Отличный отель за свои деньги!)) Great hotel for your money!

At the reception they took a deposit of $ 50 and the Thai carried our suitcases to the room, opened the door of the room - and we were pleasantly surprised, there were unflattering reviews on the Internet, but in reality everything turned out to be even better than expected. The room took the standard. There is tile on the floor (in many hotels carpet stinks of dampness), a huge bed, a leather sofa, a refrigerator, an ottoman, 2 tables, a mirror with a cabinet, a wardrobe, in general, everything you need)) The shower is of course not very good, this dark blue tile . . but it’s okay to wash))) By the way, I read in the reviews that the shower smells of mold and the floor does not dry out - we didn’t have anything like that, in 2 hours everything dried up to the drop (maybe because we lived on the top 8th floor and a roof immediately began above the suspended ceilings and pulled out all the moisture). They cleaned the room every day, they left 20 baht on the bed for cleaning, and they never forgot to bring water and towels to us.
Safe at the reception, nothing was missing, everything was OK in the room, even nobody rummaged through things.
Swimming pool. I swam in the pool only 1 time, my husband 2 times. everything was OK with me, but my husband's blue swimming trunks were dyed greenish... in general, I went to the sea, and therefore the pool does not deserve attention there at all.

Breakfasts are normal, though every day is the same: Pineapple soup, rice with vegetables, sausages or sausage, scrambled eggs, bread, sliced ​ ​ ​ ​ fresh cucumber-tomato-cabbage, watermelons or pineapples, tea, coffee, 2 types of jam and oil, you can fry toast, in general, you won’t die of hunger))
The room has a paid mini-bar, I advise you not to take anything from there, in the store across the Family Mart road everything is 2 times cheaper. Free only 2 bottles of water per day. Bottles cannot be taken out of the room, otherwise everything will be deducted from the deposit upon check-out.
During the stay, we did not see a single ant in the room, and in general there were no living creatures.
In a light braked elevator, the TV set in the room catches 3 Russian channels, by the way, we learned from it that Thailand and Cambodia began to fight on the border...
I would like to note the very good location of the hotel. The main road is 10 meters from the hotel, there are constantly tuk-tuks, which take 5 minutes to the center. For walks there is a huge territory of Pattaya Park, and Jomtien embankment.
EXCURSIONS:
We had 2 free tours from the tour operator: 1. Pattaya 3 in 1, it included the Observation Deck, it offers a beautiful view of the city, the Buddha Temple where you can ring the bells and let the birds out of the cage so that your sins are forgiven, the Jewelry Factory where sellers follow you like glued, a silk factory where the cheapest thing is a 800 baht tie, and a snake show. It is worth going to the snake show, there is a pharmacy nearby where they sell medicines from snake venom, there are also handbags, wallets and belts.

2. Crocodile farm and park of million-year-old stones. We visited this very park, it is very beautiful there, there is a mini zoo where you can take pictures with elephants and Himalayan bears and tigers, and feed a little tiger cub from the nipple. There are Bengal tigers, ponies, llamas, parrots, peacocks and any other animal)) You can feed a crocodile from a fishing rod, a chicken carcass is tied to the fishing rod and you lower the meat from the balcony to the crocodiles and they are sitting in a crowd from below with open mouths... soooo scary their teeth..... Then there was a show of crocodiles, where they put their heads in their mouths and dragged them by their tails. In general, it's worth seeing. After we were taken to the second jewelry factory, there we were put into wagons and there they showed us very colorfully how stones are mined. Then they took me to a latex factory, where they make pillows and mattresses, you can lie on the bed and try out the pillows. Pillow from 3200 baht. They say that nowhere else in the city you can buy real latex except from them.
They decided to go to Mini Siam on their own, it was much cheaper than from a tour operator (from 550 baht per person), the entrance ticket costs 300 baht + for four they took a tuk-tuk for 150 baht. Moreover, walking there alone is much more interesting, you can safely walk wherever you want, you are not limited in time. It is better to go there at 17.30-18.00, when the backlight is turned on, and during the day it is probably unbearable heat because there is no shade anywhere, everything is in the open.
On the street that passes near the hotel, we took an excursion to Samet, it costs 1000 baht, it includes lunch and a sunbed. First, we drove for 1.5 hours by car to the neighboring province, then transferred to the ferry - and we are in PARADISE! White sand is fine, fine as flour, turquoise water.
On ordinary days, we went to swim on the island of Koh Lan, you can get there in several ways: Take a ferry ticket for 30 baht per person one way, he will bring you to the Koh Lan pier from there by tuk-tuk for another 40 baht to any beach, or you can for 150 baht, take a round-trip ticket directly to one of the 3 beaches (mostly we went that way), or you can take a speedboat 300 baht round-trip and go to any beach, we took it on the last day and took us on a clean small secluded beach.
We decided not to go to Nung Noch, it's a pity to spend half a day watching the park. We also did not go to the River Kwai, although everyone highly recommends it. Our friends went there, they were not happy, they said that there was nothing special, in addition, they were poisoned there, and several people who had been there also hugged a sanitary ware friend for a couple of days.

We went to the Tiffany show, we really liked it, the “girls” are chic, you can’t even say that they are ex-boyfriends. Wasp waists, silicone breasts and priests, no one even has an Adam's apple, they dance and move very femininely. The rooms are set very well, the costumes are very beautiful, it’s a pity that you can’t take a picture on Tiffany, but on the Alcazar you can.
ABOUT FOOD:
Thai food attracted us only in the first 3 days, delicious Tom Yam soup, and then the smell of spices and Thai food began to turn us back and we didn’t want to try anything. We tried to eat in Russian cafes, there are a lot of them. On the street that runs near the hotel on the left side almost at the end of the street (closer to Pattaya Park) there is a wonderful cafe called Nostalgia, we really liked it there. The waiter speaks excellent Russian, the owner is Russian. A portion of shish kebab from pork pulp is served with a large delicious bakery and sliced ​ ​ ​ ​ tomato-cucumbers and costs 90 baht, schnitzel by weight (serving enough for two) is served with mashed potatoes or french fries and sliced ​ ​ u200bu200bcucumber-tomatoes 120 baht, there is Russian kvass, the most delicious Singa beer. They cook very tasty, and most importantly, there is a good atmosphere and there is free Wi-fi)) Do not forget to leave a tip, because everything is very inexpensive there.
On February 14, we went to Uzbekistan Lazatti, also on the street near the hotel, where prices are higher, it’s still a restaurant, they also cook very well, quickly, a varied menu, the hostess speaks excellent Russian, came up to our table and wished you a pleasant appetite.
Opposite the hotel there is some kind of cafe, I read good reviews about it, but they didn’t dare to eat there, right in the center of the cafe there were dogs with signs of skin diseases (similar to lichen), sat down at a table, it was all dirty, asked for a menu, and my pages are so greasy, dirty and sticky, we just put everything on the table and left... I can’t imagine HOW they cook in such conditions.
Once we had dinner in the revolving tower of Pattaya Park, at the entrance you pay 600 baht per person, go up to the 52nd floor and eat whatever you want. It's a gourmet paradise, full of seafood.
THE SHOPS:

The leather was bought in the Vovan shop (a free transfer can be ordered on the street near the hotel, the car takes you there and takes you back after shopping, even if you don’t buy anything), the prices there are the best. All sellers speak some Russian.
We went to Lukdod for souvenirs, we didn’t really like it there, there was such an unpleasant synthetic smell, and we couldn’t buy everything we wanted in one place.
Then we stocked up in Otope, the prices are almost the same, the assortment is more interesting. The 3rd trip for souvenirs was also planned to be done in Otop, but the tuk-tuk stopped at the intersection of the second and main streets and said that it would not go further, there was a souvenir shop there, the prices were even cheaper than in Lukdota and the souvenirs were more interesting.
That Ask before reaching Lotus there is a night market, it works on Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 16:00 to 23:00. There are sooooo cheap clothes of local production, all sorts of T-shirts, shorts, sundresses for the summer.
On the beach street there are 3 shopping centers Royal Garden, Mike Shopping Mall and Central Festival, where we mostly walked, there are shops with good discounts.
For those who are interested in technology, there is Tuk Kom on the south street, very cheap Chinese phones on the 2nd floor, iPhone 1900 baht. On the other floors, the equipment is already normal and costs the same as ours, or even more.
PHONE. In the store opposite the Family Mart hotel, they bought local SIM cards in a red envelope, called Happy for 99 baht. To call Russia, you need to dial one of the codes 009.007, 006.004 004), dial this code, then 7, then the number (917.927, etc. ) and press call. Minute of conversation with Russia 5 rubles!!! !
