With previous managment it was a very nice hotel, although not very strict in security matters. It has now a new management and things got really worst. The actual management does not fullfill commitments made by staff, demanding 50% more on arrival that price previous quoted. AVOID IT

The location is very close to Patong Beach, just 5 minuts walking! Party Street is about 10 minutes walking. Laundry is just opposite the street around the corner. Tour venders just along the street. It is just so easy. If you travel budget is not that low, it is a good option since it is not a hostel, but a... More

Hi, My friend and I stayed here from 09/11/12 to 12/11/12. The place was great. Walkable distance to Patong Beach and to Juncyleon. I was doubtful when they said 5 mins to patong beach and 10mins to juncyleon but proven wrong. It was great that they even had a small cafe in front with good food with reasonable prices.No worries... More
