Sandy Spring hotel

[Alleycat]

stayed in The Sandy Spring hotel on my November trip for 7 days.

This is a nicely appointed hotel, clean and well serviced by the cleaning staff, who were efficient and polite. The bed was comfortable in the Standard room with balcony that I stayed in. and my view of the opposite hotel was not unpleasant. There are also rooms with seaview and swimming pool view for extra. My room had a Flat-Screen Colour TV with Cable, Individual Air-conditioning, Refrigerator, Telephone, Wake-up Call, Internet Connection, Room Service, and Bathroom with full range of amenities such as hairdryer, bathtub, and cold-hot water supply. There is no in-room safe and the safety deposit is located at reception and has restricted access (cannot remember the times, but from mid A.M. to late evening). There is no breakfast included

They also have a small swimming pool, which seemed somewhat tight if a group of guests decide to use it at one time

The lobby was well presented and well maintained and the reception staff were proffesional and helpful when required. There is no joiner fee and I found that each night my guest was not requested to leave or even show her ID card.

The Sandy Spring is located at:- 494 Soi 13 Pattaya Beach Road

(Entrance also from Pattaya 2nd Road)

 

 

In my opinion this is a good hotel, but in this class I prefer The Areca Lodge, which is cheaper, has 2 large swimming pools, small gym, includes breakfast and for a better price you can get in-room safe, although the Areca does not have in-room internet access.

Good review, thanks for the information

[Matrix]

As allways good review.

You are a top star:)

[Kadafi]

Stayed there about 3 or 4 times now, the rooms over looking the pool i always ask for rather than the street. The staff there are really friendly and i also like the location of Soi 13.

 

Cheers for the review Alan mate....

Spent 20+ days there last November in a deluxe room (or someting), the room was basically just 2 normal rooms merged together. Did not really need 2 bathrooms and all the space so I would not reccomend the bigger rooms. My room had access directly to the pool area which was a plus. The service was good and my only complaints are:

 

- no in-room safe

- expensive wireless internet (which also was not stable)

- pool area is a bit small (I belive there are 2 pools not 1 as mentioned above)

 

I also bought 4 suits from the tailer across the street and the quality and service was just fine.

 

Overall I thin SS is a good hotel and can reccomend it to anyone

They have a lovely lobby. remember starting a Soi 6 run or a bar crawl with you, peter, matrix and kadafi while meeting up there. Good times.

I usually stay there, location is central to all of the action. It is clean. There has been some construction on the rooms facing the soi.

 

I have thought about trying other hotels, but I really like the staff there. The woman who works the front desk during the day is always on top of her game.

Good report....thanks

[King Cobra]

I like this place. I'll have to check it out. Thanks for the review.

[ABADI]

How much they take for internet per day ???

[valer]

Nice place. You won't find it listed on many websites. I guess they don't pay for recommendations.

 

Internet 60 baht for 30 minutes, for wireless in room or their computers in lobby. Pretty high.

 

One pool, it's on 3rd floor. Coffee bar in lobby.

 

I agree the boss lady at the front desk is a very efficient sweetheart.

That looks very nice Alley, i like the look of the bathroom as the bathroom is very important to me when staying in hotels, i think it is a toss up between this or Pattaya Bay Resort when i come back for me hols...Cheers

[Hardeep J]

the beds are very comfortable with a soft mattress, and the location factor is a big winner for me.

 

highly recommend it

[Chezney]

I am booked to stay there in February.. looks a nice clean place in a great location.

[altec123]

Looks like a good place to stay. I need another place since the Whitehouse Condotel is getting bad reviews now.

[derekh]

Hey fellows, stayed there on one of my trips and tried to make a deal for a month stay but they would not budge on the price, has anyone ever got a monthly rate and at what cost? Thanks

[irishlas]

The only thing that puts me off this hotel is that they dont have safes in rooms

[ksabigdog]

stayed in Suite once was ok expected a bit more. Location however is one of my favorites

[valsven]

i stayed there early this year but will be taking my laptop this time. any ideas to the wifi rate?

[Chuk Wa]

Q- Do the rooms come with stand up showers? also still no safes in the room?

 

Cheers
