Reviews and Ratings
I stayed at Expat Hotel Patong for 11 days, and overall, it was a decent experience. The rooms, although a bit tired, were clean and pretty quiet considering the proximity to clubs. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, going above and beyond their duties. The location is a major highlight, being right at the top of Bangla Road near all the night spots and restaurants. However, the dining options were limited, and the hotel could use some updates in terms of facilities.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The room was clean and comfortable, and the staff was friendly and helpful. However, there were some issues with noise at night and lack of natural light in the room. The location was convenient, close to the main attractions in Patong Phuket, but it was slightly overpriced. The dining experience was excellent, with quick service and delicious food. Overall, a good value for money option with a few drawbacks.
I found the hotel to be a lovely little gem in the heart of all the action in Patong. The rooms were basic but clean and tidy, equipped with a mini-bar and air conditioning. The terrace was a nice touch. While the rooms were a tad small and showing some signs of wear and tear, they provided a safe and relatively quiet retreat despite the proximity to the vibrant clubbing scene.
The hotel is perfectly located near Bangla Road, offering basic but clean rooms with air conditioning. The staff was nice and helpful, and the overall experience was good, although some noise issues were present. The dining options were satisfactory, and the location was convenient for exploring the area.
The hotel is situated in a busy part of Patong, just a 5-minute walk from Bangla Road. The rooms are standard with minor cleanliness issues like a few ants, but the pricing reflects the general increase in costs in Thailand. The service is exceptional, especially with Noi in the restaurant, ensuring a pleasant stay overall.
The hotel offers a versatile location with basic but clean rooms and friendly staff. The dining is average, and the price is affordable.
