Hotel Mountain Beach Hotel 4 * (Pattaya) until recently had only three stars on its sign. But the latest reorganization made this hotel more comfortable, and it was upgraded to four. The hotel is very well located, so tourists rated it as a city and beach at the same time. It is more or less convenient to get from it to entertainment in the center of Pattaya, and to the sea.

We conducted the analysis based on real reviews.
How to get to Pattaya and to the hotel
There are two ways to get to the Mountain Beach Hotel 4 * (Pattaya). Pattaya (Thailand) has its own Utapao (former military) airport, which is located very close to the hotel. But you can use the traditional way - first fly to the international hub of Bangkok, and then take the bus to Pattaya. Moreover, getting here from the capital of Thailand is just a couple of hours. The transfer will take you to hotels, but independent travelers will need a taxi.
Pattaya, Pratamnak District
If you come here, you might be surprised. This area is completely unlike typical Pattaya. This area is located between the city center and Jomtien. This is a sleeping area, so you have to get to some particularly party places either by taxi or tuk-tuk. But in the evening you can get enough sleep, and no noise is heard. Pratamnak is named for the hill on which it is located. Therefore, the Mountain Beach Hotel 4 * (Pattaya) is also located on a hill. Photos of the city from some of its rooms come out just wonderful. Since tourists from the Russian Federation and other countries of the former Soviet Union love this area, the owners of local cafes and shops, not to mention the tour bureaus, post inscriptions in Russian. The beach at this area is separate, and on its sides are high cliffs. The place is good, calm, suitable for families with children. Pratamnak has its own infrastructure, so there are markets, massage parlors, and all kinds of rentals. But on the other hand, this area is quite isolated, and cheap tuk-tuks bypass it.
