Mandarin Eastville, Pattaya

We spent a delightful three-day New Year’s getaway on the ‘Classic’ side of the hotel. Arriving around 9:00 am, we dropped off our luggage and headed out for lunch. By 1100 am, I received a call informing us that our room was ready, showcasing the fantastic staff who communicated so promptly. The hotel is exceptionally clean and beautifully decorated with a Japanese theme. It boasts a spacious layout with stunning city views and a balcony featuring a table for relaxation. On our next visit, I plan to request a poolside view. The room includes a large television, extra bottles of water, and substantial wardrobes. An alarm clock is provided for convenience, and the bathtub is impressively large, with generous toiletries available. Guests can enjoy complimentary Wi-Fi throughout the hotel, as well as a minibar stocked with coffee, tea, and a refrigerator. During your stay, take advantage of the amenities, including two small pools, a gym, and a sauna, along with a small playground for children. For those driving, free parking is provided. Breakfast was enjoyable, though quite basic. We dined on the ‘Zen’ side, where the ‘Egg Station’ is located outside the ‘Me Eatery and Bar’ restaurant. This restaurant offers various set menus and a buy one, get one free drinks deal. If time permits, Mandarin Eastville is conveniently close to the evening market, Max Pattaya Boxing World, Mini Siam Miniature Park, Pattaya Park Tower, and the Million Years Stone Park and Crocodile Farm, with several popular attractions within walking distance. Whether you’re visiting for business, pleasure, or both, Mandarin Eastville guarantees a memorable stay in Pattaya. The tranquil semi-remote location provides a pleasant escape from the busy areas of Pattaya. There is no public transportation available, but I learned that using Bolt and Grab is quite affordable. Additionally, motor taxis can be flagged down along the main road; just remember to negotiate the fare before hopping in. However, there were a couple of downsides: although the tap water gets extremely hot, regulating the hot shower proved to be a challenge. I didn’t let this bother me too much, as the water was still comfortably warm. I also had some trouble opening the balcony door, which nearly caused me to miss the fireworks countdown. Also, don't lose your keycards to avoid getting fined. Overall, it was a wonderful getaway and would definitely comeback on the next holiday.

Designer hotel with modern Japan style simplicity decor, good choice if seeking for modern comfort. Excellent restaurant food for a dinner set at 799 baht. Also plenty car park spaces.

No shower gel provided during day one when check-in, requested from house keeping but the staff say it is finish and need to wait for next day. Aircond water leaking.

The room itself is big. Breakfast choice is standard.

Posh hotel. Little far. But just call a bolt. Room is spacious and clean. Well worth $40-$50

Super nice and that. Little far from the city, but manageable with grab.
