Cute family run business”
Perfect for travellers who dont need the bells and whistles for accomodation. Room was large. Location was very close to main street and patong beach but was also quiet.
Only thing was that reception staff were difficult to find at times as someone was not present at reception at times when we were in reception and wanted to check out.
Would not recommend for travellers who have difficulty with stairs and/or mobilty. No elevator.

Nice and clean hotel”
The location of the hotel which near to Patong beach, the room is clean and the bed is comfortable
There was a problem with my other online booking with the hotel and it was a terrible experience in convincing the hotel staff regarding my booking with the hotel. I have booked 2 rooms with the hotel through agoda, however the hotel only received 1 confirmation from agoda. Despite the problem, our stay was quite convenient. The hotel is located near Patong Beach and near with local restaurants and mini market (7 11).

Attentive and personalized service + Clean room”
Very good service level!
There is no lift, no seaview, but we still enjoyed our stay greatly because of the staffs' friendliness and helpfulness.
We've booked a penthouse for 3 adults through Agoda. The nightly rate was about SGD$90+. My first impression when entering the room was that it does not look as nice as in the pictures. But it is still not bad and importantly is still clean. You can smell that the bedsheet has been sunned well. The balcony faces the road which is an interesting view point for looking at the cars and scooters in Phuket while you have nothing to do.
We can feel the sincerity in their service. We've requested for vegetarian padthai, and the chef can differentiate that vegetarian means no fish sauce as well. The staff also adviced us on how to get around to Phuket town and what taxi fare to pay so that we do not overpay.
It's about 5 minutes walk to patong beach. There's a family mart beside, convenient to get large bottles of drinking water.
Overall a good place to stay if you are looking for sincere service level. Probably you have to give it a miss if you are looking for some luxury stay and can't take the stairs.

A Very Good Deal!”
Near the beach, Friendly Staff, Quiet at night
Amber Residence is a lovely small guest house with very friendly staff!
We arrived the hotel at around 12:30am and the staff was still up and waiting for us, telling us where to eat nearby, provided good smile and excellent service!
Rooms are clean & big, and location is very good, less than 3 mins walk to Kalim beach, and around 20 mins walk to heart of Patong. As it's located some distance from the busiest part of Patong, it's relativly quiet at night so we slept very well every night.

Room, distance to beach
i had a wonderful stay with my husband in amber for 4 nights. the receptionist, nai was very helpful throughout our stay. no view but it only took 2 mins to get to the beach. on the right of the hotel is a wholesale souvenir shop, left is a 24 hr family mart, right across the street is a pharmacy and a laundry shop. you can renta bike from the shop behind the hotel.
everything was very near to us.away from the hustle and bustle but near enough
there's no lift and breakfast was not buffet style. but i love everything else abt it.

nice hotel, clean, staff was very helpful. the location is good as your payment, not too far from the center & the main patong beach
they kept my room the same for 2 days, no one came to clean & change the bed
It's a good value to stay at this hotel, good location, nice rooms & very helpful staffs. I'll be back. However, you might not want to take food here, quite simple & a bit expensive, it's better to find somewhere else for better food & price

It was NOT value for its money!”
The air condition was not cold at all, and it was making so much noise that it affected my sleep every night.
I requested for the staff to either fix the AC or change another room for me. But they didn’t manage to do any of the options.
I requested for extra pillow, once again I was rejected.
Totally not value for the amount I’ve paid for.

Moldy and musty smell but great staff.”
The first room we got, number 45,was on the forth floor walk up. It smelled moldy and musty. The balcony was closed up as an unused, dirty area against the next building being built. We got another room the next day on the second floor, number 23, slihjtlybetter with less moldy odor. The bathroom floor was shiny tiles and slippery when wet that my friend fell down and hurt himself.
Location is great that it is a short walking distance to Patong Beach near the Dolphin Circle. The street in front is so busy with tourist buses and vans that it is so hard to cross over to the other side.
The best part of this hotels the staff who helped carry the bags upstairs, loaned me a knife and plate and also kept our bags until we returned. The rooms also have a sleeping platform with cushion for the third person. There is no room for a rollaway bed so don’t bother booking it. Just book for two and ask for an extra bed sheet for the third.

Excellent location, Clean and Friendly Staff”
Just a five minute walk from Potong Beach means that even after spending a whole day island hopping or zip-lining, you can relax on the beach at night. Not being in the center of the beach market gets you better prices at nearby restaurants and even food-stalls (banana pancakes, fried chicken, mango sticky rice etc.) But this does not mean you are too far away from the action. You can still walk to Bangla Road quite easily. The staff is really friendly and helps visitors to get better deals on all things from food to tours. You can dine, rent bikes, buy gasoline, enjoy street food, book tours and get your laundry done within a 100 meter radius of the residence. A very clean place with trendy decor. Will definitely book at Amber should I visit Phuket again!

Good for short stay”
I found Amber Residence to be adequate for my needs, I was only in Patong for 2 days to catch up with a friend who was staying at another hotel nearby. The room although small, was enough for 1 or 2 people to stay quite comfortably.
For the price paid for the room it was worth the money, specially for such a short stay.
It took around 20 mins to walk to Jungceylon shopping centre which might be a bit far in the hot whether however there are plenty of motorbike taxi's or tuk tuks around too.
