LK Metropole
LK Metropole is one of the older, more affordable hotels in the LK Group's large central Pattaya portfolio — a four-star on Second Road, right next to the group's LK Metro entertainment complex, that trades on price and location more than on polish. It's a genuinely central spot: a short walk to the beach, and steps from the bars, restaurants and go-go venues clustered around LK Metro, which makes it popular with visitors who want the nightlife on their doorstep. Facilities include a swimming pool with a waterfall feature, an on-site massage/spa, a sauna, a gym and a restaurant, with rooms that come with balconies and, in many cases, a fridge and microwave. The trade-offs are real and worth weighing: this is a dated hotel in places — reviewers mention a tired pool with loose tiling, cleanliness lapses, and the notable absence of a lift in parts of the building — and its position next to LK Metro means late-night noise (music and the occasional bang) carries into some rooms. Reviews are polarised: fans love the price and the location; critics flag housekeeping, worn fittings and mixed service. Rates typically open around 1,300–2,300 THB depending on season, undercutting the smarter LK hotels nearby. LK Metropole suits budget-minded, nightlife-focused travellers who want to roll out of bed into central Pattaya's bar scene and don't need a modern, quiet hotel to do it.
