Budget Hotels in Pattaya
7 Clean Value Stays
from ฿390, Real Reviews!

The Bedrooms Hostel is a capsule-bed hostel that scores the highest in this article at 9.1 and is the cheapest, from around ฿390 a bed. It's on Beach Road Soi 1 in Central Pattaya, just across the road from Pattaya Beach. What guests mention most is that each wood-lined capsule has its own curtain, reading light and power socket, the shared bathrooms are kept clean, and the staff are friendly. It suits solo travellers and backpackers who want a clean bed in a beachfront spot on a small budget, and there are private double rooms if you'd rather not share a dorm.

Sunshine Hotel & Residences is a central 3-star hotel that trades on its location and its buffet breakfast at a low rate, scoring 8.9 from 614 reviews. It's on Pattaya Soi 8 in the middle of Central Pattaya, about a 5-minute walk to Pattaya Beach and close to Central Festival. What guests mention most is a buffet breakfast that's wider than the price suggests, clean rooms, an outdoor pool, and attentive staff. It's a sensible pick if you want an actual hotel rather than a hostel that's still cheap and walkable to the action.

Hotel J Pattaya is a budget-priced 4-star hotel whose rooms run roomier than the rate, with a swimming pool, scoring 8.8 from 317 reviews. It's a bright, contemporary block on North Pattaya Road near Terminal 21. What guests mention most is spacious, colourfully styled rooms, an outdoor pool with a children's section, and free parking. It costs more than the hostels here, but you get a roomy private room, a pool and a sitting area in the room — a fit for couples or a small family on a budget who still want the full kit.

Nova Gold Hotel is a low-priced 4-star hotel that trades on clean, quiet rooms in a central spot, scoring 8.8 from 244 reviews. It's near Soi 6 and Pattaya Second Road, about a 10–15 minute walk to the beach and Terminal 21. What guests mention most is clean rooms done in brown-and-gold tones with a private balcony, a quiet and good-value feel, and an on-site pool. Worth knowing: it doesn't serve breakfast, but there are plenty of restaurants around it, so eating out is easy and cheaper anyway.

Mike Garden Resort is a budget resort that gives you a garden pool and roomy rooms in the hundreds-of-baht range, scoring 8.6 from 332 reviews. It's in the North Pattaya–Naklua area on Pattaya Third Road, about 0.5 km from the beach. What guests mention most is rooms larger than the average at this price, an outdoor pool with garden grounds, and a breakfast that several reviews rate well. It's an older resort, so the rooms look plainer than a new design hotel, but you get a lot of space and a garden feel that's hard to find on this budget.

Jomtien HiSotel is a low-priced 3-star hotel on the Jomtien side, a 4-minute walk from the beach with a rooftop pool, scoring 8.6 from 708 reviews — the most reviews of any stay in this article. It's on Jomtien Second Road Soi 12, near Jomtien and Dongtan beaches, where the sand is better and quieter than Central Pattaya. What guests mention most is how clean the rooms and bathrooms are, daily linen changes, and a rooftop pool with open views out toward the sea. A good fit if you want a quieter beach with better sand on a budget.

Baywalk Residence is a budget apartment-hotel that sells a rooftop pool with bay views and a near-the-beach location, scoring 8.2 from over 2,000 reviews overall. It's on Beach Road on the South Pattaya side, near Royal Garden Plaza and Bali Hai. What guests mention most is the rooftop pool looking out over Pattaya Bay, roomy apartment-style rooms, and a spot that's a walk from both the beach and the mall. You get more room space than a hotel at the same price, which makes it a fit for a longer stay or a small group.
