The filthy hallway carpets are really unacceptable and the dim lighting gives the feel of a one star property. The rooms are very clean and well furnished but rather uncomfortable. The furniture is solid wood with thin worn cushions making it rather uncomfortable.

Generally very positive stay. Right across from the beach. Staff very helpful. Room was spacious and clean. Property is a bit dated and needs some upgrades but we would definitely stay there again

The facilty are a little old but still well maintained. The services from house keeping, dining room serving to front desk are all fruendly and professional. I booked 3 rooms via hotels.com, cancelled one room 5 days before we arrive, nonrefundable. However when I tried to find out who kept my payment, the resort or hotels.com, the front desk spent 2 days cannot find the answer.

Ageing but still a worthwhile resort
This is not our first time here. Last was pre-Covid. Upon returning nothing has changed much except perhaps a little more tired. The location is perfect for the beach, especially the gay part. The lobby is open, spacious & clean. The pool is a big drawcard. Stunning & large. Breakfast is perfectly acceptable. The staff are all friendly. The rooms are where the issues for some people may lie. The beds are getting tired & some of the sheets need changing. We had holes in ours. The electrics need modernising. There are no usb ports. The bathroom only has a shower over the bath & getting in & out for older folks is problematic. There is also a lingering odour in a number of area - cleaning products designed to mask even greater odours. For the price I think that Avalon represents a reasonable value. Renovation of the bathrooms would make it so much better but, in the meantime, you could do a lot worse.

Location perfect, hotel is beautiful
What a beautiful place to stay - The pool is amazing, the location could not be better. Walk out the back gate, turn left and Baht bus stop is 300m down the road right out front of 7-11 store. Hop on Baht bus here and 10baht will take you into pattaya, mikes mall, central, terminal 21… route runs right along second street. It is tucked away so no rowdy late night parties or bars near by. ( there is a quiet little bar and eatery 200m down the road. Quiet though) Breakfast buffet was nice, I had fresh eggs, bacon on toast and cereal with fresh fruit so I saved on buying lunch every day. Do yourself a favour and book the pool access rooms, from your bed it is about 20 steps and you’re in the pool. Doors block out all noise so no problem. But Don’t go overboard, I upgraded to the larger direct pool access room, the one with a spa bath with windows around it in the picture.. it was the last couple of night, why not splurge.. if I stayed in the other cheaper pool access room I would have given 10/10.. the room is nice! But not worth the extra money per night. The other rooms have concrete walls, the premium room has the ability to become a twin room with the room next door, so sound travels through the doors in the wall into next door. And any food (or other) smells from next door come into your room.. I would definitely stay here again! In the pool access rooms, not the delux one.

Disappointing Stay
Unfortunately due to COVID hotel operating on a skeleton staff No bar or restaurant open Set breakfast menu Instant coffee or tea bag Pool not maintained up to standard water not very clean and as a result best feature of hotel not used which was shame.Had to ask for additional pillows for room and get air conditioning attend to. Hopefully may improve next year when guests return and hotel is fully operational and pool maintained to standard

All good but no gym despite claims
They advertise a gym and have no gym. It's been closed 2 years they said, which is enough time to change their advertising. Otherwise, staff is very friendly and competent and facility is nice. I still give them a low rating though because I chose this hotel for the gym.

Spacious, clean but ageing
We have previously stayed here & enjoyed it but this time proved frustrating. Changed rooms twice. Initially due to bad smell in room and then second time because air conditioning was faulty. Rooms are spacious & clean & breakfast is acceptable. Pool is lovely & access to beach is a great bonus. Good shuttle service to main road. Staff a bit aloof, especially shuttle drivers.

Though this is an older hotel and was relatively small compared with most others in Pattaya, it had everything you need. Great pool, rooms and balconies generous and close to a clean safe beach. The staff were helpful, pleasant and always happy to help. Would happily recommend the Avalon and look forward to staying again.

Like: beach front , classic Thai building and decor, rooms are very spacious with a big balcony facing the pool, with full or partial seaview. Amenities are basically adequate, dental kit on request, direct access to Dongtan Beach, just 10 minutes walk to Pattaya Bangkok Bus terminal. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. Here it feels just like a relaxing vacation resort.

I loved that one can step straight onto Dongtan Beach. The bedrooms are large. Every room has a balcony with table and chairs. Every room overlooks the huge swimming pool in beautiful, tropical surroundings. WiFi is fast and free. The choice of breakfast foods on offer is awful. Plenty of variety but few things anyone can recognize as familiar breakfast fare. God only knows where the cook is from but the foods on offer look inedible. Hence the restaurant was empty for lunch and dinner given the poor standard of the breakfast. However, there are plenty of excellent dining options along the beach in both directions, a short walk away, my favorites being the Rabbit Resort to the right out the gate or the Pirate Bar to the left.

The complex is old and extremely well cared for. Rooms are large and well maintained. Breakfasts were adequate, agood mix of Asian and European but not over the top. Location is brilliant and is very quiet. Only issue is the reservation of pool side lay lows. People throw a towel over the chair and it stays there whilst they are elsewhere.

Fantastic location, wonderful pool, breakfast very good and open until 10.30am. Rooms spacious, clean and quiet. If you prefer a day on the beach, it’s basically a step out of the gate on to a beautiful beach with plenty of sun beds for hire. There isn’t really a bar of note in the hotel,although drinks are available , but with plenty of bars a short walk away, this isn’t really a problem....highly recommend!

Lovely hotel with character
This hotel was lovely big comfortable bed and large bedroom and bathroom with bath and shower. Private balcony overlooking the pool. The Poole was large and clean in nice surroundings directly opposite the beach. The road in front is very quiet as only closed to public traffic. The beach was not for us as the sea was very dirty.

Potential was there but....
The room was lovely. Public areas very comfortable. Pool and deck were in poor repair. Tiles were missing in the pool and a lot of the deck was rotting. Pool sanitation was poor. Parents were playing with small babies in pool and no diapers! Opportunity for roto virus or Noro virus was very high. Standards should be raised. Staff were a little reserved, could have been friendlier.

Good location and beautiful resort
The room was a nice size, big enough to spread out. I liked having a refrigerator so I could store my coffee creamer. The breakfast was amazing with its wide selection and quality food. The location was good for finding other restaurants and activities within walking distance. Internet connection was good. I loved the pool since it was long enough for doing laps (approx. 25 meters) but I had to swim before 10am to not get in the way of others enjoying the pool.

Gem of a beach hotel
The first impression was excellent in all aspects. Nice swimming pool; Just on the beach. Some minor drawbacks observed are - bath tub hot water alternating from hot to cold every few seconds, the housekeeping staff cannot understand English, the hotel doesn’t provide shaving or dental kits. Though a bit inside from the main road accessability is easy and we had our own car and so it didn’t matter. Shoe shine or ironing board are not available though hotel might have decided that those are not required for a beach holiday resort. Overall very good.
