Bottom Line

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.

Oyster Hotel Review

Nova Gold Hotel

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.

Breakfast is offered as well for a fee at the Amari Nova Suites Pattaya, which is a three-minute walk away.
