More spacious rooms with pool on site?

[randyandy69 492]

My next visit in September won't be my usual 4/5 days then the beach as spending most if my time in bangkok, so looking for something more roomy than normal, definitely with a pool to lounge around and ideally small kitchen area. Price point, don't want to pay more than 2k baht a night though hopefully.

Only ones I have spied so far reviewed here are Bless residence on soi 33 and @ mind way out on soi 84 I think.

 

Does anyone have any recent experiences with the above or willing to offer alternatives?

@mind is out on Soi 84 but it's only a year old and a few minutes walk to On Nut BTS and nine minutes on the BtTS to Nana. Going back in the early hours it's less than a hundred baht.

 

Never have anyone in that area bother me as no hawkers or p4p in that area. There is a night market that does good food and beer, a Tesco Lotus with a food hall and the usual Starbucks and macydees brrrrgh.

 

Have a look at Solo hotel in soi 2 not sure the price I stayed there nov 2012 for £32

You can try Phachara Suites on Soi 6. That is where I stayed. Their website shows rooms as low as 2141 baht for September. That's a little pricier than what you want, but they have a lot to offer. The rooms all have washer / dryer as well as kitchens. A restaurant is on site. They also have a pool on 7th or 8th floor and a nice gym. The pool is unheated. In January when I was there, the water was so frickin' cold I thought I was going to have a coronary. In September I imagine the water is perfect. They keep the property spotless, it's LB friendly. Guess Bar is a 2 minute walk, Nana about 10 minute walk. That's where I am staying in December this year and I really don't want to stay anywhere else.

Citadine's are worth a look. Studio and one bed apt's in Soi 8,11,16 from memory. The one in Soi 8 is quite far down the soi and not much around it. The one in Soi 16 is next door to a new large Foodland 24 hour supermarket. The one in Soi 11 is as I recall adjacent to the old Bed Supperclub. One bed's are frankly a waste of money - studios just as big almost and better layout. Can't remember pricing but should be around your budget.

Bless has large spacious rooms and a pretty good location in soi 33. The pool on the rooftop however is more like a bathtub...

 

Not sure about the pricing, but it might be worth having a look at the GM Suites (soi 3), Lohas Suites ( soi 2), Fraser Suites (soi 11) or Shama (soi 4)

@Mind is on soi 85 and has an ok gym and small rooftop pool. More for lounging around than doing laps. The one bedroom apartment is excellent value. Kitchen area with dining table, lounge with sofa, flatscreen and tiny balcony. Bathroom ok. Bedroom excellent (another wall mounted flatscreen). As OTS said excellent location. Good price too. I've booked for a return visit in Oct.

Best place I have stayed, love the one bedroom apartment. Stayed there twice and booking again on my next visit. Hoping to stay at @Mind just of soi 6 in the one bedroom apartment in Pattaya.

You might want to look into Royal Ivory as well. I enjoyed a stay there for 3 nights and liked the room I had. It has a little kitchenette. It also has a pool on the 3rd floor but it is small... ok for lounging a little.

Thanks for the suggestions all, now booked At Mind Executive suites, crazy low deal in comparison and hope to leave similar favourable review about the place.
