Holiday Inn PATTAYA by IHG

The room is spacious, the bathroom is well-designed, the bedding is excellent, and the mattress is very comfortable to sleep on. It has great natural light, and you can see the ocean from the balcony. They also helped jump-start our car when the battery died. The downsides are: being close to the beach means there is some traffic noise, and the breakfast is just average.

The location is excellent, close to North Pattaya Beach; just cross the road and you're there. It's also a short walk to Terminal 21, Big C, and Chinatown Food Street. There's a 7-Eleven right in the hotel lobby, which is super convenient for grabbing things. The hotel pool is nice too. The biggest downside is the pillows; they're just not comfortable no matter how you sleep on them.

This was my second stay, and it's a really great hotel. The infinity pool is comfortable and has a nice view. The rooms are clean and the facilities are new. The front desk staff and servers are enthusiastic, and check-in and check-out are efficient. The breakfast at the restaurant was decent, and the BBQ grilled short ribs for dinner were delicious. Pattaya Beach is right outside the hotel, and you can walk to Terminal 21. A Grab taxi to Central costs about 15 RMB.

Whenever I visit Thailand, I pretty much always book with Holiday Inn PATTAYA by IHG. This time, we stayed at the beachside property. Our room was on the 17th floor facing the beach, offering fantastic views. The room itself was quite nice—essentially two rooms combined into a suite. Having two bathrooms and two toilets made it super convenient. The bathrooms were huge with great views, and the room as a whole was wonderful. The breakfast at Holiday Inn PATTAYA by IHG was also very good; we went down for it almost every day. The hotel pool is great too, with a direct view of the beach, and we practically lived there every day. Although Holiday Inn PATTAYA by IHG separates the kids' pool from the main pool, some kids would still occasionally make noise in the beachfront pool, which disrupted the relaxing vibe a bit. Everything else was great, though. Overall, Holiday Inn PATTAYA by IHG is a solid choice, but from a resort perspective, it lacks that true resort ambiance. The lobby, in particular, feels a bit too corporate and business-oriented, lacking the resort feel of the Holiday Inn in Phuket. However, the location of Holiday Inn PATTAYA by IHG is fantastic! Just a right turn out the main entrance takes you to plenty of shopping malls, and the famous Terminal 21 is just a 10-minute walk away. Turn left, and you're at the beachside walking street. Convenience stores are all around on both sides. If you are looking for a great location, this place is hard to beat—it's not too noisy, and transportation is very convenient. Housekeeping was also excellent. Whenever we told them when we wanted our room cleaned, they always tidied it up thoroughly and changed the towels regularly.

The room was clean and the view was great. My girlfriend was very impressed. The hotel's breakfast was diverse and offered a lot of choices. All in all, everything was good.

The location and facilities were great, and the staff were friendly. However, the fitness center key didn't work, and sometimes my room key would fail, so I had to visit the front desk multiple times over my 5-day stay. It's okay once or twice, but after three times, it gets really annoying.

We really enjoyed our stay at the hotel for two nights as we were passing through. It's very modern with beautiful interiors. The breakfasts were beyond excellent, and the staff were incredibly polite. The cleaning service was superb, and all the windows were spotless. Our room was very cozy. The only thing we would have loved to see is a self-service laundry facility, so we could wash and dry our clothes ourselves, just like in all the hotels we've stayed at in China.

The hotel's location is fantastic. You just cross the road from the hotel and you're at Pattaya Beach. It's also only about 4 km from the Sanctuary of Truth and about 2 km from Pattaya North Bus Station. Walking to Terminal 21 takes about 5 minutes. The breakfast is very rich, and the environment is excellent. The infinity pool on the 4th floor of the Bay Tower is perfect for photos.
