BM opinions to hotels/guesthouses
I will try to collect all the BM comments to hotels and guesthouses in Patong.
So if you have some information’s to your accommodations please let me know. Perhaps Nicke/Stevem can make a sticky. I have tried to begin a list like below: BM opinions to hotels/guesthouses Andaman Sea Guesthouse http://www.andamanseaguesthouse.net/index.htm Try The Andaman Sea Guesthouse they are a friendly quiet GH opposite Christins (Bonus) they are GF friendly and the rooms are nice (I've stayed there a few times). Ony 5 mins from Bangla, mainly Aussie & Brit customers, no pool but have bar & small restaurant, and a pool table inreception, owner is a friendly canadian guy. (Oh I forgot they have in room safes also) (from Gollum 11.Jan.2006) Baan yin dee http://www.baanyindee.com/index.htm the hotel i stay in is beautiful, a little on the expensive side, but gorgeous,huge rooms, great restaurant. its baan yin dee, up on the hill near the end of patong. they will drive you down to patong. they have no joiner fees and they actually treat my GF very well (From Marc26 17.Aug.2004) i am a regular visitor at baan yin dee, and its magnificent! as long as you are discreet, and not loud, you will have zero problems, and more importantly, they give no attitude whatsoever to any girls. my 1st 4 times ive stayed there, and they were all at least 1 week stays, it was always with the same girl, so they knew her as much as me. this last trip, i butterflyed, had a different girl everynight and never had a problem. the owners and the staff are great. also, a great place to have a nice romatic, classy dinner. if your into that (From Marc26 04.Jan.2006) Ban Yin Dee is very, very gf. They will treat your girls like fully registered guests. One of the best hotels in Patong IMHO, only downsides are high cost and rather remote location (From Gildas 05. Jan.2006) Deevana http://www.deevanapatong.com/index.html I stayed at Deevana 2 years ago four nights.The motel charged me only 300 baht to bring back a girl. You will need tuk-tuk to get back to motel maybe 100 or 200 baht, I forget. Deevana is a nice place and I dont think you'lll have a problem as long as you are a gentleman. Very nice pool and a good restaurant and reasonably priced. I think if you're looking for peace and quiet yet still close to the action with wireless it's a solid choice…... (From “B” 11.Jan.2006) Lamai Inn http://www.phuketdir.com/lamaiinn/ I have stayed at the lamai inn for seven trips now. Would recommened it, had no complaints on any trip. Nice room and very guest friendly place. The Lamai inn has a 7-11 next door so very handy at the end of a long night. The room rates are about the average for most hotel so 100 baht higher or lower not much different. (From Baz 27. Dec.2005) Le Jardin www.phuketdir.com/lejardinbungalows It is on the southern section of Nanai Road and is French owned. Have used it a few times in the past for parties etc.They have a quiet garden area with plunge pool,jacusi and sauna and also some massage girls From Crustasian 327.Dec.2005) Ramburin www.ramaburin.com The Ramaburin resort is very nice - you can view it on www.ramaburin.com. Delux rooms are best (c.THB1800 last we were there, I seem to remember). Safety depo boxes are at reception which is manned 24/7 and they have their own security guard at night. Lovely pool with bar too. Close to beach (3 mins) and c.10 mins walk from Bangla Rd so quite quiet. GF no prob or chg. (From bigalsouth 05. Jan.2006) Victoria Guesthouse http://www.victoria-patong.nu/ A truly guestfriendly place is Victoria Guesthouse Walking distance to Bangla Road and to the beach (100m) Free wireless internet! (From Sunem(owner) 13.Sept.2005) Yorkshire Inn http://www.yorkshireinn.com/ its absoultly fine girl freindly clean rooms one of the best locations in patong decent food changed hands a few moths ago bur not much has changed a great short stay hotel no pool but there is one at the top of the road a big ocean at the bottom of the road so dont think ya will find it a problem having somwhere to chill i think the new owner might have somthing to do with the thai pan spa WHEN it opens so there might be a pool almost onsite hope you enjoy the stay (From Jam 03.Jan.2006) High season..1300 baht per night...room abit small...they charged 50 baht per day for use of safe deposit box...acceptable restaurant on ground floor...no lift..walk up..if you are drunk then it will quite a journey..guest friendly but bathroom is quite small...stayed there from 25 Dec 2005 to 2 Jan 2006 in room no. 1 on first floor!.....and yes a very friendly owner. (From Malaysian 03.Jan.2006) Stayed at the Yorkshire in October. Had the big apartment on the first floor. Outstanding place with 2 TV's, mini kitchen, great ground level view of soi sansabai, conveniently located and a friendly staff. Very pleased and will stay there again. (From Papa John 10. Jan.2006)

I recommend Summer Breeze Hotel on Soi Sansabai. It's a 30 odd room guesthouse located at the end of Soi Bangla, gf friendly so no payments needed to get girls back to your room.
I now live here however this is the only place I, my brother and friends ever stay or stayed at. Good prices, great staff and the owners Bill and Kurt are great guys. I definitely recommend this joint. http://www.summerbreezehotel.com/

List A
I will try to collect all the BM comments to hotels and guesthouses in Patong, Karon and Kata.
So if you have some information’s to your accommodations please let me know. Here also comments in the following link: http://www.pattayapages.com/reviewpost/ I have tried to begin a list like below: BM opinions to hotels/guesthouses Aloha villa http://www.phuket.com/aloha-phuket/ Aloha villa (rat-u-thit), was 2000 a night, 300 joiner fee advertised, rooms very average and TV had about 3 channels so was stuck with CNN for my 20 hour shaking in my bed sessions (From S1MON 08.Jan.2006) Andaman Sea Guesthouse http://www.andamanseaguesthouse.net/index.htm Try The Andaman Sea Guesthouse they are a friendly quiet GH opposite Christins (Bonus) they are GF friendly and the rooms are nice (I've stayed there a few times). Ony 5 mins from Bangla, mainly Aussie & Brit customers, no pool but have bar & small restaurant, and a pool table inreception, owner is a friendly canadian guy. (Oh I forgot they have in room safes also) (from Gollum 11.Jan.2006) Baan yin dee http://www.baanyindee.com/index.htm the hotel i stay in is beautiful, a little on the expensive side, but gorgeous,huge rooms, great restaurant. its baan yin dee, up on the hill near the end of patong. they will drive you down to patong. they have no joiner fees and they actually treat my GF very well (From Marc26 17.Aug.2004) i am a regular visitor at baan yin dee, and its magnificent! as long as you are discreet, and not loud, you will have zero problems, and more importantly, they give no attitude whatsoever to any girls. my 1st 4 times ive stayed there, and they were all at least 1 week stays, it was always with the same girl, so they knew her as much as me. this last trip, i butterflyed, had a different girl everynight and never had a problem. the owners and the staff are great. also, a great place to have a nice romatic, classy dinner. if your into that (From Marc26 04.Jan.2006) Ban Yin Dee is very, very gf. They will treat your girls like fully registered guests. One of the best hotels in Patong IMHO, only downsides are high cost and rather remote location (From Gildas 05. Jan.2006) C C Blooms Hotel / Karon http://www.purpleroofs.com/ccblooms-thai.html CC is a nice place on a bit off location. But as mentioned they do drive you around to Kata and Karon beach, into town for dinner etc. They even give you a phone to call them when you want to be picked up again (I believe till 11 or 12 pm) No Joinerfee and even condoms in the minibar. Location is on the hill just off the outside road in kata (Is actually in Kata and not in Karon. Don't walk back (Hill is really steep) but take tuk tuk ( 100 baht is better then a heart attack) I believe the monthly rate is abouy 25000 baht, but worth it (including great wireless internet alla round the property including room). The breakfast is bit to simple for what they try to be (boutique style small hotel( Altogether a great place with friendly people. I actually think in the evening they are willing to bring you to patong, but not sure about that. (erik1 10. Jan.2006) Deevana http://www.deevanapatong.com/index.html I stayed at Deevana 2 years ago four nights.The motel charged me only 300 baht to bring back a girl. You will need tuk-tuk to get back to motel maybe 100 or 200 baht, I forget. Deevana is a nice place and I dont think you'lll have a problem as long as you are a gentleman. Very nice pool and a good restaurant and reasonably priced. I think if you're looking for peace and quiet yet still close to the action with wireless it's a solid choice…... (From “B” 11.Jan.2006) Expat hotel http://www.phuket.com/expat/ I stayed there in November and some comments. 1) only cold water in the sink. 2) house keeping forgot my towels 2 times in 10 days 3) no window, so it was like being in a cave. good for day sleeping 4) no table an chairs outside my unit, so I was forced to sit by the pool 5) the water heater in the bathroom kept tripping the breaker, so I was never able to take a warm shower. The hotel said it was fixed, but it never was. Really the sh**s, as when the breaker tripped, all the lights went out too. So, out of the shower with soap in your hair, in the dark, standing on a chair dripping wet, resetting the breaker. A) nice location B) great pool C) nice staff D) nice price I don't think I will stay there again, I will try another location. (Lord Farquard 16. jan.2006) I think LF was unlucky with the room.The best feature about the Ex Pat is its pool and garden.The rooms are a bit small but were refurbished last year.If you check their web site I think they still are doing special monthly rates.This works out at just over 300 Baht per day. The quieter rooms are the air con ones on second floor.200 – 230 /Crustasian 16. jan.2006) I've had nothing but good experiences at the Expat. It's a down to earth kind of place, which suits me just fine. If I had problems as mentioned in previous posts though, electric tripping out and such, I would switch hotels. There is not much worse than crappy accommodation for screwing up your trip (steve@thaib 16. Jan.2006 Kaew Kong Mansions Its opposite Christins and Opposite Lamai Hotel on the corner of a small soi... I had no option but to stay here, as i had been searching for 2 hours and this seemed the only place!! B1200 a night for a sh1t hole, it was dirty, the manager/owner was arrogant once he had my money and something i forgot to ask - joiner fee!! Fcuk me! Only B100, but thats not the point... No low budget hotels usually charge a joiner fee. I was really pissed the 1st night i got back to find this out... Do Not Stay There!! (From Alfi 08. Jan.2006) I stay there for 2 nights now in january. It's was most crapy place i ever have stayed. Had a room in 5th floor. Think it's many months since last time some people stayed in the room, it's smells, and it was a lot of stuff laying in the room from the last guest that not had been cleaned up. Dirty bed sheats, same with towels. The personal had realy bad aditude, a little dog run around in the reception and shit on the floor. It's not worth the money. Almost embaressing to bring girls to the room hehe Stay away from this guesthouse/hotel or what u want to call it (djmyst 15. Jan.2006) Thread: http://www.phuket-info.com/forums/ac...tml#post141523 Jintana Hotel http://www.hotels2thailand.com/phuke...tong-Hotel.asp Jintana hotel, i found to be very nice, 1400 baht a night and no joiner fee, looks like a nice pool outside but never made it and also had free breakfast which was very nice on the only day i made it, very very camp receptionist who fancies Bacardi73. (From S1MON 08.Jan.2006) Lamai Inn http://www.phuketdir.com/lamaiinn/ I have stayed at the lamai inn for seven trips now. Would recommened it, had no complaints on any trip. Nice room and very guest friendly place. The Lamai inn has a 7-11 next door so very handy at the end of a long night. The room rates are about the average for most hotel so 100 baht higher or lower not much different. (From Baz 27. Dec.2005) Le Jardin www.phuketdir.com/lejardinbungalows It is on the southern section of Nanai Road and is French owned. Have used it a few times in the past for parties etc.They have a quiet garden area with plunge pool,jacusi and sauna and also some massage girls From Crustasian 327.Dec.2005)

List B
L & S Kamala Bay Village http://www.ls-kamalabay.com/
Had a great stay at L&S. It's on the last hill before you get to Kamala and is run by an Italian man and his Malaysia wife. They had their grand opening only one day before the tsunami hit -- talk about bad luck -- and then opened the place up to about 200 refugees. There are only 10 rooms, they are very large with hot water, cold a/c, satellite TV, etc. A nice open-air restaurant and covered pool table with future plans including a swimming pool, massage parlor, etc. Guests really are made to feel like one of the family --- and they are very accepting if you want to bring back a BG to stay (I picked up one from Let's Go Bar on Soi Eric my very first night and she was given a free breakfast in the morning!). In fact, on New Year's Eve when I came downstairs before my planned trip into Patong, the owner wife had two girls waiting for me to choose from. The one I picked ended up staying in my room with me for the next week (no extra charge). That's what I call room service! Yes, it is a bit removed from the action but they offer motorbike rentals or one of the helpers will take you wherever you want to go for a minimal fee (less than what the motorbike taxis in Kamala or Patong will charge you). Or, just walk up to the road and hail a tuk-tuk (usually 100 Baht into Kamala, 200-300 into Patong depending on your negotiating skills). To return, be prepared to describe the hill and tell the driver it's not actually in Kamala as many drivers aren't familiar with it's location yet (4 km from Patong, 1 km from Kamala). They also got me some very good rates on local tours (paying Thai prices rather than farang prices). I'm already planning my next trip (probably in four or five months from now) but as much as I liked L&S, I'll probably get a place right in Patong next time to save on the tuk-tuk costs (which can add up over time). I may spend a weekend or two at L&S to visit with the owner and get a bit of peace & quiet... (mjochim 16. Jan.2006) Patong Villa http://www.phuket-info.com/forums/ac...lla-worst.html (From WildOne 10. Jan.2006) Ramburin www.ramaburin.com The Ramaburin resort is very nice - you can view it on www.ramaburin.com. Delux rooms are best (c.THB1800 last we were there, I seem to remember). Safety depo boxes are at reception which is manned 24/7 and they have their own security guard at night. Lovely pool with bar too. Close to beach (3 mins) and c.10 mins walk from Bangla Rd so quite quiet. GF no prob or chg. (From bigalsouth 05. Jan.2006) Royal Paradise I stayed there for a week last September. Although it is close to the gay soi I didnt really have that much of a problem. You can go down the other road to get out of the hotel and therefore you bypass the gay soi. Actually closer to bangla road that way. The rooms are OK, great view of phuket, staff good and friendly and there are loads of Japanese tourists there so you may hook up on a little holiday romance there also. (Ashley 16.Jan.2006) I had the privilege of staying at the highest level during one of my trip and the view is great. You can see the entire of patong. The have a great swimming pool and have a good spread for breakfast. The room is spacious and clean and the staffs are friendly. I would recommend it to any BM, the only problem is the price is slightly higher then some other hotel approx. 2700THB for with twin sharing superior room. I have no problems with the gay boys. There are many ways leading to the hotel and you can even avoid those that the rent boys hang out. Infact, i hardly see any If you take a good look at the hotel from the main road, you will notice that its slightly tilted to oneside. Any BM notice this?? (mal140 16.Jan.2006) Summer Breeze Hotel http://www.summerbreezehotel.com/ I recommend Summer Breeze Hotel on Soi Sansabai. It's a 30 odd room guesthouse located at the end of Soi Bangla, gf friendly so no payments needed to get girls back to your room. I now live here however this is the only place I, my brother and friends ever stay or stayed at. Good prices, great staff and the owners Bill and Kurt are great guys. I definitely recommend this joint. (From Dingo´s 13.Jan.2006) Victoria Guesthouse http://www.victoria-patong.nu/ A truly guestfriendly place is Victoria Guesthouse Walking distance to Bangla Road and to the beach (100m) Free wireless internet! (From Sunem(owner) 13.Sept.2005) Yorkshire Inn http://www.yorkshireinn.com/ its absoultly fine girl freindly clean rooms one of the best locations in patong decent food changed hands a few moths ago bur not much has changed a great short stay hotel no pool but there is one at the top of the road a big ocean at the bottom of the road so dont think ya will find it a problem having somwhere to chill i think the new owner might have somthing to do with the thai pan spa WHEN it opens so there might be a pool almost onsite hope you enjoy the stay (From Jam 03.Jan.2006) High season..1300 baht per night...room abit small...they charged 50 baht per day for use of safe deposit box...acceptable restaurant on ground floor...no lift..walk up..if you are drunk then it will quite a journey..guest friendly but bathroom is quite small...stayed there from 25 Dec 2005 to 2 Jan 2006 in room no. 1 on first floor!.....and yes a very friendly owner. (From Malaysian 03.Jan.2006) Stayed at the Yorkshire in October. Had the big apartment on the first floor. Outstanding place with 2 TV's, mini kitchen, great ground level view of soi sansabai, conveniently located and a friendly staff. Very pleased and will stay there again. (From Papa John 10. Jan.2006)

One of the best hotels in Patong IMHO, only downsides are high cost and rather remote location (Gildas 05.

The rooms are small, but adequate. The AC is too bloody cold for my liking. Get a room down the back, as the front ones are too noisy with Soi Lion being just at the entrance. I have no idea how much we paid, as the misses took care of that. A couple of nice friendly Burmese girls running the place. Will be staying there again in March. Its just convenient (Stevem 19. Jan.2006) C C Blooms Hotel / Karon http://www.purpleroofs.com/ccblooms-thai.html CC is a nice place on a bit off location. But as mentioned they do drive you around to Kata and Karon beach, into town for dinner etc. They even give you a phone to call them when you want to be picked up again (I believe till 11 or 12 pm) No Joinerfee and even condoms in the minibar.

I actually think in the evening they are willing to bring you to patong, but not sure about that. (erik1 10. Jan.2006) Deevana http://www.deevanapatong.com/index.html I stayed at Deevana 2 years ago four nights.The motel charged me only 300 baht to bring back a girl. You will need tuk-tuk to get back to motel maybe 100 or 200 baht, I forget. Deevana is a nice place and I dont think you'lll have a problem as long as you are a gentleman. Very nice pool and a good restaurant and reasonably priced. I think if you're looking for peace and quiet yet still close to the action with wireless it's a solid choice…... (“B” 11.Jan.2006) Expat Hotel http://www.phuket.com/expat/ its amazing???????? how some people love a place and some people call it a dump... i stayed at the expat when is first opened years ago, it was still under construction matter of fact..i know the owner (king klong= hash name) and have stayed there many times since then i like it because they make you feel at home and the food,pool,and booze is good there. do they still sell the big bollocks burger at the pool??? it was not too bad.. id give it a 7 out of ten... ps..nobody has mentioned the ghost that hangs out there many girls won't go boom boom there cause of it!!!! (me123 19.Jan.2006) I have stayed at the Expat dozens of times, good points : 1. Location , is within staggering distance of Bangla and next door to Valhalla and Faulty Towers Bar. 2. Swimming pool and garden , nice to sit outside in the afternoon . 3. 24 hour coffee shop for food and beer. 4. Definitely BG friendly. 5. Safe deposit in reception. Available from 07.00 - 23.00. 6. Security guard on duty at entrance overnight , nice guy who has made sure I got to my room OK when p*ssed. Rooms are OK and if there is any problems ,just report them and they will try their best to sort things out. I prefer ground floor rooms as you can sit outside and relax, upper rooms may be quieter . ST66 is staying there at the moment , I think for 2 months. (Faultytowers 17. Jan.2006) ----- Yep, I currently stay at Expat, room 308, have booked it for 3 months, 1dec to 22feb. A VIP fan room is about 1200 baht currently, if you stay long time you can allways get a fair discount. For the price you may find better rooms in Patong, but the location is perfect, only 100 meter from Bangla. My room have both fan and aircond, but normally I only use the fan. In my room everything works perfectly, have had no problems, currently there is a little problem generally about the inhouse movies not being broadcasted to all rooms, but I'm sure they fix that soon - and who go to LOL to look TV. Best of all, no noise late evening, except that I can hear a little bass far away from Galaxy. All BG have to deposit ID card to the guard outside Expat, so he take care of you, so no BG run away with your things. And even better, next door is Faulty Towers Inn (ST66 17. Jan.2006) ----- I stayed there for 8 days in november and i have not got a bad thing to say about the place, the rooms were clean,the food in the coffee shop was excellent, the staff were fantastic,it is very close to al the nightlife, next door to valhalla and fawlty towers, the only slight improvemnet i would make is the swimming pool area is too overgrown with plants and trees the sun could barely get through to the pool area it needs cutting back. (Talbotman 17. Jan.2006) ----- I stayed there in November and some comments. 1) only cold water in the sink. 2) house keeping forgot my towels 2 times in 10 days 3) no window, so it was like being in a cave. good for day sleeping 4) no table an chairs outside my unit, so I was forced to sit by the pool 5) the water heater in the bathroom kept tripping the breaker, so I was never able to take a warm shower. The hotel said it was fixed, but it never was. Really the sh**s, as when the breaker tripped, all the lights went out too. So, out of the shower with soap in your hair, in the dark, standing on a chair dripping wet, resetting the breaker. A) nice location B) great pool C) nice staff D) nice price I don't think I will stay there again, I will try another location. (Lord Farquard 16. jan.2006) ----- I think LF was unlucky with the room. The best feature about the Ex Pat is its pool and garden. The rooms are a bit small but were refurbished last year.If you check their web site I think they still are doing special monthly rates. This works out at just over 300 Baht per day. The quieter rooms are the air con ones on second floor.200 – 230 (Crustasian 16. Jan.2006) ----- I've had nothing but good experiences at the Expat. It's a down to earth kind of place, which suits me just fine. If I had problems as mentioned in previous posts though, electric tripping out and such, I would switch hotels. There is not much worse than crappy accommodation for screwing up your trip (steve@thaib 16. Jan.2006) Jintana Hotel http://www.hotels2thailand.com/phuke...tong-Hotel.asp Jintana hotel, i found to be very nice, 1400 baht a night and no joiner fee, looks like a nice pool outside but never made it and also had free breakfast which was very nice on the only day i made it, very very camp receptionist who fancies Bacardi73.

Hotels (K - R)
Kaew Kong Mansions
Its opposite Christins and Opposite Lamai Hotel on the corner of a small soi... I had no option but to stay here, as i had been searching for 2 hours and this seemed the only place!! B1200 a night for a sh1t hole, it was dirty, the manager/owner was arrogant once he had my money and something i forgot to ask - joiner fee!! Fcuk me! Only B100, but thats not the point... No low budget hotels usually charge a joiner fee. I was really pissed the 1st night i got back to find this out... Do Not Stay There!! (Alfi 08. Jan.2006) ----- I stay there for 2 nights now in january. It's was most crapy place i ever have stayed. Had a room in 5th floor. Think it's many months since last time some people stayed in the room, it's smells, and it was a lot of stuff laying in the room from the last guest that not had been cleaned up. Dirty bed sheats, same with towels. The personal had realy bad aditude, a little dog run around in the reception and shit on the floor. It's not worth the money. Almost embaressing to bring girls to the room hehe Stay away from this guesthouse/hotel or what u want to call it (djmyst 15. Jan.2006) ----- Thread: http://www.phuket-info.com/forums/ac...tml#post141523 Lamai Inn http://www.phuketdir.com/lamaiinn/ I have stayed at the lamai inn for seven trips now. Would recommened it, had no complaints on any trip. Nice room and very guest friendly place. The Lamai inn has a 7-11 next door so very handy at the end of a long night. The room rates are about the average for most hotel so 100 baht higher or lower not much different. (Baz 27. Dec.2005) Le Jardin www.phuketdir.com/lejardinbungalows It is on the southern section of Nanai Road and is French owned. Have used it a few times in the past for parties etc. They have a quiet garden area with plunge pool, jacusi and sauna and also some massage girls (Crustasian 27.Dec.2005) L & S Kamala Bay Village http://www.ls-kamalabay.com/ Had a great stay at L&S. It's on the last hill before you get to Kamala and is run by an Italian man and his Malaysia wife. They had their grand opening only one day before the tsunami hit -- talk about bad luck -- and then opened the place up to about 200 refugees. There are only 10 rooms, they are very large with hot water, cold a/c, satellite TV, etc. A nice open-air restaurant and covered pool table with future plans including a swimming pool, massage parlor, etc. Guests really are made to feel like one of the family --- and they are very accepting if you want to bring back a BG to stay (I picked up one from Let's Go Bar on Soi Eric my very first night and she was given a free breakfast in the morning!). In fact, on New Year's Eve when I came downstairs before my planned trip into Patong, the owner wife had two girls waiting for me to choose from. The one I picked ended up staying in my room with me for the next week (no extra charge). That's what I call room service! Yes, it is a bit removed from the action but they offer motorbike rentals or one of the helpers will take you wherever you want to go for a minimal fee (less than what the motorbike taxis in Kamala or Patong will charge you). Or, just walk up to the road and hail a tuk-tuk (usually 100 Baht into Kamala, 200-300 into Patong depending on your negotiating skills). To return, be prepared to describe the hill and tell the driver it's not actually in Kamala as many drivers aren't familiar with it's location yet (4 km from Patong, 1 km from Kamala). They also got me some very good rates on local tours (paying Thai prices rather than farang prices). I'm already planning my next trip (probably in four or five months from now) but as much as I liked L&S, I'll probably get a place right in Patong next time to save on the tuk-tuk costs (which can add up over time). I may spend a weekend or two at L&S to visit with the owner and get a bit of peace & quiet... (mjochim 16. Jan.2006) Neptuna Hotel http://www.phuket.com/neptuna/ I stayed at the Neptuna Hotel just across from the C & N hotel next to Bangla road. It is a larger room with a nice secluded garden view. It has a pool but not nearly as large as the Expat's There is no joiner fee and the staff is friendly. The only thing that drives me crazy is the shower. The heating unit in my shower went out the last trip and I was too lazy to change rooms again. (Dojoden001 18. Jan.2006) Patong Merlin Hotel http://www.merlinphuket.com/patong/map.html Hi mate, my group of 7 guys stayed at the Patong Merlin Hotel. We had one mate who is a hard core Rock Ape that decided he must exercise and couldn't stop for 10 days. Positives - Great Hotel, Fantastic Food, Gym/Excercise Room, the HUGH numerous pools ARE open all night to those that decide the guards could do with a small tip. Negatives - Not the cheapest hotel, 800b joiner fee, 10+ min walk (sober) to Bangla (tuk tuk ride home) More of a family/couples hotel but we liked the quality, facilities and the POOLS. Enjoy your holiday its a great place (sierradelta 19. Jan.2006 Patong Villa http://www.patongvilla.com/ I have just returned from Patong Villa. On arrival they put me in a standard room and not the superior with pool view which I ordered. They had got me on computer to check out on the 6th and not the 16th. So on the 6th I had to move to a bungalow room, and change a day later to the superior room (The one I had originally booked). I personally believe they may overbook rooms as there will always be one or two ' no shows'. Another downside was the daily ritual of having to walk through the shopping mall to and from the hotel and the usual 'Just one more shirt sir', DVD, suit etc and this was still happening on day 14.Music could also be heard playing until about 5 in the morning. That did not bother me as I was out late anyway. On the plus side, I thought the location was great for beach and bangla and a nice pool. Staff were friendly to me and the room when they got it right was good Would I stay again in Patong Villa.............................YES (glassmanengland 17. Jan.2006) ----- Ive just returned from patong villa. Rooms in block B are superior(ground floor). Room was very good with a large bed (2singles pushed together). Tv and air con. Only downside was the music which was probably coming fromsoi seadragon or some other soi, which was quite loud till about 5 in the morning. (glassmanengland 17.Jan.2006) ----- Thread: http://www.phuket-info.com/forums/ac...lla-worst.html (WildOne 10. Jan.2006) Ramburin www.ramaburin.com The Ramaburin resort is very nice - you can view it on www.ramaburin.com. Delux rooms are best (c.THB1800 last we were there, I seem to remember). Safety depo boxes are at reception which is manned 24/7 and they have their own security guard at night. Lovely pool with bar too. Close to beach (3 mins) and c.10 mins walk from Bangla Rd so quite quiet. GF no prob or chg. (bigalsouth 05. Jan.2006) Royal Paradise http://www.royalparadise.com/ I stayed there for a week last September. Although it is close to the gay soi I didnt really have that much of a problem. You can go down the other road to get out of the hotel and therefore you bypass the gay soi. Actually closer to bangla road that way. The rooms are OK, great view of phuket, staff good and friendly and there are loads of Japanese tourists there so you may hook up on a little holiday romance there also. (Ashley 16.Jan.2006) ----- I had the privilege of staying at the highest level during one of my trip and the view is great. You can see the entire of patong. The have a great swimming pool and have a good spread for breakfast. The room is spacious and clean and the staffs are friendly. I would recommend it to any BM, the only problem is the price is slightly higher then some other hotel approx. 2700THB for with twin sharing superior room. I have no problems with the gay boys. There are many ways leading to the hotel and you can even avoid those that the rent boys hang out. Infact, i hardly see any If you take a good look at the hotel from the main road, you will notice that its slightly tilted to oneside. Any BM notice this?? (mal140 16.Jan.2006)

Hotel (S - Z)
Stoney Monday http://www.hotelthailand.com/phuket/stoneymondayoasis/
I also stayed at a mates hotel called Stoney Monday. Very modern clean rooms with great bathrooms and showers. It has an eatery and a pool table downstairs. The downside is that it has a small pool at the top level with no stairs... Also it is a good mile or so from Bangla road. Not bad if you dont mind taking a 20-40B motorbike taxi. The BM that runs it is named "On Location" an aussie who is hilarious (Dojoden001 18. Jan.2006) Summer Breeze Hotel http://www.summerbreezehotel.com/ I recommend Summer Breeze Hotel on Soi Sansabai. It's a 30 odd room guesthouse located at the end of Soi Bangla, gf friendly so no payments needed to get girls back to your room. I now live here however this is the only place I, my brother and friends ever stay or stayed at. Good prices, great staff and the owners Bill and Kurt are great guys. I definitely recommend this joint. (Dingo´s 13.Jan.2006) Victoria Guesthouse http://www.victoria-patong.nu/ A truly guestfriendly place is Victoria Guesthouse Walking distance to Bangla Road and to the beach (100m) Free wireless internet! (Sunem(owner) 13.Sept.2005) Yorkshire Inn http://www.yorkshireinn.com/ Stayed at the Yorkshire in October. Had the big apartment on the first floor. Outstanding place with 2 TV's, mini kitchen, great ground level view of soi sansabai, conveniently located and a friendly staff. Very pleased and will stay there again. (Papa John 10. Jan.2006) ----- its absoultly fine girl friendly clean rooms one of the best locations in Patong decent food changed hands a few moths ago bur not much has changed a great short stay hotel no pool but there is one at the top of the road a big ocean at the bottom of the road so dont think ya will find it a problem having somewhere to chill i think the new owner might have something to do with the thai pan spa WHEN it opens so there might be a pool almost onsite hope you enjoy the stay (Jam 03.Jan.2006) High season..1300 baht per night...room abit small...they charged 50 baht per day for use of safe deposit box...acceptable restaurant on ground floor...no lift..walk up..if you are drunk then it will quite a journey..guest friendly but bathroom is quite small...stayed there from 25 Dec 2005 to 2 Jan 2006 in room no. 1 on first floor!.....and yes a very friendly owner. (Malaysian 03.Jan.2006)
