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.

Rezervoni këtë nëse 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.
Pse Njerëzit E Duan
- 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
Shikim i shpejtë: A fading budget hotel that calls itself a 'resort' but delivers a dormitory experience with a side of questionable hygiene.
Rishikuar nga @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.
Mysafiri Që Qëndroi Këtu Tha
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
Pastrëti & Mirëmbajtje
4.5
- 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.

FAQ & Këshilla të fshehura
Çdo gjë që do të dëshironit të dini para se të rezervoni
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.
