Excellent staff and facilities. Area outside is a little rough but not bad. Many restaurants and markets within walking distance as well as the beach. I recommend having the Bolt app for taxi service.

1. The room service was bad. They do not re supply the basics like coffee, toilet paper.
2. Bathrooms have mold; I don’t believe they clean them
3. The food was insipid and horrible.
4. The batteries in the remotes are dead

Great pool area

Really lovely pool area. 15 minute pleasant walk to beach. Great local restaurants nearby and convenience stores. Great place stay for a short break in Na Jomtien.

Great for the price. Especially the pool

Pool is awesome staff is great. Only issue was our room wasn’t cleaned daily and barely get any toilet paper. If walking street is your main plan you’ll be a bit far to go there daily. If jomtien beach is in your plans it’s only a couple block walk.

The king size bed was actually 2 twin mattress’s that you kept falling in the cracks. I was charged for a glass that broke since they don’t have plastic/paper cups.

long stay

I stayed in two different rooms. The first was nice but the second room on the 3rd floor as shown was the better of the two. I really liked my stay here and I would definitely do it again. The pool/s are certainly interesting and kids seem to really enjoy them. There were always people swimming but it was never crowded. 7-11 is close by and there is good street food just in front of it. The beach is a bit of a walk but there are some shops along the way. Sonia Residence seems to be a good value for the money.

Terrible...deserves no stars

If I could give zero stars I would.
Where to start.....advertised with kitchenette yet no cooktop, no plates, bowls only 2 cups. No cutlery, not even a spoon.
Bathroom...door won't close with pulling and banging hard. Toilet seat broke and hanging off. Rusty TP holder. Bum gun was disgusting with rust and stains. Very dirty rim in toilet bowl. Rusty/dirty grout in shower. Dirty walls. Broken/hanging down light surrounding mirror. Broken faucet can swivel it around. Dirty louvers.
Room...only 2 flat pillows, dirty curtains, dirt down side of sofa. After 3 days of no room cleaning Had to keep asking for room cleaning and towel change.
Staff...unfriendly staff at reception, ignored, ability to communicate in English even a little non existent. Spent most (90%) of time on their phones. Lots of staff sitting around on phones.
Restaurant always seemed closed. Always in the dark.
Hall and elevators dirty and needs cleaning.
Drive/walkway up to reception was like a back alley...dark rough walkway.
Common area and reception very dark and dingy...not welcoming.
One of if not the worse hotel we have ever stayed in. Do not believe pictures on Hotel.com. Scam.

Relaxing stay

We were pleased with the hotel itself, particularly the interconnected pools which we used almost every day. It had a taxi service to the bus station and we had a late checkout (5pm) on the last day so the stay ended on a good note. The surrounds were less impressive and we went to the beach area only twice, once to swim and once to the night market. Although we found one restaurant where the food was OK the streets were filthy and smelly. Anyway it was good to sit poolside and relax even if we saw little of the Thai people’s lives.

Worst hotel ever

Extremely uncomfortable beds. Pillows are way too big and hurt your neck. Asked for new pillows and they refused.

Restaurant was closed.

Lights in room did not work.

Reception lady was rude and unpleasant.

Very loud.

Pool is very small.

Breakfast was scarce and terrible.

Not worth more than $20 a night place is terrible.

Poorly managed but has potential. The English lady manager is very rude.

The English speaking lady manager tried to rip us off.

Very tricky mean lady. Do not stay here. Way better places in this price range actually on the beach instead of 10 blocks away

Ikke lov å røyke på balkong, altfor varmt vann selv på laveste innstilling. Mye russere som bor i komplekset, dyr mat (ca dobbelt av tilsvarende andre plasser)

Le Check in a été retardé de 30 minutes.
La température de l’eau de la douche est difficile à régler. Je me suis blessé et j’ai légèrement sali avec du sang une serviette. J’ai du l’a rembourser. Et plusieurs autres choses qui sont mal gérées. Je n’y retournerai pas.

fine for that price

Except it wasnt very clean when i arrived, and i had to vocaly tell them to clean when i wanted that , i thought it was quite allright..
I didnt eat at hotel, or use the outside facilitys , as the beach was a 10min walk away, and was very nice .. then again, i like to not be bothered , so for me it was the best out of the 3 hotels i tried in pattaya..
