Nicholas Ramsden 2009-04-09	Areca Lodge, Pattaya, 2nd Rd. (North) This is a very nice hotel and very good value. It is in busy location down a small soi and, whilst being close to the action, inside the hotel is like a little oasis with a very nice pool area. Rooms are reasonably sized, clean with good facilities including in-room safe, tea & coffee etc. Staff were friendly and service was very good.	Quick and efficient. No problems. It would be nice if instant confirmation were available though.

Mr Adrian Jones 2008-11-06	Areca Lodge, Pattaya, 2nd Rd. (North) Clean hotel and friendly staff though building work going on around both pools so quite noisy during the day. Hotel location is surrounded by bars and restaurants so the bar girls are very in your face. Pattaya is not a suitable resort for young families.	Easy to use and efficient.

Norman Schwarz 2008-10-23	Areca Lodge, Pattaya, 2nd Rd. (North) Rooms, breakfast and faclilities are ok and value for the money. Around the big pool is a building construction in progress, a litle bit noisy. One negative thing happened: Something was stolen from my room. But this is the only i can complain about.	excellent as known.

Rolf Karkowski 2008-09-28	Areca Lodge, Pattaya, 2nd Rd. (North) Spitzenmäßig wie immer, TOP,	Exellent wie immer!!!
JEFFREY SWILKS 2008-09-28	Areca Lodge, Pattaya, 2nd Rd. (North) I stayed at Areca in late September 2008 and it was a great experience. Rooms clean and more than adequate for the price. Pool was excellent and my teenage children enjoyed it. Areca is well located and central to most things in Pattaya. Breakfast was more than adequate for both western and oriental tastes as I sampled both finding it much better than many other hotels of a similar level we stayed at in Thailand. Only disappointment was not being able to get in again a week later due to the hotel being full. I will definitely stay there again if I return to Pattaya. My only negative comment is the number of older western men staying with young Thai girls at the hotel - however if that upsets you dont bother coming to Pattaya as that is the norm.	Very efficient and easy to use.
IAN BROWN 2008-09-21	Areca Lodge, Pattaya, 2nd Rd. (North) As always Areca Lodge is my first choice. Lovely staff - and remembered me from my last trip. Back there in 2 months time !	Easy !
Anthony Battin 2008-09-18	Areca Lodge, Pattaya, 2nd Rd. (North) Again the best of the numerous hotels I have stayed in Thailand. Will definitely be going back, hopefully in April. Staff are great (Lek on the front reception is terrific) Yu s bar over the road is also very good as are most of them.	Terrific, no problems yet and have used them about a dozen times. Thank you.
Peter Lucian Ostrowski 2008-09-12	Areca Lodge, Pattaya, 2nd Rd. (North) On every visit, top-notch staff and accommodations. Excellent value for the money. Maybe that s why I need to book far in advance to get a room at Areca Lodge.	Fast and reliable. Easy to pay thru Siam Commercial Bank online.
Johnny Soencksen 2008-09-11	Areca Lodge, Pattaya, 2nd Rd. (North) In Executive Room. Nice big clean room, a very friendly staff and a very good breakfast. Good and clean pool. Cheap (50 bath/day) but not free internet. I will go there again, if i go to Pattaya again.	Without any problems.
Mikhael Awwad 2008-09-01	Areca Lodge, Pattaya, 2nd Rd. (North) Friendly and very efficient staff.Highly recommended hotel.My 3. stay at the Areca and certainly not the last.	Booking through sawadee is reliable and efficient.I have always booked my hotels in Thailand at Sawadee.
Tan YY 2008-08-26	Areca Lodge, Pattaya, 2nd Rd. (North) nice and clean hotel with 2 pools. worth for money. the restaurant of hotel provide good food with reasonable price as well (ALTHOUGH a little bit saltly, but just nice if you have it with rice)	good and secure.
Tom sweden 2008-08-23	Areca Lodge, Pattaya, 2nd Rd. (North) Another great stay at Areca. Nice pool, little noisy with the construction but there building everywhere. Good breakfust. Very nice and alert staff. Will stay here again.	Simply the best...
ETTan 2008-08-17 until 2008-08-19	Areca Lodge, Pattaya, 2nd Rd. (North) I was greatly satisfied with the room provided which was nice and comfortable. Room was spacious with balcony, bathtub and safe-box + many tv channels to choose from. There are 2 pools that you can choose to swim and with jacuzzi facility at one side! Morning breakfast with variety and was nice. Nice reception staffs and will definately return to Areca Lodge when back to Pattaya!	No problems encounter with the booking with Sawadee. Great service!
Thomas (Sweden) 2008-08-17	Areca Lodge, Pattaya, 2nd Rd. (North) Nice hotel with large rooms and nice breakfast. 2 swimmingpools are great.	Worked perfekt.
G R Theron 2008-08-10 until 2008-08-17	Areca Lodge, Pattaya, 2nd Rd. (North) The Areca Lodge is a good,clean well located hotel to stay at a very good price.Reception staff very friendly with smiles even late at night.Some of the restuarant staff are unfriendly and not very helpfull.We have stayed at the Areca twice and will definetly stay there again on our next visit to Pattaya.Book well in advance if you plan to stay at the Areca because it is a very popular hotel.	Exellent!!!!
Lee Kian Tiong 2008-08-10 until 2008-08-11	Areca Lodge, Pattaya, 2nd Rd. (North) Quality of the room is acceptable. However, the hotel is very unaccommdating regarding extension of check out time. My flight back home is 8.15pm and have requested for late check out at 2pm which they refusing profusely. Insisting that they are experiencing high occupancy which I find it hard to believe as the hotel was pretty quiet actually. Also the breakfast spread is limited. Location of the hotel is about 10 min to the sea but easily 30 min to walking street. For the same price, I think one can easily get a hotel nearer to the beach. will not stay there again.	Efficient and fast though rate are sometime higher than other online websites.
P. Ostrowski 2008-08-03 until 2008-08-06	Areca Lodge, Pattaya, 2nd Rd. (North) this was my second stay there. cheerful service from staff, clean rooms, great location, and reasonable rates. i will be back.	pretty efficient for me until they wanted a fax confirmation of the bank transfer. they finally accepted a scanned document instead.
Jeffrey Steven Elsmore 2008-07-28 until 2008-08-04	Areca Lodge, Pattaya, 2nd Rd. (North) The hotel is quite good value for money. However, the rooms are a bit worn and tired looking. I found the building work next door a bit noisy during the day and that stopped me sitting around the pool. The balcony I had was tiny and not of any use. The breakfast was good and the staff were friendly and helpful. The location of the hotel is great if you want to be near the centre of town and close to the bars. I am unsure if I would stay there again.	First class, easy booking - as usual.
