Guest Reviews
- Luiz Gabriel (7/5): -
- Alessandro (8/5): you have what you pay - location high music early in the morning when the people sleep. the owner never say hello, unfriendly like almost everywhere
- Marius.Cristian (10/5): 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 first unpleasant part I encountered after I made the reservation: through the booking messaging I was informed that for check-in after 6:00PM a fee of 100thb must be paid because someone has to go to the hostel to receive them. When I got there and saw that they were no longer the same owners I knew and I thought I would do them a favor if I told them that they set check-in until 23:00, but I am there until 6pm, the receptionist gave me to understand that it is not my job, someone can come if necessary after 6pm for 100thb. I studied the reviews, I see that many said that they managed to contact them with difficulty, but I did not read that they paid. I think they were told "go to bed X in room Y" and people were happy that they did not pay the additional 100thb. I think I can understand why this hostel dropped very quickly from almost a 9 to its current rating after changing owners. It seems like a certain neglect: they don't put water in the dispenser anymore, the fridge smells (I know I put a bottle of water in, but I took it out right after). I'm not sure if they used to provide towels, but now they definitely charge for them. The late check-in part, the lack of a locker key when the receptionists aren't around to collect the deposit fee for it, creating a feeling of insecurity when anyone can access the rooms, combined with the cleanliness of the bathroom, the additional costs related to accessibility (it's slightly isolated, maybe the direct distance may seem short to some access points, but the roads are winding up and down a hill, and the Songthaews don't go nearby) make the latest reviews most likely somewhere between a 6 and a 7. But I was satisfied, even with these inconveniences.

- Klara (2/5): Ich habe im Friends Station Hostel in Pattaya übernachtet und war wirklich enttäuscht. Das Hostel war extrem dreckig, di - sandige Bette klebriger Boden Tiere in den Stühlen insgesamt dreckig keine Kaution zurückbekommen, da Rezeption während den Öffnungszeiten nicht erreichbar
- Jack (10/5): -
- Jack (10/5): - 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 honestly nothing- it was great all around
- chitchaba (7/5): -

- vincent (10/5): - staff was very friendly, location was perfect right next to the beach, rooms were cozy and they had the best coffee ive had in thailand
- Hannah (1/5): Horrible - It is very close to the beach This hostel was horrid for me, it made me feel incredibly unsafe. Nobody meets you if you have a late check in, just messages on WhatsApp. The hostel is always open, no locks or codes, and the hostel bedroom door also does not lock.

- MELANIE (6/5): Bon emplacement et ambiance - Le quartier pres de la colline , l accueil. Le menage n est pas fait dans les douches (moisissures, cheveux), pas de shampoings ou savons mis a disposition, le sol de la chambre avait des poussieres, taches et de la poussiere sur luminaires et le tapis n avait pas ete nettoye (je pense qu il n ont pas d aspirateur).visiblement le menage n est pas fait quotidiennement.

- Nicola (6/5): Private bedroom that had lots of space. Quiet but the bathrooms were not the cleanest. - The bed was so comfortable, the room was spacious, it was quiet and in a good location. The staff were friendly. I don’t think the bathrooms had been cleaned since I’d stayed there earlier in the year.

- Ramesh V. Arumugam (9/5): Amazing - Location is super convenient. All I needed was within walking distance. Staffs were great and atmosphere was what I needed at this moment. Definitely will come again on my next trip to Thailand. Price is very reasonable I didn't have anything to complain
- Kamil (7/5): Naja! - Die Zimmer sind gut klimatisiert,dunkel und die Betten sehr bequem.Es gibt Schließfächer.Nächster Strand gleich gegenüber. Sieht bei Booking schöner aus.Schon Sehr abgenutzt das Hostel und die Sanitäranlagen schon sehr dreckig gegen Nachmittag/Abends bis dann am Morgen die Putzfrau kommt.Man muss froh sein wenn eine Toilette mal vernünftig funktioniert oder mal ein Tisch im Café oder der Terrasse abgewischt wird.

- caroline (3/5): Je ne recommande pas , salle de bain très très sale ,2 sanitaire sur 4 utilisable , et les autres clients n’ont aucun re - Personnel agréable et sympathique. Sanitaires sales , de l’eau partout sur les toilettes car les douches sont au dessus des toilettes ( pq trempe ) lunettes des toilettes manquantes, robinet , joints porte de douche n’ont pas été nettoyé du séjour. Nous étions en chambre double Première nuit pas de souci , la deuxième nuit a 3 h du matin une personne essaye de rentrer 3 fois dans la chambre à 15 minutes d’intervalle , puis a 7 h du matin musique à fond avec les grosses basses pendant 35 minutes d’intervalle. L’hôtel est proche d’une jolie plage , quartier dynamique mais à 30 minutes à pied mini du centre ville
- stephen (2/5): Was pretty bad , I’m an older guy who’s has stayed in many places this was really the pits - Nothing at all ,when I entered I thought no , and almost checked out before putting my bag down Everything , the price for a vip room , which was like a prison cell , no safe in the room . The shower room had no soap and the floor was a pond , the toilets were awful . The room doesn’t have a toilet inside .
- Guest (8/5): Nettes kleines Hostel, mit hervorragenden Americano, das Service ist leider etwas Mau. - Super Lage, nicht weit vom Strand eher ruhig gelegen. Leider gab es keinen kostenlosen Kaffee oder sonstige Getränke.

- Mehedi (9/5): It a great place to relax. -
- Rolandas (10/5): Exceptional - very nice friendly place. very friendly people, maybe its because of festival, but i sad what stay just one day. very calm location. want come back again
- Ivan (9/5): Superb - Definitely worth it, however, toilets/bathrooms are used by many people and the hygiene is sometimes not what to be expected
- Yang (3/5): If you want to live in the mountains - If you are willing to live on the hill in Pattaya, then you can choose this hotel. I really don't know if the comments saying that this hotel has a good location are because of something wrong with their eyes. This hotel is located on the hill of Pattaya Park. Pattaya's 10 baht songthaews won't reach here, so if you choose this hotel, you either rent a motorbike in Pattaya, or you have a car in Pattaya, otherwise you choose this hotel, it's really indescribable, because it's on the hill in Pattaya, so if you go to Pattaya's Walking Street, Central Beach, Central Shopping Mall, you either choose to walk from the hill to the bottom of the hill, or choose to take a motorbike for 50 baht. Yes, the room can see the sea, but it's on the hill, it's not convenient to go anywhere, it's a fact, oh, I forgot, the Chinese only cheat the Chinese wherever they go. This youth hostel is in the form of a cafe. There is a cafe downstairs where you can drink coffee and eat. You will not get a room card when you check in, so please note that the room is on the 3rd floor and there is no elevator. The shower space is ok and the bed is big and comfortable. But the second thing that made me feel unhappy was that after I washed my clothes and planned to dry them on the balcony of the room, another European old lady in the room actually stopped me from doing so. The European old lady might have thought that the balcony belonged to her and was not happy anyway.
- Stephen (7/5): Good - Very nice modern hostle, good food and nice layout in the rooms The location provided on booking.com is incorrect, I went there only to talk to a local and find that it was in fact a 10-minute walk away from the location provided
- Gemma (9/5): Very relaxing with a good vibe - Location was good and staff were very friendly and accommodating.
- Anup (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing place Great to chill Perfect for solo travellers
- Kabir (10/5): Very pleasant, comfortable and positve experience! - Fantastic dormitry, I stayed in a 4-bed mixed dorm. Very hygenic facilities (dorm, bathrooms, common areas) Great breakfast service, and very helpful and friendly staff at the hostel too! Would for sure stay there again, if i come back to Pattaya.
- Austr (10/5): Good, worth the money. - Great, good staff. Its good, just a bit far from the beach but its an underrated area in itself.
- Nicola (10/5): Good value for money, quirky vibe and good location. - Lovely and quirky decor. Good food and nice quieter location of Pattaya. The staff were friendly and helpful. The shower layout was a bit strange but ok. The mattress had a dip in it but I had been spoilt with my previous stays.

- Milen (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely stay, clean rooms and hostel. They have great cafe with nice food. Staff was amazing and friendly.
- Sophie (9/5): Superb - Amazing hostel for the price and super friendly staff. My favorite part was the integrated cafe and restaurant, some of the best food I've ever had! It was not crowded at all and the private room was clean and comfy. The staff even assisted me when I had some trouble with my tour pick-up, super nice. The building is super new and clean. They were able to store my luggage. The breakfast is a la carte and DELICIOUS! The bathroom was not stocked up well, I had to go into another bathroom to get shampoo and toilet paper. There was also a window which you weren't able to close completely. You also need to pay a 300 TBH deposit in cash. The room was a bit noisy, a dog was barking the whole night and the walls didn't block anything. There is also no blowdryer. There are super steep stairs without a railing you have to take to get to the rooms and you need to change into (public) slippers every time you go from the lobby to the room.
- Kushagra (9/5): Superb - Amazing property, great location, very courteous staff Washrooms can be more cleaner and regularly cleaned
- Kristina (8/5): Very good -
- Saumay (9/5): Awesome stay! Not near the noisy or crowded area of Pattaya, very calm and nice place! -
- Chiara (8/5): Very good - The guy in the reception prepared me a super cappuccino, really good! It was nice the common area, on the ground floor. It's cool that you can play also PlayStation! I was unlucky that my bed was the only one distroyed 😅, the materass was not good. But anyway I could sleep
