It was the first time in Thailand. The hotel was chosen by himself. The first criterion for choosing a hotel was its location. After climbing the net, I stopped at the beginning of Jomtien. I wanted the hotel to be located, so to speak, on the first line from the sea and from it it was easy and quick to get to the center. Chose several suitable hotels. Then I read the reviews. Of course, the reviews are subjective, but guided by the reviews, I rejected several selected hotels. And the last but very important factor is the price. And so, I stopped at Eurostar International (not to be confused with Eurostar Jomtien Beach - they are located nearby).
Let me tell you about the price. From Moscow tour for two 14 nights with breakfast - 57000.
The hotel is located at the very beginning of Jomtien (Soi 1 - the first lane from Jomtien), 100 m from the sea (practically, cross the road), to the center by tuk-tuk at any time 10-15 minutes. Near shops "7 eleven", "Family Mart", a good market with inexpensive fruits. . .

It is a five-story building with 32 rooms in total. Bar, massage parlour, small swimming pool. I won’t say anything about the bar and massage parlor - I didn’t use it.
In the room: air conditioning, TV, refrigerator, safe, and, of course, furniture. Hot water from an instantaneous heater - no problem. The shower is not a cabin, but a curtain. Shampoo, soap. There is only cold water in the sink, how "cold" it can be at a constant temperature of 30 degrees. Sometimes even in the shower with pleasure washed only "cold" water.
The floor in the room is ceramic tiles.
The windows overlook the rooms ending in 1-5 on the lane between the first and second streets of Jomtien. Opposite is some kind of four-story shabby building with garbage around. The lane is quiet, there is almost no transport, and even that one passes very quietly, as there are speed bumps on both sides.
The windows of the rooms ending in 6-9 overlook the wall of the Palm Beach Hotel. Gloomy.
Although, what's the difference, we practically did not curtain the windows. By the way, there are balconies only on the 4th and 5th floors in rooms 1 to 5 (401-405.501-505). Maybe for smokers this is important, I didn’t care.
Air conditioning, TV, refrigerator, safe - all good, worked fine.
Removed daily. Towels are changed every day, linen is also changed, however, I did not pay attention to something with what frequency. Every day they put two bottles of 0.6 of drinking water. Enough. Before leaving, we accumulated six unclaimed bottles.
At the reception, beach towels are free in the basket. You take without any record, and in the evening you throw it into the basket.
The pool is small, but there are few people and therefore it is quite enough. I have never seen more than two people swimming at the same time. Near the pool there are sunbeds, tables, chairs, umbrellas. I didn’t swim myself - it’s a sin to swim in the pool when the sea is nearby.
Yes, there is an elevator.
In short, all this suited me very well, since we only slept at the hotel, and sometimes ran in during the day to change clothes and take a shower.

The hotel is very quiet, for the whole time of our stay we did not hear any noise of parties, did not see any noisy companies.
Contingent: of those whom I saw, I can say that there are not many Russians, most of them are a couple of European pensioners.
Now about the breakfast, which, of course, shocked me after the Egyptian all-inclusive. For breakfast, there are 4 dishes to choose from. A menu with color photos and an inscription in English, Russian and Thai (by the way, it was printed in December last year, that is, it has not changed since then). So:
1. rice soup with meat - something like thick soup or thin porridge in meat broth with pieces of meat;
2. a dish called ". . . sunny up" - 3-4 small pieces of cucumber-tomato-onion, fried small sausage, 2 small fried pieces of ham-ham, fried egg (probably the yolk is "sunny up");
3. see No. 2, but instead of a fried egg - an omelet, that's what is called an "omelet";
4. see No. 3, but the omelette is not just fried, but mixed and it turns out so uneven - the dish is called "struggle".
To this, two toasts, a portion of butter and jam, as well as 3-4 small pieces of watermelon-pineapple.
Coffee (Nescafe instant), tea, cream powder, granulated sugar, orange juice, such as "Yupi", ice and teapots with boiling water are on a separate table - drink as much as you want.
It may not be nicely described by me, but everything is very tasty and fresh. This is not pre-cooked - you sit down at the table, they approach you, poke your finger into the chosen one and start frying it all, you have to wait 5-10 minutes. By the way, if you need to go somewhere on time, it’s better to come for breakfast with a margin of time, Thais are leisurely people...
There are no complaints about the quality, it seemed to me that the volume is small, since I like to eat. But, in principle, it was enough, after this breakfast (and we usually had breakfast around 8), we could easily go to dinner at 4 or 5.

Well, and who will still be missed - you will go to the left - cafes and shops, you will go to the right - cafes, shops and macaques... There are no problems with food here. Yes, and the prices are good.
Breakfast at the hotel from 7 to 11. If you go on an excursion earlier, then tell the reception and they will prepare a dry breakfast for you. I used it once - they gave yogurt, two cupcakes in a package and a jar of cold coffee.
It seems that he wrote everything. Of course, the numbers may differ, but I think not much. I lived in 2 rooms on the 5th and 2nd floor - almost identical. I changed the room, because on arrival they gave me a large bed (I was resting with my daughter), since there were no two beds. They changed it the next day with no problems.
About insects. Sometimes there are small ants, but if the food is removed, then they are not visible.
Nothing dries in the room. I got out of the situation - I hooked the cord from the camera case between the window and the air conditioner, washed it in the evening, everything is dry in the morning - the air conditioner constantly works, everything dries up pretty nicely.
About many hotels they write that they steal. I don't know - everything of value was put away in a safe. The safe is decent in size - about 35x25 and 20 cm high.
The TV set was turned on a couple of times for a short time, there were 70 channels. There are Russian ones, and there are Russian Pattaya ones. But how much and what - was not interested.
The staff is very friendly, like most of the Thais we met during these two weeks.
We liked the hotel and we were all satisfied. I will gladly visit it again.
Damn, I almost forgot. Free Wi-Fi throughout the hotel. I had a netbook with me, so I had news and chat with friends. The password must be asked at the reception. There is also a computer at the reception, you can also use it if you didn’t bring it with you, however, there is a Latin-Thai keyboard. I think it's also free.
