I've been in jasmine hotel 20 days in july and i conferm that is a very good hotel, clean and centrally located but there is a problem that cant'be not to know : in the morning the sun come in the room through the window curtain and don't let to sleep. I changed 3 rooms but without any result and when i have been leaving i spoke to the manager, mr William about the absolute need to change the curtain and to put a dark curtain. He told that the owner know very well this problem because many customers complained about the extreme difficulty to sleep in the morning because of the thin curtain. We'll see.

I know what you mean,that's why I always stay in the ground floor rooms(example-room 105).There's no windows there.
Surprise Mr.William didn't mention to you that.
Cheers

Sorry to hear that you had this problem Ronny. I wrote on another thread about the Jasmine that if you wanted a dark room then the ground floor was best for this.

Hopefully the owners will take your advice.

Perhaps they are just BLIND

Otherwise, it may just be CURTAINS for the Jasmine Hotel !

It may pay to keep a pair of Eye shades from the aeroplane to get some sleep in the interim.



Cheers

I stayed at the Jasmine in June. It was fine.

BUT, a long-term LB friend of mine said she - and some others confirmed this - wouldn't go down that soi - because earlier in the year the men in brown had set up a LB-fine job there. And she believed they'd do it again.

I suspect this was a one-off police thing. But it sure had put the willies up my friend (no pun intended).

So...I moved.

Make of this what you will.

I don't think there is any problem in Soi BJ now. I have personally been propositioned many times by LBs in Soi BJ near to the hotel and in broad daylight too. Last time I was there a LB was kissing a potential customer outside the hotel opposite the Jasmine, in the end he didn't go with her but it made good viewing watching the "negociations", th staff in the Jasmine seemed facinated by the scene and were giggling a little at the antics of the couple opposite. Also some LBs have rooms in the hotel next door to the Jasmine and I've been invited back to their room there a couple of times. So, it would seem that any BIB problems in Soi BJ are in the past.

hey all, did some checking and was quoted 700 baht a night during the xmas period for a deluxe room. Superior rooms where not available. I usually stay in areca lodge or dynasty inn, but want to move closer to the action a bit. Anyone knows a place in that area which does have rooms with balcony ???

[ronny]

Take a superior de luxe room : it has a little balcony.

[mindyourmind]

stayed at jasmine earlier in august this year. the manager is a very cool guy, the rooms are great, met some nice people there, free internet and the best bit, it's literally a one minute walk from Jenny star bar. this means you can come back to your room and have a drink, a shower, freshen up a bit and then head back to the action when you're ready.

the only problem is that right across the road there's a place called pattaya mansion (i could be wrong. please correct me if i am.). stay AWAY from that place. it's bad news and is yabba central. got myself in some trouble there.
