Before traveling to Thailand for the first time, you need to read a lot of reviews and try to understand what you expect from this trip.
For those who go to hang out (and understand that this is a country of beggars and for beggars looking for adventure on their genitals) this is a hotel with many unnecessary options that you don't really need. And for those who are looking for extraordinary landscapes, like in a movie, then you are not here, they simply do not exist here. There is no sea at all in Potaya, or rather it is not the sea, but water in which even dirty Thais do not bathe.
Pros: new, clean, quite European design (Although there are some signs of gypsyism). Everything is clean, cleaned normally. There are 2 bottles of drinking water daily in the room. There are some instant and brewed water, tea, kettle, coffee maker, hair dryer.

The Junior room has 2 rooms, 2 TVs, 2 air conditioners, a balcony, a glass wall between the bathroom and the bedroom (you can close it with a curtain). There are no insects, well, sometimes small lizards, but so pretty.
Breakfasts are ok, but don't expect Egypt or Turkey with 5 stars. Oh so far away. Fruit only watermelon and pineapple, and so on. day. They don’t indulge in variety. Yes, and there is no one to indulge. The hotel has only 5 or 6 floors. on the floor of rooms for 8-10. In short, it is very small and quiet in terms of the atmosphere inside.
10-15 minutes walk from Volkin Street. On the steps of the hotel you can catch a tuk-tuk (local minibus, but traveling along some strange route, you can check it with the guide, but that's another story)
The main and main disadvantage of the hotel is avtodizhuha behind a leaky window. We are on the 4th floor, very noisy. We are simply residents of the metropolis and this is familiar to us, but not desirable. The pool is small but we didn't even have time to try it. For those who need the sea, not to Pattaya, but to the islands. Here you need to go on excursions. What difference does it make where things are.
And, in general, I wrote a review only because this is a new hotel and of ours here, apparently, there were few people, there are no reviews.
In short, a good hotel. For lovers of movement, you can find something more economical, and for lovers of relaxation, there is neither sea nor silence. But we knew that we were going for outdoor activities and just chose a cheaper option. Didn't regret it at all.
And in general, when reading reviews about Thailand, read where the tourists come from. There are a lot of Russian poor tourists here. I have nothing against beggars and Russians, but it's just that Russians are closest here from the north. Well, historically it so happened that the post-Soviet countries are not very rich. And here there is enough poverty. Therefore, if you are a person of average income by European standards, then this unsanitary srach with terrible prostitutes will annoy you. But then you will go, look at the Thai beauties and begin to forgive them this shortcoming.

In the photo from the hotel's website, everything corresponds. So it makes no sense to put your own.
About tour operators: "Coconut", "Sasha-tour", "Jasmine". They have Thai owners. On the Internet you can find their phones, without leaving your room, you order a tour, a car picks you up and there you can pay cheaper and better than ours. Kokos and Sasha are partners. Narku Kwai go, but not with Katya (Good girl, but not a guide, the stock is very small, it will ruin the whole impression).
By the way, I am writing from Manita's room. Wi-Fi in the room for 60 baht ($ 2) per day, at the reception for free around the clock, but there is no camera for Skype and no Russian keyboard, so even in the search it is very difficult to find something in Russian. Take a laptop if there is a small one (here there is a paid excess at the airport, not more than 20 kg per person)
