Baboona Beachfront Living

Being on the beachfront near Soi 4 made it easy to get to Terminal 21, several sky bars, Art in Paradise, and more. The room was plenty large, and the bed comfortable. I stayed on the backside on the 6th floor. Very quiet even during the evening parties on the beach. Staff were more than accommodating and helped with laundry, renting a motorcycle, and other travel concerns.

I had the advantage of a discounted rate offered by the hotel and a central, top floor room with a balcony looking over the beach, so my review reflects those factors. The location is great, by the beach and far enough away from Walking Street and the other bar/nightclub areas to escape the noise, and also within walking distance of Terminal 21 and numerous restaurants (including Fat Coco next door, which is recommended). The room was comfortable, the staff friendly and the breakfast simple, but decent. Price might be a factor, in comparison to some of the newer, upmarket places not too far away, but I am happy to recommend.

The location of the hotel is perfect. 1 minute walk opposite the beach. All local amenities in short walking distance. The staff were fantastic, from receptionists, security guard and cleaning. There's a western union two shops down and a very handy 7/11 convenience store which is open till the early hours. Believe me you will go to 7/11 they sell absolutely everything and it's not expensive either. The hotel does a morning buffet breakfast which is included in the room price, if you prefer it. There is also a gym, I didn't go to. There's also a library for tourists who prefer a bit of quiet time. Air con was always on which kept the room cool when you are out for a few hours. Definitely get the room with Seaview. It might be more expensive but it's worth it. I wish I could've stayed another 4-5 days more.

Great location right on the beach road, comfy bed and cleanliness
