Looked clean, nice bed, appeared to be good amenities in the room (dont understand the comment who said otherwise)? very friendly staff, I understand why it attract the Korean market. Personally I would chose another location, its not like Terminal 21 has a big pull factor. Hotel reviews are clearly your thing👍 Cheers.
Many thanks, Anders. I know what you mean about the location. Not many people visit Pattaya just to go to Terminal 21! Having said that, it's on the Baht Bus route, so it's really not difficult to get to Beach Road and back, if that's what you prefer! I've done quite a lot of hotel reviews on the channel. Not so many recently. Maybe I should do a few more on my travels. Anyway, thanks again for your comment!
@hue008x Yrs, I saw the end of that fire at The Edge. Luckily nobody got hurt. Unfortunately, there have been times when others haven't been so lucky 😞 Thanks for commenting.
What a Basic Room thats 3 star … Just down the road just two minutes away is a few Resort Hotels with Fantastic Water gardens , Swimming Pools , With pool side villa’s With its own Gym , Massage Rooms, games room, Private parking and Guarded Entrance . Tea and Coffee facilities, Cafe , 24 hr room service.. all for Half the price of that Hotel.
Thanks, that's a good question. I don't know the correct answer, but having lived here a few years I think it's ok to give 20-40 baht per bag or for showing you the room. On this occasion I gave extra because they were kind enough to let me film them! However, I know many people, especially those on vacation, who would give much more. I think give whatever you are comfortable with, I'm sure they'll be appreciative. Thanks for raising the point!
Nice review. I think they make up how many stars. I have had it before when you book an Agoda discount room and they put you far away or worst view. Gets those rooms used. Nice pan shot of the bed. As for the little friend , sure I have heard that phrase somewhere before lol. Drinking on the job too lol. Won't mention Villa Park 😉
Looks like a decent place to stay, especially if you are Korean and like to hit the six - convenient. It was nice not to see many guys eating breakfast with their barfines. That is always somewhat sad to see guys proudly parading paid company - as though it somehow validates their masculinity rather than highlight the fact that they need to pay for it. The food selection for breakfast looked good, though the juices at these buffets are seldom natural - even in places like Hilton. Did she actually say that room service was 24H - except at night? I love that concept. This video was a bit expensive to make, I expect, so I hope it gets the views.
Thanks, David. Yes, definitely a decent place to stay, especially if you are looking for something a little bit different, but still in a great location. Breakfast had a bigger choice than I could show as it was quite busy there. I probably paid 'top dollar' but that's par for the course the week before Christmas. I think if a channel has 50,000 subscribers they may get free hotel stays. So only another 49,900 or so to go!!
Thanks, David. Definitely a nice place. I'd give the staff 5 stars for sure. Whether all the rooms are, is a bit more debatable. But if you can get it for a good price, it's worth a try!
My honest answer is I think it's ok. I have stayed there several times, but not recently! I like the location on soi 5, and it's not noisy and close to the beach and baht bus route. But I found on my last visit the place was feeling dated and the breakfast wasn't so good. Maybe they've done some refurbishment since then. The problem with pattaya is there's too much choice. My advice would be to book somewhere for a night and then stay longer if you like it (but obviously that only works in low season or when availability isn't going to be an issue).
Having stayed at a gazillion hotels in Asia and around the world ( it was my job) I'd say that's pushing it at a 4 star,, definitely not 5 star. In room amenities make that abundantly clear if everything else didn't. There's no 5 star hotel in the world that would present snacks etc that way or indeed the quality of them. Ditto the complimentary shampoo etc - 3/4 star standard
@@balloonchaser No worries. I have to say you're incredibly polite to everyone that comments. I realised in retrospect I didn't actually comment on your actual video - which was great. And the hotel itself is perfectly nice, just mayhe not 5 star as I said but if you get it at a good price then certainly I'd be happy to stay somewhere like that.
Thanks for your comment. For me it's whether the things you need are up to standard. I know some hotels get 5 stars partly because they have facilities for business or conferences. Those things are of no use to me! The good thing about Pattaya is there's so much choice. If this isn't the place for you, the alternatives are plentiful. Thanks again.

Good review. Notably the first video that brings up the safety issue which should be mandatory..
Many thanks for your comment. I'm glad you found it useful!
@@balloonchaser Ironically one of the other channels mentioned there was a fire at the Edge recently. Small but one needs to know.

Sounds great. What's it called? I'd like to do a review. I'm on the look out for good value places.
Covered the Wifi speed, handicap accessibility, and pool depth. You should give a master class on hotel reviews.
Ed, I really appreciate getting such a positive comment. I try to cover the things that people might find important. Thanks!
A great video and reasonable review.
Thanks Phil, it's fun on the other side of the camera sometimes!
@@balloonchaser sometimes lol
@@peapaulofthailand6539 Yep I've already had people criticise people for my fashion sense. Or lack of! Don't get that when working with Phil...
If you don’t mind me asking, how much is appropriate for tipping the lady who showed you to the room and the fellow who brought your bag up?

Yes, little friend must be a phrase I've picked up somewhere! At least I've learnt something in the last 2 years :-)

It's Pattaya! Leave your moralising at home.
If you want to open a can of worms… it maybe the way you say “Pattaya” 😅 555
Hey, Danish. You might be onto something there! I could interview 10 people and hear the 11 different ways they say it!
I wondered why I haven’t seen Ted in a while
Thanks. I hope Ted has safely returned now, and wasn't the worse for wear!
A useful review looks a good alternative to the usual suspects. Thanks
Thanks for the comment. Certainly worth considering if you fancy a change. Location is pretty good for most things.
Wearing a Baseball cap indoors is RUDE ………Just saying
Thanks for the tip. It's only to stop the light bouncing of my bald head and dazzling the camera 📸.
3:57 why has she got ฿100 in her hand??? 😂
I hadn't noticed that! Maybe she was on her way to lunch?
Nice hotel but niver seen a 5 star Hotel 🙄🤔
Thanks, David. Definitely a nice place. I'd give the staff 5 stars for sure. Whether all the rooms are, is a bit more debatable. But if you can get it for a good price, it's worth a try!
@@balloonchaser okay pal accepted ➕🎉🍻🎅
HOW ABOUT THE "BEST BEACH VILLA"
My honest answer is I think it's ok. I have stayed there several times, but not recently! I like the location on soi 5, and it's not noisy and close to the beach and baht bus route. But I found on my last visit the place was feeling dated and the breakfast wasn't so good. Maybe they've done some refurbishment since then. The problem with pattaya is there's too much choice.

Thanks, Will, for your input. You have lots more experience than me, and I appreciate your insight.

@@willsmith39 Will, it's very nice of you to say so. I appreciate it, really.
Not even a 4star in my opinion..

Too expensive
I'll be doing some more budget friendly places in the next few weeks. Thanks for commenting.
