When I booked the hotel (for the first time) I chose it mainly because of the location. Found it under its former name "sunbeam hotel" on google maps (Eastin management should update this if possible).
I was traveling by car, with family (two small kids) and looked for a reasonably priced "nicer" place with swimming pool and parking lot.
I was not disappointed. Big room with extra bed (clean/new feeling, no view though) , very nice and friendly staff ( good cleaning of the room every day despite the mess my kids made again and again) and we spent an enjoyable week there.
Aircon worked very well (clean smelling air and not noisy) , water pressure fine, low noise level... All the little important things making a difference.
The room rate of just above 2000 thb i would see as fair and reasonable in compare to other hotels in Pattaya, Thailand or SEA.
But ....compared to everything else breakfast was rather disappointing I thought. Here would be room to improve. For instance the congee could be served fresh & hot from kitchen instead of having all the ingredients half cold and separated on the buffet table. Maybe generally, especially during low season, serving a small breakfast selection directly from the kitchen would be a better thing than a mediocre buffet?
Maybe Russian package tour tourists don't mind. I do.

But all together I think Eastin hotel is a very good choice for a family stay so central and would book again - if room rates stay reasonable.

Booked for a 5-night stay in a Grand Superior Room as I wanted a walk-in shower. What a horrible way to find out that the room was in another building. There was nothing in the hotel brochure indicating this. It is a shoe-box room with no windows. Dark, gloomly and dimly lighted. The whole building is dark and deserted. You have to walk outside to the main hotel building for breakfast and other facilities. Paid for an upgraded room and ended in the cheapest room. The reception staff is rude, inflexible and insisted that I have to pay extra for a bigger bathroom. Its a take it or leave it attitude and no refunds. The bathtub is very high and is difficult for anyone who has difficulties climbing in and out. Furthermore, it is even more risky as there is nothing to grab on to when getting in and out.
The other hotel staff are very friendly and helpful. Breakfast is very basic serving the same thing each morning. The hotel is very close to the beach and the Central Festival Shopping centre.
I would not stay or recommend as there are other hotels with better facilities and more flexible policies and front staff.

Great Place to stay for the price you pay.

Its a 4 star property, recently renovated & rooms in are spacious with nice decor

only Minus- No sea view from most of the rooms.

strategically located on beach road close to Central shopping mall & very nice restaurants/ eateries/ Bars.

Breakfast spread is good & especially the Pastry Shop - I loved TIRAMISU from the chef collection.

there is a spa just outside the hotel which is excellent.
