Areca Lodge Hotel is a favoured place by many repeat visitors to Pattaya, many will not even consider staying anywhere else. I stayed for a few nights in early October 2017 and this is a video documenting the hotel and some of the facilities you get for your money...

The good, the bad and the ugly:
Good things:
- Clean room
- 2 excellent swimming pools
- Excellent location, perfect for the LK Metro gogo bars and the baht buses of central Pattaya
- Cheap minibar prices
- Complimentary buffet breakfast comes with the room (unfortunately, I never rose early enough to try it)
- Rooms are very quiet in the day and night, not much bar or traffic noise
- Bathtubs in all rooms
The bad
- Ageing hotel, it does show in a few places
- Not many plug sockets in the room
- Bathroom could have done with a separate shower
- WIFI issues, I didn't have any problems but in many online reviews this does come up
The Ugly:
- Very small balconies on the Corona Wing
Overall: I liked the Areca Lodge hotel and it's easy to see why so many repeat visitors only ever stay here. It's not a perfect hotel (none are) and is showing it's age a bit. I particularly liked the excellent location with the LK Metro gogo bars being on your doorstep. Getting around central Pattaya is a breeze if the baht buses are used.
I'd definitely recommend it to people who like lounging around the swimming pool in the daytime, as there isn't a hotel in Pattaya with better pools for the money (Sabai Wing is another similar hotel with 2 pools but I found the rooms, location and service weren't as good as Areca Lodge, video review here: • Pattaya Sabai Wing Hot... ).
Make sure to book as far in advance as possible, and agoda is a good place to check as it had the best rates when I stayed. Be aware Areca Lodge gets busy even in the low season and was at 80% occupancy at the time this video was made.
