The Forest Hotel Pattaya

“Nice new hotel - cash only”

This is a rather new hotel close to Pattaya Park, small night market and “Russian” street, probably not an official name but I was quite surprised to see a street with signs mostly in Russian. Very nice rooms, outlets by the beds to charge your devices and more on the bench by the TV. Nice bathroom… more

This is a rather new hotel close to Pattaya Park, small night market and “Russian” street, probably not an official name but I was quite surprised to see a street with signs mostly in Russian. Very nice rooms, outlets by the beds to charge your devices and more on the bench by the TV. Nice bathroom with a great shower. The TV has an massive amount of channels available. Good air conditioner. The door to the hallway is poorly insulated but luckily enough we seem to have good neighbors who didn’t make any noice but as we walked through the hallway you could hear people talking or watching tv. Nice pool on the 8th floor, as we were there during the low season we had the pool to ourselves. Breakfast is typical of a Thai hotel in this price range. Seems to be a hotel that have Chinese group tours coming by for a night’s stay. They arrive late in the evening and are out in the morning. Nice friendly staff. I booked my hotel at Agoda, with payment at the hotel. I was a bit surprised that the hotel only accepted cash.

“Bad staff will damage your image!”

I choose The Forest Hotel carefully for my last night stay in Pattaya. In general, the room was nice, everything fine there , specially I like the quiet and clean night market there, but if you expected more quality of service, it were very relied on what kind of the hotel staffs in there.

I choose The Forest Hotel carefully for my last night stay in Pattaya. In general, the room was nice, everything fine there , specially I like the quiet and clean night market there, but if you expected more quality of service, it were very relied on what kind of the hotel staffs in there. Firstly, the receptionists were not good in English. Secondly, they behaved polite did not mean that they like to help. For example, I checked out at 8am on 12/12 morning. Asked them how much the price going to the North Bus Station. Yes, what I asked was the only bus terminal there, actually very close to the hotel. I have bought a bus ticket by Bell Travel specially with a pick up service, however they told me this hotel was not on the pick up list (even a 5 minutes drive, can you believe?) It was so shame that the receptionist told that they have no idea and information about the place and price. Then the staff called a taxi asked for 400thb (it around 15 USD), but I told you, it only need about 5 USD as usual. Then what they ordered was not a taxi, turned up was a songthaew ( a local street van), it probably paid about 100 thb as normal price. The staff knew that I have to catch up my bus at 9am. So it was the way how they bully the guest in Pattaya! I felt so shame on their way to treat the guest! Hope Pattaya really bad reputation continuously keep the tourists away! We deserve a better city to spend our time and money! No more Pattaya!

“Don't expect a good nights sleep, it's soooo noisy.”

Not enough beds by the pool. For a hotel with 150 room, 6 sun loungers doesn't work. Pool area is so small, you can't even put a chair down. Very disappointing. WIFI painfully slow. Very poor for a modern hotel of this size. No WIFI by the pool. Noisy like you wouldn't believe. Guests shouting… more

Very poor for a modern hotel of this size. No WIFI by the pool. Noisy like you wouldn't believe. Guests shouting, slamming doors in the early hours. Do not expect a good nights sleep. The gym is tiny. I've been in bigger toilets!
