I chose to stay at Leelawadee Boutique Hotel during my last 3 trips to Patong. The hotel is relatively new or looks relatively new. The rooms are very modern and clean. There are only 30 or so rooms. The staff are very friendly and really take the time to ensure you have a great stay. The restaurant is lovely as well.
The hotel is has a great location. About 15mins walking distance to the southern end of Patong beach and about 5 - 10 min by bike to Bangla. And over the hill by car/bike for 15 - 20 mins to Karon beach.
Their rates are great. I paid 1200 thb in the low season for pool view deluxe high floor room. In the high season, 2200thb for pool view studio. Both have high speed wi-fi access.
Because its is built on the side of a hill, my only issue with the hotel is that it doesnt operate a lift. So it can be quite an exercise to get up to the top floor. Definetily not wheelchair friendly for those that require it.
For cheaper rates book through latestays.com or just take a print of rates displayed to show the reception desk.
Last thing....theres no joiner fee.
Leelawadee Boutique Hotel last minute offers from: 1,550 THB
