amazing price, decent hotel, decent location
amazing price for what you get, centrally located.
7.7
great hotel considering the price. just know that it is kind of a seedy area covered in messed up massage places, the largest and most famous just a few steps away. you can't walk around without being groped. but if you are aware of that, it is a decent location and the price can't be beat. hotel is nothing fancy, was concerned that they once gave us someone else's room key, so we quickly learned to not leave our key with reception. but very helpful, good wifi, cheap mini bar prices. definitely walk a few minutes to the best food deal in patong, swedish hells kitchen, could not believe their prices considering the food was so good.
Restaurant Tip:
Definitely eat at Swedish Hells Kitchen

Great location, Cheap accomodation
8
The stay in the hotel is fine. But I do not like it that they do not provide toothbrush, toothpaste and water boiler to boil water. The rooms are clean and big enough. The sauna is not working and it is a disappointment as I was looking forward to using it. The pool and jacuzzi including the outdoor view of the resort is beautiful. The staffs are friendly and very willing to help

I liked it but I not everyone agreed
5.3
It was a long time ago so this will be sketchy. Hard to find. Taxis tended to bring us to another hotel with similar name. It was at the edge of the fashionable part of Pa-tong so we experienced the best and worst of the city. 10 - 15 minutes from beach where the water seemed warm but uninviting; dirtyish. Many great restaurants around; spoiled for choice. Really enjoyed the pool and poolside drinks.

Slightly worn-out but still comfortable
Location is very accessible to the well-known shopping centre & nightlife attraction.
8.7
The room was rather worn-out, however it is still a valuable stay..
My sis & I were there this April & got a twin room on the ground floor. Despite the fused light bulbs in the room, it provides the basic comfort us travelers look for..
Pom was very helpful when we needed her assistance in bike rentals & activities to go to..
Given the location of this resort, you're just 5mins away from all shopping districts & night activities..

Great location to Phuket nightlife and restaurants
7.3
This hotel / resort is kind of old but everything is fairly clean , one thing that I didn't like was when the breakfast staff told me my breakfast was not included when it was , I had to get my booking details and show them , before they would let me get breakfast . Rooms are big and has parking on premises but not a lot , air con ok , cleanliness ok , Internet in room , water provided free .
Nightlife Tip:
This hotel is very close to the main shopping and night life area ( Jung Ceylon ) and all the bar area of patong is just a short walk away . Do not get sucked into buying jewelry at the big gem centre it's just a big rip off and highly overpriced . Also do not go in any of the bars with guys out the front saying they have special shows for free , they will charge you over 1000 Thai baht for. 1 drink and will refuse to let you out of the bar until you pay , be very careful of scams in Phuket like this , you do not want to get your self in to problems with these guys , it will always be more than 1 on 1 , more like 5 to 1 .

I originally book this hotel for 14 nights, but only stayed 4 nights. This hotel is ok, but there is a lack of amenities in the room. It has the basics (tv, aircon, refrigerator) plus a hair dryer and that is all. It is also not guest friendly, I was charged 500 baht per a guest per night. The only plus side to this hotel is that it is close to central Patong (Bangla road). After the 4th night I changed hotels to SM Resort, which was much much better.
Nightlife Tip:
If you get a girl from a Go Go bar, just pay for the girl and leave. If you stay, other girls will always hang around you asking you to buy them drinks and the drinks aren't cheap at these places.

A very cozy hotel with a garden
Easy access to the beach, Jungceylon mall, Soi Bangla, and all rooms have a garden view
8.3
This hotel has excellent location - it's a short walk down the soi to the beach, or, if going opposite direction, to Jungceylon shopping mall and Soi Bangla - the center of the nightlife on Phuket. Bangla boxing stadium is also located nearby, if you're into Muay Thai.
But the real gem of this hotel is its courtyard with lush greenerie. The hotel is built in a way that all rooms face inside, making for a beatuful view even in the middle of the city.
Other than that, the room service is barely noticeable yet efficient, and the additional services are almost non-existant. But there's plenty of that out in the town, so you won't be at a loss.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip:
When on Phuket, make sure to pay a visit to Similan Islands.
