Hi guys, i was looking over soiDB website, and stumbled on Rinya apartments and kitchen.
Well, it appears pretty neat from outside, but i failed to find any other info on it . I wonder if there someone who stayed in Rinya or had a meal in their restaurant ? Would be great to hear anything, good or bad ( meal/rooms rates, quality of premises and what facilities they have, etc)
Thanks

Stayed here many times during the years, truth is I just checked out two weeks ago after staying for 2 months!
Small and friendly place with a Bakery and Pizza Restaurant out front called "Loaf".
Didn't eat at the restaurant, but they are supposed to have tasty pizzas!
Used to have Thaifood as well with roomservice, but now converted to a bakery with breads and pizzas.

Different sized rooms.
Front rooms are mediumsized nice and bright with windows, but some streetnoise from 24 hour traffic can be annoying.
Some of the frontrooms have a small balcony others not.

They have smaller more quiet and darker rooms in the middle of the building with tiny balconies, OK to hang your laundry out to dry, but obstructed view because close to next building.

Rooms on the backside are bigger with separate japstyle aircon bedroom with matress directly on the floor and with glassdoors and fan cooled dining-room with kitchen corner with Microwave and sink also bigger balcony with watertap and place to hang your clothes.

Topfloor has Fanrooms also I think.
There's a fan in every aircon room as well, if you like it better than the aircon.

It's been open at least 8 years, although outside and the restaurant has recently got new paint, the rooms are old.
Said that it's a clean and very friendly place.
Except for the frontrooms it's a very quiet place inspite of being situated right behind 7/11 at Pattaya's busiest streetcorner Soi Bua Khao/Soi Lengkee/Soi Dianna Inn!

Minuses are very low waterpressure in the showers, just about enough for a shower, but could be better.
Shower area in the small rooms is also cramped with just place for one person at a time, slightly bigger bathrooms in the other rooms.

I stayed in the small rooms for 13000 baht a month all inclusive.
Cleaned every second day if you stay on a monthly basis and drinking water and toilet paper you have to buy except for first night.
I think small room is 690 baht if you pay per night and room cleaned every day, including drinking water and toilet paper.

I had a small problem with the old aircon, hasn't been changed since opening I think and also quite noisy, termostat wouldn't stop the cooling when the temperature was reached, didn't use the aircon much though because room was pretty cool at night anyway in January/February.
Room also a bit dark, good for a long sleep but difficult to read in!

One big bonus is the newly installed free Wireless Internet that worked well without interuption during my stay!
That was my main reason for staying here.
Front and small rooms also have a small bench/sofa and table, big rooms have dining table and chairs and a comfy rattan chair for TV watching.

Contact details and adress:
Rinya House
312/88 M.9 Soi Lengkee
Tel.038 427615-6

no website
Book online here

Friendly staff, Good location, Free Wireless Internet, nice price, but always check out the room first that everything is OK!
Rinya House has quite a few repeat visitors so best to book in advance!
The tiny reception is through a small glassdoor at the left side of the restaurant.
Girlfriendly doesn't even keep the girls IDcards, although there is a guy watching the place at night usually sitting in the restaurant.
They were just starting to set up CCTV when I was there for better safety!

Wonderful review. Do you know how much they charge for big room on a daily basis.
Thank you Plahgat.

[timezone]

Have you ever come across Chaiyapoon inn near that area. Do you have any info about that Plahgat. Your help will be greatly appreciated.

I stayed there for 4 nights last year,and i agree with everything plahgat says.

The only thing i didnt like was, i was in the room at the front of the building,and the noise off soi lenkee was very hard to block out,and the shower had very low pressure,but other than that it is a great little place.

What kind of room did you stay in?
The problem with noise is only standard room, or also studio with kitchenette and one bedroom with kitchenette?

Yeah it was the standard room at the front,cheap and cheerful.

[plahgat]

Rooms inside and at the back are very quiet!

Where is the "one bedroom with kitchenette"? front, inside or back?

I'm unfortunately a "light sleeper" (but I may sleep with earplugs if it's too much noise outside)

Wow, this really seems like a nice option for my 1 1/2 month trip.

[Sledneck]

Rinya House vs Canterbury Tales? Any opinions?

I have stayed in both and i would recommend Rinya,a lot of people go on about Canterbury tales and i dont know why,the food is nice but the rooms are not.

So you recommend Rinya in this area? What about hotels with swimming pool like Sutus Court, Opey de Place - Is it better value?

HI Mate
May I ask what the problems were when you stayed at Canterbury Tales & which room, I see from Rinya's photos that many of my rooms although maybe not as new but certainly bigger with the separate bedroom & lounge, one of the frustrations for any business owner is to read stuff like this and for guests not to mention when they are here so please a heads up if you will.
Cheers Dave

It's at the back and is quiet except for a rooster that woke me up for a few nights! 555

Here are some more pictures of big room, taken in 2009.

Here are some pictures of front room also taken in 2009.

Personally I like this room the best, just pity about the street noise!
