This hotel is a short walk from the beach and is surrounded by all that Patong Beach has to offer, including shopping, eating, drinking, massage, laundry. It doesn't have a pool or a flash restaurant, but that is reflected in the price. My brothers and wives stayed at a 5-star nearby, and paid heaps for a lot of stuff that they didn't use. The rooms fronting the street have a balcony, but then are subject to a lot of noise from traffic and nearby bars (like lots of other places that close to the centre of town). I chose to move to a room further from the street which was great, with a bed wider than it was long. The room was kept very clean. The only issue was the way the bath had been installed - the tiles were sloped away from the bath, which meant that some water drained onto the floor. Overall I give it a 3.5 out of 5, but this is based on my quite moderate demands and expectations - anyone expecting 5-star quality at 2-star price will be disappointed (as they deserve to be).
