Welcome Plaza Hotel Pattaya

On the first day, they gave me a room with thin walls. I could hear all my neighbors' conversations. The built-in air conditioner was really loud. I walked barefoot and my feet turned black. There was also a sewage smell. The next day, they moved me to a different room, and everything was fine there.

Excellent location. The room was comfortable, but showing its age (stained walls, worn furniture, no hooks for towels or clothes in the bathroom). The outlets didn't hold plugs well. The water in the glass bottles had a stale smell. There was no kettle. The bed (mattress and pillows) was comfortable, and the linen was clean and changed once a week. Housekeeping was good, but sometimes the room wasn't cleaned, or sometimes it wasn't cleaned but the bed was made. The TV channel quality was poor. The pool was clean, but the jacuzzi wasn't working. The grounds were well-maintained. For breakfast, there was a good selection of Thai dishes, adapted for Europeans (not spicy and without sauces), which in my opinion made them less tasty. There were no separate Thai spices or sauces. For fruit, only pineapple and watermelon were available, which were brought out infrequently and in small quantities. There were also vegetable platters. The staff were kind and helpful. There are free safes at the reception. Despite the mentioned drawbacks, I was comfortable.

The hotel is located on the second street, which is very convenient for getting around the city. Breakfast is included and it's decent; picky eaters will always find something to eat. Personally, I had no complaints. The hotel primarily caters to Indian guests, who make up about 80% of the clientele, but I experienced no inconvenience from this. The deep swimming pool is excellent and almost always empty. The only downsides for us were the room's furnishings – there wasn't much space for clothes and only one chair for two people. I would suggest adding a bit more furniture in this regard. The staff is friendly. I'd give it a solid four stars.
