The vlogger books a budget stay in Central Pattaya through Agoda for about 278 baht (around $9) while in town for a friend’s birthday.
The hotel, called Sleep Hotel 19th Avenue, is tucked away on Soi 19 near Third Road, an area with local bars, massage shops, laundries, and cheap Thai food stalls. Check-in takes a little while, but the lobby feels open and welcoming with plenty of seating, Wi-Fi, and even a pool table. Although there’s no elevator, the granite stairs, wrought iron railings, and solid wooden doors give it a more upscale feel than expected. The room itself is surprisingly nice for the price, with a large comfortable bed, built-in wardrobe, safety box, recessed lighting, modern TV, cold air-conditioning, fridge, and a central hot water system instead of the usual wall-mounted heater. While the view is limited, the quiet neighborhood allows for one of the best nights’ sleep he’s had in Pattaya.
He suspects the hotel may be connected to the LK Group, explaining the quality finishes. Overall, he considers Sleep Hotel 19th Avenue possibly the nicest room he’s stayed in for under $10, highly recommends it for those seeking great value, and advises checking same-day deals on Agoda or similar sites for the best prices.
