A nice place to stay if location and cleanliness aren't a priority

5ive Beachhouse is an affordable accommodation solution if you want to spend time in Jomtiem / Pattaya. However, we found the distance from Pattaya a little tiresome, and catching songtaus to this location can be unreliable. The rooms were only cleaned every third or fourth day for long-stay guests, which was not often enough. 5ive have put effort into the design and furnishings, but we found many, such as doors and electronic equipment, to be in operative. Our room had a cooktop and microwave, but curiously no kitchen sink.

The staff were very friendly, and the establishment had a family operated vibe. We recommend this hotel, only if you go with low expectations.

Good value, helpful staff, nice room, far away from Pattaya centre

AU$48 per night got us the best room in this small hotel. The room wasn't huge but was new and well appointed (excellent LCD tv and sound system) and included a home cooked thai meal each day.
The 2 ladies who run the place are very friendly and helpful and speak pretty good english.
Our taxi driver had a lot of trouble finding the place as it is really small, new and out of the way. The only problem with it was it is a long way away from Pattaya centre which made it quite hard to get back to after a night partying in Walking Street.
But if you're looking for a quiet and relaxing holiday this place would be ideal.
Jomtien beach itself is nice but there are so many russian tourists its not funny. They make the best banana tot along the main drag near the 7 eleven.

Cramped, far from anywhere

I made a last minute booking for this place, and as it said 'Jomtien Beach', I went for it. It was a long drive along the coast on a very busy road, packed with people and restaurants. The sandy beach disappeared, as the tide was in and the water lapped at the walls. not the deck chairs covered beach I imagined.

Our room was on level five, and was very cramped. I felt I had to walk sideways to move around. As I have a very bad knee, clambering up five flights to eat, drink, swim etc was very wearing.

The staff are most helpful and fully understood that I could not stay a second night.

I moved a few km down the road and opposite the sandy beaches I had envisaged.

This guest attempted to post an initial review on Laterooms but it was VOIDED and REMOVED by the Laterooms review team.

Laterooms deemed the guest's review guilty of MISREPRESENTATION regarding 5iVE's location.

This is because the review was based on expectations formed from a factually incorrect google map rather than the correct hotel location displayed in the Laterooms advertisement.

This review subsequently appeared after the guest's Laterooms review was declined.

Fantastic Value

This is a great little place to set yourself in while staying in Jomtien. Although at the far end of town it's also close to a quiet stretch of beach and some nice restaurants. If you want the busy end of town jump on the baht bus and you'll be there in five minutes. The hotel rooms (we had number 4) are spacious, well appointed and have everything you need including a lovely balcony with a sea view. There's also perks in a free daily meal, free water and a couple of complimentary beers to settle you in. I must also mention the superb staff. They work like trojans, always smile and nothing is too much. What lovely people.
I heartily recommend staying here.

Home away from home - Friendly, Clean, Quiet

I found the place on the internet by chance and booked it for a month. I stayed for a month in room F5F, a small room with an ocean view from the balcony by myself.

The staff are terrific - among the most hospitable and friendly people I have met. It's on a quiet soi at the end of Jomtien's beach road. In fact, the entire soi is nice and quiet. There's a great restaurant up the street and a gym.

I was picked up and dropped off at the bus station, which is one among many items unusual for this price range. The rooms are really clean and contrary to the other review, I didn't find any mold in the bathrooms. There were lots of ants though; it may have been from my first day leaving food out but even after a month, they were still present no matter how clean I was.

For this price range, it can't be beat. It's a little far for my tastes but they helped arrange a motorbike (brought to and picked up from the hotel) for an incredible deal. There must be 5 or so rooms, so if you seek a more "homey" and apartment like feel, 5ive should definitely be considered.
