Holiday Inn Express Pattaya Central, an IHG Hotel

At first this looks like good hotel with a great breakfast. But that is for families with children. Because of familyroom the sound between rooms is noticeable. Breakfast is continental, but which continent? I have been to africa and had better breakfast there. And Asia incl middle east and Europe. The AC in my room was set at 21 deg and couldnt be changed. Noise from restaurant across the street was noticeable in room too.

Good - 15 minute walk to the beach. Lots of dining options. Good breakfast options. Good internet. Nice pool & workout room. Baht Bus stops in front of hotel. Great air conditioning. Comfortable beds. Pretty good sound proofing of rooms. Bad - not the best option for family because women are soliciting business right outside. Pattaya is a party town & central to expat sexploitation. As a woman I’m not offended just wouldn’t bring younger children to this area. There are VERY strong odors that sometime take over the hallway & rooms. I believe it’s the plumbing but it’s strong enough to gag you it’s smells like urine some days and other days it smells like boiled cabbage. I don’t know if it can fixed because you smell it even stronger when walking in the streets. Yes, I would recommend this hotel. It’s in a central location, Amazing price and the few negatives are pretty much out of their control.
