“Different point of view”
The beds are well spaced apart (the rooms have 4 or 8 beds) so that the possibility of disturbing or being disturbed by others is greatly reduced, for this reason this hostel was my favorite hostel in Pattaya. In addition, access to the upper beds was very easy. I saw some not-so-positive reviews about cleanliness, I can say that the rooms were decent. I can confirm that the bathroom really seemed not to be cleaned for days. I stayed for several days, the first time I made a reservation through booking, then I paid at the reception, the person there said that he would give me a 5% discount if I book directly through them. The good part was that they had 4 bathrooms per floor for a room of 4, one of 8 and one private, so they were less crowded and you had time to wash the floor with the hose and unclog the drain in case it was clogged from the previous guests. And the fact that they didn't have soap and toilet paper again doesn't seem like a big inconvenience to me, they are relatively cheap things that almost anyone can buy and have with them. More important to me is the room so that you can have a good night's sleep. It's true that there was no locker with a key available in my room (some were occupied, others were missing the locking device) when I arrived, but the receptionist was kind and made one available to me in a room on another floor. That wasn't a big inconvenience either, I was moving around twice a day, and the people in the other room didn't seem to look suspiciously at me for always showing up there. The hostel is located a few minutes walk from a beautiful beach, and in there are shops and restaurants with decent prices. And the staff is extremely smiling, even much more smiling than is the case, and this motivated me to write this rich review.

The staff here are amazing. Kareem is one of the loveliest guys and is very helpful. The beds are super comfortable and it’s clean- There’s such a social vibe at this hostel, it’s almost like you become family here. The location is great- 30 seconds from the beach and plenty of food options around. definitely will be coming back here whenever i visit pattaya. highly recommended

no wifi, no drinking water, no public access to beach, if you want to spend 500 baht per pax to visit Rocky beach up to you.
