We stayed here for 2 nights. Hotel is in the centre place.
Rooms were very spacious & well maintained.
Breakfast was really good with more choice.

We got a good deal to James Bond Island.
(Do not hesitate to negotiate for the price!)

We stayed at the Patong Beach Lodge in June this year 2011 with family. We found it handy to all the things Patong has to offer, shops, night life etc. We had 4 rooms, and all were the same, no problems with facilities, but we found the beds extremly hard, we even turned the mattress in our room to stop the springs sticking in a bit. You can't ask for too much at $23 per night with full breakfast, and the food was fine, and plenty of it. We had a gathering at the pool one day, and drank all the beer in the fridge, they didntgo fill it up, so we went to the seven11 and got our own and drank it at the pool. They kept the fridge full from then hahaha. all in all not too bad, english is not their first language, so be patient.

Allround great Value. This hotel is closed for august and september i;m told for renovations and new owners taking over. Lets hope nothing changes dramatically. especially room rates ! they will lose regularly customers i would expect (: .check out prices after changes and see is my advice.

I was not expecting much to be honest, given that I'd paid A$28 a night, but when I arrived at the foyer, I was very pleased to find the place was quiet, although a stone's throw to all the action....clean, and staff friendly and helpful....Then, when I opened the door to my room upstairs, there was that moment when you wonder whether its going to be a good surprise or a bad surprise, and the answer was overwhelmingly good...

Dont get me wrong, this is not 4 stars, but its a very, very nice 2-3 star place. The rooms are quiet, not cramped, clean, and mine (202) had a very nice aspect over the pool and mountains to the east. I wanted to extend my stay, but it was booked out, which came as no surprise. The buffet breakfast was included and although not on a par with the Holiday Inn buffet, it had everything I wanted and cooked fine.

As a budget option, its one of the best places I've ever stayed, and I enjoyed it more than the much dearer hotel I subsequently had to move to on the beachfront, it had a lot more soul, a lot more charm, just not as good a position.

One more thing, they had a shelf of quality fiction books to borrow and read, which you dont get at the ritzy places, and this gave me a welcoming feel that was the icing on the cake.

I will definitely be looking to stay there again, at length, if location is paramount, and not at my other favourite spot in Patong, the Deevana, which is a truly lovely spot (at the mid-upper end of the luxury scale), but a fair walk from the action.
