Nonze Hostel in Pattaya

Review for Nonze Hostel Pattaya – Look Elsewhere for a Comfortable Stay

Let me be very clear: this is not a hostel, it’s a paid jail. If I had known what I was walking into, I wouldn’t have booked this place, not even in my worst dreams or tightest budget situations.

The only positive aspect of Nonze Hostel is its location just 100 meters from the beach. Beyond that, my experience was overwhelmingly disappointing. Here’s what potential guests should know before booking:
1. Unrealistic Noise Restrictions
This hostel enforces an unreasonably strict silence policy. You are expected not to talk or even speak at normal volume, which is absurd for a place that markets itself as a hostel.
2. Insecure Storage and Poor Space Design
The personal cabinet/bed area has no proper locking system. The staff simply point to CCTV as their security measure. You can't safely store your luggage, and if you attempt to place it in the cabinet, there’s no space left for you to sleep.
3. Unhelpful and Uncooperative Staff
The staff are extremely unresponsive and unwilling to assist. Even basic queries or requests are met with indifference.
4. No Kitchen Facilities
This hostel does not provide a kitchen or any communal cooking area. Without this facility, it hardly qualifies as a proper hostel.
5. Cramped and Claustrophobic Sleeping Pods
The so-called cabinet or sleeping pod resembles a small prison cell cramped, uncomfortable, and poorly ventilated. I’ll be attaching photos to give you a clear idea.
In conclusion, if you’re looking for a sociable, secure, and comfortable stay in Pattaya, I strongly recommend looking elsewhere. The beach access alone is not worth compromising your comfort and peace of mind.

No matter how tight your budget is, comfort and convenience at the end of the day matter. Unfortunately, this place fails spectacularly on that front, offering only a long list of rules and a frustrating stay.
Save yourself the regret, book anywhere else.
