I thought for a long time whether to add a review about this hotel or not. Because I have almost no complaints about this hotel, but many people I met during the holidays have complaints, and my good friend, who had a rest a couple of months after me (I see no reason for any of them not believe).
First, about my impressions: the hotel is quite decent, located within walking distance from everything I came to Pattaya for - shops, Walking Street, clubs, a pier, and so on. But at the same time, it is located a little distance from Second Road? that ensure relative calm near the entrance. Although the guests of that part of the rooms, whose windows overlook the pool, will still not be able to sleep in the morning: there is a school there (well, or a kindergarten - I still don’t understand). The teacher, along with the children somewhere around 7-30, wakes up absolutely everyone: they sing songs there, shout chants, listen to the national anthem. And the guests of that part of the rooms, whose windows overlook the street, will not be able to sleep in the evening - there are several small bars. Well, I didn't come here to sleep.
Now about the food: thank God that there is only breakfast here, because I can’t imagine how you can eat it all the time. The same thing every day: fried eggs, toast, butter, jam, a few secret vegetable mixes, pineapple, watermelon, strange-looking ham, strange-tasting milk (feeling like diluted milk powder). I’m generally silent about dry rations: a sandwich with cheese and ham (which I don’t eat), a glass of water and a cucumber. It’s good that on the way to the River Kwai (it was then that I ordered dry rations), we stopped at 7-11, and I was able to eat normally. Well, okay, I didn’t come here to fill my stomach, especially since there are many wonderful places for snacks not far from the hotel.

The composition is extremely international: there you can meet a person from any corner of the planet, which I personally really like - I like to get acquainted with foreigners. They cleaned every day, towels were changed, even if I didn’t throw them on the floor, I personally didn’t see any living creatures in the hotel, I personally didn’t steal anything from me. Definitely the main advantage is the proximity to the center - literally opposite the Royal Garden Plaza. It is very convenient: you return in the evening from a snack or after shopping, you run into the hotel to stop shopping (of which there were sometimes 3 large packages) and go to hang out further.
Of the shortcomings that really annoyed me, I want to note only the amazing sound transmission. My neighbors on the left - 2 eternally drunk Russian men under forty - turned on the TV at full volume and clamored all night long, and I wanted to sleep at least a couple of hours.
Now about what I personally did not encounter, but I was told by people who simply have no reason to deceive me. Things were chronically missing on the third floor: small amounts of money, razors, epilators, someone even had their camera taken away. It is not clear why none of the guests complained to the reception - I think the administration would be interested in such an electoral thief. On the third floor (it was just on this floor that a girl from Tomsk lived, with whom I became friends), cockroaches periodically appeared. The foreigners I met constantly complained either about the shower, or about the mold in the bathroom, or about interruptions in the air conditioning. I can’t say anything about this: I didn’t see mold and living creatures in the rooms, they didn’t steal anything (once I accidentally left the phone under my pillow - they didn’t take it), I didn’t complain about the shower, nor about the air conditioner. Maybe this is due to the fact that I almost never stayed at the hotel - maybe 3-4 hours a day, or maybe I just didn’t pay attention to some little things.
