Sandy Spring Hotel... my no.1 landing spot in Pattaya... I start here most trips, and then move down to Jomtien...I absolutely love this area... Good breakfast place on the next block.... Some rooms even have bathtubs!!! Staying here in 2025.... Thanks for making me homesick for Pattaya!!! 😄😄😄😄
I really like this area too, so many nice food options and easy access to the baht bus system to head North on 2nd road plus Soi Buakhao an easy walk away to access that nightlife area. Plus it is also an easy walk to the Jomtien baht bus too
Thank you Daz. These are the videos I like to see.Im still looking to book for next February but will wait a little bit longer to see if you do any more reviews.
Thank you so much for your time and effort. Your videos are awesome and always spot on. I appreciate everything you do !❤ --To the commenters : Many of you are always bitching and complaining about the lady at the front desk not having a positive attitude . If this person did this on two or three occasions, then you have something to complain about. What happens if when he went in there to do the hotel review 🤷♂️she just found out that her son or daughter or husband has cancer? You’re going to judge her on one time meeting her? Many of you are pathetic😂
Thank you for your review. Most enjoyable I stayed at the AA, during the International Fireworks Festival. They estimated the crowd numbered 400,000. Rooms were few and far between and of course the cost increased for the Friday and Saturday nights .
I stayed at the AA Hotel in Nov 2024. The hotel only gives 1 bath towel. No hand towel or wash towel are offered. The pool area on the 4th floor is nice, but small. It easily gets over crowded. No safes in the room, but deposit boxes at reception. It is at the corner of Beach Rd. Crossing Beach Rd. from the hotel, there are beach chair vendors and a roped off swimming area. I paid 1000 Baht per night. At 1500 Baht it is no bargain.
Why do vloggers show Agoda prices "before tax and fees" and find it cheaper than the rates at the desk which usually are final prices!? Agoda before tax and fees means that you have to add 17%!
It has always puzzled me why the Thailand vloggers insist on pushing Agoda with their misleading 'before tax and fees' pricing. It invariably ends up dearer than you can book direct with the hotel. There are other online hotel booking sites that are always cheaper than Agoda anyway. I haven't found a good deal on Agoda in 20 years...!
They have a strange way of doing things in Thailand. I've turned up without booking asked at reception. They always say go book on agoda give me the booking number and I'll check you in . Never understand why they don't match the price because they have pay commission.
I've not heard of AA Hotel before but it looks nice, and wow that rooftop view is great! Nice location right in the middle of everything too. Sandy Spring hotel looks decent too. Not as much a fan Inn House. Thanks for the video
I would be interested in seeing a few places farther away from the ocean, and also at Jomtien Beach. I have been to Pattaya before (twice) as I'll be staying there for at least 2 months to get some more dental work done. The lower the price the better!
Good video, can you recommend a new hotel , these are great location but all look very tired, like a walk in shower as disabled and can not stand in bath 👍
Hey thanks so much for this video. I have inn house booked for 19 nights through the new year. I am paying 26,100 (standard room and apparently they don’t have a safe) for 19 nights. Based on this video, I am not feeling great about my decision. Would you recommend I keep my booking or do you have another hotel you could recommend I book? Thank you!! Love the videos, was delighted when I seen this
@@nickjones8867 I stay between May-Nov. Even in Feb they try charging high season prices. They hotel I stay at is normally $30aud. And that's all it's worth. But high season they charge $100aud. Yeah stuff that! Really adds up when you stay for a month.
It would be helpful to find out what the WiFi/Internet is like, and does the TV have English channels, is it in a noisy area, is there parking spaces for a scooter, cheers for your good video
For the AA Hotel, I did notice a parking area for motorbikes. The WiFi was poor in my room that was a corner room at the end of the hall. WiFi was fast in the lobby. It is quiet. No bars next to the hotel.
Silver for me , before I buy I look at the attitude. If there is something there before I purchase , I think what about their attitude when I receive and something is wrong
The Agoda price shown on the video excludes 'tax and fees' so is not the final price. Totally misleading. Agoda is definitely not the cheapest online booking platform and I have no idea why vloggers insist on pushing it...!
I have always wanted to stay at the Inn hotel but looking at this vlog sadly it's not for me especially the firm beds you might as well sleep on the floor, I do fancy the sandy spring hotel big room nice swimming pool.
Please Daz, these rooms are soooo depressing. Show us luxury options. But real luxury that rivals the Hilton. Your last luxury video was not luxury at all!
I really didn’t see much difference between the hotels other than the third one was a standard shower than a combo which I prefer which being the cheapest I would take.
Nice. But... :) Could you in the future try to find out when they close the pool. My favorite hotel never closes the pool and i really like that alot! You and the lady can go swimming at midnight, pretty sweet.
The second one (Sandy Springs) I liked the room. and it had the nicest reception But I don't know the rest seemed miserable.
This videos are invaluable. Seeing the rooms on video is much better than pictures on Agoda. Thank you.
Thanks Daz, I stayed at 4 of your hotel in 2023 & 2024, all good and great job. . Thank You

Thanks and great job. The automatic dubbing into another language is also great.

Most enjoyable
I stayed at the AA, during the International Fireworks Festival.
They estimated the crowd numbered
400,000.
Rooms were few and far between and of course the cost increased for the Friday and Saturday nights .
You found some great hidden gems!
Indeed!
Peak high season markups are brutal. Those all look like $25 rooms in old hotels, one with a great rooftop pool and sea view though.
I stayed at the AA Hotel in Nov 2024. The hotel only gives 1 bath towel. No hand towel or wash towel are offered. The pool area on the 4th floor is nice, but small. It easily gets over crowded.

The last one for a month was interesting for high season. Hope I can come one day soon.
AA has a lovely pool and veiw of the sea it’s lovely
luv the intial convo how many meter no hab meter Thanks for the leg work saves us a job !
I stayed at Inn House last winter for about 23 days, its pretty cheap and good overall, got some issues with aircon, but they've fixed it, also
Last June, I stayed at Sandy Spring for 3 nights, and then down to the Copacabana.... I should have just stayed at SS for the entire trip.....
Stayed at Sandy Spring many times. All good. Comfortable and the swimming pool is generally very quiet
Does the pool get the sun all day?
Yes

Have never stayed during peak season. Never will. These prices are more than double what they should be.
Here Here prices crazy arrive Feb.
@@nickjones8867 I stay between May-Nov. Even in Feb they try charging high season prices. They hotel I stay at is normally $30aud. And that's all it's worth. But high season they charge $100aud. Yeah stuff that! Really adds up when you stay for a month.
Hi Daz,can you try to remember to ask weekly and monthly rates, thanks!
Decent enough hotels nothing that I would stay in but I can see the appeal for the price.
Well done Dazza 👍
Another good Video. Did think however most of the staff didn't seem that happy? Good location though😊
I think blue sky has the friendliest staff some of the staff are not well trained in Thailand 🇹🇭 and it’s called the land of smiles 😂
AA Hotel - Race car shower curtain? Is this a hotel for 9 year olds? Plus the front desk lady had a bad attitude. Off the list.
I stayed there this Nov. All the front desk staff were polite and helpful. Always gave me a smile.
It would be helpful to find out what the WiFi/Internet is like, and does the TV have English channels, is it in a noisy area, is there parking spaces for a scooter, cheers for your good video

Not much changes at Inn House 🤣
When the high session will be end. Thank you
The end of April
Sandy springs haven’t done any upgrades since I first stayed in 2007.
Silver for me , before I buy I look at the attitude.
If there is something there before I purchase , I think what about their attitude when I receive and something is wrong
Stayed in all them
Nice
Interesting, why would booking through Agoda be cheaper? Why wouldn't booking and paying directly at the counter be cheaper?
The Agoda price shown on the video excludes 'tax and fees' so is not the final price. Totally misleading. Agoda is definitely not the cheapest online booking platform and I have no idea why vloggers insist on pushing it...!
Keep in mind Agoda adds upwards of 20% in fees/taxes to their final price so in reality the prices are about the same
@clrodrick Exactly, but in this case Agoda is cheaper than the price someone pays as a walk up and pays at reception. Doesn't make sense.
Is February still high season?
Yes, just about
Inn House ( Superior Room ) @ 936 Baht ( High Season @ 03-12-'24 ) is +/- €26 that is not bad really....
When they say they have a safety box downstairs, do they actually mean you have yo put your valuables down there in the reception?
Or did I just hear the answer, three min later, that you can rent one to you room for 1000 Baht.
Yes, you rent one
I have always wanted to stay at the Inn hotel but looking at this vlog sadly it's not for me especially the firm beds you might as well sleep on the floor, I do fancy the sandy spring hotel big room nice swimming pool.
The Video was good, but the KI translation to German you can forget it is better to watch without sound. It is better to hear your voice.
AA i have stay on many times 😎
Please Daz, these rooms are soooo depressing. Show us luxury options. But real luxury that rivals the Hilton. Your last luxury video was not luxury at all!
yes iagree sorry to say Dan
Nice pools but customers never seem to be using them !
Wacky racers shower curtain 🤣
High season is dead!! I been here for over 10 years beers are still 60 baht or less!! That tells you are a lot..🎉
Unfortunately, beers are not allowed at the A.A. Hotel.
I really didn’t see much difference between the hotels other than the third one was a standard shower than a combo which I prefer which being the cheapest I would take.
Nice. But... :) Could you in the future try to find out when they close the pool. My favorite hotel never closes the pool and i really like that alot! You and the lady can go swimming at midnight, pretty sweet.
I’ve got a condo grand avenue nice staff not like her arrogant I pay 18,000 a month got gym pool and central
Yep nice shoe box
Your condo at GA is for 1 month ???
Or did you HAVE to sign a long lease ???
This answers your question
AA staff not very pleasant
