In general, the hotel suited me, although it has its pros and cons. The main plus is the location in the very center of the city, here everything is concentrated within walking distance. The whole nightlife of Pattaya boils in the center. She just wanted to see it. There are many shops, massage parlors, currency exchange offices nearby, 5 minutes to the beach.

In general, the hotel suited me, although it has its pros and cons.
The main plus is the location in the very center of the city, here everything is concentrated within walking distance. The whole nightlife of Pattaya boils in the center. She just wanted to see it. There are many shops, massage parlors, currency exchange offices nearby, 5 minutes to the beach. Although Central Pattaya Beach is considered dirty, we took a dip there a couple of times. Tuk-tuks run next to the hotel. The fare is 10 baht per person, they go until late. The hotel is located on the second line. This is a one-way street. To get to the pier and Walking Street, you need to go down to the beach street to the sea.
The hotel building is capital. The interior used stone, wood, mirrors. The main disadvantage is that there has not been a repair for a long time. There are leaks on the walls. And also it would be time to remove the already smoldering carpet. At the reception we were greeted with a smile. The lobby is large and air conditioned. With seating area. There is also a restaurant on the first floor, we had breakfast included.
I can’t say that the breakfasts are rich, but you won’t leave with a headache either. My husband lacked meat dishes. Sausages were served, as well as Thai dishes with meat and vegetables (meat in thin slices, everything else was onions, carrots and other vegetables). There are three types of fruits: watermelon, pineapple and dragon's eye. An omelet with various additives is fried on the open terrace of the restaurant.
What pleased me was the spacious room overlooking the sea. We lived on the 11th floor, booked a superior room. Spacious, bright, with a stunning view from the window. The room has a rather noisy air conditioner, a mini-bar, TV, telephone, hair dryer, safe, and a small kettle. Comfortable bed, wardrobe and dressing table.
Not very satisfied with the quality and condition of the plumbing. Stains in the bathroom, on the tiles. The hot water in the bathroom was never hot, barely warm. Although in this hot climate this is enough. Cleaning in the room is lousy. Already upon arrival, we noticed small debris on the carpet, dust on the shelves.
But these minuses did not spoil our vacation, because the trip we had was very eventful. Since we went to Pattaya for the first time, we prepared for the rest in advance. In organizing excursions, we turned to the local company Nika Travel, which was recommended to me as a responsible company with good prices. We did not consider the operator, we already had experience when we bought at the hotel from the guide on the first day, then it turned out that we overpaid a fairly large amount, we went for 40 people, which is very inconvenient!
In terms of the excursion program, I really liked Pattaya, due to lack of time, we visited only a small part of the excursions. In awe of the River Kwai, Khao Kheo Zoo, Koh Samet, Bangkok.
Koh Samet has conquered me. We were taken to a cozy beach where we could sit on sun loungers. Here on the beach there is a bar and a restaurant overlooking the sea. But we didn't stop at just one beach. The guide will give us a map, told us what else is worth visiting on the island. We rented a motorbike (400 baht). There is no such movement as in Pattaya and rights are not needed. And we went to the beaches. We traveled the whole island, saw many beaches, viewing platforms, a temple, a port, and a jungle. It has soft white sand and warm blue sea.
In Bangkok, we did not visit the Royal Palace, because it was closed for a period of mourning, but instead it was in another temple. I liked the city. Huge, a lot of concrete, large tiger centers, poor quarters along the canals, and, of course, richly decorated temples.
I recommend Khao Kheo to everyone. This is a sea of positive from communicating with animals. I saw that same bear cat - binturong.
The most intense program for me was a trip to Kwai. The road, of course, is long, but the night spent on the river in the jungle is worth it. The nature there is amazing and quiet, only the noise and the flow of the river are heard. We got right after the rainy season, so there was a lot of water in the waterfalls. They say that in the spring they almost dry up.
So the emotions on our trip were brought by excursions, not by the hotel. My conclusion is that in Pattaya an inexpensive triple is enough to stay overnight and leave things. 10 days is very short for such a country, I would stay for a month!

Quite a normal hotel, if you do not find fault with trifles. It's worth its money with its own star rating (three stars). Near the hotel across the road there are many many cafe tables you can eat deliciously if you are tired and don’t want to drag yourself far, they also sell fruits nearby right on the side of the hotel, and across the road too.

Near the hotel across the road there are many many cafe tables you can eat deliciously if you are tired and don’t want to drag yourself far, they also sell fruits nearby right on the side of the hotel, and across the road too. The sea and the beach are a 5-minute walk, we swam there clean, and the Germans and everyone swam there too, went once to the island the same thing and decided every day you won’t get enough money to dangle there, NEAR THE BEACH IS NORMAL. They put bathroom accessories, and it’s true that they didn’t put enough for three of us as for two, and in the end, in general, only for one. The water in the toilet bowl was badly flushed, but we didn’t go anywhere, so I can’t say anything about the service. We had a room on the 10th floor of 1003 de luxe, a hair dryer, a kettle, coffee, tea, sugar every day, a safe, a TV with 5 Russian channels, air conditioning, everything worked perfectly. The shower is also all right, clean, water was supplied every day, towels were changed as needed.

It was the second time in Pattaya. Last year there was a tour of 9 nights / 10 days, of which we spent 6 days on excursions. Everything was very cool, but it seemed a little sea. So we decided to do it again this year. The hotel was chosen from the criterion to be budget and closer to the sea. Of the proposed Cozy Beach, Golden Sea and Grand Sale chose Grand Sale.

It was the second time in Pattaya. Last year there was a tour of 9 nights / 10 days, of which we spent 6 days on excursions. Everything was very cool, but it seemed a little sea. So we decided to do it again this year. The hotel was chosen from the criterion to be budget and closer to the sea. Of the proposed Cozy Beach, Golden Sea and Grand Sale chose Grand Sale. Since, according to reviews on the Internet, bugs lived in Cozy Beach, but I didn’t want to spend 2 weeks in the company of bugs. And Golden Sea is located on the 3rd line, but I wanted to be closer to the sea. Reading the reviews prepared for the worst. But it turned out not everything is so scary, you can live. The hotel itself is not in a noisy place, although the center. Hall is pretty decent. The room had everything you need for life. In addition to the set of furniture standard for all hotels, there was a TV, a mini fridge, el. safe, kettle with tea mugs, coffee, tea, milk, sugar in bags, 2 bottles every day, two glasses (do not throw away empty bottles), hairdryer in the bathroom, adapter. Our room was deluxe. Went to see friends in the Standard all the same. The difference in price is one and a half thousand per person. Deluxe is more expensive than Standard. Been trying to figure out what the difference is. The only difference was that they did not have mugs with a set of coffee, etc. , and in the bathroom there were 2 bottles of shampoo and shower gel, we had a third with body cream. But I use only my own, brought and loved, so we took a set with us instead of a souvenir, we didn’t use it there. There are no balconies in the rooms and the windows do not open (although some rooms did). But with 29 degrees of heat at night and 36 during the day, there was absolutely no need for this. You will not feel the morning or evening coolness, but let the mosquitoes in. Last year, at the Avolon Hotel in Jomtien, we got a room with a huge balcony, on which, upon returning from the center, we drank beer (and not only) with friends. But this time we knew about the lack of balconies. The air conditioning in our room worked automatically, if it froze, it was turned off. In the corridors of the hotel, indeed, the carpets are worn almost to holes and there is a smell of dampness. There was no smell in the room, the carpet was a little better. For my taste, I would remove the carpet altogether, I don’t understand why it is needed in a hot, humid climate (of course it’s a smell), it would be much more pleasant to walk on a cool tile. Breakfast is not ice, especially after last year's 4 stars. Buffet. But you can throw it in the stomach in the morning. I ate the main course with vegetable slices, drank coffee with pancakes and ate fruit slices, even managed to overeat. In the hotel, in addition to Russians, there were enough Indians, either Chinese or Koreans (for the Chinese, they seem to be too decent) and very few Americans. The hotel has no territory. At the entrance there is a smoking area (information for those who smoke), the rooms are non-smoking. And hardly anyone wants to smoke in rooms with non-opening windows. There is also a playground with tables, they say there in the season, something like a cafe with a disco. It didn't work during our visit. People just drank themselves at the tables. There is a pool. There are a few sunbeds nearby. The area around the pool is surrounded by a stone fence, along the perimeter there are plucked palm trees in tubs. Everyone wanted to swim there at least once for the sake of sports interest, but they did not have time. The weather was good and the sea is a five minute walk away. In the same building, only the entrance is a separate massage parlor: 200 baht Thai massage, 300 with oil. We only went there, because we rinsed comfortably, changed clothes and for a massage. Sea. Cross the road, empty lot, cross the road again. To the sea 5 minutes walk. It will take longer to cross the road. Since no one is going to let you through. If the cars can still slow down, then there are no bikes. But after seeing how the locals dart between the cars, we also learned. There is a large intersection near the hotel, so when there is a visible red light, there are gaps in traffic on the roads. Therefore, if you are very afraid to move, you can wait. Don't be alarmed, a wasteland is not a wasteland, but a gap between two hotels. The sea and the beach are relatively clean, we swam mostly there. True, in the first half of the day there was a strong ebb. But at that time we took sun baths, and when the water arrived, we enjoyed swimming. The hotel is within walking distance of everything. Next to the hotel is the Seven Eleven shop, where you will find, in addition to groceries, everything you need (from threads with needles, hangers, creams for and from sunburn). Go right until you reach Big C. This is a mall that sells everything from groceries to clothes and shoes. Plus a cafe and a beauty salon. If you go to the left, you will reach such large shopping centers as Festival and Royal Garden. Even Walking Street can be reached on foot if desired. We went to the centers on foot, and back tired or with purchases we returned by tuk tuk (10 baht per person). We ate everywhere and on the beach, and in open Thai cafes, and shopping centers. And the hotel ordered (already for a fee). Bought kuksu in Seven Eleven. By the way, next to Seven Eleven, a Thai woman cooks very tasty noodles or rice (your choice) with chicken, pork or beef with broth, just make sure that she does not put their favorite Thai weed, which smells very strong (for an amateur). It costs only 40 baht to eat. You can live in Pattaya on any amount of money. But no matter how much you take, then most likely you will leave everything there. Since everything is temptingly cheap. Exchangers on every corner. But the best course we came across in the middle of the way from the hotel to the Festival. Closer to shopping centers and in the centers themselves, the exchange rate is the lowest. Well, everything seems to be. In conclusion about the hotel. The hotel is well located and if your goal is not to sit in the room, but to actively relax. That I recommend.

It makes no sense to write a lot. The hotel justifies its 3 stars. If you come to sit in the room, then of course you can find fault with a lot. For outdoor activities (to spend the night and place your things) - the room is without pretensions, everything you need is there. The staff tries to please, requests are responded to immediately.

Average option for reasonable money. Located in a convenient location - everything is close: beach, shopping, transport.

The location is excellent, everything is nearby, 5 minutes walk to the beach, the beach itself is clean, I have never seen garbage either on the sand or in the water.... only the water is muddy, not the same as on the islands, but you can swim. Although on the islands, on the contrary, the water is clean, transparent, and there is a lot of garbage on the sand, there is some kind of movement all the time, there are few free sunbeds, although we chose the nearest beach.... in short, the beach, which is next to the hotel, we liked even more, especially since the children go to the islands every day far away.....You leave the hotel, immediately the 7-eleven store, I love it !! ! It has everything, and eat and drink and drink and all the necessary little things, toothpastes, shampoos, napkins, baby diapers, fork + spoon sets, even a rope there bought to dry the clothes in the room : ))), they also bought an adapter for the socket there, in the hotel for the room, they only give one. There is also a nearby restaurant "Pelmen" - Russian cuisine, where we took food for children, with us, everything was well packed. All excursions were bought at a street agency, it is located across the road, Alyonushka Tours. (good agency), there are tents with clothes across the road. . . if you stand with your back to the hotel, then on the right side you can take a tuk tuk to the Big C shopping center, only walk back, but it's not far. If you go to the left side, there is not far from the center of the Festival, and return back by tuk-tuk, i. e. traffic on this street is one-way. I had a massage at the hotel and I loved it! I would love to go back to this hotel, or rather, I will! : ))))

The hotel is very well located. If you came not for a seal vacation with lying on the beach and sunbathing, but for an interesting pastime, you are here. Everything you need is within walking distance from the hotel: Big C, 3-D ART Gallery, Alkazar Show, Tiffany Show, Beer Fest, shopping centers, Walking Street.

Everything you need is within walking distance from the hotel: Big C, 3-D ART Gallery, Alkazar Show, Tiffany Show, Beer Fest, shopping centers, Walking Street. In the evening you can always go for a walk and dine in numerous cafes, relax in a cafe-car with normal cocktails (alcoholic, of course). The decoration of the hotel is certainly not very good, but since Tai is not a hotel holiday, it will do. In general, you want to be close to all the most interesting things in Pattaya, and not go every day by tuk-tuk there and back several tens of kilometers to you here.

We settled in Grand Sole 3 *, having read good and bad reviews about various hotels, we thought it would be a C grade, but everything turned out to be super! Except for a small trace of a burnt carpet with an iron (was it ironed on the floor? ). Drinking water in the room was brought daily for 2 bottles, breakfast is not to say that the monotonous choice for 3 * is quite decent, fruits and vegetables daily.

Safe in the room and surprisingly (having read negative reviews about theft directly from safes) nothing was ever lost! The air conditioner worked, the bathroom-toilet was clean, the towels were not washed out and not full of holes, beach towels were given free of charge and also good, there was a kettle and a hairdryer in the room, I also forgot to say that disposable tea, coffee and sugar were also brought daily, cleaning was also done daily, without any tips. And my overage child managed to get drunk on some nasty stuff on the street from a stall (do not buy food from the stalls! ) And get poisoned, although he repeatedly strictly forbade it, and so, the Vietnamese hotel maid most likely, having seen a sick condition, brought her own the initiative of some tea with some herb to bring down the temperature, thanks to her for that. In general, if we gather again in Pattaya, then only in Grand Sol!

drove in early September together with 12l son. Firstly, a super convenient location for a hotel of this class on the street where tuks go, that is, you can get to the main pier for 10 baht-rubles per person in 5-10 minutes. The second main street, respectively, is close to places where you can just take a walk and take a walk too.
