Booked on line because of location- not too disappointed.
by David from Western Australia
Nov 1, 2009
Compliments; Despite a number of poor reviews of this hotel, we found that the deluxe rooms were spacious, well cleaned and value for the price paid. The staff were all friendly, perhaps using some Thai language made this so. The breakfasts, included in the room price, were a choice of three Thai dishes and/or what is often described as an American breakfast, eg fried eggs, thai sausages, ham, toast, fruit, juice, tea and coffee.
Complaints; Noisy guests eg doors slamming and conversations 2am.
Construction work across the Soi, constant 8am to 5pm pile driving. Absolutely hideous overbearing noise.
Once construction is finished, as long as more doesn't start too near this hotel would be excellent value if the deluxe rooms are used. Can't speak for the cheaper rooms, but you get what you pay for anywhere in asia.

by Chartre Lucktong from Thailand

I like this Hotel, Wing B... Whenever come to Pattaya, I mostly stay in this Hotel mainly in a new building (Wing B). Very good location ..just right in all the action, food, shops, rental boat to any island. Good value for 3 stars hotel. Sleep is very comfortable, not noisy of any kind in the Hotel. Breakfast is just OK many selections, fine taste. I will surely visit again when past thru Pattaya.

Great hotel for 1st timer in pattaya.
by bangzsg from Singapore
Mar 3, 2009
Good location, near the beach and with the new shopping centre (Central Festival) just a 5 min walk. Almost centralised to everything in pattaya. Really value for $. Staff are really helpful as i got my room with a spoilt water heater and phone and they fix it ASAP with a friendly attitude. Only -ve point is can't really see the sea from the room. i stay in the delux room.

Excellent value for money
by Daniel from Melbourne, Australia
Nov 4, 2008
Very cheap hotel in a very good location. The rooms were cleaned regulary and the breakfast was not too bad. No charge for overnight visitor. Overal, very good value for the money. The hotel is not fancy and has no pool but for approximately 25 $ a night for a superior room and being 50 meters from the beach and few hundred meters from the night life it is a good choice.

Rooms OK but ABF really bad

i think it´s exceptable according to the money spent per night but the food should taste better and the staff should be more friendly since there´re customers checking in and out all the time.

Average Hotel for Average Price
by Anthony Smalley from Malaysia
Sep 16, 2008
Nothing special here. The price was ok for what we received but I did find the staff less friendly than other places we have stayed at. A bit lacking in the traditional Thai hospitality.

Economy hotel showing its age, but would stay again
by A. Putzenheimer from United States
Aug 30, 2008
This hotel is showing its age. As typical with many asian countries, maintenance is carried out by the clueless. However, they are in the process of painting rooms while I was there, so maybe there is some hope. The walls in the stairwell are a puky yellow that is now kind of mustard color from all the stains. There is an anoying phone on each floor presumably for room service/maid that starts loudly ringing from 8 in the morning. I´ve seen reports about theft of personal belongings from web reports, but I stayed 9 days and didn´t have anything taken, like digital camera, laptop, walkman, etc. The breakfast is definitely, "ABF" or ASIAN breakfast, definitely NOT American breakfast. It consisted of bread, juice, coffee, tea, a couple of buffet warming trays with three various asian dishes like, ginger chicken, stir fry cabbage, occasionally a curry dish, always an failed experimental looking asian dish and fried rice. They have a tray of pre cooked sunny side-up eggs or they will cook an omlet station while you wait; also plain rice and french toast, several types of fruit and salad fixings and toast. Meat consisted of cocktail hotdogs and ham "lunchmeat". While it sounds kind of alright, after staying several days, it did become monotonous. Overall, the staff was courteous and did not make a nuisance of themselves and the maid service was very good. Considering the price (505B/night, incl. ABF), I would stay there again.

by Daniel from Chicago, USA

The Sawasdee Sea View is a good hotel for travellers on a tight budget. Rooms are small, but adaquate. Only two complaints: toilet & shower are not separate (be warned) and rooms don`t have phones. But otherwise okay.

The location was very good - close to the beach and close to shops and restaurants. The rooms were spacious, clean and comfortable, although ours smelled strongly of smoke. The breakfast was very ordinary.

Excellent location with easy access to all travel service needed
by Peter Wong from Penang, Malaysia
Jun 4, 2007
Excellent location, within walking distance to the beach and easy access to all expected service such as travel desk, laundry, taxi, convenience shop etc. The front a bit poor in english communication thus I have few hard times to receive good response from them in my inquiries. Another comment is the location is a bit dark during night time, anyway the distance is short to main road which always full of crowd.

Good Location
by David Cheetham from London, UK
Feb 18, 2007
I liked the location which was very near the Beach. Thought I was going to get a balcony but they said you had to pay more and there was no swimming pool at the hotel. The breakfast was cold if you arrived after 9.30! Think it was OK for the price though at Christmas time.

Very close to the beach (2mins walk) close to busy night life of soi 8 & 10, but in a quiet area. No pool at the hotel as it says in the description but there is another hotels pool you can use about 10 mins walk away.

by Simon Baker from UK
May 4, 2006
Good rooms, breakfast poor, good location. Beware when checking out always double check the math, when I checked out the hotel staff asked me for 1900 baht when in fact they owed me 900 baht.

good location handy for taxi´s and beach
by Mike McNALLY from Rugby UK
Dec 14, 2005
This is a budget hotel, no frills and very lady friendly (no extrs cost). I had deluxe room which was large, with full size
bath, breakfast was reasonable with thai and euro food, the beach is 5 minutes from front door easy access to shops and resturants, walking street 5 minutes in baht taxi. Down side- you cannot see the sea from most rooms unless you crane your neck on higher floors there are no safety boxes in rooms but they have then in reception at no charge.

by Wan from Singapore

Hotel location is good, near to the beach, equal walking distance to Big C or walking street. ABF is ok, choice is limited. Don´t ask too much with the price you are paying. Room is big, clean and aircon is cold. Hotel staff are friendly. Will stay there again in the next visit.

Oct 30, 2005
I and 4 mates stayed at this hotel in octorber 2005 for 12 nights. It´s in a good location 5mins from the beach. The rooms where clean. The two problems that we had with this hotel where, 1. It states there is a swimming pool there was no swimming pool. The pool was in another hotel about a mile away. There was free transport too and from. 2. The television not very good receiption i could not get certain channels, but other rooms could. I complained about this but nothing was done. Otherwise this is a good hotel for the price of the room. I will be staying there again .

Good Hotel with near sea
by Adisak from Bangkok, Thailand
Sep 27, 2005
This hotel is close to the pattaya beach. I like it very much because of reasonable rate and excellent services. The room is very clean and more space for convenience. TV is OK and more channel you can select. The breakfast is of American style and Thai style with standard quality. When coming to Pattaya, I will stay in this hotel again.
