On my first day arriving in Pattaya. The hotel is situated in the heart of Pattaya massage parlors, local shops, bars, clubs, restaurants, and big shopping malls. Especially Central Pattaya Shopping Mall, a 5-minute walk away, has a great food supermarket there where you can buy everything you can imagine or need. Amazing restaurants too. It took 4 minutes to walk to the beach road and enjoy a swim in the sea. On the main road, you can jump on any shuttle car to either Pattaya North or South to Jomtien easily. But it can be a little nosy at night due to the lively nightlife. The hotel was lovely. Ideal. It was only when I got there, that I noticed this was a popular hotel where mostly Indian tourists like to stay. No bathroom slippers were provided in the room. Being high up, my room had a reasonable, something of a nice sea view. The balcony size was okay too. Sadly, I was told the swimming pool was on the 6th and then the 7th floor by staff, but strangely, I saw a Pool sign and walked around in circles, not finding it. So I gave it a miss. I tried going on the Hotel WiFi using my laptop, but after several malicious threats instantly and hackers trying to attack my computer, I closed it immediately and just used my phone. Sometimes, I found when entering the lift to go to my room, the external glass doors of the entrance to the apartments were wedged open, making it a security risk! They should be closed at all times for the customer's safety and protection. Or people from the street side can just walk in! But overall, I did enjoy staying here. The staff spoke English and were very helpful and friendly.
