Comfort on the BeachFront

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 22 Aug 2012
To start off with we had a horrendous experience staying at the White Palace in Bangkok & we weren't really expecting too much in Pattaya... However we were pleasently surprised to find that Baboona has surpassed all out expectations (Could be the trauma talking tho!)

I'm going to make it easy by listing down the Pros & Cons which might hopefully be helpful to people who are looking to stay here:

Pros:
- Relatively large, airy, well maintained rooms... Very comfy beds
- Great amenities & facilities
- Wonderful Bathrooms - Clean, well maintained with all the basic toiletries
- Professional staff - Very helpful whenever required
- Good Breakfast spread & a great view - Overlooking the ocean
- Right next to the tour operators - If you want to explore the city or do the 3 Island tour(suggested)
- It's located on the Beach strip (No pun intended) so a great choice of restaurants at walking distance including a Hard Rock Hotel
- Very easy to get taxis, to get around

Cons:
- The Strip is noisy & busy (if you know what I mean)

Overall a great experience & I would wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone travelling to Pattaya.
Date of stay: November 2011
Room Tip: We stayed in the rooms which weren't facing the beach, if it's in your budget - I would...
Trip type: Travelled with family

Although small, this hotel endeavors to provide as much service as possible within the limits of its facilities. There is a small gym, although it's on the ground floor and kind of in plain view. There is a nice sitting room next to the gym near the lobby. They provide breakfast with the rooms, and there is security on duty. Overall it's good value for the price point.

I stayed three years ago in the Baboona and was put off by the girly bar next door.
Last june 2012 I walked past her again, the same old aircons still rattle on.
The good news is that ,as of june 12 there is no bar anymore.
The bad news is the building next door is a huge building site. Not sure sure if renovation
or demolition, expect noise.
.

Room tip: try to get a room with higher numbers 204 insted of 201. There will be less noise.

Loved this hotel, we had a room at the back and my sister had one on the side with a huge window from which you could also see the sea, only down side to her room was it got extremely hot in the afternoon.
The rooms were huge with a massive tv and we also had the regular fridge and dvd player, even the shower was pretty impressive.
This hotel is at the top of beach road and there isn't too many places to eat without making a short walk, but you can just hop on the baht bus. The restaurant down stairs is ok and the free breakfast was of a standard thai fair.
This hotel is a great price and they also gave us a discount for booking 2 rooms, the only down side to this hotel is there is no pool, but that is why this hotel is so cheap.

The only bad experience we had was someone climbed onto our balcony and was trying the door around 4am (we had only just got in and had gone to bed so we were awake). My husband chased him off and I think he had the fright of is life as he flew down the fire escape. (good job my husband didn't catch him). Security were pretty good and searched the area and said they would patrol for the rest of the night.
This happens everywhere so really didn't bother us.

On our next visit we will definitely be staying again.

Few steps from the reception and you are at the beach !!

All major happening places are around...though, it needs a bit of a walk but it is worth it !

7 eleven is like next door
3 island tour departing point is just next to the hotel

The staff was very warm and helped us with the directions

On our last day, the guard helped us negotiate in thai with taxi to settle at a reasonable price to reach the bus station

Hotel gives you loads to enjoy in the room...all basic necessities like wwater, coffee maker etc are there in plenty

Highly recommended !!

Room tip: Rooms towards the front have better sea view
