Cozy boutique hotel near walking street

This boutique hotel is steps away from the walking street and 3-5 min from Pattaya beach. It suits our need perfectly. Made-to-order breakfast is great. Staffs are very helpful and friendly. They drop off and pick up from boat station and snorkeling launch. Room may be a bit tight with wet shower/bathroom. Still very clean and cozy.

Pós: Café da manhã farto. Contras: Para casal não indicamos o quarto sem a cama de apoio. Quarto muito pequeno (sem local para deixar mala). Banheiro com o chuveiro na porta entrada virado para a parede e o vaso sanitário (precisa se encaixar em algum canto para molhar).

Mycket nöjd

Extremt bra personal. hjälpsamma och serviceminded, ganska bra rum, lite små men fungerar bra och är frächa, frukosten som ingår är också helt ok, det är nära till apotek, affärer, och restsuranger, det ligger precis intill walking street men man hör inget från nattlivet

Rundum sehr gut. Zimmer sind sehr sauber werden jeden Tag sauber gemacht und sind mit Liebe eingerichtet (entspricht schon fast eher europäischem Standard). Das Frühstück ist auch sehr gut (von Rührei über Müsli und Obst bis hin zu Sandwiches ist alles dabei). Es gibt kostenfreies Wasser und der Besitzer ist eirklich sehr hilfsbereit. Das Hotel liegt in einer Seitenstraße zur Walking Street. Also total zentral und dennoch ruhig!

Basic but great

Not far from Pattaya beach, easy to find - just on a off-road from the main Walking Street. The guy who helped with check-in and most of my stay was great. Good English and really helpful. Helped me to organise my snorkelling tour and transport to the beach when I checked out. Basic room but had everything that you need - hot working shower, cold aircon, a safe and daily cleaning. Breakfast included was good. Free water cooler too.

Zimmer leider sehr klein, man bekommt den Koffer kaum auf, das Bett war viel zu hart. Das Bad ist so klein, dass man alles unter Wasser setzt. Das Team war sehr freundlich, Frühstück war in Ordnung. Lage auch gut, zentral um Dir Ecke der Walking Street, aber nicht zu laut.

Du bor mitt i allt men ändå tillräckligt avskilt från walking street. Bra utgångspunkt om du vill ha nära till allt. Maten i deras egen restaurang var grymt bra! Väldigt fräscht boende!

Great place! Not right on walking street, but extremely close. Good restaurants all around. Complimentary breakfast - which is a full meal (we’re not talking ‘continental’ here, more like: eggs, bacon, toast, sausage, salad and fruit and a drink). The staff were nice and helpful and gave me many suggestions on where to go on the island, and even booked my travel off the island (speed boat, and van to the airport). Great working A/C, and hot water. Did not get one mosquito bite in the room! Nice and quiet atmosphere, and not a loud party hotel. Thanks to Buffalo Thai for making my scuba diving trip calm and relaxing!

Toilet is too small.

The service is good. Owner able to give a lot of suggestion on where to visit and to take photos. Room wise it’s clean and tidy. But the toilet is a bit small even for Asian size. The toilet bowl and the shower is too near to each other. After showered, I do not even have enough space to dry myself without touching the toilet bowl.

We stayed on this beautiful island for 4 nights at Buffalo Thai Cafe. Ben and his staff at delightful , the breakfast excellant although perhaps a small piece of bread with the mixed fruit and veg salad which was fantastic would have helped sustain me through throgh the morning. The room was small but tastefully decorated and had everything we needed, even a sewing repair kit. Buffalo Cafe although it is just off walking street is quiet and very conveniently located. Would definitely recommend staying here

The room looks exactly like the pictures! Everything is clean and everyone is really nice and helpful. Food is great and the location is perfect (close to everything and away from noise). The room is small but you only go there to rest or sleep so it isn’t a problem. I would come back here without a doubt, we loved it!!!!
