Most horrible experience in my whole life”

I hardly write reviews, but here my experience was so bad that I have to. The location is great, but the staff is disgusting. I had to pay a fine (2000 Bath) because I was sweating in my bed. The receptionist told me that my sheets are wet and they can't use them anymore. First I refused to pay because the only thing I did, was to sleep in my apartment. Then the receptionist offered me the chance to speak with the cleaning lady, she asked me if I was with a girl in the room (which I was not) . Afterwards the cleaning lady asked me for 1000 Bath. I didn't pay the cleaning lady, because (as told) I only slept in the room. Finally the receptionist threatened me, she will call the police! I didn't want to get in touch with police in Thailand and decided to pay. Please never go there!

I stayed in Pattaya many times, in hotels, condos and private homes BUT my experience at Baboona Beachfront Living Hotel was by far the BEST. 1. Great location - beach front, in quite North Pattaya, many great restaurants/services in immediate area, quick ride to walking street 2. Staff - very helpful, friendly and respectful 3. Value - great deal, I paid double or more at 2 other hotels that were nowhere close to Baboona's quality and service 4. Great rooms - LCD TV, DVD player, very clean overall, quite at night, good sized rooms, good size shower with strong water pressure 5. Work-out room - private, on the first floor, very clean 6. Meeting room - well designed with large LCD TV, internet and comfortable couches I highly recommend this hotel for its value, location and great overall experience in beautiful Pattaya.

Great Hotel at a Great Price”

Inexpensive, close to the beach, clean, friendly staff

We've stayed at the Baboona Beachfront Living Hotel on several different occasions. It's one of the first places we try to book when we want to visit Pattaya. The beachfront rooms weren't huge, but they were certainly big enough to meet our needs. The rooms are clean, well-kept, and modern. In addition to the usual two bottles of free water, they even include a free can of beer and free juice. There isn't a pool, but with the hotel's close proximity to the beach we weren't concerned. There isn't really anywhere to park, though, so if you're bringing a car that may pose a problem. It might be best to call the front desk ahead of time and see if they can help with parking issues.

Great Locaton, large, clean rooms
Our room lacked a sea view.

Baboona Beachfront Living Hotel in Pattaya was a very nice hotel, with a nice staff, lobby and restaurant. The location on the north side of Pattaya beach was good. It may be worth the extra money to pay for a sea view. Much nicer than the rooms without. The location was convenient to shopping, the beach and the baht bus to walking street. Overall, it was a very good value for the money. Will return.

We've stayed at the Baboona Beachfront Living Hotel several times. We enjoy that it's right across the road from the beach, the staff is attentive and friendly and, overall, the rooms offer great value for the money. Also, there is a well-equipped library right in the hotel where guests can borrow books and DVDs. This is a nice feature that few other hotels have. The only unfortunate thing was that the beach was terribly dirty this time. That's not the fault of the hotel, but it's something to take into consideration for anyone who is interested in swimming.

Highly satisfied in my 2 days stay in Baboona Hotel, Pattaya. It's located on the prime area of beach road. Good restaurants around the hotel including hotels own. Hotel is relatively calm in respect of Pattaya night life, suitable for traveler want some quiet time during holidays. Hotel interior decorations are amazing, gives a special feelings in your mind. Big beds and good room amenities. Excellent big sea view balcony overlooking the Pattaya beach road but take high floor to have clear view. Good Thai & western cuisines are available in the hotel restaurant. Good Spa arrangements are also available in the Hotel itself with competitive rates.

Nice hotel at a very good location”

Clean and modern room, good location, nice seaview and a good size balcony

Had a short 2 night but good stay at Baboona. Was the first time I stayed here. What I like about this hotel is that it is not a massive size tourist hotel but a smaller size boutique style hotel. The atmosphere is more relaxed here and the area around the hotel is more quiet at night. It is located directly opposite of the beach at the North beach road and around 20 minutes by foot to the walking street. Room was spacious and clean (you have to book the 5th or 6th floor seaview deluxe though). Bed was comfortable, airco working well, flat screen tv with many international channels, decent bathroom with a well working rain shower and hand shower. My room had a DVD player but my friend's room had a mini sound system as well. The rooms are fairly modern in design. You get daily one beer, bottled water, a coke and a milk free from the mini bar which is a good touch. Breakfast selection is not big but all eggs, bacon and sausage are all freshly made to order with additional Danish pastry, fresh juices, fruits, cereals and coffee being offered. Overall an ok breakfast though. Staff is in general friendly and helpful, there is free internet in the lobby and free wifi in the room. The small lobby is cozy with sofas and there is a library relax room as well and a small terrace at the front of the entrance. Overall I had a very pleasant stay and if I return to Pattaya I will definitely stay at Baboona again. I can recommend it highly.

Clean and value for money”

Clean, spacious room, satellite channels, and fast wireless connection, nice library and lounge area
Exterior of the hotel is very old, bathroom is relatively worn out (old tiles) but clean

When we (my sister and I) first arrived in Baboona, I was surprised that the exterior looked like something from the 60s or 70s. But they have done up the interior nicely, there was a spacious library cum lounge area, with a computer and internet connection. The wireless in the room was fantastic, I could download stuff on my iphone with no hitch; loved that! Now, I didnt realize that Baboona standard was clean until I had to move to another hotel (could not go to BKK due to the crackdown) so had to stayed 2 more nights in Pattaya but Baboona was full. So the comparison with the other hotel was stark. That's the adage of never judging a book by its cover, hotel V had a swanky exterior, and very good design ideas. Unfortunately, the room smelled of smoke all the time (coming from the other rooms i guess) and the place was not clean and things looked worned out, run down for a new hotel. Wireless was almost non-existent despite hotel saying that it has wireless in rooms. At Baboona, the rooms didnt have any smell at all! The beds were comfortable and I slept very well there. Breakfast was ok, and though the staff did not go out of their way to make you feel welcome, it's value for the money. On another note, it will be my first and last trip ever to Pattaya. The beach is not great - no where compared to Phuket (I knew that but we were planning to go BKK and its proximity to BKK was big plus). And it's really not enjoyable for female travellers without male companions; there are so many men travelling in groups, or alone there (some with escorts, some without), and I have been approached by these foreign men on the beach, at the malls and in the elevator of the second hotel ! Becuz I am Asian and I am tan... If you are a group of girls travelling, give Pattaya a miss, you will not miss anything.

Breakfast is standard and unchanging which can become tiresome for stays longer than one or two nights***no “sprayer” beside the toilet which isolates patrons accustomed to Asian standards

This was the 3rd time my wife and I have stayed at the Bamboona. We live in Bangkok and travel to Pattaya relatively frequently and have made the Bamboona our new “first choice” when choosing hotels. It’s stylish and right across the road from the beach. The staff is professional and friendly, and there is complimentary WiFi in the rooms. The shower is quite nice and we enjoy the DVD player in the room, considering we’re not taking part in the more wild Pattaya nightlife. However, we continue to be disappointed with the lack of sprayer beside the toilet. We understand that the hotel caters mainly to foreign tourists who only use toilet paper, but to ostracize Asian travellers (and foreigners that are accustomed to Asian living) is unfortunate. The breakfast is standard, but some variation in the set menu would be appreciated for those staying more than a couple of nights. Overall, though, we’ll continue to recommend the Bamboona to fellow travellers—we have found it to be really good value for the money.

Pleasant Surprise!”

The hotel has a hip, design-conscious feel. Nice interiors. Seems well thought out, especially the Library. You can tell by the facade as the set-up is more inviting than any of the hotels beside. Seaview is very nice. Location is convenient, just across the beach. Very reasonable prices!
No outdoor shower to wash off sand after a day at the beach. Only one keycard per room. Food choices are limited; breakfast could be better. Bathroom needs more ventilation.

As our first visit to Pattaya, we did not know what to expect from the hotel save for the beachfront location and seaview room. Upon arrival, we immediately had a good feeling about it as the facade and lobby were very well-designed. We loved the Library (very unique) for it's book and DVD choices, as well as the very comfortable set-up. The hotel also offers free use of gym and WIFI, always a good thing! The newly-built spa was already available as well. Design-wise, we loved the colors and modern feel in our room. It was small but very cozy with good lighting. The seaview is incredible especially in the morning where you can see all the boats and parasailers from the balcony. We had a wonderful stay and were treated very nicely by the staff at the front desk. We felt like we got much more than what we paid for, would definitely come back to Baboona. Well done!
