The hype

D Varee Jomtien Beach, Pattaya
$45-75/ noche
Reserva esto si You want a skyscraper ocean view for a hostel price and don't mind rough-around-the-edges maintenance.
Por qué a la gente le encanta
- Every room has a balcony with a sea view (technically)
- D.I.B Sky Bar on the 38th floor offers legit panoramic sunsets
- Two swimming pools (Ground floor & 5th floor) that are actually swimmable
Resumen rápido: A fading giant that trades on its height and views while letting the furniture and service slowly decay.
Reseñado por @PriyankJain5505871: I stayed in this high-floor suite and the wrap-around balcony was unreal. It felt like I was suspended right over the ocean. Waking up to that view was the highlight of my trip—perfect for escaping the city noise.

Limpieza y Mantenimiento
6.5
- Housekeeping: Inconsistent. Often late in the day (3-4 PM). frequent reports of them taking towels and not replacing them immediately.
- Bathroom hygiene: The weak point. Look for black mold in the silicone sealant and slow-draining tubs.
- Maintenance: Poor. Peeling wallpaper, scuffed laminate floors, and loose outlets are common.
- Linens & towels: Towels are frequently described as 'gray,' 'ragged,' or 'stained.' Sheets are usually clean but worn thin.
- Odors & scents: Non-smoking rooms often have a faint stale smoke smell; AC units can smell musty.

Consejos de Insiders
- ✨
Happy Hour at the D.I.B Sky Bar (38th floor) is usually 6-8 PM—go then for half-price drinks and the sunset.
- ✨
Don't use the hotel laundry service; there are 'wash & fold' shops on the side soi (Soi 13/14) for 40-60 THB/kg.
- ✨
The 'City View' rooms often have zero view; fight for the Ocean View upgrade at check-in if you didn't book it.
