Mini 3 night, 4 days trip to Pattaya:

Hotel Vista Pattaya
Open 24hours/day
website: http://www.hotelvista.com
Call: +66 (0) 38 052 300
Address: 196 Pattaya Soi 4, Banglamung, Chonburi 20150, Thailand

Hotel Vista was overall a nice hotel. Good location there in Soi 4 of north Pattaya. There is a Family Mart nearby, lots of restaurants, taxi stands, and even the Pattaya International Hospital very near. Hotel Vista is located right opposite of Mike Beach Resort. Hotel Vista is a very nice looking hotel, with a lot of extra’s, but quite a few were a bit disappointing also. Great free breakfast buffet, nice gym, nice rooms, but they do have an ant problem in their bedrooms. Also, the free wifi only works about 40% of the time. The room I stayed in did not have hot water. And the steam room was out of service. Overall, for the price, Hotel Vista was a disappointment to my friend and I both. Although it was a decent experience, I will choose to not stay there again.

The Rooms: The rooms at Hotel Vista were very nice, looking great. Nice balcony view, nice size. My only problems were they have small ants that are everywhere, I even found a couple dead ants in my bed. Also my room 712 did not have hot water in the shower or sink. Was a nice raindrop shower with bathtub, but taking a cold bath is not really my thing. The aircon did work very well, you could make your room into a winter feeling if you really wanted lol. You get 2 free bottles of water per day, and another great thing is the minibar is fully stacked with drinks, water, alcohol and snacks. Also there is a water boiler for making tea and coffee and a hair dryer too. Dvd player in each room is a bonus too.
The Menu: The menu has a lot of great foods to choose from, western menu section and also a thai menu section. They also have a lot of healthy choices too.
What I Ate: I ate the spaghetti bolognese, it was great!
The Staff: The staff was very friendly always, very welcoming and nice.
The Facilities: The gym was nice and clean, a little bit small, but it’s perfect for a hotel and travel. The steam room was not in service so that was a big downer.
The Bathrooms: Bathrooms clean and nice.

Extras: Hotel Vista has free wifi internet for customers, BUT, I would not really consider this hotel if you are serious about using internet, it was 1 of the worst internet connections that I’ve seen from all my travels in my life. Also another big downer was they are advertised to have a steam room, but it was not available for use when I’m there. They do give you a few drink tickets for free beer at the hotel bar, and also you get a delicious free breakfast too.
