The Hotel had two sections of rooms, 10% were over reception some overlooking beach, the rest overlooking lane way. Majority were otherside of lane way all surrounding the pool.
Service at reception exceptional, very helpful.
Rooms were average, but kept clean and plenty big enough, but this is not a 5 star hotel, I would say a 3 star.
The pool area was very nice, but sometimes hard to get shade certain times of day, even though we had umbrellas.
The service at bar around pool, was not the best, very slow and you couldnt run a chit. Beers great price, but mixed drinks seem almost watered down not real strong, cocktails very nice all reasonably priced.
Beach out front of hotel not suitable for swimming as full of rocks, but only 5 mins walk further on and great for swimming.
Down the laneway from hotel there were several places to have laundry done very cheap. Also down laneway a man named Mr Sam who was very helpful when booking tours and very cheap.
The hotel had a shuttle bus to town every half hour that was great, if not there was Tuk Tuk outside costing 150 baht. Also there are taxi's out front which can be a little bit cheaper depending on where you want to go. Full day tour of island by Taxi is 1000 baht which would consist of 6 hrs touring!!
I walked every morning and it took half an hour to walk along roadway, on to beach then down end of Patong Beach, so hotel is not that far from centre of town.
I would recommend this hotel as a budget hotel, but would probably stay at a four star hotel next time( I have been to Patong 6 times and normally stay 4 star)
