Thx Johnny for this super hotel review and walk. I enjoyed it very very much.

[@Sunjib12345]

Hi Johnny How Are You Great Video Good Job Keep Up The Great Work!

[@TriggLu]

Congratulations this is the 1st review I have seen of this hotel looks good . Decent price as well £60 a night will have to look at that for my next trip after the one I start on Saturday .

[@martym61]

Nice video. Great room. Beautiful views.

[@fansbusesgaming]

awesome hotel view!

[@ThailandDow]

Just come back last night. I stayed at the amethyst and the at the Debua both really nice but amethyst is the one for me plus it has more facilities like room, service or restaurant and a gym and the shop across the road called blow. If you know you know 😉

[@stevek343]

Great video, I was thinking about booking this hotel. Good info.

[@watereddown1s]

I winder if the 'circle indicators' are connecting to their pc's via software enabling them to be more proactive. Great customer service feature none-the-less. Thanks for sharing, just booked for Nov. and new sub!

[@michaelf8837]

Yes there's a bathtub in the Blackwood Hotel I've stayed there before also I think rooms are much bigger and my plan is to stay at this hotel in June !

[@sodapopcurtis7396]

nice review, are the tiles too hot to walk on when you get out the pool

[@Ramon_92]

Actually walked passed this hotel several times when i stayed at Holiday Inn never noticed it but damn it looks nice gonna try and see if i can stay here for atleast 1 night . Its hella expensive tho for average Thai hotel prices around 50+ euro's a night .

[@trvlmin]

Stayed twice, great location and that bed is A1 best ever. The breakfast if staying in the hotel is 130THB. For a bath upgrade to the Premier King Room.

[@chadpendergast6025]

No Iron or Ironing board? Thanks for the view

[@yeagerbomb1965]

I booked the Amethyst hotel for this December, and I canceled my previous room at the Holiday Inn like you did lol. I got a better vibe from the Amethyst. After watching your cool video walk and review, I'm glad I did 😎 Good job making this video!!

[@JohnnyStumbles]

You're welcome and I think you'll enjoy it. It's def the better of the two!

[@Chillybnv]

Going too in December.

[@Sumikhanvlogs]

😮😮 Good location

[@mitch1455]

I'm booked to stay in that hotel next month for 3 week's. I've never been to Thailand before.

[@anthonywall6825]

near to everything great location.

[@burtpowers3365]

Great vid🙌🏾

[@burtpowers3365]

Was that an empty hot jacuzzi next to pool? I wonder will it be up and running eventually

[@burtpowers3365]

?

[@JohnnyStumbles]

I think so.. hopefully they sort it out.

[@irishjonny11]

nice review buddy...........im staying here for 3 weeks........dec 6 until dec 27........got the room for 50 euros a night....B=B.....but i had to pay up front for that price...otherwise it was 110 a night for payment at hotel,,,,

[@lardaerts2749]

I saw your great vid and immediately booked the last standard room for the first two weeks of July).sorry, folks

[@Sukhumvit1]

Nice one , just looking at this hotel for next week. Looks decent. I usually stay in the Areca but fancy a change

[@JohnnyStumbles]

The Areca is hit or miss depending which building you get (based on the few times I've stayed here). I quite like the Amethyst but it can be more $ than the Areca for sure. The Blackwoods looks like a nice alternative to Areca in a similar $ range IMO.

[@naugustus939]

Nice video. Shouldve showed more of the gym

[@phillipr1334]

Brand new one 50 metres from yours very similar hotel near soi boomerang near highway bar

[@gordonwchas]

amethyst pronounced ăm′ə-thĭst. Amethyst is the February birthstone. Otherwise enjoyed the tour

[@RayJarvis-zh7be]

is it guest friendly?

[@rawberrie4059]

kool video! is it guest friendly?

[@Jack-em7nr]

i have done some research and apparently it is.

[@user-qo8jq8zb7z]

@jhonny can you please do the review for new hotel name Pooh Beach Resort and Spa

[@bradleys4783]

Thanks for the vid. But.... walking on Soi Bucky is like taking a death march, every time.

[@SheenaRoberts]

Hi Johnny, thanks very much for showing us all the hotels/Airbnbs you stayed at during your trips around Asia, I have enjoyed them all & you certainly picked them well! This hotel is fab - really liked the lobby it looks stunning. The room does look small but the decor makes it look cosy & inviting. Great to see all the amenities -this hotel sure does look after its guests 😊 Have got to say this one & the Siam Design Hotel I think are the best ones out of all the places you stayed at 😊👍 many thanks!

[@kevinf-b5065]

It's not an ocean, it is the Gulf of Thailand

[@4xbrian135]

Any noise at night?

[@rakeshanand8609]

How far from the tree town??

[@TheRobertino2001]

The breakfast buffet was fairly extensive and good value. Pay daily. It was 150bht when I was there in Feb. Booking sites charge a lot more.

[@alexandervogtsanchez7522]

Booked this for August/September. Let's see how it goes

[@JohnnyStumbles]

How was it?

[@alexandervogtsanchez7522]

@JohnnyStumbles totally worth it. Best hotel I have stayed in pattaya. Booked a suite + breakfast for like 87 € / night. Downside is I had to wait 5 hours to check-in because arrived to pattaya around 7:30 . Should have booked the previous night lol. Edit: they were doing a massive road work in front, so little bit messy to leave and enter the hotel. They are finishing in the next few weeks though

[@JohnnyStumbles]

@@alexandervogtsanchez7522 That's awesome, glad you enjoyed it!!!

[@roberth7894]

It's pronounced am-eh-thyst FYI. Nice review

[@Somerset976]

Are you allowed to bring "guests" to the hotel?

[@Somerset976]

@@jimmy-iq8lh 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@kevinf-b5065]

Bathrooms have basins, kitchens have sinks.

[@b_b762x51]

How was the noise level at night, i.e., any warnings/suggestions for light sleepers?

[@TheRobertino2001]

I stayed in a room at the front and had no problem with noise. After 2 am the whole area is like a ghost town anyway.

[@b_b762x51]

@@TheRobertino2001 thank you for the helpful feedback

[@mikemyers7317]

Debua very old just reopened. Amethyst not put rest to shame in area. You need to dig a little deeper, not a four star, not even close.

[@jonbyrnes4349]

Is it guest friendly ?

[@TheRobertino2001]

Yes 👍

[@Chillybnv]

I saw that it was online. Going to this hotel in December. Can't wait.

[@nickjacques6087]

It is not very nice to book a room at multiple hotels and then cancel. Thank you for the review.

[@mattbryan8535]

Totally perplexes me that 95 percent of hotels in Thailand don't have reasonable shade around their pools - for me always a deal breaker!!

[@stevek343]

The pool is for sun tanning, dummy.

[@piotrekmarzec6044]

Better Anethyst or Arbour Hotel and Residence? I want pick up girl from street to hotel for night 😎

[@JohnnyStumbles]

lol I can't comment on that second part but Amethyst has the better location.

[@bradleys4783]

Sorry.... ridiculous prices.

[@JohnnyStumbles]

Compared to what you pay in the west for this standard of hotel it's an absolute steal. Hell in Bangkok this would cost nearly double.
