The hype
Travelers agree the location is decent for the price, but the facility is tired, dirty, and the staff can be rigid about fines.

Rezervējiet, ja You're a solo backpacker or budget warrior who just needs a crash pad near Bangla Road and plans to be out 18 hours a day.
Kāpēc cilvēki to mīl
- Cheap rates that leave more cash for Chang beers
- Rooftop pool offers a decent sunset view (if you ignore the broken chairs)
- 10-minute walk to the chaos of Bangla Road without being directly inside it
Ātrs apskats: A fading budget hotel that calls itself a 'resort' but delivers a dormitory experience with a side of questionable hygiene.
Pārskatīts: @Simplicity11_11: I stayed right in the heart of Patong and the location is unbeatable for nightlife. My room was basic but clean, and having a balcony to watch the city buzz was cool. The rooftop pool was my go-to spot for recovering before hitting the streets again.

Reality check
The 'Resort' in the name is a hallucination; expect a dated city hotel with hard beds and thin walls.
- You are on a strict shoestring budget
- You can sleep through street noise and slamming doors
- You treat a hotel room solely as a locker for your backpack
Tīrība un apkope

- Housekeeping: Inconsistent. Service is often every 3 days. Floors can be gritty.
- Bathroom hygiene: Major weak point. Reports of mold in grout, leaking tubs, and water stains.
- Maintenance: Tired. Peeling paint, broken tiles, and AC units that rattle are common.
- Linens & towels: Worn and graying. Check for stains immediately to avoid fines.
- Odors & scents: Often musty or smelling of stale cigarette smoke, even in non-smoking rooms.

BUJ un paslēptie paņēmieni
Viss, kas jums patiešām jāzina pirms grāmatošanas.
Is there really a fine for dirty towels?
Yes, and they are serious about it. A smudge of makeup or dirt can cost you 500 THB.
Is the pool usable?
It's there and open, but often described as having cloudy water or broken furniture. Good for a quick dip, not a pool day.
How far is the beach?
Patong Beach is about a 10-15 minute walk. It's not beachfront.
Is breakfast included?
Sometimes, but it's a very basic buffet. You're better off eating at a local stall nearby.
Can I bring a guest?
Technically yes, but they are strict about ID checks and may charge a 'joiner fee' depending on the mood of the desk.
Is there an elevator?
Yes in the main building, but it's slow and old. Annex buildings may require stairs.

If you want a quieter stay, ask for a room facing the back, but be warned it might be dark.
5 lietas, kas jāzina pirms doties
💡The 'Gym' is often just a few broken machines in a non-AC room.
💡The 'Resort' is actually split across multiple buildings, and the back ones feel abandoned.
💡Hot water is inconsistent; expect lukewarm showers at peak times.
💡The 'balcony' in Standard rooms is often just a standing ledge with no view.
💡You might find ants on the desk even in 'clean' rooms.
