It does. I checked today for January and it was £35 a night up from £25. That's about the correct price point for this place IMO. Holiday Inn express was slightly cheaper than the amber for the dates I checked. It was the other way round when this video was filmed.
I've never stayed at flipper house. If you like soi 7 and 8 and beach road, I would go for flipper. If you like soi buakhao and treetown then I'd plump for the amber. I would expect the amber to be around 50 percent more than flipper cost wise. Flipper is a pretty old property.
I'd consider black woods if you are looking to stay in the same area as flipper, should be around the same price as amber and black woods is a very nice hotel.
The only thing I am a bit of a snob about is my English breakfast tea.that yellow label stuff is terrible so I take my own.cup of tea and a ciggy on the balcony sounds good for relaxing.great hotel.thanks for the video Mr besty.
which is the better? Holiday inn Express or The Amber Hotel i’m visiting this mid November, any suggestions for Guest houses as well! great blogs by the way 👍
Thanks Wayne. The Amber is a better hotel in my opinion. Mainly because hiX doesn't have balconies and has a much smaller pool. HiX does have free breakfast though.
Very good and helpful thanks. The Nalanta and Adelphi are both close by, which I have looked at and am also interested in. Though I'm put off a bit, by the slightly long walk up or down the rather narrow soi with traffic.
Just about to book this one mate. I'm used to staying in or close to beach road ... Like the nice walk out and home to walking Street.. do you think I'd be disappointed staying this far out ? Much appreciated. This hotel looks great value for money
Hey Vlad, it's a bit of a trek to walking street but there are motorbike taxis right outside the hotel which will take you to walking street for 50 baht or you can take the baht bus south on buakhao which will take you to the second road end of walking street for the usual 10 baht. I'll be staying at the Amber again in February. I liked it a lot.
@@BigFatBesty yeah I think it might be a good first stay to try out the soi bukhao area . There is good night life around the amber yeah.. last question mate do you have any you recommend on or side soi to beach road that are new modern , pool and around this price tag .... Days of staying at the AA are long gone lol
Good review bro. Often been past that hotel but never stayed there. All looks good, the balcony/air con bit is also good. The bed I agree, two singles together is wank. But I like the rest. And I can watch you on theTV? Even better !
@@BigFatBesty thanks I just cancelled L k president hotel, for the amber hotel I'm trying it out for 3 nights January 17...hope all good thanks...was going to go holiday inn but there was a fire .👍
I know chances of getting there for the first time are unlikely before Mar/Apr at best , but i have a question for u big guy , how safe are these room safes , or would u suggest a better option is an hotel with boxes at a 24 hour reception hotel , just hate the thought of returning to the room at end of day one to find the contents of the room safe gone , they dont look like they would take much to break into
That's a good question. I've personally never had a problem with either an in room safe or a safety deposit box in 19 years of going to Thailand but you are right, some of the safes perhaps aren't all that safe. That said, the doors to your room should be so I guess it's how much you trust the housekeeping. There is also the chance that the reception area is left unattended if you are using a safety deposit box. To be honest, I don't know of many hotels of a decent standard which don't have in room safes these days. In fact most decent guesthouses have in room safes, I know the fever bar rooms in lk metro had in room safes when I stayed there a couple of years ago.
@@BigFatBesty thanks big guy , ur experiences at least reassure me that Thailand is much like anywhere else , on the whole honest however like everywhere in the world uk included there is always that risk, best thing is to stick with hotels such as this were its likely u only have to worry about hotel staff which i imagine in the main are reliable . I suppose the main reason i asked was because of all the accommodation videos i have looked at the one i liked most was i think called crystal suites , room was good as was price , location was awesome but there seemed to be more ppl wandering around than on Blackpool prom on a bank holiday weekend, thanks again and here's hoping this vaccine gets us back to normal soon , very soon
Loved the hotel throughtout my stay in pattaya a very beautiful and comfortable place with really nice staff ❤very comfy rooms with top class furniture n smart tv having you tube n netflix working luckily(tht most of hotels smart tvs dont.😂)..i really really enjoyed with my family ...
I've stayed in both. If you like a rooftop pool, adelphi. If you like a two tier ground level pool. Amber. Other than that they are pretty similar so whichever is cheapest, which is usually Amber.
Thanks for all of these helpful vids BFB. I'm coming to Pattaya in December and am trying to decide between the Adelphi and the new Holiday Inn Express that you reviewed before. What would you choose between those two? This Amber one also looks good, but like you said, I am not keen on the 2 separate mattresses etc. Thanks!
For what it is worth , I have stayed at the Adelphi a few times. Very good hotel , with a fine breakfast. Nice roof top pool. I gave it away purely on price. It is expensive compared to other equal standard hotels.The staff were all tremendous , and if it matters , no joiner fee , just book for two , and take it from there.
I found a fix for the two bed problem, using the soft cords I normally use for other things, I tied the feet of the bed together. Looking at the prices in mid-December for a week and its only up to around 1200 Baht a night.
I think it's still good value at that price. I would price it at around the 1500 price point. Same as most of the lk group hotels, areca, adelphi, holiday Inn express etc.
I’m popping in to pattaya on way to Kuala Lumpur to see nick at the assienda, would this be ok for my wife as it’s a holiday and she doesn’t want a seedy place lol cheers mate
Big Fat Besty thankyou for the reply so quick aswell , what about the holiday inn you reviewed as that looked nice , only be there 2-3 days so I told her to give and take a bit lol she ain’t a prude but typical wife I guess
Holiday Inn express is a nice hotel. Soi buakhao again is very nightlife! It's up to you. If you want to play it safe I'd stay closer to beach road. But you could also tell the wife to suck it up and stay on soi 6!!! Up to you!
Looks nice!! and good location too. Sorry to hear you got food poisoning , do you recall what gave it to you and where it was ??? Always handy to know what to avoid mate, cheers
Hi Tom, thanks for the review. The hotel is definitely worth considering and a great location. Sorry to hear you got sick, what medicine do you take to get through food poising and how long did it take to get over it?
Any guess what caused the food poisoning? I am visiting for first time soon and that is a huge fear of mine. Did you go to the doctor to get the meds or just walk in a pharmacy and tell them you think you have food poisoning?
Street food vendor very late at night is my best guess. I couldn't leave my room for 4 days. Fortunately my mate Mark lives in pattaya so he got me a variety of drugs from the pharmacy for very little money.
Big bed for the big bad besty 👍👍👍 loved your airport vid tip about the money exchange rate I will definitely will do that keep up the great work appreciate it enjoy 😉
Good vlog mate, good to know it’s guest friendly too. I assume you mean joiner free, as a guest friendly hotel that charges an extra fee is still guest friendly! Cheers...
hotel looks nice, was just browsing this the other day on agoda, and this review was helpful..the only draw back is the location, just a tad bit further out than i'd like...
Nice one Besty, do they do monthly rates. Also a hotel contact ,ie e'mail, tel or phone no, etc, would be useful if you wanted to stay long term and bypass the hotel supply chains . 🖒🖒🖒
I am a single man and will have young ladies accompanying me to the hotel a night or nights. Is the hotel guest friendly? What is the protocol?...Yes, I just heard you say in the video that the Amber is guest friendly...so , then no problem bringing in a new lady every night to see my etchings....😀
Hi Besty, we just booked into this hotel yeserday, saw your review at start of 2020, just before the pandemic and booked it, luckily expedia kept hold of our booking till 2023, but the hotel is quite good, not the best but good for a reasonable stay x
Sounds like you had gastronitis, more commonly known as stomach flu, very very bad, I had it too, severe diarrhea and severe vomitting, and severe severe stomach pain, all at the same time, and no cure. you ate some contaminated food with contaminated water, there were parasites and bacteria in the food so your acid in your stomach was havoc! Yes, 4 days sounds about right, take a break from eating street food, I love it too but after having gastronitis, it's a lesson learned, also were both very lucky that we didn't have to catch our flight home while we were going through it.
Thank you for the review. The hotel looks great but I would prefer one of the bigger rooms which obviously is more expensive. I am torn between "Hotel Amber" & "Sleep with me Hotel"
@@BigFatBesty I had to laugh at your comments about the bed. I stayed at LK Royal Wing in September, the bed was so hard and slid about on the shiny floor. Before I knew it I was on the other side of the room during my extra curricular activities!!!
The bed is the main part of a Hotel room, when I travel if the bed is sh@t, as that one is, (punn not intended Tom) I would move Hotel. It does not matter if the room is nice, I would be there for the bed, for either sleeping or horizontal airobics Much better rooms to be had for half the price.
Great review! Just changed to Hotel Amber thanks to an amazing deal, looking forward to staying for 18 nights!
Thanks for letting me know. I'm glad the review was of benefit to you. Have a brilliant holiday :)
Was the toilet door frosted before you stayed there ?
Good comprehensive review bytheway
ya sou Besty. Miss your videos mate. Are you still working in Corfu these days? Yiannis
Hi Besty look a great new hotel and a very good price,great vid mate.
just booked in here based on your recommendation - thanks heaps !
That looks really nice but i am sure it cost more in the season.
It does. I checked today for January and it was £35 a night up from £25. That's about the correct price point for this place IMO. Holiday Inn express was slightly cheaper than the amber for the dates I checked. It was the other way round when this video was filmed.
Any reviews on the Flipper house hotel? i’m coming over 2nd week of November not sure weather to book at the flipper house hotel or the Amber hotel 😊
I've never stayed at flipper house. If you like soi 7 and 8 and beach road, I would go for flipper. If you like soi buakhao and treetown then I'd plump for the amber. I would expect the amber to be around 50 percent more than flipper cost wise. Flipper is a pretty old property.

Are the beds soft enough though? That is the main issue with many hotels

I'm staying there again in a few days. I'll record an update video.
@@BigFatBesty cool ,,see you Saturday .
How much you paying this time ? Did we get a good price ?
£77.64 for 3 nights. Trip.com
@@BigFatBesty thanks for quick reply,, will try for better deal.
Will the front desk call a taxi for you if you need one?
Yes, of course. It will be more expensive than sorting it yourself though.
the room is rather SMALL ?
unlike your CAPS.
Good review bro.
Often been past that hotel but never stayed there. All looks good, the balcony/air con bit is also good.
The bed I agree, two singles together is wank. But I like the rest. And I can watch you on theTV? Even better !
Would you recommend the pool view side it comes up around 149 pounds 3 nights non refundable on Expedia
I'll let you know at the start of February as I'll be staying in one of them for 5 nights!

Great hotel. Stayed here a few months ago.
Excellent review as expected. Highly appreciated.
is it geust friendly and do i need a credit card? Do they take an extra deposito as insurance?
Yes it's guest friendly. With agoda there is a pay at the hotel option and there is a 1000 baht security deposit.
@@BigFatBesty thank you. I think I will go for this hotel. 300 euro for 6 night at booking for the grand deluxe room

Yes Paul, there are no music bars nearby.
Pool looks a lot smaller than on the photos hmm
Good job. Thank you for the wifi speediest too! That is becoming more important to travelers.
Fantastic review Besty !
Guest friendly?
Oh yes.
The torch looks like a Lightsaber!
Based on this I will be here in November
Looks a great hotel at a great price, The swimming area looks amazing aswell. Thanks for sharing BFB 👍

It was 7970 baht for 8 nights when this was filmed last month.
@@BigFatBesty Yeah low season price i expect.
I booked September for jan1 st. 14 nights with breakfast deluxe pool view £684. / 26500 baht.
Did you not book the double bed before you confirmed your booking I don’t do the single beds pushed together crack
I think the standard rooms are offered as either one king or two singles. I did request a "big bed" in the requests section.
Big bed for the big bad besty 👍👍👍 loved your airport vid tip about the money exchange rate I will definitely will do that keep up the great work appreciate it enjoy 😉

Seriously? 1000 a night for a new 4 star is too expensive? Where do you stay? Rwanda?
@@BigFatBesty lmao 😂 that's a fair price for the money .
Haha 😭😭 Some people have no taste Besty, or no money or both lol
To be fair, Stan might just be saying he can't afford a hotel over $30 a night. Or he might just be a "Cheap Charlie"!
Its 1000 barht not 1000 dollars.
