Soi LK Metro, Pattaya
Booked off the www after reading glowing reports on other boards and reading threads where the owner (Dennis) had replied and dealt with praise, criticisms and complaints IMO honestly and fairly.
Lets be realistic the rooms are priced cheaply (but are not cheap looking or feeling) it’s a guest house so rooms above a bar not a 4-5* hotel with pool 24hr room service etc. It has all you need for a stay in fun city if you on a budget or are just after very good value for money.
The Bar;
Open from 9.30am till 1-1.30am with x2 friendly helpful shifts of girls to cater to your needs (some cater to “every” need) if you so desire. A fine selection of falling down water is available to suit every taste and the girls make a good Nescafe or cup of tea (using boiling water not that tepid crap you usually get out of those water heaters). 3 free well maintained pool tables for customers are available as is a computer terminal in the bar or free wi-fi internet throughout. Good music selection but only if you have taste (like me) not if your into Disco, Rap, House, Garage and other associated rubbish. No food available but take away can be ordered from countless cafes and restaurants around the soi or passing vendors. Dennis has also put a list of 24hr delivery services (including menus) in the rooms so your not going to go hungry. I and my “guests” were treated with respect and consideration at all times.
The Rooms;
Reached through the Bar or a side door at night so keep a hold of your keys. Mine (room 4 rear corner second floor) very large and spacious with a nice big bed, sitting area and on-suite shower room, balcony running around both sides (don’t expect a breathtaking view)with access via 2 sets of sliding patio style doors. Small in room safe and loads of storage space, all fittings and fixtures seemed in good condition. Tiled floor air con or roof fan kept the place nice and cool. My only complaint (voiced to Dennis) was that the lighting in the shower room was a bit inadequate for people who like a wet shave. Other than that they are more than adequate for the purpose (but they are not marble tilled luxury with fancy soaps, potions and lotions but remember you aren’t paying “luxury” prices). The lighting and electric through the rest of the room is good, recessed dimmers in the ceiling and loads of plug points some wired so they don’t automatically switch off when you remove your key fob from the unit by the door (handy for recharging). Towels changed every day and bed linen and the cushion covers on the sofa every 3. The room maid was a darling and did a fantastic job and seemed to be there throughout the day to sort out your room if you are a very late riser.
The Area;
On soi LK Metro a “dog leg” soi that connects soi Buakhao and Soi Dianna a comfortable 5 min walk to Second Road past a few of the bars of soi Dianna or baht buses run along soi Buakhao and moto-taxi stand at each end of the soi. Local bars and eateries a plenty, ATM’s laundry’s and 7/11 or Family Marts all nice and local.
Edited to add; At night you will probably find it easier to “hire” a baht bus (100thb) to get back with your tirak.
The place has its pros and cons and will not be everyone’s choice of place to rest there weary head after a day sight seeing or playing on the beach. But would I stay again? Just e-mailed for my 2007 dates
