![]() I paid extra for breakfast and it was worth it. The hotel has a small pool – nice enough, if you want to relax a little and a good alternative to the so-so beach. There is a hair dryer as well as soft towels.Īmenities: The hotel seemed to be a little older than the one in Bangkok and showed some wear in the room, bathroom and hallways – enough to notice, not enough to be considered a problem. I find them very practical and better for the environment than thousands of little plastic bottles. ![]() There are shampoo/soap dispensers which some people don’t like. The shower is in the corner, making it feel more spacious than it is, has glass doors and great water pressure. It is all-tiles with accent mosaic tiles above the sink. The bathroom is also small, yet well thought out. The bed oddly was a European “double”, instead of the expected “queen” bed – basically, two single beds pushed together with a noticeable gap in the middle, not my favorite. ![]() There is a bench to sit or store luggage and plenty of room for large luggage under the raised bed, so a couple with multiple large suit cases will still be able to move around easily. The room has universal electric outlets for all your gadgets, a safe for valuables, a fridge and kettle. I like the hardwood/laminate floor and the light-wood furniture, giving it a bit of a Scandinavian feel (think Ikea). Room: The room is pretty much identical to the one at the ibis Sathorn – if you wake up after a night out on town, you might not remember which town! It is compact, quite modern and very functional. I walked over from the Mercure where I stayed the night before, the check in was quick and friendly and the lobby as the same cheery, colorful cafeteria look as the ibis Sathorn. It’s a short walk from public transport and the beach, with a view of the parking lot – or the Mercure mini-water park. It’s located in North Pattaya, next door to the brand new Mercure Ocean Resort (reviewed here). Location: I expected the ibis Pattaya to be very similar – and it was. I liked it and named it the “cheapest hotel in Bangkok I’d still recommend”. Ibis is the budget brand (read more here) within the Accor group of hotels and I recently stayed at the ibis Bangkok Sathorn (read here).

Visit book online.If you have read about “The Power of Promotions I” ( here), you know about my plan to stay at three Accor hotels in Thailand for as little as possible to earn Gold Status and lots of Air Berlin miles. The Ibis Hotel brand stays committed in providing world-class quality hospitality for practical travellers around the globe. It’s also only around 400 meters away from the famous Pattaya beach making it such an ideal hotel. ![]() Pharmacy, grocery, mall, bargain markets, nightlife, restaurants – everything was just a few steps away. It’s just along the main road so all the shops I wanted to visit were of walking distance. Too bad I wasn’t able to hang-out for some drinks since our schedule was tight.Īside from being satisfied with my room, service and food, I really loved its location. I also saw that they had a bar lounge located at the ground floor right beside the pool area. Don’t forget to sprinkle with a bit more chilli flakes for added kick. Their Thai dishes here are also tasty, so please, please don’t pass on it. They offer continental, Indian and Thai dishes so if you’re not used to, or familiar yet with Thai food, I assure you’ll find equally satisfying tummy fillers to keep you full. My room here at Ibis Hotel Pattaya also had its own veranda with this view…īreakfast buffet is served daily on the ground floor at Taste Restaurant. They may not be fancy, but these things are the things which I find really important with every hotel stay. Their free wifi was also fast and reliable. The stuff you’ll see in the room are basic amenities like cable tv, tea/coffee making facility, safety deposit box and hairdryer. I found the pillows too soft though, I wish they had a pillow menu like in other properties (or maybe they do, I just failed to ask). =) Like with all Accor Hotel properties, the Ibis Hotel brand also offers highly comfortable beds. I tend to shop a lot during trips, so I really appreciate having that extra space. With bigger space, I also get more space to move around or sit on the floor while I pack my stuff. Unlike other value/budget hotels, the Ibis brand has bigger rooms, making it feel less claustrophobic.
