What makes Patong Resort a good hotel is its location. 3 minutes to the beach, 4 minutes to Bang-La Road with its sparkling nightlife, 5 minutes to different shopping malls. This hotel is right in the center of everything which makes you close your eyes to some minor downsides.

The hotel itself is pretty old, at least the 4th wing. Rooms are clean but wallpapers and old-style furnishing had better times. The most annoying was that the toilet didn't flash but it seemed to be an overall problem on Phuket. If you think it's funny try to imagine extra 5 minutes spent in a bathroom trying to complete your business! Besides that everything was fine.

The hotel consists of four wings. Three of them are bungalows with a lovely garden and a pool. The 4th wing is the main building with reception, restaurants and its own pool. We asked for a sea-view room on a higher floor and we weren't disappointed. The room was nice and very quiet. The only problem is that they have only twin rooms facing the sea. If you want DBL they can only offer street view.

Overall service was good: pretty diverse breakfast, friendly staff, timely troubleshooting. I would recommend this hotel for those who want to be right in a bustle of Phuket.

Family with 2 and 5 yr old. Arrived 16th Jan till 23rd of Jan 2012. Great location with everything on the door step. Beach about 3 mins slow walk. Close to everything. Staff were amazing. Breakfast was great and the staff could not do enough. We will stay here again...

Not a five star Hotel by any means, as there are plenty of those springing up like mushrooms in and around Patong, this hotel offers great value along with Colonial charm of a by-gone era. The lobby and Emerald Dining room are vast and airy; staff greet you with warm smiles and a friendly “SaWaDiKa”. The all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet offers a good selection of Western and Asian food, enough to fill any empty stomach after a night out or before a day of touring or just lounging by one of two of the 50 meter pools. Located a scant 100 meters from the beach in one direction and 200 meter from a major shopping centre, Jung Ceylon, a myriad of choices awaits you. The location cannot be better for eating from street vendors or restaurants, shopping, relaxing or partying all night. This hotel is a great value for families or singles. Check it out!

Hotel in great location close to the beach and bangla road. Breakfast is good, staff are friendly. The new part of the hotel is much nicer than the older wings. Would stay again however made sure I had the new wing. Pools ok, didn't really use them as we were so close to the beach
