As these reviews clearly state, this hotel is right on the gay strip and if you are confronted by gays or the "bar boy" culture, then stay elsewhere. Otherwise the hotel is like having a front row seat in a theatre. The street at the front is a constant flow of katoey, drag queens and lots of others. The shows... more

This guesthouse is heavily promoted and advertised. By chance we were in the Paradise Complex and stopped by. The place was not like it was presented in the ads. We were in the lobby and general area as we stopped to have a beer nearby. The place is your typical gay guesthouse in the gay entertainment and hooker area. There... more

This is a perfect place to stay right in the heart of Paradise Complex. Located one short block from the beach. The hotel is right in the middle of the gay scene and the hospitality is wonderful for female travelers as well. The staff took great care of us during our stay there. and gave us girls the VIP treatment.... more

I note that prior ratings seem to be mixed. For the most part, it appears that negative reviews seem to focus on the location and other guests as the drawbacks. The points are well taken, but they must be taken in context. I would suggest that one be seriously interested in the area nightlife before booking a room. Although Connect... more

I was reviewing the top rated hotels in Patong here on Trip Advisor and saw this at #3. I believe, that unless you are an aged homosexual that intends to "befriend" one of the rentboys in the Paradise ghetto bars, this is not for you. My friend was staying at the nearby Royal Paradise, which is a very nice hotel... more

Many hotels in Patong claims that they are Gay friendly but this hotel is Gay owned, managed and staffed and straight friendly. What is the difference one might ask? The entire feeling is different and the hotel is full most of the time. You will never feel alone here. Its more like a family. Rooms are clean, food is great,... more

This gay friendly hotel situated in the Paradise complex of Patong is an ideal situated hotel. Its owners ( 2 swedish guys ) one named Bjorn and I cant think of the other ones name are around the hotel most days and nights but offer no real welcome to new guests at all. Bjorn who is the most friendly will... more
