Check out this place while it is new! ”

This was our first trip to Phuket and we had a lovely stay at Amber residence. Its a small boutique hotel, so the good price reflects the facilities - no swimming pool etc but why do you need it when the beach is 100m away?! There are all the convenience stores (7 eleven etc) and laundrymats closeby, buses to Phuket town etc and the helpful staff booked us on a day tour to James Bond Island (I absolutely recommend doing this). What I like about the location is it was at a slightly quieter end of Patong beach, but close to lots of action. Good for singles/couples, but probably not ideal for young children. By the way, the breakfast was the best scrambled eggs I've had since living in Asia!

Amber Residence is to our opinion the real optimum for everybody, who plan to spend day-time on the beach, evening-time in bars and clubs and night-time in bed sleeping. Indeed: 1) the hotel is very close to the beach (it is to the north of Patong-beach and sometimes called Kalim-beach), just in a real 3 min to feet distance. The chair lounge costs 100 Baht for the whole day. Simple (but good) thai-cafes around are rather cheap. 2) the whole shopping-area and the paradise night-life of Bang-La Road is in only 15-25 min to feet walking distance. There are plenty of cafes, restaraunts on the way, either via a 'Patong Beach Road', or 'Rat-u-Thit 200 Pee Road'. 3)What we liked at most - no bang noise of discos and clubs during the night! We like to spend our late evening visiting go-go shows or night clubs, but we are fond of sleeping at night in silence and the Amber Residence gave us this possibility. 4) The service of the hotel is very helpful and polite, however only 2 senior managers speak english sufficiently to understand and answer your questions. We recommend Amber Residence to everybody who is looking for simple and romantic vacation with a lot of beach&club activity.

Great Location”

Went to Phuket for a 4D3N getaway and decided to stay at Amber Residence after reading through reviews from the Internet. The staff are friendly, the room was spacious and the american breakfast was delicious. It is very close (walking distance) to Patong Beach and a seafood restaurant that serves good lobsters. Bangla road is around 15-25min walk from the hotel. There is a big shopping mall near Bangla road but the price is not cheap.

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!

Great hotel with good service.”

We stayed in amber residence for 4days and 3nights. This hotel is a boutique hotel and its rather small. However, the rooms are well decorated, clean, comfortable and has free wifi connection. The staff working there are very pleasant and helpful. The location of the hotel is not exactly very near the more happening areas like bangla street so we have to walk a distance to get to the more crowded areas. The breakfast is good. We love the american breakfast.. its simple and delicious. Lastly, the hotel is just a 3 minutes walk to the beach so its very convenient to play/suntan at the beach.

Wonderfully kind people”

when we arrived at the hotel, much to our surprise, there had been a booking error and there wasn't a room available. although i was quite upset to hear this, nai, who takes the utmost care in accomodating guests, served us some coffee and asked us to wait for a bit. we were taken by car to another property of the owner. that evening, while we were out, nai stopped by with extra bottled water as well as some complimentary drinks and snacks. we had new year's eve dinner at amber residence as there was a small party for the guests. it was a very lovely place! i know we'll be back 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.

A Very Good Deal!”

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.

Amber Residence”

At Amber Residence my girlfriend and i were greeted straight away with friendly staff who helped us plan most of our stay in phucket.The concierge was very helpful. The rooms were very clean and looked fairly new, it was a great layout with plenty of space for two. The shower did the job but needed more water pressure apart from that it was a good nights sleep.

Perfect location, great value hotel”

Great value hotel, very near to Patong Beach just 5 min walk with Family Mart and 7Eleven just under the hotel. Plenty of Halal food carts for morning breakfast food to choose from just in front of the hotel. Plenty of Halal restaurants too near Patong Mosque around within 3km. Great location for family with children and good room with good space too espc. for the price we paid. We didnt mind there’s no lift as we just stayed on 1st floor . Exchange, trip bookings, Taxi, bike rentals are easy to find. Recommended for value stay as you can save on the stay and spend on Phuket adventures!

Attentive and personalized service + Clean room”

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.

Great hotel, location, breakfast, price!”

Our stay at the Amber Residence was wonderful! The staff were friendly, check-in and check-out were quick. The breakfast was delicious and included in our room fee - we had a choice of 3 different breakfasts - all 3 were delicious!

Far from the madding crowd”

The hotel is little more than a hole in the wall, and first impressions scared the hell out of me. There is a grand total of five rooms in this hotel, no elevator - two flights of wooden steps to get to the top floors. The hotel's "restaurant" consists of six two-chair tables, and the menu is nothing to write home about. But wait. The hotel is located as far away from the madding Patong crowd as you can get - no drunks and rowdy revelers. If you do need to get to Patong city, a 20 minute walk takes you there, passing some relatively inexpensive local food stalls along the way. The city bus also passes in front of the hotel. Right next door is a 24 hour convenience store that has a ready supply of almost everything - including cold beers The beach is about 2 minutes away from the hotel. There is a quaint restaurant facing the beach, sensibly behind the hotel, and another popular but higher priced one just after the convenience store. Our room was comfortable with bath and shower, microwave oven, mini bar and flat screen tv. There is a currency exchange booth just around the corner, and if you ever need to book an activity, the agency down the road gives good discounts.The hotel staff - I counted five - were very accommodating and friendly. The hotel had a security system which only allowed hotel guests access to the stairs leading to the rooms if they returned late at night. On a scale of 5, a very definite 4.
