Great Location”

Great staff. Good Breakfast buffet. Clean room if a little dated. Centrally located within all of Pattaya with plenty to do just off the steps of the hotel.

Always recommend this hotel”

I've always been happy with my stay here. Fantastic location, exceptional staff, and nice amenities. The gym could use a complete overhaul and they are currently doing renovations at the front of the hotel. A bit noisy at the moment at the smaller pool. The new restaurant and front area has been redone and they did an amazing job. So nice to sit out front, have a beer, grab some street food and watch the world go by.

Very good”

Good hotel , good location in Pattaya, very clean rooms and surrounding areas,two good pools. Main reception and areca building are currently being renovated looking forward to seeing this completed on my next visit. Only let down was some of the staff looked quite miserable, not a good advertisment for any hotel, but overall a good stay.

Very bad experience. Not favourable at all.. rude behaviour of staff..”

Do not opt for this hotel.. Changed hotel last moment on their own without prior information. Very rude behaviour of staff & receptionist Pool is good but other facilities are ok ok. They will CHARGE EXTRA if you stay 5 MINUTES extra after check out time.. Pathetic hotel..

Amazing as always”

No one for reviews, but this is an amazing place and staff, only ever been in the evergreen wing in the super deluxe. The second large pool is perfect and I don't think for the money you could get better.

Nice Place, Great Location”

I have stayed here before and like it a lot. Staff are great, facilities are nice with 2 pools and a gym, and the location is good. The only drawback this time is that one whole wing is in the midst of a major overhaul so there was loud construction noise and my view was of construction workers. If I had known that ahead of time I probably would have booked elsewhere but that will end.

Exceptional”

Super deluxe room was large. Nice touch was the clothes drying rack on the balcony. They use the key card slot to turn the power on but will issue a second card at no cost if asked, a far cry from my next hotel where they charged about $5 USD per day. Location of the Evergreen Wing was a good compromise: five minute walk to LK Metro or to 2nd Road, where one can catch the Baht Bus.

A slight unexpected 'hiccup' this year ...”

While I have unreservedly supported Areca Lodge for over 15 years now , on this occasion , largely due to some 'large scale hotel renovation work' , standards fell a little on what they have always been . Added to this , there seems , again for the first time , a little intrusion from the music coming from the bars across the road which I have never noticed before . The location of the hotel and the helpfulness of the majority of the staff are still bonus points for me , as is the free wi-fi and excellent breakfasts included in the price . I hope this year was only a glitch , in which case the hotel will continue to get my business.

Always stay here”

I've been staying here for the last 8 years. They are always improving the facilities. Great staff and awesome location!

Excellent”

Main building was under renovation but no noise or issues and I have stayed in the Evergreen Building before so had no issues. Two nice pools.

Super friendly staff”

Very clean hotel , we really enjoyed our stay there , you will see us next year again Patrick & Intira

The Best in Pattaya”

I always stay at the Areca when rooms are a available as it right in the heart of a lively South Pattaya. So I LK Metro is 1 minute away where there are decent bars and entertainment venues. Staff are always pleasant and helpful. The pools are always clean and busy too. There is refurbishment of the original wing going on at the moment so there are plenty of wormer there but unless you are on that side of the second building I don’t think this would inconvenience too much.

Just OK, but top location”

+ Great swimming pools Location, close bars, restaurants etc Water pressure is good, also hot/cold Drinks in the hotel are not expensive Rooms have a decent size ( also standard) - Renovation is going on, so party closed Gym is not a real gym, just a closet with a some equipment The hotel is old and that shows Shower in the bathtub TV signal is a bit grainy ( maybe differs per room) Very noisy AC and no remote control, need to get up to lower the AC. Balcony is to small with an AC unit, so really practical, but you can dry your clothes. Have walk to the other building for breakfast

construction work ongoing!”

the location is great there are several (3?) buildings with rooms, one of the is currently in progress of renovation, which is causing noise (work started 8am every day) the hotel has two pools and a gym. unfortunately, no airconditioning working in the gym, which makes it at 35°C and high humidity a real hell... also the gym equipment is only partly functioning and would need some attention

Good location”

Stayed in the Evergreen Wing in a super deluxe room. Nicely sized , well presented room. The Evergreen wing is also very quiet. Heard no street noise. Courteous and helpful staff. Good lord ation, short walk to beach , shopping centers and entertainment areas. Highly recommend

Disappointed prepayment in US dollars was not available”

I've stayed at the Areca lodge many times over five years. I was disappointed that this trip Agoda's usual "Pay in Advance" option was not available. Between my September booking and my travel the my price in dollars increased by 8%, or so. Of course the price in Baht was unchanged when I paid at hotel. I much prefer prepaying Agoda's price in dollars using a US bank. I hope the hotel, and Agoda, will be offering this for my next stay.

Great Hotel, great location”

Couldn't fault this hotel. Will be staying there again in August and I cant wait. Guest friendly which I loved the best. Also arrived 7 hours late (3.00 am) and the staff made sure that the check in was done quickly so I could get to my room and sleep.

Good budget hotel.”

Had everything I needed. Not bad hotel. The outside restaurant is nice if you are at the pool or in the morning , but if you want to cool off in afternoon or evening , its a little hot. Great food though. The air conditioner is a large unit on the balcony which blows hot air and is noisy so not very comfortable to sit on the balcony. But other wise room was clean, bed very comfortable, had all the things I needed . Great location right in the middle of everything. Easy to walk to places.

Lovely Staff.”

My stay at Areca Lodge was wonderful. Receptionists were great. Smiling and helpful. As you walk through the building all staff greet you with a smile and a sawadee ka or sawadee krup. Room was great with nice balcony. Breakfast was really good with very efficient staff. Pool was nice and enjoyed a couple of drinks at the pool bar. Location was really good and very close to bars and restaurants. Hotel is guest friendly. I really enjoyed my stay and will definately stay again. Thank you Areca.

Great location”

Areca Lodge is perfectly placed only a short stroll from the heart of the LK Metro area, one of Pattaya's leading nightlife centers. The facilities are top notch, if starting to show some where and tear. Expansion is underway, so there is construction at the front of the hotel which makes it not look as inviting as it could. Because of its spread out design, it is often a long walk to the rooms at the back, but those same back rooms are very quiet since the are farther removed from the noisy bars on Soi Diana. Decent breakfast buffet, and the rooms all have all the standard mod-cons, including an in-room safe, phone, speedy wifi and good hot water.
