Disappointment
First of all, the good aspects are the location and the positive and solution-oriented attitude of the staff at the reception. All other issues need to be addressed by the managers. The facility is old and neglected, not clean, there is a lot of noise and one of the reasons for this noise is the chimney and fan noise coming from the kitchen. The elevator is extremely slow and I think it does not work properly. It can be said that there is no alternative to stairs. In general, there is no tidy and clean appearance. It needs to be renewed, I personally will not stay there again.

November 24
This was essentially a budget hotel passing itself off as 4 star one, very dated and in need of renovation, which was happening during the stay.
Room was on the 4th floor facing the back of the building, don’t expect much of a view.
Room was clean, furniture was in reasonably good condition although showing its age. Aside from the basics, the room included all the mod cons described, WiFi in the room never worked during the stay, spoke to reception who couldn’t get it working so the solution was to connect to a neighbouring rooms WiFi, would have been fine except the WiFi was poor. Paid extra for a room with a balcony but this equated to 6 feet by 2 feet, you could just about get a chair but nothing else. The balcony door was slightly damaged so even when closed and locked it could still be pushed opened, was advised they couldn’t fix it during my stay but showed me a way of forcing it to lock!
Hotel gym was non existent, extensive building working taking place so no exercise machines available, not advised about this prior to the stay.
The swimming pool looked less than desirable and was tiny and the roof terrace area needs renovating.
Hotel had a bar on the roof but always looked to be deserted, didn’t try the restaurant.
Location wise the hotel is perfectly positioned to the city centre and the nightlife. The beach is across the road from the hotel.
Hotel staff were helpful when needed, no complaints.
Overall I would rate this as a 2 star hotel and feel it was misrepresented at the time of booking. Considering the price per night I would not recommend.
Honest review of a basic hotel!
I booked this hotel close to travelling and then read the reviews. At first I thought what have I done as some were pretty appalling.
After staying there I can see why but being very honest what do you want for £18 a night.
Everything was clean and worked, bedsheets, towels all good. I didn’t experience any bad smells like other reviews.
In my opinion it’s not 4 star, 3 at best the pool is non existent and there is no bar or restaurant.
The positives though are right on the beach, 7 Eleven 2 minute walk, plenty of bars, restaurants, food market next door. Walking distance maybe 10 minutes to walking street / Bangla Road.
If you need all the trimmings this is not for you but if you are happy with a basic clean hotel, staff were great - they even went to pharmacy after I ate something that diss agreed.
Ignore the negatives in other reviews and save a few baht it’s only for sleeping and showering anyway!

Avoid if possible
Excellent location in Patong . Beach across the street. Friendly staff. Has elevator. Hotel neglected. Very old . Not the nicest breakfast. If u can try to avoid , do so. Definitely not coming back.
Worst hotel iv been at
If I could give minus (–) 10, I would. Do NOT book this hotel even if you’re desperate! The room smells like sewage coming from the bathroom. Even when they fix it, the stench is back the next day. There were ants and flies in the room—hopefully that was all. The air conditioning sounded like a train crash, and I had to change rooms because they were afraid it might explode, and water had leaked all over my clothes and makeup. They took no responsibility and offered no solutions for the items I lost. They moved me to a room with a bed hard as concrete, from a room where the bed was okay but with clearly very old pillows. I checked out early and said this was unacceptable service. I had to carry all my quickly packed belongings back and forth between these rooms before I finally chose to leave. My job involves traveling from hotel to hotel, and this is by far the worst and most terrible hotel I have ever stayed at.
