Absolutely fantastic hotel”

It was our first trip to Pattaya. Having no knowledge of the place, I searched for the best location of our stay. I found Dusit D2 Baraquda and read through many reviews on hotel booking sites including Tripadvisor. Most of the reviewers were giving 5 for ratings. So I decided to stay here. We liked the cool, unique and modern interior and lay out of the lobby, lounge and the guest room very much. The gym and the swimming pool are somewhat small, but good enough for use. What we liked most was the service mind of the hotel staff. All the receptionists, house keepers, shop clerks, cleaners and even the guards were so friendly. Everybody was smiling toward us all the time. We sincerely thank all the staff members of Dusit D2 Baraquda for the incredibly pleasant staying experience. I simply recommend this hotel to anyone who is wondering where to stay in Pattaya.

Baraquda staff and location are great. ”

Hey guys I have to start off with the pros of the Baraquda hotel in Pattaya. All of the staff are amazing. All of them were there to help me out when I needed it. My friend and I wanted to go see a kick boxing agent at Max arena and Gigi, Jack, and oil, were all over it. They arranged getting the tickets for us and setting up transportation. That's only one of the many things the staff did for us. She did a fantastic job on doing my room every day. I also going to give shout outside to Pepe, Pete, and Nop. If I'm missing anyone please forgive me. The only cons I can think of are that the rooms are a little dated, and they are advertised as 5 star rooms but for American standards It felt more like a 4 star experience. For any future trips I make to pattaya I'm going to be staying at the Baraquda hotel. Again the staff are out of this world, and the location is awesome.

Great hotel suffering from "pseudo-hipness"”

Just had to go to Pattaya for a night, so I chose one of the more central hotels. The Dusit D2 Baraquda is on 2nd street. If you're going to Pattaya and have to be near the center, that's where you should stay. It's a fairly new hotel, interesting architecture, super-friendly staff, welcome coffee on the house, a huge pool right behind the lobby, and overall, it's a great place. The devil is in the details, though - in this case the rooms. This is what happens when you tell an unexperienced designer to do a "hip", fashionable hotel-room. You end up with a huge bed in the middle of the room, an open toilet, a washing station somewhere near the door and a shower where it's unclear where it begins and where it ends. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed my overnight stay, but I am allergic against unsubstantiated design attacks on my senses - especially when form does not follow function. Still, I'd still go there again, and even recommend it to friends - with some cautionary words of advice.

Pretty darn good, but not perfect”

I stayed at the Dusit D2 Baraquda in November 2009 for one week. I stayed in a "studio suite" room, which was extraordinarily spacious and comfortable. Service was impeccable. Everyone was kind, friendly and efficient. The pool area is beautiful for a fairly small, urban-like space. The location is great, right on Second Road within a block of restaurants, shopping malls and the beach. The bed was very comfortable, and the bathroom was quite luxurious, with double sinks, an enormous shower, and a Jacuzzi bathtub easily big enough for three. The restaurant, bar and lounge areas were very nice, although there were few customers when I was there. I feel like I got a lot of value for the price (approximately US$250/night). I have two complaints. First, the room was somewhat dirty, dirtier than you would expect for a hotel of this class. It wasn't disgusting, but there was a fair amount of dust on the floor and some surfaces, and some areas of the bathroom where water accumulates had mold growth. The shower sometimes had the smell of mildew. Second, there was no desk or table in the room. Pictures of the studio suite on Dusit's Web site showed a desk in the bedroom and a small eating table in the sitting room. My suite had neither of these. I needed to do some work when I was there, and it was inconvenient not to have a desk. Overall, I was very happy with my stay and will stay there again when I am in Pattaya.

Nice Hotel in Pattaya”

Second time staying at Baraquda Hotel, great hotel, good location for walking to the action, bars, restaurants and shopping in Pattaya. Helpful staff, nice room, good facilities for gym and swimming pool, nice roof top bar and night club bar, breakfast was good quality, but selection could be wider and changed every day. Overall I would recommend Baraquda and will stay there again.

Turly amazing hotel”

I have been stayed in most of 4/5 stars hotel in Pattaya, and I must said Baraquda is the best so far I ever stayed in Pattaya. Every staff just always give extra mile to care us. And the room is just so nice and comfortable. Plus its location, I really have no place would like to try in the future if I will visit pattaya again. This is the place and only place indeed.

Our stay with the Hotel is Great!”

Our stay with the hotel was great. My kids love the pool and the food. Hotel services and staff are flawless. All of the staffs can speak English very well. Hotel is also centrally located to Pattaya. Hence, we are able to shop, dine and have fun day & night. Even with our limited stay there, Hotel Baraquda made our stay wonderful that we would want to go back there again.

Almost perfect!”

I really enjoyed staying Dusit D2 Baraquda Pattaya Hotel, due to its outstanding housekeeping and room services. I stayed there for 6 days, and really liked: •It is nearby to the seaside (150m) •Its new and has nice furniture. •Clean rooms. But unfortunately, I was surprised to see that: •In my smoking room, I couldn’t find any ash trays unless I talk to room service. •It was strange that the rooms were not furnished enough. e.g. no sofa’s, tables, place to sit in the room.

Luxery stay in the heart of Pattaya”

I experienced 4 nights at the Dusit D2 during my two and a half week stay in Pattaya. Normally this hotel would have been out of my league pricewise but obtained a great deal through Agoda. Have stayed at nearly a dozen hotels over the last 5 years of going to Pattaya and can honestly say this was the best. Fabulous rooms with the most comfortable beds that I have experienced in all my stays in Pattaya. Lovely poolside area, very quiet, perhaps due to low season. Good gym and sps area. Efficient and friendly staff who greet you with freindly gestures all day and all night. Will definately make a return visit here if Agoda can continue with the special offers.

Enjoyable stay at Baraquda, again”

I have stayed at the Baraquda several times, and although the property is wearing a bit due to its age, its still a great Hotel centrally located in Pattaya. The Customer service is good, pool is nice and my room always well cleaned. I will stay there again, hopefully the property will be well maintained and decorations improved before my next visit.

Wonderful suite”

I booked a suite at the Baraquda for a fraction of what I paid at the Hilton Pattaya (although the Hilton is worth it) . The suite was fantastic and spacious with an in room Jacuzzi. Only issue for me is breakfast is really limited and they appear to have forgotten western cuisine. I have booked again but not with breakfast. Great hotel though and a great location.

amazing hotel!!”

we were in honeymoon for a month in hong kong philipines and thailand stayed at 5 stars hotels which some of them were realy good, but nothing compered to dusit d2 baraquda in pattaya!! exelent staff, beutifull design and perfect room, we couldn't ask for more, and lucky us we had just one hotel left after it... even the location is very good. very recomanded!!

A great place.”

Overall my experince of the hotel was a great one. It was located in just the right spot of Pattaya. Shopping centers were right next door and walking street was only a few blocks away. The hotel staff was just amazing and so kind to everyone. The would help me with all of the activity I wanted to do. They would call and make everything so much simpler. In the end, I made a great decision on stay that the Dusit D2 Baraquda.

A very enjoyable stay at Dusit D2 Pattaya”

A very enjoyable stay at the Dusit D2 Pattaya. I was travelling with 3 people and booked 2 standard rooms and a duplex suit. The condition, comfort and standard of all rooms was 5 star, with boutique style designs. The duplex suit was exceptional and probably one of the best hotel suites I have stayed in for the price. Breakfast buffet was good, although there seemed to be some problems with water leakage from air cons in the dining area. The Hotel staff were very friendly, welcoming and helpful. Good views of Pattaya from the roof top bar. I would stay at the Dusit D2 if I visit Pattaya again.

Wondeful hotel”

this is a wow hotel. check in in sofa with a free beer, that’s make me feel good the first second. i travel a lot and let me tell you this is one of the best hotels i stay (outside of 5 stars famous hotels chains). if you compare with the ritz from paris of course is not going to be sooo good. but this is one of the best hotels i stay. the staff is amazing, always smile (normally en thailand), helpful, 24/7 open. rooms good, swimming pool perfect, hotel size good in the middle of everything in pattaya. in the other side, pattaya is like bangkok (smaller) but with beach. soooo many massages, bars, exchange money, shopping, drink, party, and all day beach with beer. i recommend go to pattaya and to this hotel. one detail only and i say also in lobby when i leave, the internet works sooooooooo bad. that need to improve.

The Best hotel in Pattaya!”

there are not many good hotels in pattaya and dusit d2 baraquda is one of those rare places! the staff is very nice and friendly. we could feel that they work with incredible service-mind. the lobby is uniquely decorated with choices of welcome drinks served upon arrival. the swimming pool is fascinating! everything we need is in our d'suite. we will surely come back again!

Great Stay Once Again...”

Had a great stay as always at the Hotel Baraquda(Formerly the D2). Suite was clean and spacious. The front desk is always courteous, warm, and friendly. The value is amazing compared to other similar properties in the Pattaya area. Shout out to my favorite front desk receptionist, Poly :) If you haven't already, I recommend giving this hotel a try.

D2 Baraquda review”

To escape Bangkok curfew, we spent a weekend in Pattaya with visiting friends. Here is their review: "- chic peace amid porno chaos : if you like elegant spaces and a smartly dressed staff then this hotel is for you - centrally located in the hussle and bussle of Pattaya the D2 is a great place to be if you can spend a little extra cash - the rooms are a decent size and stimulate the senses with their cool design - the pool is the main attraction as it unifies the modern entrance with the spa and restaurant - the restaurant like most hotel restaurants wants to be good but they don't have the turn-over to keep everything fresh and focused"

A perfect stay at the D2 during Songkran”

Had another perfect stay at the D2 during the madness of Songkran week in Pattaya. We travel to Pattaya several times a year and although I occasionally stray from the D2 to check out other 5 star offerings (Thani, Amari, Hilton, Marriott) I always come back. Its location is perfect for getting around, its not on the beach but that's not an issue for us. The hotel itself is really modern and feels like an oasis from the chaos of Pattaya. Sitting by the pool drinking cocktails you could easily forget where you are. The staff are amazing - as its a small hotel you really get to know all of the staff and everyone from the porters as you get out of the taxi, to reception and the cleaning maids are just super friendly and efficient. They make you feel like a star while you are there. I travel quite a bit for work and I've honestly not encountered a better trained group of staff.

Best in Pattaya? ”

I will probably always stay here. For some reason Agoda only caught on of my stays here during my 19-days. I stayed earlier for 6 days including the D'Suite Townhouse room for a night. Had a very nice party, in very posh, over the top accommodations. I can't afford that room every night but it was worth it. Great hotel with #1 Staff in Pattaya. All for under US$100 usually. I will stay here again DEFINITELY. Thank you, D2 Baraquda!
