 to 1100thb per night for high season.

 

Highly Recommend, especially for Soi 6 mongers.

Thanks for the review. Any shade/umbrellas around the pool area?

Some shade in the afternoon, I didn't see any umbrellas.

Something to add to review

You have to log in WiFi each time. I use Data on my phone and WiFi for tablet. Had no problem with WiFi but I wasn't streaming anything.

The hotel is very good !! But you forget a important thing: They have a normal key for the room-door and also a small key for electric in room and that together with a big Plastik sign(roomnumber) is on a keyring. The keyring is meltet for not can take off!!! Everything else is perfect!!

Yes, I did forget that. Funny thing is, the first 2 or 3 times I stayed there, I was one of those guys that took the power key off the ring and ran the aircon 24-7. Now you can't.

Yes, that would work.  Now I don't mind the power key on the ring. 

My second trip, I came back so horny and wanted to bang this TG quick, I left the key in the door. The next morning I spent 15 minutes looking for the door key until I gave up and went to the front desk. 

I knew the Front desk girl, as soon as she saw me, she handed me the room key. She said the Bell Boy saw my key in the door and was going to knock but he heard us in the room and didn't want to disturb us.

Now with the power key on there, I always know where my key is.

Last time I was there in March they had those garden type umbrellas.

Thanks for the review. This hotel is my usual go to accommodation whenever I'm there. The major points for me are the rain shower (I hate bathtubs) and the staff. I'm always surprised that they are the same staff as the previous time and they always remember you.

Umbrellas. They will suffice. Stop me burning to a crisp, or keep the rain off me, as the case maybe

Sorry for the stupid question but does the Blue Sky charge a joiners fee or are guests free of charge? I tried emailing the hotel but have yet to hear back from them.

No joiner fee. Book for 2 people, it's the same price as one. In case you get an LLT.

Couple of questions: 

1) Is it easy to get the Baht bus from that location to places like WS?

2) Is it the kind of road that would get flooded if it rains?

[Ziplee]

To get to WS, Take a right when you leave the hotel. Beach Rd is 230 meters, catch baht bus to WS.

I've never seen it flood.

I think they put some kind of topper on the mattress.

Really good review, thanks.

Does the hotel still have a functioning gym?

Not as of Jan 2019

[JD84]

I think this review just made up my mind. Thanks. Will get Blue Sky booked 

[Sam Beckett]

I tried to book direct but they said they only take bookings via Agoda and other booking sites. Is this what others have experienced? 

I'm thinking this or page ten due to the renovations.

Yes, Agoda has pretty good pricing and hotels.com is another.

I think this is a great hotel for anybody wanting a hotel.  However, think it was mentioned in other site and I ran into this when inquired in March that it sometimes hard to get booking as seems to get booked out quick.  Also, have not checked for low season, but that 1100b rate seemed bit low to what was quoted to me in March.  Maybe it a difference in which booking site used(I used hotels.com).  Would be good to know which booking site gives you best rate.
