Far
from airports
The upscale, 77-room Nova Gold
Hotel Pattaya is a good value for central Pattaya, and is just a 10-minute walk
to Pattaya Beach. Contemporary, basic rooms have balconies plus walk-in showers
with rainfall showerheads, and most have separate tubs and desktop computers. The
small, shaded outdoor pool and hot tub are open all day, and an affiliated off-site restaurant, serving all meals, is less than a five-minute walk away. Freebies include Wi-Fi,
an area shuttle, and garage parking. Guests desiring more amenities should
consider the Hard Rock Hotel Pattaya, with its on-site restaurants,
full-service spa, and extensive fitness center.
Scene
A stylish, simple hotel with lovely gold-toned art pieces
A plain, tan building with
rounded edges and white rails on the balconies comprises the pleasant, relaxed Nova Gold Hotel Pattaya. The functional, neutral-toned lobby offers a bit more
interest with a lovely gold statue in the center plus interesting sculptures
and paintings with gold details. Comfortable tan couches and armchairs are also
in the lobby while hallways feature beautiful art pieces on yellow walls.
Mostly couples stay here, though some business travelers and families pass
through as well.
Location
In central Pattaya, just a 10-minute walk from Central Center Pattaya
The Nova Gold Hotel Pattaya
is on a gritty block in central Pattaya, with restaurants, shops, and city
hotels a one-minute walk in any direction. Central Center Pattaya and Pattaya
Beach are a 10-minute walk, as is Alcazar Cabaret, while Central Festival,
Tiffany’s Show, and the Hard Rock Café are 15 minutes by foot. A 15-minute
drive takes guests to the famous Walking Street and Pattaya Exhibition and Convention Hall
(PEACH), but the closest airport, Utapao International Airport, is around a
45-minute drive away. Suvarnabhumi International Airport is one hour and 35 minutes away by car.
Rooms
Modern and clean with balconies and rainfall showerheads; most have computers
Neutral tones adorn the
spacious, modern rooms with gold accents in the paintings and headboards, and
wood floors throughout. However, the size of the spaces compared to the accents can make rooms feel a bit bare. Minibars and 32-inch flat-screen TVs are available in
addition to DVD players, coffeemakers, and air conditioning. All rooms have
furnished balconies, and most have desktop computers, which are free to use.
Bathrooms are contemporary, but plainly outfitted in tan tile from floor to ceiling, and
offer glassed-in showers with rainfall showerheads. Most also have separate
tubs and some have windows. Nova Gold Hotel Pattaya toiletries are provided.
Features
24-hour outdoor pool and hot tub, plus a nearby restaurant and breakfast (for a fee)
The blue tile, free-form
outdoor pool features a rock waterfall and is open all day, along with
the large outdoor hot tub. A wood overhang covers half the space with white
lounge chairs underneath, but the pool is small, and shaded most of the day. Thai
and International cuisines as well as beer and cocktails are served at
Jameson’s Irish Pub:. a sports bar shared with Nova Park Hotel (the sister hotel)
across the street. Breakfast is offered as well for a fee at the Amari Nova
Suites Pattaya, which is a three-minute walk away. Massages are available in
the single room at the Sukavadee Massage & Spa, and there is a small
fitness center with free weights, plus a few cardio and weight machines. Two
computers constitute the business center. A free scheduled shuttle to shopping
malls, Walking Street, and Central Festival is provided, and Wi-Fi and garage
parking are free.
