We stayed at the hotel at the beginning of January 2007. Overall it was great!! The price was excellent, the rooms were clean and the furniture new (it was only built 2 years ago), and the breakfast which was included was good as well!
The gentleman at the front desk is one of the family owners of the hotel and is extremely helpful giving all kinds of information on day trips and such! The location is excellent if you want to be near to the beach and all the action!
Now for the drawback:
-the pool is very small, and although nice you wouldn't want to spend too much time at it (but most people spend all their time at the beach anyways)
- you can't make phone calls from your room so if you want to make any phone calls you have to go the front desk (and calling long distance is a nightmare)
- the rooms don't have a bath so if you're a bath person it won't work for you!
I would definately stay there again and would suggest that most people would enjoy their stay there (I am very picky, especially about cleanliness).
Have fun in Thailand,
Lori

| "For 32SGD per night per room, it is quite a steal for young couples. Not exactly for families with kids or old folks, because you have to walk a little into the back of a small lane to access the hotel.
Location is ideal for budget travellers at the Patong area as you can walk to the beach in 7mins, and to Bang La Rd in approx 10mins.
Just along the main road, walk about 7mins to the right, along with the traffic flow, you'll come across No.6 Restaurant, hard to miss this as you'll be able to spot loads of foreigners there for the food.
The staff were helpful despite the little communication problem we were having (couldn't really understand them with the accent).
Breakfast is very very forgettable though, although it is provided, I highly suggest that you save the stomach space and calories for any kind of food that is available outside.
The tv has cable channels.
The fridge provides us with 2 bottles of 1L mineral water (pls do not drink tap water!). Please take note not to practice eating the food from the fridge first and replenish later. They have sticky labels on their food and drink items belonging to the hotel. Just head out and you'll find 7-11 stores EVERYWHERE, like almost every 5min of walk.
The toilet is really crampy, or maybe it was only my room's toilet, I am not able to access the sink if I open the toilet door, quite awkward.
They also have a balcony with 2 plastic chairs, please note to keep your balcony door locked at all times because neighbours can simply climb over to your balcony easily.
It was a pleasant surprise that we found a safebox in the cupboard. :)
Overall, I would recommend this to all young couples who are on a tight budget.
Hope this review has helped. :)" |

| "its a nice hotel.good location. good size room , big bed, nice furniture. minibar is really cheap as well. i paid AUD 34 a night(stayed 6 nights in September 2008) and it is a really good value.
4-5 mins walk away from the bangala road( pubs area), u should try the pubs Tiger(upstairs) and Hollywood.
by the way thanks for the hotel's staff. they were very kind and helpful :) " |

| "A delightful little hotel right in the centre of town, tucked away from the traffic and noise. All the staff were charming, the room was large and clean, the bed was very comfortable and I had a balcony that overlooked the small but clean pool which, in my opinion, was much nicer than the beach. Breakfast was adequate if a little monotonous over an 11 day stay but who could complain for the price? Opposite the hotel were 2 hairdressers, a spa and a very clean and cheap family restaurant where I ate most evenings.
Thanks to AsiaRooms for finding this gem of a hotel and offering it at an absolute bargain price. Poppa Palace was seen offered by wotif.com at twice the price during the same period. The hotel is also apparently double the price if booked from the airport. Other guests were green with envy when I told them what I paid. I will definitely stay here again." |
