- Areca Lodge Hotel Pattaya my tour, including swimming pool, gym, guest room and breakfast. Areca Lodge is mid priced hotel located in Soi Diana, in the heart of the action 🍻
I booked a "Standard Plus" room on the fourth floor, this hotel is extremely popular and is often sold out during the high & low seasons. There are also a lot of long stay guests due to the very good monthly prices the hotel offers.
This is my review of the Areca Lodge in Pattaya, a lot of people have told me how good it is ,so I thought it's time to take a look.
Areca Lodge location
Nestled in the heart of Soi Diana, Areca Lodge offers unparalleled convenience with its central position, granting effortless access to Pattaya's key tourist attractions. Just a mere 500 meters away lies the renowned Pattaya Beach, while the Central Festival shopping mall beckons at a distance of approximately 600 meters. Soi Buakhao and Tree Town are within a short stroll of less than 400 meters. Moreover, the vibrant Walking Street is within easy reach.
Areca Lodge extends a warm welcome to its guests, accommodating one guest per room at no additional charge (with a maximum of two persons per room simultaneously). However, should you wish to bring along more guests concurrently, a nominal fee of 500 baht applies.
Areca Lodge offers a delightful retreat with its two swimming pools, accompanied by ample sun loungers for relaxation. Adjacent to the primary building swimming pool lies the fitness center, providing a satisfactory workout experience. While the gym boasts commendable facilities, some may find the multifunctional fitness machine slightly outdated. Nonetheless, the overall fitness amenities remain satisfactory.
The hotel's prime location in Pattaya ensures convenient access to an array of attractions within the Central Pattaya area. Furthermore, the hotel's staff deliver exemplary service, reminiscent of that found in upscale establishments, despite its 4-star rating.

Beer complex opening next door perfect 👌
Great, succinct and fair appraisal.That central pool looks just amazing......................
Thanks very much, yes it was a nice pool to swimming. 😎
I have stayed at the Areca many times and not once did I eat the breakfast that was included with the room rate. It didn't look very appetizing, at least to me. On the rare occasion that I do eat breakfast, I'll take a short walk over to iRover's for a Full English Breakfast which is very good and at a decent price. I always book a deluxe room with a pool view. I've tried to book the larger Executive Room, but it's always sold out since there's only one on every floor.
I'm glad you like the hotel, I had breakfast at irovers once it filled me up the whole day It was mega!
Looks like a very nice place. The price seems on the high side, but maybe guests get a lower monthly rate and therefore better value for their pounds or dollars.
You can get room rate lower sometimes depends on which booking site you use and how far in advance you book, but you're right monthly rates are apparently a lot lower.
at that price point not bad. Good clear video covering the facilities. thank you.
Thanks 😊 glad you enjoyed it.
Use the hotel late 2023 I enjoyed it great staff location enjoyed the pools. Rooms tidy and clean if your more budget conscious their other nice hotels nearby
Yes, it is a great location with two very good swimming pools 😁
Used to stay in the Areca when we first started going to Pattaya 12 years ago but it is very expensive now and there are plenty other options.
Tell me more! where do you stay now, always looking for reasonable hotels.

Have stayed at Blackwoods on Soi7 which is fantastic and about the same price as Areca. Usually stay D Hotel , April/August Suites which are half the price of Areca but for location Areca does take a lot of beating. Have booked Nalanta opposite Tree Town for next trip but have not stayed there before but gets very good reviews.
Nice hotel, Looking forward to some close-up footage of the bars opposite the hotel, Luck Bar 1, Luck Bar 2, Jim's,s bar, and others In that soi.
Yes it was a nice hotel, sorry to disappoint I don't take a video at the bars opposite! next time I'm there, I'll see what I can do 😁
Thank you.@@paulsrighteye
You always make good clips. Looks a decent hotel. I've booked debua. Pleased with my choice. Came across a podcast called death railway revisited. Definitely worth a listen
Thank you so much, I looked at the Debua they didn't have breakfast at the time, do they serve breakfast now? I'll definitely listen to that podcast on the railway.
@@paulsrighteye no they don't at the moment. But there's lots of places near by
I stayed there a couple of years ago and stayed in the main building the only thing I did not like was very low water shower pressure besides that I liked my stay.
Glad you enjoyed your stay, I had no problem with the water pressure in the room I was in perhaps it depends on which building You're in! 😃
Cheers helpful video.
I'm visiting Pattaya soon for the 1st time and struggling to decide on a hotel. Prefer with a pool and also with both a bath and a shower. Worried some hotels are too close to the action.
Well, for your first time in Pattaya you can't go far wrong staying here. At booking try to get yourself into the Corona building. 😁😁
For a first visit you can't go far wrong with Flipper Lodge hotel at Beach Rd end of Soi 8 . I think the clean, spacious rooms are 1600 ish baht per night with a good breakfast choice and a large rooftop pool. It was my first hotel I ever stayed at in Pattaya way back in February '07. Also you'll find it on websites, but you'll pay a small commission fee, so I just wander round Pattaya until I find a hotel to my liking. Which may involve staying in a bland place for a couple of nights, then booking in a nicer place long term and bartering a deal.
Been twice. Would recommend it although not sure what impact the Las Vegas bar next door will have
Yes I would totally agree it'll be interesting to see how that pans out. 😃
I like your suggestion of taking earplugs. I will be there in a few weeks and will definitely take some with me
Not a bad shout hopefully you won't need them, but please let me know what it's like.
Will do. Best wishes to you
😊 very nice rm
They were quite nice rooms, thanks for watching 😎
Beware of booking a Superior room in the Evergreen wing, notice the photo on the hotels web site is shot at night with the rooms lights on, the reason is the room is really dark and drab , the net curtains on the right enclose a small (1m x 2M balcony) that has a wood screen on the outside blocking off most of the light . My room was very dingy and dated , had certainly not been refurbed , the bed was on quite a high platform which was a totally useless semi dangerous feature if you are short as I am, the bath is the same, you have to clamber into the very high bath tub to have a shower and reverse to get out onto a shiny tiled floor from a shiny bath tub with no bath mat or hand rails. When I asked to move I was continuously told the place was full so had to stick it out for five days as I had pre paid. As Paul says great location.
Thanks for your lengthy appraisal of your Evergreen room, you are correct they have not been refurbished in Evergreen. With the breakfast room abandoned and reception empty the Evergreen building doesn't have a very welcoming fill anymore.
Onwards and upwards I hope you have a better experience next time you visit Pattaya. 😎
It's a good hotel (stayed many times before) however, on my last trip I went elsewhere. The main problem is that you can't get a lie in or even a mid-day nap in your room due to housekeeping having walkie-talkies on full blast from 9-10am.
Where did you stay last time always interested in new hotels?
@@paulsrighteye Amethyst, just round the corner. 👍👍
When I asked about a room in the Amethyst they wanted B 2,600 room only!
@@paulsrighteye Yikes. peng mak!!! I got a good deal, something like 1800baht with breakfast. That was last October, and I booked it 6 months in advance. x
Am staying in November can you exit the other side of the hotel towards the avenue ..
Yes you can, you can exit by the Evergreen building that takes you to the Avenue.
@@paulsrighteyeahh thanks bud I emailed them said am in corona wing dunno what pool that’s by
That's by the main pool (the square pool) you should have a good stay.
I have stayed at this hotel last year. It's ok, nothing special. Over priced for what I got. The breakfast was decent. But Be aware of what room you booked. The desk clerks will try to put you in the rear most building, the third building. The rear building is old and worn out. Good video
When you say the rear building do you mean the Evergreen building with the larger rooms? These rooms are the most expensive, if you stay again try to get in the Corona building.
Agree , its totally shagged out, really in need of a refurb.
Agree over priced
@@nickjones8867 it's a tricky one, if you book early enough you can get a reasonable price, but walkin's seem to be quite expensive.
@@paulsrighteye Yes i was in Pattaya Feb asked reception for 6 week deal were uninterested.so stayed different hotel.
Keep hearing how good this hotel is but with the aircon on the balcony facing your seat puts me off
I suppose that could be a problem, maybe switch it off if you want to sit on the balcony.
It used to be a bargain...like 7 / 8 years ago, but now it's way overpriced.
I've had a few people say the same thing on pricing, would love to know where you stay now.
@@paulsrighteye I like the Jomtein condo Airbnb options...
That's your error. It's an overpriced, overrated dive. Sorry pal, only just viewed your video in its entirety and was impressed with the room size and hotel grounds. I agree that the breakfast was merely okay and yes Areca Lodge is in the thick of it. My personal favourite is D-Appartments opposite the Soi Buakhao entrance to New Plaza. It has very similar size rooms with balcony, small kitchenette and rooftop pool for 900-1000 baht per night. A small room without balcony is about 700.
Overpriced..no thanks
Overpriced with horrible service. Stayed numerous times pre and post covid. Breakfast is edible, will keep you alive. Front seating area / bar on Soi Diana was completed early 2018, old news and always empty. Corona was remodeled 2017, while we were there, joy watching them sand and paint exterior of building. Many better places to stay with better locations and price.
The exterior of Corona might have been decorated in 2017 but the interior room makeovers were definitely finish last year, I witnessed them being done in October 2023. I agree it's becoming pricey would love to know where you stay now, always looking for recommendations.
@@paulsrighteye Last several trips, been staying at Caesars Palace on second road. Good price, not the fanciest at all. Soi 7 and Myth town are very short walks. Soi New Plaza next door. Easy to get everywhere you want to go!
Great place to Stay and reasonable rates ,ignore the Foolish comments from another know it all.
Breakfast choice is massive,room rates start at about 1450 baht and the staff are great.
Location is brilliant being 6 minutes walk to beach 5 minutes to Treetown.
Anything better or equal to this and i am all ears...
Stayed there twice before and again next month
Never any issues with the room or the staff
@@tillithurts335 I have stayed numerous times over the years andi still think it is great.
Rates have gone up slightly due to room refurb but for me i still rate it highly.
Over rated and over priced for what it is. The breakfast, especially the coffee served, was disgusting.
I think you're paying mostly for a location, but I do agree with you about the coffee, it's not the best🤣
