S Lodge Pattaya (formally known as Sabai Lodge)
Excellent location. Situated in the middle of Soi 2, you have easy access to the beach at one end and the buzy city street on the other end with everything you want. Still, very quiet. Staff very nice and always ready to help.Older hotel but very clean. The pools are amazing.
