Plaza Huahin

We stayed for two months and really became part of the community. The room, hot water, cleanliness, and location were all fantastic. The staff were warm and welcoming too. It’s a beautiful hostel right by the beach. Best experience :)”

This is a straightforward budget place, so don’t expect luxury. I only stayed one night because I’d set off late on my drive from BKK to Koh Samui. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the basics were there, though there was no food. With such a central location, that wasn’t much of an issue since everything is just a short walk away.

We spent two nights here as a family and paid 1200thb for a ground-floor family room. It was spacious, with a comfortable queen bed, a double bed, and a large wardrobe. The staff were helpful and friendly. The location worked well, close to the main Hua Hin beach and surrounded by bars and restaurants. The pier, where there’s a weekend night market with lots of food to try, is just down the street.

I had a fan room and stayed in January, when nights were around 22 degrees C, so it didn’t get too hot. It’s a comfortable, good-value place, with friendly reception staff and close to tourist attractions. They provide water for two, towels, shower gel and shampoo, a mini fridge, and plenty of clothes hangers. The bathroom is small but good quality, especially the shower head. It was so relaxing I didn’t want to stop showering. American-style breakfast costs extra. I’d recommend staying here.
