The previous reviews are overpriced.
You can definitely put 3.5 out of 5.
There is never anyone at the front desk. All questions, breakfast, beach towels, contact with the guide, information, etc. - in the neighboring BEST BELLA hotel. There are free maps and information about recreation, taxis, excursions, attractions, etc.
In the lobby of our hotel the doors are open and there is no air conditioning. The furniture is dirty upholstered and slightly torn.
The sign has faded. At the entrance there are two figurines of elephants, a ramp and an improvisation in the form of a waterfall.
Settled neither quickly nor for long. They wanted to take a deposit, but we did not have baht and did not take it.
There was no renovation for a long time. Everything is shabby and battered.
The bar is not open. On the ground floor there is a kettle and coffee with cream and sugar. Only 5 cups.
There is parking in front of the hotel entrance.
In the backyard, the pride of the hotel is a swimming pool with a jacuzzi. This is the best there is, because. in the heat it was cool to plunge into the clean fresh water of the pool. There are sunbeds with soft linings, a shower, tables with chairs. There is a jacuzzi and 3 comfortable steps in the water for the jacuzzi. Depth from 1.3 to 2.3m. The length and width are sufficient for 4-5 people to comfortably swim. There is a large tree in the shade of which it is good to hide. There is a green area with plants. Palm trees on the border of the territories of two hotels.
There is an elevator, but it's all scratched up. Everything needs updating or cosmetic repairs.
The rooms are dirty, in the corners and under the bed they are neither swept nor washed. Everywhere is covered. In general, a rag and 1 hour of cleaning work wonders with the number in terms of brilliance and frequency. And so everything is flooded and stained. In the bathroom itself, it was also dirty - they shoved it off. Cleaning for the fact and all. Although the dishes were washed when we did not have time before leaving. Were cleaned in the room for a long time. Bed linen and towels are changed every day (1 large and one small, and one common near the bath). Every day they brought 2 bottles of water, 2 bags of tea, 2 bags of coffee, 2 bags of cream, 2 bags of sugar.
In the room: double sofa bed, double bed (two single beds pushed together), 2 bedside stools on which lamps are tightly fixed, table, chair, table, dryer, refrigerator, microwave, sink, set of dishes for 2 persons, and plasma TV , and AIR CONDITIONER. There is a wardrobe and a safe. Also 2 pairs of slate slippers. But we didn't wear it. Bin. In the bathroom, a glass, soap in individual packaging, shower caps, cotton swabs, hair dryer, shampoo. Bathtub, shower head, toilet bowl with flushing hose, trash can.
There is a balcony, a sliding glass door, a curtain, an additional grill on the lock. On the balcony, a table and 2 chairs are made of plastic, but there is also an air conditioner unit there - heat and noise. There is also a large flower pot.
There is no mini bar in the room.
Everything in the room and in the hotel as a whole needs refurbishment or renovation. We were in 45 rooms on different floors and different levels.
Settled overlooking the courtyard of a neighboring hotel. Wishes indicated in the voucher and verbally are not taken into account immediately. We settled on the 4th floor. Went and asked for a room with a sea view. Moved to the 3rd floor with a sea view, albeit from 4 times))). The sea view is loudly said but still partially visible. And in order to be on the 4th, 5th or 6th floor and with a sea view, you need to pay extra 500 baht per day. And for numbers 401.402, 501.502, 601.602 you have to pay more than 1000 baht per day.
From the neighboring hotel, the ventilation and sewage treatment plants constantly make noise and loudly - you can’t open the window at all.
The breakfast is good and appetizing, lots of variety. But also in a nearby hotel.
The sauna does not work, the gym of the neighboring hotel is not allowed. There is no bar in the hotel - it is like a fake one. There are beach towels - take as you know, too, in a nearby hotel. There is wi-fi in principle, but it flew out, but not high-speed, but it was enough to talk to relatives via WhatsApp. If you wanted normal, then everything is in the hall, again, of the neighboring hotel))). TV - in the first room is terrible and only one Russian channel, and in the second room there are 2 channels and the picture quality is already better. The room has everything you need but at a minimum.
And about the location - the sea is really 150-200 m. But there is no beach there, no stones. the public beach is not far, 850-900 m but in the heat I want it to be 150-200m))). Walking Street is about 4 km away.
But on the other hand, this hotel is not located in a noisy place and there is no unnecessary noise and din of tourists and an abundance of transport. something like that.
Opposite a small shop and a private villa.
Some Sangteos (tuk-tuks) pass by (they then go to the fish market or to Sukhumvit).
By the way, there is a transfer to the DOLPHIN ring, although on foot it is 350m from the neighboring hotel))). And there are motorbike rentals.
There is also the Huge in PATTAYA and the newest "SEC TERMINAL 21".
Separately, there are condoms in the room. They cost 60 baht. In the first room were and in the other, in which we moved there was not. When we moved out, they wanted to charge us money for them. But having read the reviews before the trip, as soon as we entered the room, I immediately shot everything on video. And I advise you. Even with this video, I proved for 15 minutes that I didn’t take it - but I brought my own))).
Located in the north of the city. In a calm quiet corner. Not silent but calm. There is no fuss, no huge traffic, no bars and cafes, no tourists in large numbers. There are not many people in the hotel, it is not big itself. There is nothing for kids.
Whom to recommend? Do not know…
So. I bought the tour from Pegasus (early booking). We flew with Nord Wind. After the plane crash that happened a month before our departure, the nerves were in good shape. Flight delay - 1 hour (not critical). I want to say - the pilots are Gods !!! ! Thank them! The flight went well. I was met at Bangkok Airport, escorted to the bus, handed out local SIM cards (one per family), brought to the hotel. The road took 2 hours, I don’t remember.
We were the last to arrive at the hotel. There are a few stern-looking taikas at the front desk. only the suitcase bearers smiled. They entered our data, gave us a key, cards for food, took a deposit - 500 baht. All this took place with an unhappy expression on our faces. Well, God be with them.
The room was given on the 2nd floor overlooking the pool and the neighboring hotel. Our room had two balconies. The room itself is large: one huge bed, TV, sofa, mini-kitchen. Bathroom: sink, toilet, bath.
Breakfast was at a nearby hotel. OOO I liked it. Everything is delicious! Large selection of dishes. Well, it's really delicious!
Bella Villa guests could use the swimming pool of the neighboring hotel. It is larger and the sun visited it more often))) But there are always a lot of people there and we swam in a small one. There is also a sauna and a "gym" (with one exercise bike, which had to be booked a week in advance) - we did not use these services.
the beach is close to the hotel. frightened with dirty water and so on....Everything is fine! I like it. True, entry into the sea is not so hot - stones. gotta be careful. I really regret that I spent little time at sea (almost excursions every day). and the sea is not dirtier than in Turkey (Alanya for example).
The biggest plus of this hotel is its location! very often went on foot for any distance and to shopping centers. Food and drink - heaps! at every step!
Excursions were bought from Coconut Travel. Super guys! top notch service! I did not expect this from a street agency. In the office, when choosing, they will give you tea and candy and feed you. They always called and let you know when they were coming. during excursions - water, dry rations, wet wipes... competitions were arranged with prizes. we won a pineapple on one excursion. in general, great memories of them and their work.
what else to say about the hotel? cleaned every day. The floors were washed, the bed linen was changed, clean towels - daily. Wifi is weak. if you log in from two devices at the same time, nothing will work. The girls at the reception are always dissatisfied and angry. But thank God, our communication with them was reduced to a minimum. They only understand Thai. The Pegasus guide loses all interest in you if you do not buy excursions.
Outcome. We were very satisfied with our vacation. hotel is a place to stay. we all liked it. Thailand is a wonderful country. We will return to this paradise as soon as possible.
1. Location of the hotel - since the hotel is located not far from the road junction (Three Dolphins), you can get to the center in just 5 minutes, and it will cost 10 baht per person (approximately 10 rubles). On the other hand - precisely because the hotel is located a little away, the hotel is always quiet and calm. Some people are really disturbed by the sounds of running fans from the water purification system in the pool - but that's not for anyone. Personally, they didn't bother me.
2. At the time of our holiday - the Russians, at least - violent, the hotel was not. For all the time we met once two guys jumping from the balcony of the second floor into the pool : )))
3. Availability of free internet (Wi-Fi). We had a room on the 4th floor. I watched the broadcast of the World Hockey Championship via the Internet, live.
4. In the room there is a bed, an ottoman sofa, a table, a TV, a small refrigerator, a kettle with tea accessories, a TV (although far from plasma : ) ), air conditioning, and a small balcony overlooking the sea and the opposite shore of the bay, with the inscription Pattaya : ) )). In principle, I really liked the room, especially in terms of price-quality ratio.
Negative:
1. At the time of the rest, we went to have breakfast at the neighboring Best Western hotel, these are two hotels of the same owner. The hall was closed for renovations.
2. The staff does not speak Russian at all, but my school triple in English was more than enough for effective mutual understanding. Everywhere people, smile and chocolate - solve many problems : ).
Perhaps I have not noted anything negative for this price category.
Outcome:
Taking into account the fact that my wife and I went to see the country, the room required minimal comfort, a good night, and friendly staff. The hotel coped with the task on a solid 5-ku. If necessary, I would gladly return....
The beach is also 5 minutes walk. There is no beach of its own, but if you reach the sea, turn right, and walk along the coast for another 2 minutes, you will come to a very decent and clean beach. Sunbeds there cost 50 baht. Clean, in Pattaya, the concept is relative, since swimming, of course, you have to go to the islands. It takes about 40 minutes to get there by ferry from the pier, it costs 40 baht per person. On the beach, be sure to try fried fish, and shrimp (magically cooked) they are carried to the beach by a Thai and sells for 100 baht. When we tasted it, it was already time to go home. Do not be afraid to buy and eat, everything is very tasty and fresh. No poisoning was recorded in Tai.
The bed deserves a special place in the description. It's just a royal bed. Very comfortable and wide. At first, we were surprised that she rides all over the room, it’s worth touching her, we laughed that at night we will ride from wall to wall, but it turns out that she has stopars on wheels, her husband figured out the design, fixed it, and this is no longer an inconvenience delivered. Our friends from other hotels complained that the bed was not comfortable and that they didn't clean it every day. We had no problems with this. 2 stars in the hotel most likely because it does not have its own dining room and territory. But in the dining room we went to the nearby Best Western. This is the second building owned by the same owner. The pool can also be used from this hotel, the territory of these hotels is one. The rooms are also absolutely identical.
There is a restaurant on the roof of the neighboring Best Western, from which a beautiful view of the city and the Gulf of Thailand opens in the evening.
They take a deposit upon arrival of 500 baht, then it will be returned, and there are no problems with beach towels. They also take a deposit of 300 baht for a towel for them, and they return the money without any problems. We took towels on the first day, in the evenings they were simply exchanged for clean ones, so as not to bother with the deposit, and upon departure, the towels were already returned and the money was given to us.
We liked absolutely everything. Next year we will definitely go to the same hotel.
