Reasonably priced, great location, co”

My wife and I almost passed up on this hotel after reading some of the bad reviews. However, with such a high percentage of good reviews, we decided to take a chance. And boy, we weren't disappointed ! I now have a strong suspicion the "bad" reviews were either sent by people with unreasonable expectations of a hotel in this price-bracket, or, sent in by neighboring hotel competitors losing business to The Now. For example, some "bad" reviews mentioned that this hotel resembled a half-finished construction site. The Now is already advertised as such, and if a person still books in and complain about it, I think there is something not right with his intentions. The Now's decor is very very in, and very contemporary, with cement flooring and pine colored wooden furniture. People who cannot understand such design nor appreciate it from website photos and yet choose to stay there and then pass "bad" comments about its decor, clearly has a big problem, or an axe to grind. Breakfast has a wide enough spread - they catered to western as well as Asian porridge and noodles. We stayed in an S room, and this room is VERY spacious and the ceiling was about 2.9 meters high - again this proves that the reviews of an undersized room are not true. Rooms are clean and fair wear and tear, it's a 10 for us. All my comments are based on this price bracket. I WILL stay there again if we do come back. Highly, highly, recommended.

Awesome Stays”

First time in Pattaya and chose this hotel which located at Jomtien Beach area. Hotel location is great as in the middle of the Jomtien. Jomtien beach is far from the main city area but it considered as another centralised location of its own. Cost of travelling to the main city attractions like central festival mall and walking street is around 200 baht in a group of 7 persons with the use of pattaya single cab "duk duk". 7-eleven is right beside the hotel only which is so convenient for the travellers. Beach is just across the road. Walking down the street you can see lots of shop along the road. Easy access to the Jomtien night market with lots of foods and bar which are so happening at night but recommend to use a single cab duk duk (transportation) with only 10 baht per person if lazy to walk down the street. Hotel has really good massage service. Staff is friendly and helpful with lots of greet and smiles on their face. Will definitely stay here again.

A very big surprise LOVED IT!”

I read so many reviews before arriving at the Now hotel. So many people were mixed on the location and the hotel itself. I am from Ireland so I am particular, however the staff 10/10 were extremely nice and welcoming every time we entered or left the hotel or needed anything. The rooms were fabulous and have a bath tub in the room was amazing! ALL TV channels also. Not to mention fully cleaned every morning and bed sheets changed etc by a lovely girl who was very nice! The breakfast had a lot of options too, We stayed 9 nights, so the breakfast does get boring but hey! Location, some people say far out, far from center etc, well yes if you are going pattaya for the walking street and pattaya beach...well maybe you should stay in Pattaya then? This hotel is in Jomtian beach, right across the road from an AMAZING beach. You can get a 10 baht taxi every few minutes right outside to the center. This is the most relaxing hotel by far and just all around an amazing stay!

Good Potential--But Not Child Friendly”

the now hotel has friendly, helpful staff, a very modern design, and it is right across the road from the beach. jomtien beach is much quieter than pattaya beach, but restaurants and night life are relatively close by. as a single traveler or a couple without kids i would be very happy here. there isn't a pool, but we were told that if we would like to use one then they had an arrangement with another hotel so that we could use theirs instead. however, i feel some simple oversights prevent this hotel from being good for families. there aren't any ramps to get in and out of the hotel, so those with strollers need to carry them in and out each time. the balconies have railings that leave about a 30 cm gap right at the bottom so toddlers could crawl right off the edge. also, the hot water in the washroom would fluctuate on-and-off so that taking a warm shower was virtually impossible. it's a good thing the cold water in thailand isn't that cold because that was how we were forced to shower. i'd happily come back to the now hotel, but some of these oversights would need to be addressed first. i feel the hotel has potential, but our current situation means that next time we go to jomtien beach we'll need to seek alternative accommodations.

Very modern design...large rooms”

Away from the maddening crowd and noise of beach road in Pattaya...the Now hotel, located in Jomtien area, fronting the beach is another reasonably priced hotel that I would want to return to if given a chance...The design is unique and modern, the room very spacious with its own balcony for smoking...and the bfast reasonable with enough spread to choose from...Thanks for a lovely stay.

hip & cool little hotel”

my friend and i spent only 1 night stay there at the now. we felt in love with the photos of this hotel since we frist look onto the internet. rates offer are good, i personally think it is valued for money to select and stay at this hotel. location is also good, near by the main road which has the jomtien beach just right across the street. guestroom (we got the s, double beded room), aminities in guest room are very chic. staff are very friendly. breakfast is not to variety but taste good. the resto itself is too packed i think. however, i think both my friend and i made a good choice!!!

well thought out hotel... thumbs up”

didnt expect much because price was reasonable, and not such a fan of pattaya/jomtien... but this place was a nice surprise.... architecture is on the experiemntal side which may appeal to younger bangkok crowd for weekends... room was cool, i had a size M and was decent... had separate shower and tub which is great... small balcony could see ocean... reception and staff were quite good...wifi worked... breakfast buffet surprisingly good... and the outdoor cafe bar across from sea was a great place to sit... overall the feeling you get is that this is one of those places where they actually thought about all the details and all the aspects of building and running a hotel beforehand... cant find anything dissapointing to say...

Hip Hotel by The Jomtien Beach”

The Now is modern hotel, located on the Jomtien beach next to Pattaya beach. From15 mins from heart of Pattaya. The decoration of this hotel is Loft Style with show the consturction of hotel. I picked the small room for my holiday and it's good one. Small room but full facilites. The bathroom is see trough some part and very sexy for the couples. Surrounding the hotel had many food hawker and convient store like 7-11. And night bar, resturant around the hotel are good.

Not within Pattaya, gr8 4 family/couple relaxation”

Traveled with my best mate and chose this hotel as it looks quite quirky and contemporary, and of cause it fit within our uni-student budgets! We got there by taxi with a bargain of baht from Sukhumvit Bangkok, which skips the hassle of finding a taxi to the hotel when reaching Pattaya Coach station as it's NOT right within the city centre, not to mention this hotel is located at Jomtien Beach (SW of Pattaya Town). This hotel isn't for you if you're after the sex life/hussle&buzzle, but awesome for families and guys who fancy water sports or great beautiful beach (right in front of the hotel). The hotel itself is okay (limited English but they've tried their best), pretty new beds and the bath is ok but with design flaws (floods easily). They have a 7-Eleven 24hrs store right at the hotel shop which is very handy! The hotel itself provides a wide variety of food during breakfast and it's not continental breakfast u tend to get in BKK. They don't have a swimming pool, but as this hotel is part of the giant hotel by the coastline, you're free to access their 2 swimming pools and they take u there from this hotel to there free by a golf kart (only about 1/2 km or 550yrds away so you can walk anyway). Overall quite satisfy, despite it could be a big pain in the back when trying to get back from the central Pattaya during midnight as taxi cost 100baht min.

Modern Loft Decoration”

I spend my weekend at Jomtien Beach, Pattaya. If you looking for a nice beach and not much people, this is a good choice one. The Now Hotel is Modern Loft Style located opposite Jomtien beach. Easy to come from Bangkok or Suvannabhumi Airport. The hotel clean, full of facilities (for me) and very nice staff. Hotel has the abandoned building surrounding hotel area, But it's safe. And there are many seafood restaurant on this street.

Lovely Hotel but No Pool”

We enjoyed our stay at the Now Hotel, the hotel was located so neary the Jomtien beach. The rooms have a style. Kind staff and overall good experience. have a convineince store next to the hotel. one of bad thing cos there have no pool.

Service with smile & Chic Design & Good Location”

Since you stepped in the NOW hotel, you would feel amazed with the design and decorations. All staffs here were friendly and also pleased to help everything to pleasant your stay. Select XL room if you love to sit down and relax with sea-view at your room balcony. The beach was so closed just cross the road. A convenient store (7-11) was a part of this hotel ! Anyway, if you'd like to taste local seafood you can walk around the area for restaurant near the beach. The parking space was next to the hotel and had security guard to look after your vehicle.

Post-modern style hotel in quiet beach”

The lively beach is pattaya beach. This hotel in another peach side which is more quiet, also far away from the red-light zone.So if you choose heare, you should pay a little more for the transportation fee, but go the south corner of the beach, the sea food is cheaper than the night market. The hotel is newly built with very post-modern style, not traditional style. so the facilities are new but you can also notice the land nearby is also on sold and there is a cow eating on the grass. What I love most is the openned-style hall, you can sit in the hall to face the whole sea. But the sea water is not very pure when I live in this hotel. It is a pitty. I like the quiet and nice people. There is welcome juice. But I think the hotel can pay some attention to the details of the hotel's decoration.

A beautiful seaside hotel”

for those who are sensual and have an eye for arts i recommend this truly amazing hotel facing the sea. tucked away at soi 12 of jomtien beach road, this is a peaceful tavern but not without convenient, as a seven eleven store is just next to the hotel and the truck-taxi is just 20baht from pattaya major. it’s design is rustic and minimalist, and for the untrained eyes the use of concrete seems unfurnished. but for those who knows arts will see that the design is well balanced. the lobby is loft with modern rattan furniture and a bar. during my stay the breeze just glide into the lobby, making the loft very airy and cool. seating at the lobby bar it makes for a great sunrise and set view! i have a small superior room that comes with everything one need for a holiday - soft queen sized bed facing a lcd tv with dvd player. a well stocked min-bar complete with tea making facilities. toilet comes with a bathtub and shower portioned from the room with froze glass wall. staff is helpful and the manager speak good english. i will be back.

Nice new hotel”

New hotel with nice staff and a good bar / restaurant. There isn't a pool, but it is over the road from Jomtien beach, which is infinitely more pleasant than the beach in Pattaya. The hotel is pretty much central along beach road so it has easy access to the bars and restaurants along the road.

Great new hotel with dedicated staff.”

the now appeared to be a rather new hotel, so we decided to give it a try. the hotel was ideal for us. rooms were clean, spacious and inviting and the staff was friendly and helpful. the hotel is not located in central pattaya, but transport is easy to get and the location is rather peaceful compared to downtown pattaya.

Exceptional”

My stay was ten days and I was very happy with the hotel. Conveniently located on the beachfront but away from the hustle of Pattaya. There is a Seven Eleven store in the front of the lobby which is 24/7 and has most items for sale. Cheap and easy transport on the 10bhat bus right out front. I got a great massage in the hotel spa which was amazing and cheap. Breakfast was good but could do with better air con in restaurant. I ordered room service dinner one night and was very happy with meal and price. The room was spacious with comfy bed, nice view and a great shower and bath. I will definitely stay here again and have recommended to others already.

Lovely hotel, beautiful rooms”

The XL room was very modern and had great views of the ocean and great air conditioning. The bar was located right on the street with views straight across to the beach and the atmosphere was relaxed.Centrally located at Jomtien Beach just 10 minutes from Pattaya in a Baht Bus.

Nice place”

I really enjoyed staying in The Now. Staff were friendly and the room was clean. The best thing was the hotel was not too for me to walk to the Jomtien beach night market where i got dinner and shopping stuff from.
