Poor Choice
We choose this hotel due to its ratings and comments i assume made by the hotel on the web site. I can not agree with these ratings for the following reasons.
a/ the web site says '' located in a quiet area of patong'' ,this is wrong ,the room was extremely noisy , particularly as the lobby & restaurant is open to the street ,and the noise carried up through the lobby via open stairs , plus the hotel is on a busy street and with the tuk tuk taxis with boom boxes attached passing by during the night ,deep bass notes would reverberate through our room.
b/ we had a room with a door interconnecting to another room that was occupied by others, and due to poor sealing around the doors it felt like the two gentlemen were discussing their events in your own room ,such was the noise ,banging on the door quietened them down a bit
despite not being their problem.
c/ the double bed was badly worn out , my wife and i could not sleep on the side closest to the window where previous users had made the mattress loose its tension.and we had to move to one side of the cramped bed, towards the noisy and over cool air conditioner .
e/ ask your self why is there no pictures of this inn from the street , obviously this is not present as this would put off many people from staying, due to its surroundings and exposed lobby to the road.
f/ this hotel is not as close to the main tourist area as the web site suggests though it could be a lot worse .
g/ the hotel lift needs replacing ,taking off twice in the opposite direction when using ,and restricted to 2 people at a time .
h/ the pool is as noted is extremely small & cramped , and is indirectly exposed to the street.
the web site says it is suitable for families ,with all of the above problems and lack of security i not think so.
i can only recommend this to people who use the beach all day and bars all night and want a place to crash, preferably using one of the cheap rooms with no glass windows & noise.
