I stayed here purely because it was near my friends place and of course, the reviews. I have to say despite the low price, I found the hotel to be much better than anticipated. It was spotless throughout, quiet and the bed was comfortable! My budget could've easily stretched to a high end hotel, but I am glad I stayed... More

First time in Thailand and after 20 days of travelling I wanted a little more than the cheap hotels I had. I booked with them mostly because of the reviews and I got nothing to complaint about. Everething was perfect. They got big and very clean rooms. The hotel is 10 to 15 minutes walking from the beach and Bangla... More

Stayed a couple of nights in this tiny place with my family and was very surprised how clean the room was. Even the toilet seat was spotless and great quality (yes, you start to appreciate these little things after a while in and around Thailand! :-). Remember to keep your doors closed - there can be some hungry mosquitos around.... More

This was a great hotel for a very economical price. Our room was large with a king size bed, tv, safe, great air conditioning and mini fridge. I brought my 10" net book and was able to store in the safe, tight but got it in there. Very friendly people. there is a small pool on the property which is... More

The guesthouse offerred a nice stay with very clean and sizable rooms. The location is off the main strip which I preferred to avoid noise till 5am, but still within 10 to 15 min walking distance of the beach and main bar/club scene. It's on soi nanai which has some fun little restos and shops as well as many fewer... More

Found this to be clean and tidy, and was great to have the swimming pool (which was frequently empty!) A map is useful, as tuk tuk drivers had some issues finding it, but it was a quick walk to town anyway. Would recommend eating/drinking at the Green Mango which is just across the road from here.

Great staff that went out of their way to help! Clean, tidy, safe, large room. On a great little street, walking distance from the madness of Bangla Road and Patong beach.

We stayed at this motel mainly due to trip advisor recommendation that it was run by an Aussie and his Thai wife... (Who was lovely by the way). This turned out to be the best decision ever, the combination of Greg, who was the aussie owner, who could understand our every request and his wife Mia, who knew the place... More

I stayed here in a big group which the guest house could easily accommodate us for. The rooms themselves are a good size, clean but basic. You don't go to Thailand to sit in your hotel room all day though so it was exactly what we required. It's about a 15 min walk to Patong beach and nightlife, although you... More
