Traveler,

One
week
stay
I
researched
and
found
the
Grand
Hotel
as
a
recommended
place
to
stay.
But
realized
I
may
have
made
a
mistake
when
the
taxi
driver
kept
asking
why
I
was
staying
in
Little
India?"
The
location
is
right
off
of
Walking
Street.
Which
is
convenient,
but
I
could
hear
the
music
and
street
traffic.
Also,
I
have
to
say,
it’d
been
25
years
since
visiting
Pattaya;
and
had
I
known
how
it
“changed,”
I
would
have
booked
elsewhere
in
Pattaya.
I
booked
through
agoda
and
got
a
great
price.
And
for
the
price,
it
was
a
great
value.
The
room
is
modern,
maintained,
and
clean.
The
flooring
is
finished
concrete,
which
works
well.
And
the
WiFi
was
always
five
bars
and
never
faltered.
I
will
note
housekeeping
did
a
fantastic
job
of
the
rooms.
Large
screenTV,
large
safe,
and
large
fridge
all
came
with
the
room.
As
I
said,
since
your
close
to
the
action,
expect
residual
ambient
noise
from
Walking
Street.
Sadly,
the
in-house
restaurant
had
not
yet
reopened;
which
after
reading
past
reviews,
I
was
really
looking
forward
to
it.
Lastly,
many
of
the
photos
of
the
common
areas
are
dated.
Although
the
room
was
great,
the
common
areas
all
looked
dingy
and
neglected.
If
you
are
looking
to
stay
close
to
the
tourist
area
of
Walking
Street,
I
highly
suggest
the
Grand
Hotel.
But
if
you
want
Pattaya
of
yesteryear,
book
around
Soi
6,
7,
and
8
area.
Note:
If
you
take
the
Roong
Reuang
Bus
from
Suvarnabhumi
Airport
(BKK)
to
Pattaya
(143
baht),
please
have
the
hotel’s
location
in
Google
Maps.
Because
the
Hotel
is
wedged
in
a
tiny
alley
within
Little
India.
If
I
didn’t
have
the
map,
the
driver
would
not
have
known
where
to
go.
Expect
to
pay
around
200
baht
for
the
taxi
from
the
south
terminal
to
Grand
Hotel.
