Experience of the stay
I was attracted by the location near the sea and booked this place for my trip.
There was a pathway that directly accessed the beach from a courtyard with a pool, making it easy to stroll over.
The accommodation is also conveniently located near the 'Central' department store, where you can find anything you need for shopping.
However, as expected for the price, the building felt somewhat old.
The room was spacious enough and had a view of the courtyard with the pool, which was green and scenic, but...
The most concerning issue was the very low water pressure of the shower. I wanted to take a proper shower and feel refreshed, but the water pressure was disappointing.
Also, since my room faced the main street, I could hear the sounds from the bars at night. It wasn't too loud, but...
This time, my room was on the 3rd floor (the building is three stories tall) and there was no elevator, so it was a bit tough with heavy luggage. Fortunately, the porter helped carry my bags during check-in.
There were some issues, but considering the location and price, I think it's a good accommodation if you prioritize cost performance.
This time, I opted for the 'STANDARD DOUBLE OR TWIN' to save money, but the 'NEW STANDARD' is in a newly built section and is not located on the noisy street… I can't say for sure since I didn't stay there, but since the price difference isn't significant, I think the 'NEW STANDARD' might be a better choice.
The courtyard has a pool that is quite deep.
The pool was clean, but the beds by the poolside were quite worn out.
Additionally, this accommodation has rooms that allow pets and even has a pet pool. I found it quite calming to see the cat they keep at the lodge playing in the courtyard.
I recommend this place for those who come to Pattaya, want to take a stroll to the beach, and want to keep the costs down.
Experiences during the trip
In Pattaya, I spent a relaxing time at the beach.
A highly recommended food to try in Pattaya is 'Gai Tod' (Thai fried chicken), which you can find at any food stall, but I think the one near the entrance of Dongtan Beach is the most delicious, so I have it every time I come to Pattaya.
I also recommend a kebab roll stall. The location of this stall changes frequently, but you can generally find it while walking along the main street of Pattaya at night. I have never seen this kebab roll stall in Bangkok, so I make sure to find it and eat when I come to Pattaya. It's delicious and reasonably priced at 60 Baht.
Additionally, Pattaya's beach is lively even late at night, making it a great place to enjoy affordable street food as well.
