About
Pace Residence Pattaya is a budget serviced-apartment hotel just off Soi Buakhao, the busy lane straddling central and South Pattaya that has become the city’s backpacker-and-expat heartland. It stands out from the crowd of cheap guesthouses for one reason: space. Rooms are large studio-style units with a sofa and a fridge, and the block wraps that value in a few nice touches — soundproofed windows, a ground-floor coffee bar and genuinely helpful staff.
The rooms
Expect big, functional studios rather than boutique styling: a sofa set, fridge, kettle, flat-screen TV, air-conditioning and a proper bathroom, many with both a bath and a separate shower. Soundproofed windows are a real plus given the Soi Buakhao location. Décor is a little dated and room sizes vary, so it’s worth confirming the exact room type when you book.
Location & getting there
The location is the selling point. You’re within walking distance of Soi Buakhao, LK Metro, the Buakhao and Made-in-Thailand markets and a huge choice of cheap food and bars. Central Pattaya Beach is a short baht-bus ride down to Beach Road, and Jomtien is a quick Grab away. The address is 420/177 Moo 9; a baht bus along Second Road or Soi Buakhao drops you close.
Good to know
There’s no pool or resort facilities here — this is a place to sleep cheaply in a big room and spend your time out in the town. Being by the nightlife means some noise, so light sleepers should ask for a higher or back room. Free WiFi and free parking are included.

Detailed facts, cautions, facilities & reviews
Full overview
Pace Residence Pattaya is a budget serviced-apartment hotel tucked just off Soi Buakhao, the lively lane that straddles central and South Pattaya and packs in cheap eats, bars and night markets. It pitches itself a notch above a standard guesthouse: rooms here are unusually large studio-style units with a sofa, a fridge, a proper bathroom (bath and separate shower in many) and soundproofed windows to keep the Soi Buakhao buzz outside. There is a ground-floor coffee bar (the property also trades as 'Pace Residence x Coffee Bar'), free WiFi and free parking, and staff whom reviewers repeatedly describe as friendly and helpful. The trade-off for the space and price is age and style: this is a functional, slightly dated block rather than a design hotel, and there is no pool or resort facilities. What you are paying for is location and value — you are within walking distance of Soi Buakhao, LK Metro, the Made-in-Thailand and Buakhao markets and the nightlife, with Central Pattaya Beach a short baht-bus ride away. Nightly rates are among the cheapest for a room of this size in the area, often only a few hundred baht, which is why it rates well for value despite the wear. Book directly or through the usual sites, and confirm the room type, as sizes and fittings vary.
Consider it for
- Budget travellers who want a big room over resort facilities
- Nightlife-focused visitors wanting to be near Soi Buakhao and LK Metro
