The Grass Serviced Suites by At Mind — spacious suites with a kitchen in Central Pattaya
Picture a room in Pattaya that isn't a plain square hotel box, but a suite with a separate living room, a sofa, a small kitchenette with a big fridge and a microwave, and a built-in dining nook — The Grass Serviced Suites by At Mind is a 4-star serviced apartment from the At Mind group, sitting on South Pattaya Road in the Central Pattaya area, Nongprue · What most people talk about is that every room is a suite with a kitchen and a separate living room, which makes it work for both short trips and longer stays of a week or a month · There are 280 rooms in all, plus an outdoor pool, a gym, a sauna, a massage spa and a garden cafe · It opened back in 2016 and was just renovated in 2024, and it's still running today · From around THB 900/night, scored 9.4 from 3,355 reviews on Trip.com
Who The Grass is right for — If we had to sum it up in one line, The Grass Serviced Suites by At Mind is a place for people who want "a spacious room like a private condo" rather than a standard Pattaya hotel room · It's not a beachfront resort where you open the door onto sand, and it's not a small boutique hotel selling quiet · It's a 4-star serviced apartment from the At Mind group where every room is designed as a suite with a separate living room and a built-in kitchenette · It has been open since 2016 and was just renovated in 2024, so most of the rooms still look new and well kept · Real reviews line up on the same point: the people this suits best are families with kids, guests staying several nights, couples who want plenty of space on a modest budget, and people working who want a kitchen to cook for themselves now and then · Another group that says they were impressed is travelers who come to Pattaya regularly and don't want to overpay, but still want full facilities like a pool, a gym and parking · You could call it a place that plays the "usable space per baht" game very well while still keeping its cleanliness and service standards up, a combination you don't find often at this price in Pattaya · As for anyone after a beachside feel where you pull back the curtains to an ocean view, this place may not fit, since the building is in the city, a fair distance back from the beach
Location and getting around — The Grass sits on South Pattaya Road in the Nongprue area, the inner-city zone that Pattaya locals call "Central Pattaya" · Roughly speaking, it's about 2.5 km from Central Pattaya, and you can drive or take a songthaew (red truck) to Pattaya Beach and Walking Street in just a few minutes · A point many reviews praise is that there's a 7-Eleven, local restaurants and a songthaew pickup point right nearby, which makes coming and going easy, so you can get around without your own car · The fact that the building isn't right on the beach actually turns into a plus in one sense, because the surroundings are quieter and more private than the beachfront zone, which is busy all the time · Slightly longer trips are still manageable too, for example Terminal 21 Pattaya is about a 10 min drive, while the Pattaya Floating Market or Nong Nooch Garden mean driving a bit further south · The honest note is that this is not a walk-to-the-beach place, so if you want to wake up early and stroll along the beach right away, this distance means taking a ride, and in the evening traffic on South Pattaya Road is fairly heavy, so it's more comfortable to allow a little extra time for the trip
"The room is much bigger than I expected, with a separate living room, the kids can run around, and a small kitchen for cooking instant noodles and warming milk — for this price in Pattaya, a place like this is hard to find. The only downside is it's not right on the beach, you have to take a songthaew out."
Room types and decor — The Grass has 280 rooms in all, and what sets it apart from a typical hotel is that every room is all-suite, meaning the living space is clearly divided, not an empty square box · The entry-level rooms are the Deluxe King and Deluxe Twin, around 26 sqm, which even as the smallest rooms still have the living zone and the sleeping zone separated by a sliding partition · Step up to family rooms like the Two Bedroom Bunk Bed, around 42 sqm, with a bunk bed for the kids, suited to bigger families or groups of friends · What many reviews praise alike is that every room has a small kitchenette with a big fridge, a microwave, a kettle and a dining nook with basic cookware · The decor is simple modern in warm tones, leaning toward practical use rather than showy luxury · After the 2024 renovation, many rooms got new furniture and fittings, so they look clean and tidy · Most reviews praise that the rooms are very clean, the beds comfortable, and bigger than the price suggests · Every room has a balcony or large window, air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, a safe and a full set of bathroom amenities · A note found in some reviews is that certain rooms on the floors or wings that haven't been renovated yet may be older than the refreshed ones, and there are reports of cigarette smell in some rooms and minor insects at times, which are things you can ask to change rooms or tell housekeeping about
Facilities, the pool and the spa — Even though it's an in-city serviced apartment, The Grass has fairly complete facilities for the price · The highlight is the outdoor pool, which has a shaded area under the building to sit and escape the sun, good for kids to get in and adults to relax · On the wellness side there's a gym with equipment that actually works, plus a sauna for people who want to exercise or unwind after a full day out · There's a massage spa and a hair salon in the building for anyone who wants to pamper themselves without going anywhere · What makes it genuinely convenient in serviced-apartment style is that there's a convenience store/minimart on site, laundry service, free parking and a spacious lobby · On top of that there's free high-speed Wi-Fi everywhere, which many reviews confirm is stable enough to work online · To be honest, the pool here isn't a huge infinity pool like a beachfront resort's, it's a medium-sized pool more for soaking and letting the kids play than for serious lap swimming, but in terms of variety for the price it gives a lot, and it suits people who want a place they'll actually use every day
Food and the cafe — The property has an in-house cafe and restaurant, Le Grass Cafe (sometimes under the name MIND BISTRO), serving Thai food and general dishes in a green garden setting · Breakfast is generally charged separately or chosen as a package, served in the morning from around 6 to 10 AM, and many reviews praise it as tasty with fresh ingredients · But the thing that sets The Grass apart from a typical hotel is that every room has a small kitchen, so many guests choose to buy food from the convenience store or market and cook it themselves in the room, especially long-stay guests · This is the charm of a serviced apartment that helps save a lot on food when you stay several nights · For other meals, the location helps too, because the area has local restaurants and made-to-order shops at reasonable prices within walking distance, and a songthaew ride into the Central Pattaya area or Walking Street brings a whole range of international restaurants · Overall, food at The Grass isn't the reason to come and eat on site primarily, but it's a well-done, flexible extra, with the in-room kitchen being the trump card that makes a long stay much easier on the wallet than a typical hotel
Service — Service is another point that gets steady praise in real reviews · Many staff are mentioned as friendly, helpful, and multilingual, which makes communication easy for international travelers · Help with calling a ride, recommending places to visit, and handling check-in and check-out mostly gets praise · Serviced-apartment touches like room cleaning, laundry service, and lobby staff who keep up the care are points long-stay guests are happy with · But to be fair, some reviews say check-in is sometimes later than the stated 14:00 time, especially when occupancy is high, and a few mention some extra charges that are worth asking about clearly first, such as a deposit or certain service fees · Overall, the service is still considered good and a strength of the property, in keeping with its consistently high cleanliness and service scores
What real reviews say (praise and gripes) — Pulling from Trip.com, Booking.com, Agoda and TripAdvisor, the picture that emerges is fairly consistent · On the praise side: the rooms are very spacious with a clearly separate living room, there's a small kitchen in every room to cook for yourself, the rooms are clean and the beds comfortable, the staff are friendly and multilingual, the central location makes getting a ride easy, there's a pool, a gym and parking, and the price is very good value for the usable space · From the stats across thousands of reviews, the share of positive reviews is very high compared with negative ones · On the gripes side: the most talked-about point is the distance from the beach and Walking Street, which means taking a ride out, since it's not a walk-to-the-beach place · Next is noise from nightlife venues or neighboring shops on some nights that some wings of the building can hear, plus cigarette smell in some rooms, minor insects at times, slow check-in when it's busy, and certain extra charges worth asking about clearly before paying · Most of these gripes are things that can be managed by choosing the right room, asking ahead, and setting the right expectations, rather than big problems that keep people from coming back, which is reflected in the overwhelming number of positive reviews
"Stayed five nights, used the kitchen to cook almost every meal, saved a lot. The staff were lovely and helped call rides the whole time · The only thing was the first night the room had a slight cigarette smell, but once I told them they moved me right away and after that it was all fine."
Price and value — The starting price for a Deluxe room is around THB 900–1,200/night in the normal range, and can climb to about THB 1,500–2,500+ during high season, long weekends or festivals · Family rooms like the Two Bedroom Bunk Bed run from around THB 1,800 depending on size and timing · Compared with 4-star hotels in Pattaya, which are mostly smaller standard rooms with no kitchen, The Grass feels very good value among spacious rooms with a kitchen at an accessible price, especially once you count the usable space you get, the kitchen that saves on food during long stays, the pool, the gym and the free parking · If you're planning to stay several nights, come as a group or bring kids, every baht you spend on the space and the kitchen pays you back in full · But if you're staying just one night to enjoy the nightlife by the beach, the distance to the water might make a beachfront option feel better value in that case
Good to know before you book — A few things help make the stay smoother · One, if room newness matters to you, ask for a room renovated in 2024 when you book or check in, since some wings of the building are still the original rooms · Two, if you're sensitive to cigarette smell, ask for a non-smoking room, and if you get one that smells, you can ask to change right away · Three, ask about the deposit and any extra service charges clearly at check-in so there are no surprises at check-out · Four, if you're planning a long stay, make the most of the in-room kitchen by buying food from the minimart or a nearby market and cooking it yourself, which saves a lot · Five, allow extra travel time in the evening because traffic on South Pattaya Road is heavy, and remember this place means taking a songthaew or driving to the beach, not walking · Six, during high season and long weekends prices climb quickly, so book ahead and compare across several platforms before deciding
Verdict — From all the real reviews, The Grass Serviced Suites by At Mind is the best fit for people who want a spacious room with a kitchen on an accessible budget, with full facilities in the Central Pattaya area · The suites with a separate living room, a kitchenette in every room, the pool, the gym and the central location that makes getting a ride easy make it good value to the point that competitors at the same price offering this much space are hard to find, especially for families and long-stay guests · If you're after a resort feel where you open the door to the sea, or you want to walk to the beach and Walking Street in a few steps, this may not be the answer, and you should consider a beachfront property instead · But for a trip where you want plenty of usable space, privacy and long-term value, along with the attentive service of the At Mind group — The Grass is a choice that meets that need almost completely, and it's the reason it keeps scoring high across thousands of reviews
