If it were not for the dormitories, this would be a hotel.. been traveling for almost three years and do not remember a hostel with an elevator. That's great if you're carrying a heavy backpack. Private room was very good with excellent amenities such as an excellent comforter blanket and good shower. The manager is very hard working and helpful. About a 5 minute walk to the beach. To get to the famous "Walking Street", you need to take public taxi which cruise the main road. Recommended

The staff are kind and helpful, the room is clean with beautiful beacony . Really enjoy a lot in pattaya with comfortable accommodation. A little comment will be wish to have a locker at the room apart from only the locker with the wardrobe , it will increase the security once the beacony has only a simple Lock.

I recently stayed at Jomtien Hostel and found it to be way more than I expected. First of all the rooms were well decorated and equipped with state of the art air conditioning units which cool the room in about a minute from the time you enter your rooms keycard. The bedding was soft and comfortable and I enjoyed my rooms decoration. The staff was helpful and able to provide in house laundry and room service on request. From the moment I entered Jomtien H, I felt welcomed.

Jomtien Hostel is the nicest hostel i have ever stayed in. Joe was very helpful, nothing was ever to much to ask of him. He even invited me to join in a bbq. The area is very safe and quiet considering how close it is to the beach. Overall i will be returning next time i am in Thailand. 2 thumbs up!

First of all, we only came to Jomtien to receive a package a friend was holding for us as we're traveling for a year. Jomtien is definitely better than Pattaya and has all the services you need. That being said, there are far better beaches in Thailand. As for the hostel, it was a very comfortable place to stay. The Wifi was good and the cleanliness was top notch. It wasn't more than a minute's walk to the beach. Be sure to ask for your key deposit when you leave.

I think all rooms should have air conditioning. It is WAY too hot to have rooms that don't have AC.

dear Hara. in life you have a choice the dorm room is the cheapest option , YOU took the CHEAPEST Backpackers on a tight budget therefore no A/C it is advertised as such. dorm room is 250 PP no Air condition . It is your choice Air condition room is 550 for two ( 100 is just for the Air con) Please do not blame Jomtien hostel for your choice . we did try the Dorm Air con option last year only 1% choose that option (it was at 320 baht) so we discontinued.the aim for the dorm is that you also feel the reality of the life in tropical country so as i say it is all a choice and that does come at a PRICE

Great visit! You wouldn't expect Jomtien to be as nice as it is from the street view but the rooms are massive and the staff is extremely friendly. Some complain it's too far from the beach but we found the location to be ideal - you can see the ocean from the front door, only a 2 minute walk; it's on a quiet side street away from the crazy shops and crazier tourists, but still close enough to join in the madness. I definitely recommend Jomtien Beach over Pattaya Beach for peaceful relaxation.

The staff was super friendly and very helpful and was able to answer questions about the surrounding area. The hostel is very clean. The hostel is at the end of a soi and dark at night, but nothing to worry about.
