Nonze Hostel

I stayed at this hostel over the weekend, and my experience was less than ideal. It’s unfortunate, because the location and private capsules had potential, but the lack of proper security, poor response from staff, and inadequate amenities overshadowed any positives.

Here are the pros and cons I encountered during my stay:

Pros
- Location: The hostel is conveniently located across the road from the beach, and Central Pattaya is within walking distance. If you enjoy nightlife, Pattaya Walking Street is nearby, and there are plenty of bars and entertainment options. However, be mindful that there are also many prostitutes around the area.
- Private Capsules: The sleeping capsules offer a decent level of privacy, which is a plus if you’re looking for some personal space in a shared dorm setting. Could have the curtain cover the holes on the slide door tho.
- Mattress and blanket is soft and comfy.
- The sea view from my capsule is stunning.

Cons:
- Safety: My biggest issue was safety. I was harassed by an Indian male guest, which led me to check out earlier than planned. When I reported the incident to the receptionist. He dismissed my complaint, saying that because it’s a hostel not a hotel so this kind of things can happen.
- Lack of Support from Reception: I was also told the receptionist would be at the lobby all the time, but when I returned after packing my bags, there was no one there. I was forced to check out on my own. Imagine if something had happened to me or other guests during this time.
- No Female Dorms: There were no dedicated female dorms, which I feel is a must for safety and comfort, especially in a mixed-gender environment.
- Bathroom Facilities: The bathrooms should be separated for more privacy, and the overall cleanliness and organization were lacking.
