Nova Platinum Hotel

[FatherMojo]

I walked through the Nova Platinum Hotel during the New Year's holiday and here is a brief report.

http://www.amari.com/novaplatinum/hotels-roomsrates.asp

 

 

78 rooms (34 Superior and 44 Deluxe)

Deluxe = pool and garden view.

 

The hotel is located at the old bowling alley located on Pratamanak Road. Second Road turns into Pratamanak Road just before the left turn towards Jomtiem.

 

 

The lobby is spaciously laid out in red and it feels very airy.

 

 

There is a restaurant and a pool.

 

 

Heading to your room you will be greeted by a hallway. Hmmm... all the doors seem to have the same spacing between each other.

 

The rooms are nicely laid out, but they are all the same size.... 24sq meters.

 

 

This is nice hotel, but on the expensive side. Checking their website for 17 Apr to 24 Apr holiday stay, the costs ranged from USD 54 per night to USD 96 per night +10% Service Charge and 7% VAT.

 

So let's say for a 7 night stay you will cough up about 14k~25k Baht. No thank-you.

 

Even though this place is sparkling new and clean, I cannot recommend it as a good value. Those prices for a 24 square meter room are crazy. There is not even a place to comfortably eat your Phad Thai and watch the telly.

Prices could change if the rooms stay vacant. I checked out the new hotgel on soi 6/1 after they first opened around Dec 1st. The cheapest room was listed at about 6500 a night, a friend told me that its now been reduced by over half, still high but could come down more if they don't rent out the rooms.

I think he is referring to Pattaya Discovery Beach Hotel. It is locate on Soi 6/1 and Beach Road.

Copy from Green Park...

"Validity Now - 31 Oct '06

and 16 April '07 - 31 Oct '

07 Stay and pay for 6 consecutive nights & get

the 7 night for free incl. ABF"

 

For the prices they are charging you would think they could update their website with the proper dates.

 

I think, and I could be wrong, that most of the guests at these places are part of the package tourist crowd.

The Discovery Beach website was down for a couple of days. Probably so they can yet again revise the pricing structure This is about the 4th set of prices I've seen from them. They'll get it right eventually

Yes you would think that their wed master would of picked up on this but I think it is just a typo as all other dates are correct. Normally I would not pay this price but I grab 5 days in a Bungalow for 1800 baht at the end of April, I thought that was a good price for 2 would have pay each here in Australia and triple the price.
