The Flipper Lodge is an older hotel that has been refurbished quite recently, located on Soi 8 is right in the heart of one of the biggest beer bar enclaves of Pattaya and just 60m from the beach so it’s not exactly for the quiet traveller but those who want all the action right up your front door. I recommed staying in the backside in wing B, it does help mute down all from all those beer bars and has recently been renovated, only downside is there’s no balcony or view from them. Rooms are basic but quite decent with all the required commodoties, king size bed was a little hard but still sleep well, bathroom is a little small, and very powerful Air-Con. The Flipper Lodge amenities include a rooftop pool area with bar which offers good views across Pattaya and it’s bay, plenty of lounge chairs to relax in, food served there is also quite good, proper sun trap. Staff are friendly and always, you can bring back different joiners over the course of the evening, as long as you keep it to one at a time there’s no extra fees. Have a look below for the pictures I have personally took during my stay of the room and hotel amenities.

What you see below are the actual pictures I took when staying in their Superior room
Here waiting for a few minutes for an early check in at the Flipper Lodge
Located in Building B, the Superior rooms are clean and well maintained
First impressions are quite good, the amenities found in the room are very decent
Bed was comfortable and the rooms are big enough, definitely a solid option to consider if you are a single traveler looking for fun and girls right in the middle of the action on Soi 8
Talking about girls, this is the one I tested the joiner policy with a few hours later. Found her in a bar just across the street from the now certified Guest Friendly Flipper Lodge
So no worries about joiner fees at the Flipper Lodge
Mini-bar area has the usual drinks and snacks with two free bottle of water
Rooms in building B are a bit more modern and all have a flatscreen TV
The rooftop pool area is quite nice with its own bar serving reasonably priced drinks
From which you get a scenic view of the beach and surrounding Pattaya
Bathroom facilities are pretty decent as well
With a Basic set of free toiletries found next to the sink
Shower is a little cramped but plenty powerful with no shortage of hot water
Just opposite from the bathroom toilet
Set of seats with small table next to the bed
Mini-bar area is pretty well stocked
View over Pattaya beach from the bar area with the Hilton just next door
