this is my first review on this site - ever - and I feel obliged to share my experiences with you. We arrived in the middle of the night and our 4 night booking was not ready with an extra bed so they offered me a single room, which was nice. However, the noise was impossible - all of the... More

Simple rooms, terrible service and poor management!! loud, sound echos all the way up the stairs and the staff tried to charge us 5x more for a local call than the advertised costs on the back of the room doors, glad the locals let us use their mobile (for free!) spoke to manager about getting a refund and he sneared...

I stayed 3 nights at the Amethyst Residence. I had the cheapest room available and it was fine. You get what you pay for for sure. The room had a musty smell but probably due to the fact it was windowless. It was clean and the air conditioned worked well, which was important. The hotel has cable and it was... More

I would have many good things to say about this property from nice quiet location but near the hype of patong, lovely clean rooms with comfortable beds and bath facilities. One prominent displeasure we had was the many mosquitoes in the lobby area which fed on us whenever we were at the lobby checking safe boxes or talking to the... More

Me and my boyfriend stayed at the Amethyst in December 2011 between Christmas and new year. We booked through agoda and paid around £22 a night.  We got off to a rough start as the receptionist firstly told us there was no room available but offered us a room at a nearby hotel. After asking for our money back due... More

Located on a side street within easy walking distance of the beach and nightlife, the Amethyst Residence was a quiet haven in lively Patong. The owner, Gary, provided advice and support on everything from snorkelling sites nearby to travel across the island and over to Phi Phi. Room décor was pleasing and the accommodation comfortable. The only minor drawback was... More

After the many positive reviews on TripAdvisor I was expecting better. I found my room to be dirty, a simple 'rush job' clean with hair in the bathroom, dirty towels, etc. Main issue was broken shower head that could only be hand held, and hard to control water temp (more of general problem in most of Thai hotels). However the... More

I stayed in this hotel for a month from October until November while I was taking a course to teach English. I have absolutely nothing bad to say about this hotel. The people at the desk were very pleasant and helped with absolutely everything that I asked for. The room was clean and a good size. It was not very... More
