Lodging question
Gentlemen, I am new here and was out in AC during July, and I'm now planning a trip to Pattaya in May.
I am looking at staying at either the Vault Hotel or Galaxy Suites. Can anyone provide any first hand information on either of these places? |

Sorry mate can't help you personally,but the Pattaya pages board http://www.pattayatalk.com/forums/ has an extensive hotel review section with your mentioned hotels listed.

If you want a pool and and some services, get a proper hotel. Neither the Vault or Galaxy are that, more like B&Bs. Don't know about wi-fi.
I suggest you really prioritise the facilities you need and post up a daily budget as some of the rooms say at the Vault are not available at cheap rates. We can then give you some more appropriate alternatives.

Not sure by your post if you've been to Pattaya before but if you have, then the Residence Garden at around 1400 a night is a suite hotel and might work for you. All the bedrooms are separate from the rest of the inside and there's an AC unit in the bedroom and a different sytem for the L/R. Regular-sized refrigerator and a two-burner stove top and balcony with table and chairs overlooks the front pool and the major street, Pratamnak. There's 2 pools and a buffet-style restaurant attached, a barbeque buffet deal that's decent. The R.G. is just up the hill on the way to Jomtien about 100 meters from the freeway overpass that leads to the back or south end of Walking Street. You could walk from the R.G. to Walking St. in 10-15 minutes and baht busses go by continuously. They have wi-fi in the rooms but I think it costs a little bit extra. Also there's an internet cafe directly beside the hotel the last I heard. On the FLB board (http://www.flbbar.com/) they advertise it, if you mention that board in an email to the R.G. the rate is 1399 baht.
I've seen pictures of the Vault's rooms and they seem spacious with lots of top features like quality stereo systems, DVD players, etc. but they were a little over-the-top for what I need in a room. Have never heard anything bad on the boards about the Vault from people who have stayed there though. The Vault is very close to Walking St., just several minutes by foot. |

Just trying to get a feel for what you wanted. I know the Vault but would not stay there as I like a pool and value that. I also live here so I have a different perspective I understand.
You'll have no problems at the Vault I believe but the rooms with all the facilities were quite pricy I seem to remember. Their website quotes Bt2800 for the Penthouse rooms and that is more than most people will pay. For the same price as a basic room you could have a proper hotel.

the gogo pole
How is the gogo pole they advertise exists with the bar in the penthouse?
I can see how some people might want a place like this for the private bar and gogo pole, plus the jacuzzi, for private partying |

With all the excellent hotels in Pattaya why you want concentrate on these two especially if your budget is flexible?? Both hotels are in poor positions IMO.
