The Amethyst looks very nice! Thanks for the video. 👍 A bigger balcony with chairs and a table would have been nice. However, the biggest drawback is the location imo. The location is okay as such, but Soi Buakhao 15, Soi Buakhao itself and the nearby sois have no pavements/sidewalks. I guess, it's not a big deal for most people, the Soi Buakhao area becoming increasingly popular, but I don't feel safe walking in heavy traffic on the road. Even in Soi Buakhao 15 towards the Avenue Mall there is dense traffic nowadays.
This hotel is a solid choice in central Pattaya. Plus points - Room & bathroom overall, bed, pillows, facilities including roof top pool & gym, location, staff, housekeeping, breakfast for 150thb if needed. Wifi, tv channels, blackout curtains, accessibility with ramps & lift buttons. Minus points - room storage, mini fridges do not cool, bathroom sink does not plug / close, .view from rooms, balcony (good for smokers only). Also note this is a guest friendly hotel and no room deposit is required.
Beautifully stylish. Room done out in style, gorgeous headboard and furniture I wonder if they cut back on storage to emphasize space, impractical however (I wear long dresses 👗) I would love to stay there, beautiful colour scheme, lovely staff and food what's not to love. Paul the Thailand videos are a real eye opener for me, I would have imagined very basic, quaint indigenously styled hotels not the impeccable, inventive, stunning places you have found and the prices are so incredibly low certainly not matching the high quality you get! Such an amazing place. The music was really apt. Thank you, take care 😊 x
Hi Penny. Yes I am the same re long dresses so it would be a problem for me too plus the lack of other storage space- I don’t travel light ( not that I get much chance at the mo. ) Paul must have keep his dresses in his rucksack ! Thanks for the videos Paul really interesting
@@KatrinaClark-s6n Hi Katrina yes us elegant ladies and our Paul need to keep our glad rags in pristine condition 😂 I do love a flowy frock and would need at least a dozen 😉 x
A few critiques. Show the facilities; the gym and more than a few seconds of the pool. The earplugs, were they needed? Seems like an expensive hotel relative to Thai prices. I think someone could find a comparable hotel for 25-50 USD or 909-1818 baht a night.
Tell you what Paul. Sold on this hotel. I just fell in love with it when I saw it. The room beautiful, all of it. Who needs a balcony when you have stunning places to sit inside or in the sun around the hotel. Lay out was also beautiful. Food looked great.....anaemic sausages not so great. The price I could not believe it I thought I had miss heard you mate. Defo stay here before any of the others. Thanks Paul great work as always love it. ❤
Great hotel . Its my go to hotel when visiting Pattaya . Stayed 3 times. The executive suites have a large wardrobe as well as a tub with LED lights . Also, the mini fridge has complimentary sodas
Fabulous hotel stayed for two months staff brilliant no wardrobe was a problem but would definitely stay again if it wasn't so expensive.good video thanks.
Plenty of much cheaper hotels in Pattaya. My next trip is almost 7 weeks I am staying at a Condo in Jomtien with huge pool and gym, one bedroom for a tenner a night through Airbnb. But of course Soi Buakhao is a great location.
Lovely hotel, nice touches and great bathroom. Hanging space would be awkward for ladies dresses. Loved to see you tipping concierge. What a price😮. Well done Paul.
Thanks Peter, good review- I’m a new subscriber and look forward to further vlogs from you. I did see you in Kungs on my last trip but I didn’t say hello because obviously I was unaware you were a UA-camr then 🙏🇬🇧
@@whoknowswhere Definitely. Will be my first trip to Pattaya. When I go depends on how my online model shop does in the next few months and of course my UA-cam channels. Nicely presented video too btw
I'm very grateful for this video! I've walked past this hotel when it was a work site and finished. I've looked at pix online but couldn't get a feel for the rooms. Hotel facilities look excellent but room seems too minimalist for me! I don't want to sit on the bed to eat and watch TV. I want a sofa! What were noise levels like in the evening?
Stayed 6 nights last year- they had deal for this 1600 a night (up to 1800 this year). Quality hotel - I actually prefer Debua across the way - 1350 a night and rooms have nice big balcony unlike Ameythst. This area is the best location in Pattaya - everything is on the doorstep.
@SoiSomething Stayed there few weeks ago - always ask for room at side towards rear - I prefer side next to Nature View hotel as like to sit on balcony looking down at Soi 15 intersection - I'm a light sleeper never had any noise issues - have stayed there three times now.
Hi Paul lovely hotel really lovely your was lovely too and the room looks very clean and nice and the food looks great and the look really nice and lovely a lovely place to stay Paul 😊
Thanks again Paul for your latest video in Thailand , so interesting to see the different styles of accommodation on offer. Looks very nice & clean too .
Hello, thanks for sharing this insightful presentation. Why the lights are blinking around the bed and mirrors. Must be annoying, no? Also what is the proper tip for the bellman
Hey there Paul my first time seeing your videos i sayed there in may for 8 nights and wow its a great hotel bed is the best ever i had great nights sleep breakfast was great staff so friendly nice pool its just an all round great hotel in an awesome location as well a well presented 4 star hotel
Fabulous hotel! Re storage, there was what looked like a very large cupboard - with two doors - directly above the hanging rail. Was this not a half wardrobe/big cupboard?
Nice place and good value but I'm not looking to spend that much for a Pattaya hotel room. I'll spend half that and use the extra money for eating, shopping or entertainment. Thank you for the video.
This hotel is good for one or two days as you said. If i would stay longer, I find it irrittating when such a hotel dont have a table to eat together. I saw only one chair, but no couch. So for longstay i would not recommended. The price is also something crazy. 31x 2602 TBT = 80.662 Thai bath for a month?? Am i wrong?
Hi Paul, I've been going to Thailand, mainly Pattaya, for years, and I just don't understand,why everywhere I stay, I get a massive big bed, but usually minimum storage space ???
Glad you showed me this video have thought about booking before. Certainly won’t be now, that room is tiny, the debua is much bigger, has a bigger tv and wardrobe. Plus it’s half the price. No difference in the pools.
you have confused the real price by booking a king suite room.... what's the price for a normal room no breakfast. 2,600 thb for this room is too much should be about 1500 to 1800 thb
Didn’t stop there but went restaurant and bar very good did special on drinks and food can’t understand why didn’t advertise outside hotel About food and drinks
That isn't cheap for Thailand. They are much cheaper hotels offering exactly the same if not better (like the laughable balcony) I prefer Others like March, Areca or Blackwoods
That hotel is sooooo overpriced. 4000baht a night for their Deluxe Twin Room is ridiculous and the prices only go up from there. What's even more ridiculous is you referring to it as a "cheap price."
Great price for low season (May 1st to October 31st).Really good looking hotel however it seems to be style over substance. The lack of balcony with seating and extreme minimal storage would be a total deal breaker for me even though the location off Soi Buakhao is convenient. Breakfast in many hotels is hit and miss and they always have those awful hot dog style sausages, yeh not for me. Luckily I don't mind other Thai foods in the morning. I'm really enjoying your Thai series and looking forward to your next hotel.
Why did you tip the bellboy, for pushing a trolley with your case on for a few yards, when You've already moved your case a few thousand miles....why not then tip the bin man easch week for emptying your bin, and postman each day for delivering letters
Thanks Paul, love the headboard,but storage very poor, for a 4☆ pleased you were happy with it. No not been to thailand, dont fancy it,mainly due to how they treat animals and women sex trade in the bars, but you have been to some lovely hotels at cheap prices, but it is very cheap to live there. A friend i used to work with went every year, and told me all about the place, and befriended a young girl and sent her money each month to keep her out of prostitution, people that work jobs that are thai are poorly paid and need extra income to take care of there family 😢
The Amethyst looks very nice! Thanks for the video. 👍

I agree😂. Just noticed Paul’s latest vlog tonight & storage space much better for us ❤
@@KatrinaClark-s6n Definitely better!! 😊
@@KatrinaClark-s6n Yes far greater scope and provision! 😊❤️
Stunning outdoor space and I loved the little Buddhist altar 🌟

Fab! Thanks Paul. I would def stay at Amethyst
Looks like a great hotel, I'll definitely have a look at it for my next time in Pattaya
I'm a new subscriber I enjoyed this vlog
Very nice indeed, I’ve already booked 4 nights at the end of November, absolutely love Pattaya & Thailand- will be retiring there in May 26 😊🙏🇬🇧
So you should best place in the world.
Looks good usually stay in Areca lodge . Deffo worth looking at next time in Pattaya
Hi Paul,
Beautiful modern hotel nice and clean. Lovely polite staff. What is there to dislike. Thanks Paul.
lol what about a wardrobe !! Utterly ludicrous design
Definitely not a bargain, much better value available
I think it’s a good price for the quality of the hotel and I have stopped in many establishments in Pattaya over many years 🇬🇧
Expensive for Thailand!😢
yes but many would say its one of the best hotels in Pattaya its also very new just 2 years old
Thanks Peter, good review- I’m a new subscriber and look forward to further vlogs from you. I did see you in Kungs on my last trip but I didn’t say hello
because obviously I was unaware you were a UA-camr then 🙏🇬🇧

Glad it was helpful!

Nicely presented video too btw
Lovely hotel and so, so reasonable a price. Not been to Thailand but would stay there.

Never really took any notice but I'm sure if it was bad I would of mentioned it
Great hotel staying here at the moment great bed and friendly staff
Bed lovely more storage needed great video good information ❤

Mums opposite the hotel is awesome. Best breakfast I had in Pattaya and reasonably priced. Check it out if you’re in town.
Thanks for review..Have always wanted to try Thailand..I might 1 day..Have you done any videos on the night markets ?? 👍
Yes there's one coming up
Hi Paul lovely hotel really lovely your was lovely too and the room looks very clean and nice and the food looks great and the look really nice and lovely a lovely place to stay Paul 😊
Thanks again Paul for your latest video in Thailand , so interesting to see the different styles of accommodation on offer. Looks very nice & clean too .
Hello, thanks for sharing this insightful presentation. Why the lights are blinking around the bed and mirrors. Must be annoying, no? Also what is the proper tip for the bellman
Hi lights flicker on dji camera they didnt actually flicker and its really up to you what you tip
Hey there Paul my first time seeing your videos i sayed there in may for 8 nights and wow its a great hotel bed is the best ever i had great nights sleep breakfast was great staff so friendly nice pool its just an all round great hotel in an awesome location as well a well presented 4 star hotel
Welcome aboard!
Lovely hotel not a bad price tho nice room with a big bed thanks paul
Amethyst looks very nice smart and modern nice review
It looks amazing would luv to go there 😄
Fabulous hotel! Re storage, there was what looked like a very large cupboard - with two doors - directly above the hanging rail. Was this not a half wardrobe/big cupboard?
What a beautiful hotel loved the room just a shame there's no wardrobe in the room its definitely okay for a night price is fantastic Paul ❤❤
Nice review, any chance of reviewing the Avalon Resort Hotel Pattaya/Jomtiem ?
I'm back home
Nice hotel Paul, great price I would stay there.
Nice place and good value but I'm not looking to spend that much for a Pattaya hotel room. I'll spend half that and use the extra money for eating, shopping or entertainment. Thank you for the video.
Hey all what is a fair tip for the bell boy? I booked this hotel and will be staying here for the month of September.
Whatever you want quite a lot of people don't tip 100 that is just over £2
i usually give 100 and i give the cleaning ladies 150 a day
Is it guess friendly or is there a joiners fee? thanks for sharing 👍
This hotel is good for one or two days as you said. If i would stay longer, I find it irrittating when such a hotel dont have a table to eat together. I saw only one chair, but no couch. So for longstay i would not recommended. The price is also something crazy. 31x 2602 TBT = 80.662 Thai bath for a month?? Am i wrong?
Hi mate do u know what the pool closing time is ? Also any noise at night
Not sure about the pool time, been in that may hotels, but the pool bar was open till 11pm, noise level was fine
@@whoknowswhere cheers for the reply so the rooftop area is open till 11pm nice
Hi Paul,
I've been going to Thailand, mainly Pattaya, for years, and I just don't understand,why everywhere I stay, I get a massive big bed, but usually minimum storage space ???
I appreciate the massive bed …wink wink
Will a couple / two guests checked in get two key-cards or just one? How much joinerfee for an third guest? I just ask for a friend.
2 cards don't know about 3 guest fees
Looks good. Price?
They probably lock out PC's and Chromecast from their wifi internet like in my hotel. Kinda cheap....
Looks like a lot of hotel for the money. :)
Glad you showed me this video have thought about booking before. Certainly won’t be now, that room is tiny, the debua is much bigger, has a bigger tv and wardrobe. Plus it’s half the price. No difference in the pools.
you have confused the real price by booking a king suite room.... what's the price for a normal room no breakfast. 2,600 thb for this room is too much should be about 1500 to 1800 thb
Is it guest friendly?
You would have to ask the hotel
Yes
Why do they always drape the shower mat over the toilet?
Didn’t stop there but went restaurant and bar very good did special on drinks and food can’t understand why didn’t advertise outside hotel About food and drinks
Nice video
No double glazing and small balcony are the only downsides to this hotel
Owners are the family that have the Katesirre and a couple of gold shops in the city
Oh are they, well should be good value.
It's a Brand new Hotel on Soi 15
What do expect you are in Thailand the breakfast a full English?
correct as I said I'm in Thailand
That isn't cheap for Thailand. They are much cheaper hotels offering exactly the same if not better (like the laughable balcony)
I prefer Others like March, Areca or Blackwoods
You might call this reasonalbe but surely not cheap. This is Thailand.
What did you pay per night ??
Its on the video, I say it and it's on the screen
@@whoknowswhere you could also just answer the question....??
That hotel is sooooo overpriced. 4000baht a night for their Deluxe Twin Room is ridiculous and the prices only go up from there. What's even more ridiculous is you referring to it as a "cheap price."
It's cheap compared to Europe price most of my viewer go to Europe
No place to hang clothes or put away the bags and you can't fault it. 😂😂😂
Great price for low season (May 1st to October 31st).Really good looking hotel however it seems to be style over substance. The lack of balcony with seating and extreme minimal storage would be a total deal breaker for me even though the location off Soi Buakhao is convenient.

I'm really enjoying your Thai series and looking forward to your next hotel.
Just show the price at the beginning so we do not have to go through the whole video.
I haven't the patience.
Don't watch then , no one asked you to, better still look the hotel up on the internet then you will have the price and won't waste your precious time
@whoknowswhere I had to. Long-winded reviews are a waste of time.
You will lose viewers and money.
Have fun
no wardrobe no me
no because there isnt anywhere to put ypu choths
Like 252 AND NEW Subscriber 👍
Thanks and welcome
Too expensive with this rate I batter stay at Holiday inn beach road
Great hotel.our hotels don't match this and our prices are ridiculous.
expensive your clueless!
No Thanks....
Why did you tip the bellboy, for pushing a trolley with your case on for a few yards, when You've already moved your case a few thousand miles....why not then tip the bin man easch week for emptying your bin, and postman each day for delivering letters

Zzzzzzzz
Don't like it do 1, no one is asking you to watch 🙄
@@MotherNature_-hg3rj wish I hadn't boring we don't need to see inside a drawer ffs
Thanks Paul, love the headboard,but storage very poor, for a 4☆
pleased you were happy with it.
No not been to thailand, dont fancy it,mainly due to how they treat animals and women sex trade in the bars, but you have been to some lovely hotels at cheap prices, but it is very cheap to live there.

thailand hotels much cheaper with a big balcony and big ward robe.....and pool view.......well overpriced.....for what it is....
Probably but there not the HARD ROCK
