Golden Tulip Essential Pattaya

This hotel is situated in Naklua and not in amongst the madness that is the Pattaya Beach area. Having said that it is very close and cheap to the night life by taxi or the Baht Bus (the blue pickup trucks). There is a good number of local bars and restaurants in the vicinity namely The Palms Restaurant on Soi 14, Torti's Biergarten on the Pattaya-Naklua Road and not to mention a rural and local run makeshift restaurant also on Soi 14 (I don't think it has a name). These are all about 5 minutes away on foot. Further north about 20 minutes walk is the Naklua Fish Market where there are some wonderful places to try the local caught seafood. Again, very close to the hotel and on the Pattaya-Naklua Road, there is a night market with great local food. There is also a outdoor Karaoke bar/restaurant if that is your thing. Let's face it, it is most people's thing after a few Changs or Singhas. The hotel is around 7 stories. Each room is large and has a balcony, most with good views of Naklua. There is someone on duty 24 hours a day. All the members of staff are friendly and attentive. If there is an issue with something in your room then usually it is sorted out swiftly. Breakfast is offered but I never tried it as I felt there was so much street food nearby it would be a shame to waste the opportunity. The Sanctuary of Truth is about a 20 minute walk from the hotel or a 5 minute taxi ride. For such a short journey it is worth just getting a moto which is a moto scooter taxi. I always return to this hotel on my visits and I recommend it to my friends who also visit.

The wifi is a bit hit and miss.

Value for money property in Pattaya. Away from the chaos of South Pattaya. Nice breakfast though repeated both days. Provide free parking for your vehicles. Will help if you have your own vehicle. Room with balcony overlooking the pool. Pook at the front desk very helpful and charming personality. Clean pool and a little fitness center. Will return, if I'm in Pattaya again.

Do something about the vicious alley dogs. The property will turn out nice after renovations complete.

Internet doesnt work properly in rooms. Also staff at reception doesnt have basic mathematical knowledge. I asked them how they can charge service tax on room rent plus vat. It should be on room rent only. But staff started shouting when I asked just to correct the calculation. I backed off as because it was just a difference of few Bahts, but unprofessional behaviour will stay long in my mind.

Comfortable bed and balcony. Value for money have coffee maker and locker.

Old style toilet, stuff was not stay always, no way to get instant support. So far from city. Swimming pool and other service we can not use in time. They have restrictions some in common area. So, I don't this is good hotel for tourist.

Pataya Beach,near 7 eleven, Quite Area.

The Manager call me before check out on call and no politely and ask to go immediately. Honestly place are good & room ok & air-conditioning great & location ok. Near 7 eleven. Security friendly even can't speak English I would I understand. WiFi no good very low. price are ok for three night.

pool was nice room was spacious, dogs were harmless just sleeping around relaxing

heat pump wasn’t as cold as we would’ve liked, some people were smoking and it went into our heat pump in the night and the room filled with smell

Breakfast is just enough and comprises all segments. Good environment for family trip.

at least one Sofa / sitting arrangement in room is suggested

Almost all

Cleanliness really need to be improved in the bathroom because smell of urine came up from floor to air.

Loved the very large rooms. Great air conditioning, 5 minutes walk to 7 11

No complaints, everything I needed was there.

Quiet environment

Old hotel . Need to renovate
