Great view from balcony of beach
Lots of good bars and restaurants close by, staff were very helpful
Staff was pleasant and helpful. There is an elevator now which is great. Super views and nice location almost at the end of the beach strip near the base of the hill up to the hillside. The sound however is astonishing from our front ocean facing two bedroom apt. It not one of the upgraded units but had plenty of room.
You could not even tell the windows were closed. It was soooooo loud out front even with ear plugs in. Non stop crazy music in the passing by tuk tuk trucks and super Amplified mufflers 24 hours a day. Our first night there there was a party right in front of our hotel with ridiculously loud music from the tuck tuck driver who was a party goer and about 8 of them that sang at the top of their lungs till 5 :30 in the am. The police drove by as we watched from our deck as we couldn’t sleep and did nothing. Definitely will not be back to that area ever again. Great if ur 20/30 something and just want to party. Not for me
This was the most horrible hotel experience of my life!
Upon checkin I was lectured by an extremely rude hotel manager for not having my booking reference. Despite her having my passport and a printed out booking slip with my details on it right at her counter. My name and details are the same and they have the booking slip and keys ready for me, yet she is lecturing me about why I don’t have the booking reference??
On the first morning of having my room cleaned an invoice was left in my room for “damaged glasses”. There were never any glasses in my room upon checkin. I know this because I had to walk to 7-11 to buy plastic cups in order to have a drink. When I inquired with the hotel manager about this, she called all the cleaning staff to the desk and proceeded to interrogate me over apparent broken glasses in the room. Despite this being a completely wrong and false claim. It was very upsetting. So much so, that I checked out the next day to find alternate accomodation. The hotel manager seemed to find this amusing when I explained why I was leaving early.
I was unable to gain approval from the hotel for any type of refund. So I have lost four nights accommodation and was charged extra for damaged items that never existed in the room.
Pros- It is at a great location. Away from the madness and noise of Bangla street but yet bang on the beach and walkable to the market and the hustle bustle.
7 Eleven just 100 meters away.
Cons - Tiny pool at the entrance, just off the street with no privacy. No elevator and no staff to help so it was a nightmare for us to carry the bags to the 5th floor by ourselves.
No intercom so if you need something you will have to climb down all those stairs and go yourself to the front desk.
The location is prestine. The front desk staff were rock stars, especially the young lady who arranged for a clinic to pick us up at the hotel and drive us to the clinic - my daughter got bit by a monkey, so she needed a rabies shot.
Only thing I would do differently, is probably arrange transportation on my own to and from the airport. It wasn't awful, but it could be improved. The driver, to the airport, was so slow we were less than 5 minutes away from not being about to check in for the flight and we made the booking with the intent to be there 45 minutes prior to check in deadline. We really cut it close with his slow driving and back road route.
The hotel room was nice, small and modern. The receptionist was friendly and helpful. The location was good - right on the beach but was down at the south end somewhat away from the noise and crowds. It was a little noisy still - could hear talking and doors banging all night long. Appreciate the fridge, the complimentary beach bag and beach mats to use. Only bad point - terrible balcony and ‘city view’ was just a wall. No view at all. Still a good choice of place to stay in patong.

Staff excellent but can be a little bit noisy late at night
Lovely apartment and staff very pleasant. Quite hard for for parking .Pool small and outside the building. Lifts worked great and understamd only there for apartments. Very security conscious place. Counted every teaspoon and glass daily.
Due to language barrier check in had a couple miscommunications about the rooms, but there were 9 of us and only one check in computer. Lady at the desk was very patient and accommodating! We got the 2bedroom suite. It was spacious and very clean. Only stayed for 1 night but would definitely come back
Customer service was very bad! Got fined for two things and the reasons were ridiculous! Admin stuff were very rude when it came to trying to solve problems. Wifi connection was not very good. The room I stayed was very poorly lit. My toliet tap was faulty and shower couldn't maintain hot or cold water kept switching while bathing. Didn't have a good experience here after hearing how nice the hotels are in the patong area are
I had a very terrible experience!!!
The staff there were not welcoming everyone was so freaking rude. The rooms were too dim the aircon were leaking! They had no lift we had to climb up and down the stairs for our entire 5 days stay. They even fined us for a missing cup 100 bhat - which was in the room but the cleaner didn’t check properly. Dirty towel due to lip stick 450 bhatt - used to clean my make up(Towels are meant to be dirty right?) lastly , smoking fine 30,000 convert to sg ($1400) - they didn’t caught us smoking or holding the cigg but assume we smoked in the room... after further explanation and with no evidence made us pay 3000 batt if not hold back our passport . they had make our vacation a terrible one!!!! I do not recommend this hotel!!
Great location. Conveniently beside two 24 hours convinence store, ATM and money exchange. Not forgetting the superb Ayatana Massage next door. Komma Bar Thai foods was great. Will definitely book this hotel again.
Great view and amazing price. Quiet area away from the centre. The room was on 5 floor and no complaints with going up these steps everyday for the amazing view from our room. The only downside which was smell (every time we flushed the loo but soon went away) from the toilets which was down to the plumbing rather than cleanliness of the bathroom.

Let me start with the good
Great location, make sure to take sea view room
People are nice but they don’t speak English
You have to leave 1,000 per person as a deposit
(NO Elevator) so get ready to lose some weight
Room is okay, the bed is not that comfortable
Good luck
