About UrbanNest Hostel

UrbanNest Hostel is a budget accommodation option situated in a convenient pocket of Pattaya, offering both dormitory and private room options for travelers looking to keep costs down without straying far from the action. The hostel's location is one of its strongest selling points, with the beach accessible just across the road and a 24-hour 7-Eleven reportedly within meters of the entrance. Multiple restaurants, laundry services, and other everyday amenities are also close at hand, making it a practical base for exploring the city.

Dormitory rooms are air-conditioned and fitted with bunk beds, and repeat guests have noted that staff are consistently friendly and accommodating. Private rooms are available at an affordable price point and have been described as clean by recent visitors. The hostel has undergone some recent repainting, so travelers sensitive to paint odors may wish to factor that into their timing. It is worth noting that at least one reviewer reported concerns about cleanliness, specifically regarding insects, so prospective guests should weigh the mixed feedback when deciding.

As with most hostels in this price range, amenities are kept minimal — private rooms do not appear to include in-room kettles or similar extras. Travelers are advised to book in advance during Pattaya's peak tourist season, typically November through February, when affordable accommodation fills quickly. Checking recent reviews before booking is recommended given the varied guest experiences reported.

Such a wonderful place to stay! As a tourist, everything you need is just around the corner. There are two 7-Eleven stores nearby, laundry services, plenty of food options, and the beach is within easy reach. I’ve stayed here in both the dorm and a private room, and both experiences were great. I’m genuinely happy with the place and the people. It truly feels welcoming and comfortable. Highly recommended!

The staff was really nice and helpful. We booked a private room, which was affordable and clean. Right down the street are lots of restaurants and on the other side of the road, not even a minute away, is a seven eleven. We loved it there and can only recommend!

One of the most terrible hostels. Complete unsanitary conditions. THERE ARE A LOT OF ANTS IN THE BED. The furniture is uncomfortable. The shower cubicle is old. There are ants on the towel. There are ants everywhere.

Tips for Visiting Hotels & Resorts

Compare OTAs and Direct Rates

Always check the hotel's own website after finding a rate on Agoda or Booking.com. Many Thai properties offer a best-rate guarantee or throw in perks like free breakfast when you book direct.

Location Matters More Than Stars

A well-located 3-star hotel often beats a remote 5-star resort. In Bangkok, staying near a BTS or MRT station saves hours; on islands, proximity to the beach you actually want matters most.
