Guest Friendly Hotels Pattaya

guest friendly hotels pattaya

Please note that Pattaya is a huge place with many hotels, so I list below only some of the best guest friendly hotels in Pattaya with my reviews and photos.

First, I visit many hotels at least a few times per year. Then, I speak to staff and owners and take new pictures. Finally, and most importantly, all the information is firsthand.

I moved all bar girls-related information to my other post, Pattaya girls guide – prices, tips. Check Pattaya go go bars for more details, and for cheap accommodations in Pattaya, check guest friendly guest houses Pattaya.

Guest friendly hotels Pattaya 2024 update:

I stayed at the Amethyst Hotel and loved it! It’s now on top of my list with Amber Hotel. You can check my reviews and pics below.

A friend of mine stayed at the P Plus Hotel, and I visited him to take some pictures.

Important information from my previous trips: I made huge updates as I stayed in a few more hotels – Altera Hotel, Page 10, March Hotel, and one of the newest hotels in Pattaya, Acqua Hotel. Below, you can also check my latest reviews and pics from August Suites and Adelphi Hotel. Areca Lodge now has many renovated rooms with walk-in showers but I still don’t have new pictures.

Opposite Amethyst is located another new hotel – Debua, also guest friendly.

Bay Breeze is fully renovated and reopened.

Somerset Pattaya is a great new 5-star guest friendly hotel located right opposite Central Festival Mall.

Baraquda has new ownership. It’s now Hotel Baraquda Heeton Pattaya, but there is still no fee for a second guest.

The LK Metro area is even better than before, with many new bars in Tree Town and gentlemen’s clubs on Soi Boomerang and Soi Chaiyapoon. If you are still considering where to stay in Pattaya, LK Metro is still the best area in 2024.

1. Hotel Amber Pattaya **** $52+

guest friendly hotels pattaya amber hotel

Hotel Amber is one of the newest guest friendly hotels in Pattaya, so everything is nice and fresh. It is now one of my favorite hotels and I’ll book it again for my future trips. It has a quiet and convenient location, right before Adelphi Hotel but tucked away from the noise. LK Metro is within 5 minutes walk, less than three to Tree Town and easy to catch a baht bus to Walking Street at the end of the soi.

I stayed in one of their grand deluxe rooms. The rooms are modern, with very good beds and the bathrooms have excellent walk-in rain showers. I loved the sitting area and the extra space. There is a big tv screen, efficient and quiet aircon, an in-room safe, a fridge and a desk.

Top-floor rooms have balconies with a nice view of the city. Deluxe rooms are also nice but smaller and without a sofa. However, they are much cheaper. The 2-level swimming pool is not on the rooftop but also looks nice.

2. Amethyst Hotel **** $53+

guest friendly hotels pattaya amethyst hotel

I stayed there recently, and it’s now at the top of my list. Amethyst is one of the newest guest friendly hotels in Pattaya, having opened a few years ago on the corner of Buakhiao 15 and Soi Buakhiao. It’s less than a three-minute walk to LK Metro and many gentlemen’s clubs, and the baht bus route to Walking Street is almost in front of the hotel.

Everything is fresh, new, and clean. All the rooms are huge and modernly designed. The beds are huge, soft, and very comfortable. There are new big TVs, in-room safes and coffee/tea-making facilities. The rooms also have small balconies with a city view. The bathrooms are stylish and have rain showers. There is a gym, a nice rooftop pool, and a jacuzzi.

3. Page 10 Hotel **** $49+

guest friendly hotels pattaya page 10 hotel

It’s one of the most famous guest friendly hotels in Central Pattaya but my last stay there was a few years ago, so I decided to book it again. After one cancellation due to the pandemic and border closure, the second try was successful. My first reservation was non-refundable but they allowed me to cancel it. Apparently great management!

The location is very convenient: it’s a five-minute walk to LK Metro and less than fifteen minutes to Walking Street. The baht bus is right at your doorstep, and the Central Festival shopping mall is just around the corner. Soi 10 is quiet at night, so you can sleep well.

The rooms are really big, with huge beds, sitting areas, desks, flat TVs, in-room safes, fridges, and big balconies with a nice green view. There is a remote control near the bed for the lights and the air conditioning system. The bathroom is huge, too, with a nice shower. There is a sunny and clean pool and a small gym on the rooftop. There is a good Page 10 hotel room video on YouTube until I upload my own videos soon.

4. Areca Lodge Hotel *** $52+

guest friendly hotels pattaya areca lodge

Areca Lodge is a great guest friendly hotel and one of my favorite guest friendly hotels in Pattaya. Girl friendly and good value for money. I’ve stayed there many times because the hotel is located in a very good area of Pattaya, soi LK Metro, close to everything. Walking distance to many beer bars, go go bars, only a five-minute walk to the beach and less than ten minutes to the Walking street. Good shopping area nearby.

The rooms are quiet, spacious and clean with balconies, comfortable beds, TVs, and safes. The bathrooms have good showers, nice bathtubs and clean toilets. Two swimming pools, two gyms, and free, fast and reliable Wi-Fi throughout the hotel, even at the pool. Last but not least, the staff are very friendly and helpful and the breakfast buffet is quite tasty.

5. Acqua Hotel **** $39+

guest friendly hotels pattaya acqua hotel

It’s one of the newest hotels in the LK Metro area, just off Soi Honey. The rooms are clean and modern but the superior rooms are too small. Executive deluxe rooms have much more space, a large sitting area, and comfortable sofas and chairs. They also have a kettle, fridge, in-room safe and two desks; one is extra large. The beds are large, big and comfortable. The bathroom is huge with a nice walk-in shower and bathtub.

There is also a small gym, sauna,  rooftop pool, and bar. The balconies are too and have no nice view. The hotel has a good breakfast buffet and the staff are friendly and polite. If you need extra privacy, book a room in the second building as usually there is nobody at the reception most of the time.

6. Adelphi Pattaya Hotel *** $43+

guest friendly hotels pattaya adelphi hotel

Adelphi has a great location if you plan to stay near the LK metro. It’s a five-minute walk to go there, three minutes to Tree town and less than two to get the baht bus to Walking Street. Their good-sized deluxe balcony rooms are nice and clean with big beds, flat-screen TV, a table, a big fridge and an in-room safe. They also have a separate bathroom and toilet and walk-in shower.

Deluxe balcony rooms are good enough but they also have premier rooms with extra space, a sofa and a table. The balconies are good enough, with not the best view, but I’ve seen worse. The hotel has a nice sunny rooftop swimming pool and your guests can go there with you. The wi-fi is fast and the staff are very friendly and helpful.

7. LK Metropole Hotel **** $43+

guest friendly hotels pattaya lk metropole

Nice guest friendly hotel at a reasonable price. Despite the location in the middle of the soi LK Metro area, the rooms are quiet at night. The Walking street is less than fifteen minutes away, a five-minute walk to the beach and plenty of restaurants nearby.

Standard rooms are spacious enough with balconies, comfy beds, decent size bathrooms with hot water and bathtubs, good aircon, wi-fi, laptop safe, coffee and tea making facilities and two bottles of water for free each day. The staff are friendly enough. Nice but small swimming pool.

Guest friendly policy: Free of charge for one visitor, +500 baht for two visitors at the same time.

8. LK The Empress **** $69+

guest friendly hotels pattaya lk the empress

The hotel is located right on Beach Road, but you have to pay more for a sea-view room. It is quite close to both Walking Street (ten minutes’ walk or two minutes with the baht bus) and the Soi LK Metro area (five minutes’ walk).

Large rooms with comfy beds and pillows, nice bathrooms, and excellent free Wi-Fi. Beachfront rooms have fantastic sea views. There is a very good breakfast and a nice pool, but no pool bar. I highly recommend the hotel if the price is within your budget.

9. Intimate Hotel **** $49+

pattaya intimate hotel

Intimate hotel has an excellent location, less than a five-minute walk to the LK Metro area. The baht bus to soi 6 is a few minutes away. Big, clean rooms with led TVs, free wi-fi, in-room safe and clean bathrooms with bathtubs. Some rooms have a jacuzzi and there is also a rooftop swimming pool.

Huge, clean, modern rooms with extraordinary design, very comfortable beds, LED TVs, huge desks, and excellent bathrooms. Very friendly staff and they treat you and your girl like a family. The hotel also has a very nice swimming pool.

B. Hilton Pattaya $184+

guest friendly hotels pattaya hilton
Hilton Pattaya is the best 5-star guest friendly hotel in Pattaya if you can afford the price. Your visitors not only can use the facilities but are also treated like royalty. Moreover, the elevators are located far from the reception, so you can bring your visitors directly to your room.

The hotel has a great location in Central Pattaya on top of the Central Festival mall. You can easily walk to Walking Street, LK Metro, soi 6, or take the baht bus in front of the hotel.

The rooms are recently renovated and huge with sofas. The bathrooms are also very nice and clean. Hilton has one of the best rooftop bars and a great swimming pool with a fantastic sea view.
You don’t have to pay for wi-fi anymore, as they will give you a wi-fi password at check-in.

Guest friendly policy of Hilton hotel: “Please be informed that there is no visitor fee in our property, however, the original ID card or Passport is required to be kept at the Front Desk when the visitor arrives.”

C. Wave Hotel $156+

pattaya wave hotel
Wave hotel is a 5-star hotel, not a 4-star like mentioned on Agoda. The hotel has a great location on Beach road but the rooms are quiet at night. Central Festival Mall is right next to it and the baht bus route is literally in front of the hotel. Moreover, you can walk to both Walking Street and LK Metro. It’s less than an eight-minute walk to LK Metro and ten minutes to Walking Street.

All rooms are huge and stylish with a sea view. The bathrooms are also huge, with separate rain showers and bathtubs. The pool is spotless but close to the Beach road, so there is little privacy. The staff are very friendly.

Blackwoods is one of the newest 5-star guest friendly hotels in Pattaya, so everything is fresh and clean. The location is good, with easy access to the bus route to soi 6 and Walking Street. LK Metro is within 10 minutes walk.

The rooms are huge with big flat-screen TVs. Moreover, top floor rooms are larger and some have a partial sea view. The rooftop swimming pool has an even better view of the area. The bathrooms are very nice with walk-in rain showers. If you are happy to pay more, queen rooms have extra space, sofas and bathtubs.

Guest friendly policy of Blackwoods hotel: “The visitor is free of charge just leave her i.d at the front desk before going up to the room for security reasons.”

Somerset is the newest 5-star guest friendly hotel in Pattaya. it’s located on Second Road opposite Central Festival Mall and on the baht bus route from Walking Street to Soi 6. It has big quiet rooms with comfortable beds and sofas and also apartments. The Wi-Fi is strong. The hotel doesn’t have the best rooftop swimming pool but has an amazing pool view. No problem bringing guests free of charge.

Another 5-star hotel is Mytt Hotel. Check the Soi 6 hotels below.

Guest friendly hotels in Pattaya near Walking Street

Walking Street is the most famous entertainment area with excellent go go bars and discos but not many good mid-range hotels and no luxury accommodations. Moreover, it’s a late-night party area and has nothing to do in the daytime. You can also choose one of the guest friendly hotels Pattaya Beach Road area and walk or take the baht bus to go there.

1. At Sea Residence ** $28+

guest friendly hotels pattaya at sea residence

The hotel is located right at the entrance of the Walking street, so everything is within a two-minute walk, beer bars, restaurants, beach, and a beer garden downstairs. All rooms are spacious, clean, and modern, with a fridge and in-room safe box. All bathrooms have bathtubs and clean toilets. However, the sea view rooms are worth the extra money. They are quieter and have balconies with fantastic sea views. The beds are a bit firm but comfortable.

2. W 14 Hotel *** $46+

guest friendly hotels pattaya w14 hotel

Best mid-range hotel I’ve seen in the area. Right in the heart of the action on Walking Street but the rooms are quiet despite the location. The hotel is fairly new (2015). Therefore, everything is fresh and clean – rooms, pool and rooftop bar. The rooms are huge with comfy beds, LCD TV, Blu-ray player, safe and free wi-fi. Moreover, the deluxe rooms have washing machines and clean and modern bathrooms. The hotel has only 12 rooms, so better book in advance.

3. Baywalk Residence *** $39+

guest friendly hotels pattaya baywalk residence

Baywalk Residence has a perfect central location. Less than a five-minute walk to Walking Street, a ten-minute walk to the soi LK Metro area, and the beach is just across the road. Big, clean and quiet rooms and clean bathrooms. Moreover, some rooms are really huge with sofas and balconies. The place also has a nice rooftop pool and a big terrace with a magnificent sea view. The staff are very friendly, and the breakfast is tasty but limited in choice.

4. Aya Boutique Hotel **** $44+

bar girl friendly hotels pattaya aya boutique hotel

Aya boutique hotel is located in a quiet soi between Beach Road and Second road but only a short walk to the main nightlife areas. Five-minute walk to Walking Street, less than a ten-minute walk to the soi LK Metro area and a two-minute walk to the beach. The rooms have king-size beds, small balconies, strong wi-fi, led TV and nice clean bathrooms. The hotel also has a pool and gym. Accommodating and friendly staff.

5. Honey Lodge *** $35+

bar girl friendly hotels pattaya honey lodge

Honey Lodge is a hidden gem. It is fully renovated and super close to the Walking Street entrance, beer bars, and restaurants but in a quiet location. Easy to get baht bus to everywhere (10baht). The rooms are clean with modern and stylish bathrooms, separate toilets and good aircons. High-speed wi-fi in rooms, lift, outdoor pool and English-speaking staff. Basic breakfast but plenty of eating places nearby.

6. The Green View ** $38+

After the recent renovation, the Green View Hotel is a good option for staying near Walking Street. Everything is within a few minutes’ walk, but the hotel has no elevator, so it is not suitable for people with health issues. The rooms are new, large, and clean, and the staff are very helpful. Even though there is no breakfast and no pool, it’s still a good deal.

7. 7 Days Premium Hotel Pattaya *** $33+

It’s a budget hotel close to Walking Street, and many bars, restaurants, and supermarkets are within walking distance. The rooms are huge, with air conditioning, sofas, and in-room safes. However, they look a bit dated. If you are a light sleeper, avoid the sea view rooms, as they face Walking Street.

8. The Classroom Hotel *** $33+

The management contacted me about a year ago and told me their place is guest friendly. I visited the classroom right before the lockdown to take some photos but they were fully booked then. However, the location is great, just a few minutes walk to Walking Street and not far from the LK Metro area. The Baht bus stop and second road are right around the corner. There is a nice bar downstairs, serving Thai and Western food. The place looks spotless too.

9. Grand Hotel Pattaya *** $29+

Grand Hotel has a great location in the heart of the Walking Street nightlife but the rooms can be noisy until early morning. It’s cheap, dated accommodation and you get what you pay for. However, the staff are friendly and helpful, the rooms are clean and the breakfast is good. Superior sea view rooms are better with a nice view and less noise.

0. P.72 Hotel ** $20+

pattaya p72 hotel

The P.72 Hotel is located in the heart of Pattaya nightlife, right on Walking Street. Even though the hotel is basic, the rooms are big, clean, and quiet, with good aircons, free Wi-Fi and clean bathrooms. There is a desk and fridge but the TVs are old. The staff is accommodating as well. The restaurant is a great place to watch the world go by. Overall it’s a good place for the price.

A. Siam Bayshore Resort **** $89

I included Siam Bayshore in my hotel list because their policy has drastically changed. Until 2020, it was a real nightmare to bring back visitors. The security guard checked all visitor IDs and asked for a 1000 baht joiner fee. It’s not the case anymore. There are no joiner fees, and nobody bothers you.

The hotel is located on Waлking Street and close to Bali Hai Pier. So, if you plan to go to the Koh Larn beaches and have fun on Walking Street, then the hotel is a good option. However, it’s very far from the other party areas like LK Metro and Soi 6. You have to take overpriced (moto) taxis to go there as it’s too far to walk.

The rooms are spacious and in good condition. The swimming pool is huge and very nice.

(New) guest friendly policy: “In case your reservation is made for 2 person that no additional charge sir, but if you made it to 1 person will be charge for extra person THB1,000.-Net/Night.”

It is a very convenient location to catch the baht bus to Soi 6 or Walking Street. Huge and stylish rooms with comfy beds, desks, sofas, tables, LED TVs, and free wi-fi. Big and modern bathrooms with bathtubs and extremely friendly staff.

247 Boutique Hotel *** $36+
pattaya 247 boutique hotel

It’s a nice hotel right at the back of the Soi LK Metro area with many bars and massage shops nearby. The rooms are good-sized and have comfortable beds, sofas, flat TVs, an in-room safe, a coffee/tea maker, and good Wi-Fi. I love the clean glass bathrooms with shower views from the bed. Rooms at the back can be noisy, so it is better to book one of the front rooms. The hotel also has a nice rooftop swimming pool and gym.

Honey Inn *** $28+
pattaya honey inn

Honey Inn is an excellent cheap option for a guest friendly hotel close to the LK Metro area with friendly staff. It offers nice, clean, good-sized rooms with clean bathrooms, coffee/tea makers, LED TVs, a fridge, and free Wi-Fi. Deluxe rooms at the front are great and quiet with balconies but superior rooms at the back can be noisy till late at night.

Deep Blue Z10 *** $40+
deep blue z10 Pattaya

Deep Blue Z10 hotel is located on one of the quietest streets in the area, Soi 10, very close to the beach road. Therefore, their top-floor rooms have a nice sea view. It’s one of the newest hotels in the area, so the rooms are nice, clean, and modern. The beds are large and comfortable, and the bathrooms are large, too. There is no pool, but you can use a pool just across the street.

The Stay Hotel *** $42+
bar girl friendly hotels pattaya the stay hotel

The Stay Hotel is a good option for light sleepers, as it is on a quiet soi. It’s a nice, clean, modern hotel, and the bars on the LK Metro are less than a five-minute walk away. The baht bus routes are at the end of the soi. Some rooms have a partial sea view, which is nice. Moreover, there is a good swimming pool and gym. The Wi-Fi is fast and there is an in-room safe. The breakfast is nice, and it’s free for your overnight guests, too.

P Plus Hotel *** $24+
guest friendly hotels pattaya p plus hotel

P Plus Hotel is located within a three-minute walk to LK Metro and the Soi Buakhao baht bus route to Walking Street.  A friend of mine stayed there recently and  I took some hotel pictures.

It’s a very cheap hotel with many dated rooms but it has a nice swimming pool and a surprisingly good and well-equipped gym. The rooms have small TVs and desks. The bathrooms have separate showers and toilets. The breakfast is nothing spectacular, but there are plenty of eating options nearby.

Travelodge Pattaya *** $29+
It’s the former Premier Inn and is still guest friendly. Quiet hotel close to the LK Metro area. Standard and superior rooms are small but nice and clean. Better book a deluxe room if you need extra space, and they also have sofas. All rooms have spotless bathrooms with great showers. The free Wi-Fi is fast. There is a rooftop swimming pool and gym.

Sea Me Spring Hotel *** $46+
All Sea Me Spring hotels (Sea Me Spring, Sea Me Spring Too, Sea Me Spring Tree) are similar in a great quiet location on Soi 10 and have a rooftop pool too. All of them are guest friendly, but if I have to choose, I would rather book Page 10 or Deep Blue Z10 on the same soi.

Vogue Pattaya *** $26+
Vogue Pattaya is located at the back of Soi Lengkee, in a quiet area. LK Metro is a five-minute walk away.

It’s a cheap hotel with dated but clean rooms. The gym is also dated but the place has two swimming pools. The Wi-Fi is unreliable, so it is better to buy a prepaid sim with internet or book elsewhere if it’s important to you.

Guest friendly policy: Dear Sir/Madam, Booking a room for 2 occupants, and checking in alone is all that is required to ensure the hotel will not charge a joiner’s fee. We will charge a joining fee for the third person 500 baht. Best regards, Gib.

Golden Sea Pattaya *** $26+
Golden Sea Pattaya has a very good quiet location just off Soi Buakhao and within a 5-minute walk to LK Metro.
The hotel has good-sized and well-equipped rooms with huge balconies. The Wi-Fi is fast and free. The pool is big and clean and the pool area has many sun loungers.

Guest friendly policy: Maximum guests per room without extra bed are two (2) guests. • In the case of booking with one (1) registered guest/room upon check-in, the guest can accompany another one (1) guest without extra charge. • In the case of booking already including two (2) guests/room, the guest accompanies an extra guest(s), considered as third (3), or fourth (4) and so on., with a request of THB 500/person/time.

Sutus Court ** $25+
sutus court pattaya room

Sutus Court is an inexpensive accommodation on Soi Buakhao. The LK Metro is a few minutes walk away, and the Baht bus route to Walking Street is right in front of the hotel.

The place has several buildings but I think that Sutus Court 1 has the best rooms. The rooms are basic but big and clean. The bathrooms are good enough but have no separate toilet, so expect a wet floor all the time. The pool is large and nice but the pool loungers are not new.

You can bring one visitor at a time free of charge and there is a 200 baht joiner fee for two.

Guest friendly hotels Pattaya Soi 6

Soi 6 in North Pattaya has many short-time bars and is a daytime hangout. It’s great to start the party there and then take a baht bus to Walking Street for a late night fun. Moreover, most hotels there are considerably cheaper than Walking Street and Central Pattaya.

Altera Hotel and Residence **** $52+

guest friendly hotels pattaya altera hotel residence

It’s the former @Mind serviced residence, but it’s still part of the Atmind group and is guest-friendly. It’s definitely one of the best places to stay near Soi 6. Altera is located on a quiet street almost opposite Soi 6. If you plan to go elsewhere, there are motorbike taxis in front of the building.

I booked one of their grand suites and had a great stay. I had a room on the sixth floor with a big balcony, an amazing green view and a partial sea view. The rooms are really huge and quiet and look more like apartments.

Grand suites have a separate bedroom, living room, kitchen and big walk-in closet. The living room has a very comfortable sofa with a flat-screen TV. The bedroom has a comfortable bed and an extra TV. The kitchens have a table with two chairs, a microwave, a big fridge, a washing machine, a kettle, and tea and coffee. The staff provide four complimentary bottles of water every day.

There are separate bathrooms and toilets, and the bathrooms have a very nice walk-in rain shower and a huge sink. The Wi-Fi is fast, reliable, and works well all over the rooms. The hotel has an excellent huge and clean swimming pool with a bar and restaurant.

Pattaya Blue Sky Hotel *** $29+

bar girl friendly hotels pattaya blue sky hotel

It’s probably the best value for money of all guest friendly hotels in the Pattaya Soi 6 area. It has an excellent, quiet location on Soi 5 but is within walking distance to bars on Soi 6, and the baht bus routes are nearby. The rooms are good enough with clean bathrooms and toilets. They also have flat TVs, desks and tables with chairs. The balconies are small and there is no view on the lower floors but a nice rooftop pool and terrace.

March Hotel *** $33+

pattaya march hotel

March Hotel has a very quiet location. It is an eight-minute walk to Soi 6 and less than five minutes to the baht bus station, so you can easily go to LK Metro and Walking Street. There are also motorbike taxis nearby.

Everything is very nice and clean – rooms, bathrooms, toilets, pool, sauna and gym. The rooms are big with excellent Wi-Fi and smart TVs and they have some of the most comfortable beds I’ve ever stayed in Thailand. There is also a large fridge, an in-room safe and a nice balcony.

Book a front room for a nice view. The rooms at the back face the May Hotel; it’s a nice new place and guest friendly too. The bathrooms have great walk-in rain showers. However, the pool is shady from early afternoon. The front desk staff are very friendly.

August Suites Pattaya *** $34+

guest friendly hotels pattaya august suites

This is a very girl friendly hotel in Central Pattaya with a perfect location in a quiet area but only a five-minute walk to Soi 7 and 8. It’s only a short walk to the beach road and there are baht buses to everywhere.

The rooms are huge, clean and modern. They have balconies, massive beds, nice bedding, large bathrooms with walk-in showers and clean toilets, safe, fridge, air conditioning, flat TV, and wired and wireless internet everywhere.

The staff are great and the hotel also has a cosy pool area and a well-equipped gym. The only negative is breakfast but plenty of good and cheap meals nearby.

Mera Mare Pattaya **** $58+

guest friendly hotels pattaya mera mare

Mare Mare is on my list for future visits. It is a very guest friendly hotel in a great location. The hotel is right on Pattaya Beach Road, so has easy access to the beach and Baht bus route to Walking Street. Soi 6 is within a four-minute walk.

It’s a boutique hotel with big and stylish rooms, some with a sea view. The bathrooms are also big and clean, with walk-in showers and bathtubs. The swimming pool and gym are very nice. The staff are friendly and helpful but also discreet.

You can bring two visitors at the same time without extra charge. Moreover, visitors are allowed to visit your room directly, so you don’t have to go downstairs to pick them up. The lift is right by the entrance for extra privacy.

April Suites *** $29+

guest friendly hotels pattaya april suites

April Suites is located on a quiet small soi near Second and Central Pattaya Road. There are baht buses to everywhere and Soi 6 is within a seven-minute walk.

The rooms are basic but clean, with a fridge, desk, flat TVs, and bathrooms with good showers. Deluxe rooms are much bigger and have a seating area. There is also a nice rooftop swimming pool, a small gym, and a sauna.

The staff are helpful, polite and very friendly.

Mytt Hotel ***** $92+

Mytt Hotel (also known as Mytt Beach Hotel) is the closest 5-star guest friendly hotel to Pattaya Soi 6. It’s located on Soi 3 but very close to Beach Road. Although you can get a Baht bus, it’s far from Walking Street and LK Metro.

The rooms have very comfortable beds and bathrooms with rain showers. If you are a light sleeper, ask for a high-floor room at the back, as some front rooms can be noisy.

The 13th floor has a nice swimming pool, spa, and gym, and the famous Pippa restaurant is on the top floor.

It’s no problem bringing back visitors. They ask for IDs, but it’s not strict. Room access is also available from the parking lot to avoid the walk of shame.

Guest friendly hotels Jomtien

Jomtien has the best beach, but it’s far from the main party areas, and transportation is more expensive.

Rabbit Resort **** $99+
The Rabbit Resort is not cheap but it has very nice luxury beachfront villas. Less than ten minutes drive to Walking Street, the villas are located between trees and gardens and everything is peaceful and quiet. The rooms are spacious with huge and comfortable beds, and they also have a microwave, fridge, cozy bathrooms and free wi-fi. Two large and clean pools and the staff are friendly and helpful.

Zing Resort&Spa*** $24+
Excellent mid-range and very good value for money guest friendly hotel in Jomtien. It has a quiet location but is close to the beach and many restaurants. I don’t have room pics but the rooms and pool look exactly like the pics on Agoda, they are large and clean. The staff are friendly and helpful too.

Hotels with joiner fees

The following hotels in Pattaya are not guest friendly and have joiner fees:

  • Avani Pattaya resort. Pattaya Marriott changed its name to Avani Pattaya Resort. It was a great option for a luxury guest friendly hotel in Pattaya but they started charging a 1000 baht joiner fee. Guest friendly policy: “Companion fee is THB 1,000 net per person per night.”
