Location
Southern Star Resort is strategically located for those who appreciate a more serene setting in Pattaya, offering a quiet retreat while still being relatively central. The resort is situated within walking distance of the iconic Sanctuary of Truth, making it a perfect spot for cultural enthusiasts. Visitors can also easily reach Wong Amat Beach and Bamboo Beach, both about a 10-minute stroll away.

While the immediate vicinity offers both shops and massage parlors, some guests find the area a bit remote from the bustling entertainment district, indicating the location might not satisfy those wanting to be in the heart of city nightlife. However, the resort’s proximity to local transport options makes it convenient to explore wider Pattaya’s attractions with a short tuk-tuk ride.

Rooms at Southern Star are described as clean and spacious, complemented by the presence of a swimming pool and warm, cheerful staff providing all-day coffee and tea, adding to the overall value of the stay. Though slightly off the beaten path, the resort’s surroundings might warrant exploration over a couple of days. For guests prioritizing proximity to tranquil beaches and culturally significant landmarks, Southern Star Resort offers a worthwhile base.

Breakfast
The breakfast experience at Southern Star Resort receives mixed reviews, highlighting its consistency and convenience. Every morning, guests are treated to a freshly prepared breakfast available between 8-10 a.m., which is appreciated not only for its convenience but also for being included in the stay. Traditional offerings including muesli, toast, butter, and jam are featured prominently, providing a modest and nourishing start to the day. There are options for special requests, with attentive staff ready to cater to specific dish preferences promptly.

While some guests appreciated the simplicity and reliability of the breakfast, others found it monotonous and lacking in variety, often describing it as basic or minimalist. Although terms like "neat," "good," and "pretty good" are frequently used, there is a consistent call for more diverse options, especially regarding fruits, cheese, and yogurt. The cost of additional breakfast items—such as a toast and coffee priced separately—was noted by some to be on the higher side.

Overall, Southern Star Resort offers a dependable breakfast that serves as a functional start to the day, complemented by the pleasant ambiance of the pool area. However, the breakfast might not excite those seeking more variety or luxury in their morning meal experience.

Rooms
The Southern Star Resort receives commendation for its clean, well-equipped, and spacious rooms. Guests appreciate the comfortable beds and practical amenities, including mini-fridges, kettles, and tea sets. Many highlight the cozy atmosphere and the large, quiet rooms that offer ample space, often exceeding expectations in size. Some rooms have the added bonus of balconies or pool views, enhancing the overall experience.

However, reviews also mention several areas needing improvement. A few rooms suffer from a musty or unpleasant odor, possibly due to poor ventilation or dampness issues. Instances of outdated furniture and inadequate ventilation in the bathrooms are noted, along with concerns about cleanliness, as some guests encountered dirty air conditioning systems or rooms not being cleaned regularly.

However, not all guests share the same level of comfort, with some describing the mattresses as hard, occasionally even likening them to stone. The budget rooms, in particular, have garnered comments on their firmness. Pillow quality also tends to be hit or miss, with a few guests finding them uncomfortable due to the filling material. Despite these mixed reviews, the bed's cleanliness and room upkeep remain consistently positive.
