Here’s Your Complete List of Guest Friendly Hotels
First-timers to Pattaya may be surprised to learn that some of the hotels in Pattaya actually discourage you from bringing Pattaya Girls back to your room. They do this by imposing what is known as a “joiner fee”. In other words, these unfriendly hotels will charge you an extra fee when you bring a girl back to your room whether for a short time or overnight. The fee can range anywhere from 500 to 1000 baht. Are you shitting me? That’s more than the bar fine in some gogo bars.
Besides being an unfair and inconvenient charge, it can be down right embarrassing to be stopped by the security guard on your way to the elevator and told that your girl cannot accompany you to your room until the fee is paid. It’s a real bummer. Unfriendly hotels should be avoided.
Fortunately, on the other hand, there are many hotels that don’t mind at all when you bring the Pattaya Girls back to your room. After all, that’s why you came to Pattaya in the first place. These hotels are known as “Girl Friendly” or “Guest Friendly” hotels. There is absolutely no reason to stay at a hotel that is not “girl friendly” and there are plenty of them as you can see from the list below.
A guest friendly hotel will usually require your Pattaya Girl to leave her identification card at the front desk while she is up in your room. This is for security reasons and is a good policy that most girl friendly hotels follow. All of the Pattaya girls are aware of this policy and it is not the least bit inconvenient. The hotel staff at the hotels listed below will treat both you and your guest with respect and dignity.
Before I wrote this post I looked at some other websites out there and I can tell you that there is a lot of bad information floating around regarding the guest friendly hotels. Many of the lists are out-dated. For example, the Pattaya Centre Hotel is widely reported on the internet and nearly every other website as being friendly. The Pattaya Center Hotel is NOT guest friendly. Let me tell you right now, the Pattaya Centre Hotel currently charges a 500 baht joiner fee. Another prime example is the Siam Bayview which IS NOT girl friendly. Siam Bayview currenly charges 1000 baht joiner. So don’t stay there and don’t rely on inaccurate or outdated lists.
To put together this current list, I personally visited each of the hotels reviewed below and I made certain that they are, indeed, “girl friendly”. As you can see from the comments, we are constantly updating the list. So here you have it, my friends, this is the most complete and current list of Pattaya girl friendly hotels that you’ll find anywhere.
The prices are listed in US dollars. High season in Pattaya is from Mid-October through March. There is a “super high” season during the week of Christmas and New Year and prices can double during this week. Prices start to come down in April. The low season is really at a low from May through September and you can get some great deals during these off months. Besides that, hotels are always running deals, so check prices and book your room BEFORE you travel.
Guys, I put a lot of leg work into this list, so do me a favor and book your room using the links on this page. I also found you the booking agent where you can get the lowest prices and best discounts guaranteed through these links.
There are twenty hotels here to choose from. The list starts with the very low priced budget rooms and goes all the way up to the five-star Marriott Resort and Spa. There is a hotel on this list for every taste and every budget. Enjoy your trip to Pattaya!
_______________________________________________________
Sawasdee Sunshine Hotel
HIGH SEASON $24 / LOW SEASON $20 This hotel is the king of the budget hotels in Pattaya. They don’t come any cheaper than this one. It’s located on Soi 11 right across the street from the famous Honey Body Massage. Talk about convenience, this hotel has it. Like I said, it’s budget all the way. The rooms aren’t that great but at least they’re clean. Bart and his friends stayed here in 2011 and had no complaints.
_____________________________________________________
Sawasdee Sabai Hotel
HIGH SEASON $25 / LOW SEASON $20 Another one in the Sawasdee lineup. This hotel is one block closer to Central Plaza Shopping than the others. Same deal, different location. Check the rates on this hotel because sometimes in off season they have deals as low as $18 per night.
_____________________________________________
Sawasdee Seaview Hotel Our Favorite Budget Hotel!
HIGH SEASON $31 / LOW SEASON $20 This one’s my personal favorite in the budget lineup. It’s just a short walk from the beach. It’s perfect for you guys who like the Beach Road freelancers. The rooms aren’t much, but at this price who cares. They finally finished construction on Soi 10, so there’s no problem getting to and from the beach. Plus… you get free breakfast in the morning.
 |
Sawasdee Siam HotelHIGH SEASON: $36 USD / LOW SEASON: $20 USD The Sawasdee chain of hotels is the leader in the Budget Class in Pattaya. They’re not fancy, but for what we use them for, you can’t beat the price. This hotel is located on Soi Buakhao right down from Soi LK Entertainment area. Easy Baht bus access to Walking Street. There’s even a pool. |
 |
Welcome Plaza Hotel
|
 |
Sabai LodgeHIGH SEASON $40 / LOW SEASON $30 This hotel is way up at the north end of Beach Road located on Soi 2. It’s certainly convenient to the beach. Also, just walking distance from the famed Soi 6 promenade of short time bars. If you prefer the north end of Pattaya, this is a good bet and the price is reasonable. |
 |
LK Royal SuiteHIGH SEASON $47 / LOW SEASON $40 This hotel is located in a quiet area close to the intersection of Soi Buakhao and Central Pattaya Road. If you prefer a hotel that’s slightly away from all of the action, then this might work for you. There is easy Baht Bus access to Walking Street. LK only allows one girl in for free. If you bring two girls back, they want 500 baht. |
 |
Areca LodgeHIGH SEASON $58 / LOW SEASON $52 Areca Lodge is situated right in the middle of the action in the Soi Diana Entertainment Area. Many of our site visitors have stayed here and it’s easy to see why. Step out of your hotel and you’re instantly in the middle of some of the best beer bars in Pattaya, as well as the popular Soi LK entertainment area where you’ll find no less than 7 Pattaya Go Go bars. You’ll have no problem finding a pretty Pattaya Girl close by. The hotel sits back from the street so you don’t have to worry about the noise. |
 |
Baboona Beach Front Living HotelHIGH SEASON $58 / LOW SEASON $52 The name says it all. This hotel is located right on Beach Road, but it’s way up north between Soi 3 and 4. Some of the more pricier rooms here have balconies with sea views. It’s walking distance from the Soi 6 sex playground. This is a nice boutique hotel with only 40 rooms. There’s free wifi and a fitness gym as well. |
 |
Sunshine Hotel and ResidenceHIGH SEASON $59 / LOW SEASON $44 Here’ a mid-range hotel that’s located right in the middle of the entertainment action that happens on Soi 7 and Soi 8. Some of the rooms can be affected by the noise, so get one in the back to avoid this problem. There are 3 swimming pools and 2 fitness centers. |
 |
LK MetropoleHIGH SEASON $72 / LOW SEASON $53 This is the hotel that actually started the LK Metro Entertainment area. Soi LK is directly behind the hotel. There are seven go go bars including Champagne A Go Go and numerous beer bars on this small Soi. Besides that, it just a half block away from the famous Devil’s Den. This is one of the best mid-range hotels for those who like to party with the girls. There’s also easy Baht Bus access to Walking Street. LK only allows one girl in for free. If you bring two girls back, they want 500 baht. |
 |
Mercure Pattaya HotelHIGH SEASON $74 / LOW SEASON $65 This hotel is somewhat inconveniently located, but they have their own custom baht bus offering free service to and from Walking Street. Some punters prefer this because it’s quiet. There’s an amazing pool bar here. |
 |
Nova Platinum HotelHIGH SEASON $74 / LOW SEASON $64 This up scale mid-range hotel is located to the south of Walking Street, but still within walking distance. The Baht Buses also run directly in front of the hotel so transportation isn’t a problem. According to one of our site visitors, the Nova Platinum has an excellent in-house massage service and the girls will boom boom for a slight extra fee! |
 |
Tim Boutique HotelHIGH SEASON $75 / LOW SEASON $50 Here’s a hotel that is brought to you by the owners of the famous Tim Bar on Pattaya 2 Road. In fact, the hotel is right around the corner from Tim’s combination beer bar/gogo bar/pool hall. Tim Boutique is a very up-scale operation and that is reflected in the price. The rooms are expensive but the service and location is great. There’s a pool on the roof. Downside is that they charge extra for wifi. What’s up with that? |
 |
LK Renaissance Hotel Our Favorite Mid-Range Hotel!HIGH SEASON $76 / LOW SEASON $63 The LK Brand has a good reputation in Pattaya. All of their hotels offer a high standard of service, but the LK Renaissance definitely has the best location. It’s right in the middle of the Soi Diana Entertainment Area. There are three good hotels on this street but this one is our favorite. It’s right down the street from Kiss Food and Drink, which is another plus. There is also an on-site massage service and jacuzzi bath tubs. LK only allows one girl in for free. If you bring two girls back, they want 500 baht. |
 |
Page 10 HotelHIGH SEASON $88 / LOW SEASON $69 Page 10 is one of the newest hotels in Pattaya. Construction was completed just last year. The rooms are immaculate and the service is good. It’s located right on the corner of Soi 10 and Pattaya 2 Road which is a great location. Try to get a room on the back side of the building to avoid the noise from the live shows at Orn Bar across the street. |
 |
Dusit D2 BaraqudaHIGH SEASON $155 / LOW SEASON $145 All of the Dusit line of Hotels in Thailand are 5-star first class hotels and the D2 Baraquda is no exception. This hotel is ideally situated for punters on the prowl. It’s right on Second Road at the intersection of Soi 13/2 (Soi Post Office). There are many popular beer bars on the opposite side of the street and it’s close to Walking Street as well. You’ll be treated right when you stay here and it’s hassle free with the Pattaya Girls. |
 |
Marriott Resort and Spa – Our Favorite Top-End Hotel!HIGH SEASON $216 / LOW SEASON $177 This hotel has it all. If you can afford it, the Marriott Resort is the best place to stay in Pattaya. It’s just a short walk to Walking Street and the beach. The pool here is incredible. More importantly, they will pamper your Pattaya Girl. Read our full Marriott review for more information. |

Ash, No the Hilton is NOT friendly. In fact, they charge 1000 baht joiner fee.
Hi, I’m going to Thailand at the end of January. Does or has anyone ever stayed at LK Lengend Hotel. How was it and was it Girl Friendly. I see that there is 3 other LK Group Hotels listed but I was wondering if they have the same rules or different rules. Thanks
Hello is the Siam Bayview GF?
Peter78, No the Siam Bayview is NOT girl friendly. They charge a 500 baht joiner fee.

Hi.
i see a lot of comments that siam bayview is not guest friendly. I have booked my stay at siam bayshore, what can you say about the hotel? is it a good hotel and is it girl friendly? I have been searching the internet for some answers, but the experience seems to be mixed. old comments from 2004 to around 2007 say it’s not girl friendly but comments that have been posted more recent say it is girl friendly.
Best Regards
Petter
Petter, Unfortunately, the Siam Bayview is NOT girl friendly. We had to remove them from the list. They used to be, but they changed their policy last year. They now are charging 1000 baht joiner fee.
darryl, The Marriott has everything you’re looking for.
Thank for the answer.
But you misunderstood my question, i know the siam bayview isn’t girl friendly.
I was asking if Siam bayshore is girl friendly ?
Best Regards
Petter
Petter, sorry about that. The Siam Bayshore has always been UN-friendly. They charge a 1000 baht joiner fee. It’s a shame because the hotel is perfectly located right at the end of Walking Street. Their pool is beautiful overlooking Pattaya Bay. If you don’t mind the joiner fee, it’s perfect. If you do decide to stay there, avoid the rooms that have a connecting door into the neighboring room. You can hear everything that’s going on and they can hear you.
Crap :\ i dont think its a connecting room i ordered a double tropical deluxe room,i think they have just been renovated. looked really nice. i was really hoping that this hotel was joiner free.. and i’m booked there for 3 weeks. Its strange that they can take joiner fee when i have a double room!!?! if i hade somebody traveling with me it wouldent cost any thing extra for the hole trip.. but if i brink someone back with me for one night they whant 1000 bath for it. It just dont make sens? But one other thing if you bring someone back for say just a couple of houres, do you still have to pay a joiner fee? i mean if they dont stay the night?
Petter, short time or long time, it doesn’t matter. If they “join” for 10 minutes, it’s still 1000 baht joiner fee.
i am currently staying at bayshore. i’m glad to announce that siam bayshore is “girl friendly”… when that said the girls have to leave before 5 o’clock in the morning. but i guess if you pay joiner fee they can stay longer….. and just have to say the location of the hotel as you said is just perfect
Petter, Thanks for your update. This is really good news. I’ll add the Siam Bayshore to the list of “girl friendly” hotels.
it’s really good news, just a perfect location and i can confirm a 100% after having a couple of girls over now all night and well in to the next day and they do not take joiner fee.
Hi,
I am looking for a luxury girl friendly hotel close to walking street. I saw DusitD2, AYA. Can you give me your best advice ? Thanks.
Bastien, Aya isn’t really luxury class. Dusit is way better, but I’d go for the Marriott.
Hi 4hourMike.
I read somewhere within the comments that you didn’t like Penthouse Hotel. The Vault Hotel has the same concept (dancing pole, but also a swing). What part of the Penthouse Hotel you don’t like? (Service, joiners, etc.)
I am looking for a concept like these hotels. The most important things I am looking for is inroom safe, no joiner fee (at least 2 joiners, so a total of 3 including myself) bathtub (or jacuzzi) and it’s near Walking street.
I stayed before at Secrets, but they don’t have bathtubs (or jacuzzi’s).
What places you recommend to check (also online)? I am planning to come begin of June (about 4 months left).
Hi All,
Your advice and comments would be most helpful.
I am planning on traveling to Pattaya in July/August 2013 and i’d just like to know, is it a good time to visit Pattaya? Or will I be disappointed? I know its the low season but is there still enough sun and beautiful girls to have a great time to remember?
Also is the Girl Friendly hotel list very much the same as the list for 2012?
Many thanks Perky.
Perky, July and August are great months to visit Pattaya. There are not as many tourists and no crowds to avoid. You won’t notice any difference in the number of girls that are available. Fewer customers mean better prices and friendlier girls. I prefer the low season. The above hotel list is still current. Enjoy your trip!
Thanks Mike for your input. I look forward to my trip even more now.
One other thing, Page 10 Hotel is my 1st choice. Would anybody advise avoiding it? From the website it looks pretty nice and modern.
Thanks in advance.
Perky, Page 10 is a good choice. Make sure you get a room on the back side of the hotel. The rooms on the front side get a lot of noise problems from the loud music coming from the Orn Bar.
hi guys
visiting pattaya soon and am staying in page 10 hotel,i was just wondering if they charge a joiner fee..thanks
john, there is no joiner fee at Page 10
Can any one tell me if the Bay Breeze Hotel is guest friendly as I am booking a stay there later in April.
Thanks
On the moment i have 2 options. Sabai Lodge and Sabai Wing. Is the Wing also Girl Friendly?
Thanks
Martin, the Bay Breeze Hotel has always been girl friendly. Besides that, it’s one of the best budget hotels in all of Pattaya. They just recently remodeled. You will definitely enjoy your stay. Try to get a room on the back of the building to avoid the noise from Orn Bar. Khun Payow is the manager. She is always helpful and friendly. The staff is the best. You won’t have any problems. I think that the second floor rooms are the best because you can just trot up the stairs with your friend without having to wait for the elevator. Threesomes are totally cool here. Check our my review of Bay Breeze Hotel.
Diego, the Sabai Wing is girl friendly but, right now, there is construction going on right next door. So, you may be awakened by loud noise early in the morning.
Will be staying late June and was wondering if the LK The Empress is girl friendly like the other LK hotels?
Peter, LK Empress has the sAme girl friendly policy as the other LK chain hotels. One girl at a time free, second girl 500 baht.
hi,
im planning to stay in soi buakhaow or soi diana in august.i had last stayed in areca lodge in march found it a bit expensive,and low quality breakfast,paid 1700b a night,
can you suggest me some safe and value for money hotels,which are girl friendly in these areas,im not looking at high end hotels,but decent ones,
regards,
shri
shri, The perfect place for you would be the Bay Breeze Hotel. It’s not on Soi Diana, but it”s located just one block over on Soi 11. The Bay Breeze is Pattaya’s best kept secret. They just remodeled and rooms are very nice. During August you can get a single room for 950. The staff is friendly and the manager is great. It’s an easy walk up to Soi Buakhao or Soi LK. Get a room on the back side to avoid the noise from the Orn Bar across the street.
Queen Victoria Inn on Soi 6 is also girl friendly (stayed there last year).
Can’t get much closer to the action than that…
I plan to visit Pattaya in 2nd week of July for a week. Looking fro some fun….Waould like to stay in 4 star property near the walking street. Please recommend something….obvious it has to be girl friendly.
I am planning to come to Thailand next month.
I was thinking of booking Penthouse hotel since their concept is unique !
I want to book a double room and take 2 girls may be ! I saw their website – it says the hotel is guest friendly.
Would you recommend penthouse or should I try some other hotel ?
Collazo, I don’t know much about this hotel.
HI 4HOUEMIKE.JUST WANTED TO KNOW,IF FOURTEEN AGAIN IS GIRL FRIENDLY. THANKS.
Yes, Fourteen Again is girl friendly.
Aaraav, just pick one from the list above.
