Jomtien Beach Hostel

3.6(93 reviews)

Located on Soi Chom Thian 7, this budget hostel sits within easy walking distance of Jomtien Beach, making it a practical base for travellers looking to explore the calmer, more relaxed side of the Pattaya area without spending heavily on accommodation. The hostel offers dormitory-style rooms equipped with individual lockers, privacy curtains on beds, and air conditioning — features that budget travellers tend to appreciate when sharing a space with others. Experiences reported by guests vary considerably. Some visitors find the hostel clean, well-maintained, and good value for money, particularly praising its convenient location near the beach and surrounding attractions. Others have raised concerns about cramped conditions in larger dorm rooms, unhelpful staff, and the unconventional setup — including a low-key entrance and an unstaffed reception, which can be disorienting for first-time arrivals, especially late at night. Good to know: the entrance is easy to miss, as guests access the property through a small door and proceed to the upper floor. If arriving after hours, having the hostel's contact number on hand is strongly recommended, as there may be no staff visible at reception. Given the mixed feedback online, prospective guests are advised to book through the hostel's official website at jomtienbeachhostel.com and confirm the reservation directly before arrival to avoid any uncertainty.

Visitor Reviews

Coming at night, just enter into a small door and go to the second floor. No one there, no reception table, etc. Then contact the number to make sure this is the right place cause its different from the booking app and google map. One guest appear and said yes this is the right hostel. After few minutes, one guy coming and processing the check in fastly. For the price, the room with 8 beds was amazing, spacious, clean, with bathroom inside and a refrigerator, plus a towel. Cant expect this much facilities. Nearby is a big market for food and many bars. Close to walk to the beach. It's really a good deal

Stayed in the dorm room fir a couple of nights and can't complain about anything, especially not for that good price. Dorm room is very spacious, lockers, curtains on beds for privacy, AC, ... nice common area with couches, TV, fridge. Very nice pool on the 2nd floor to use. And the location is just perfect, couple min walk to the beach, bars all around it - that you cant hear inside the dorms, minutes walk to the bus if you want to go to Pattaya. Definitely would stay again!

The place is clean, comfortable, and well-maintained.The location is excellent—just a short walk from Jomtien Beach and close to many nearby spots. Great value for money, I’d definitely recommend it

Pool Villa Doesn't Mean Expensive
