New Star is a 2-star hotel in the middle of Pattaya, set just off Soi Honey a few minutes' walk from Pattaya Beach and the buzz of Walking Street. Guests rate the location an excellent 9.0, with bars, restaurants and shopping malls all within an easy stroll of the front door.
The hotel keeps things simple and central. A 24-hour front desk handles arrivals at any hour, and luggage storage makes early check-outs easy. Every room is air-conditioned and non-smoking, with a private bathroom, a private balcony and terrace, a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, a refrigerator and free Wi-Fi throughout the property.
It is a straightforward base built for exploring on foot rather than a full-service resort. Note there is no on-site parking and no lift, so upper floors are reached by stairs. What you get instead is an unbeatable position in the heart of Pattaya at a modest nightly rate.
New Star keeps its offering simple with a single, well-equipped room type: the Standard Double Room, set up for two guests. Each room is air-conditioned and non-smoking, with a private bathroom, a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, a refrigerator and free Wi-Fi.
What gives the room its character is the outdoor space: a private balcony and terrace looking out over the city, ideal for a coffee before heading down to the beach. Compact at 12 m² and fitted with a single bed, it is a practical, good-value pick for solo travellers or a couple who plan to spend their days out exploring Pattaya rather than in the room.
New Star focuses on the essentials that matter for a central Pattaya stay. Free Wi-Fi reaches every room, and each unit is air-conditioned and non-smoking, with a private balcony and terrace looking over the city. A 24-hour front desk means you can check in whenever you land, and luggage storage covers those gaps before check-in or after check-out.
Inside, rooms come with a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, a refrigerator, a wardrobe and a private bathroom stocked with free toiletries, towels and a hairdryer. Security is well covered too, with CCTV in and around the property, smoke alarms, key-card access and a safety deposit box. Note that parking and a lift are not provided.
New Star sits at 502 Moo 10, T. Nongprue, on Soi Honey in the middle of Pattaya Central, a short block back from Pattaya Beach Road. Guests rate the position an excellent 9.0, with the beach, bars, restaurants and shopping malls all within a few minutes' walk.
The nearest airport is U-Tapao Rayong-Pattaya International, roughly a 35-minute drive to the south; many visitors instead fly into Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi and take a bus or private transfer down, which takes around two hours. Pattaya Bus Terminal and Pattaya Railway Station both sit about 3 km away, a short taxi or songthaew ride to the north-east. Once you are here, the shared songthaews (blue pick-up trucks) loop along the beach for a few baht, so a car is more of a nuisance than a help in this compact, walkable district — handy, since the hotel has no on-site parking. Motorbike-taxis and metered taxis fill in for longer hops.
Pattaya Beach is about 430 metres away, a 6-minute stroll, with its palm-lined promenade and long curve of sand. Walking Street, the city's famous nightlife strip, comes alive after dark at the southern end of the bay, while Central Festival Pattaya Beach mall is a few minutes north for shopping and cinema. Close to the hotel you'll find Ripley's Believe It or Not and the trick-art galleries of Art in Paradise, both good rainy-day options. For a wider view, ride up to the Pattaya Viewpoint on Pratamnak Hill, or head out to the hilltop Big Buddha and, further afield, the striking wooden Sanctuary of Truth. The cool, dry months from November to February are the most comfortable time to visit.
