In keeping with its international
status PATTAYA has every conceivable form of accommodation,
from 5 star plus to backpackers flops. Most tour operators
have deals with some of the more expensive hotels as they
can negotiate a good price and roll it into a package
deal. There is no problem with these hotels with respect
to the standard of accommodation but you can be caught
out on some of the other aspects of PATTAYA life with
extra charges required. We prefer the flexibility of the
numerous 3 star establishments about town as the standards
are as good as any you will find in Europe, the cost to
you is very reasonable and there are no hidden charges.
Any hotel we recommend is room hire not "twin sharing,
single room supplement" as in most European hotels.
PATTAYA is based on room hire, the US system, twin sharing
is a con.
All accommodation has a queen size bed, air conditioning,
en suite shower and toilet, cable TV, a phone, a safe,
a fridge, a restaurant, bar facilities and daily maid
service. CHARMING

116 room establishment with the older section a little
cheaper than the new, they also have bungalows for hire.

THE
QUEEN VICTORIA INN
As its name suggests this really is a pub modelled on
the pub of that name in the Eastender series. There
the similarity ends as the staff are very friendly,
the ambience relaxing, the food very good and the beer
cool.
Less than 2 years old the "VIC" is English
owned and run. Bert and Vic will make you most welcome.
Having 21 rooms all up to spec it is located 200 meters
