My Hubby & I stayed at the Andaman Beach Suites Hotel in a Mini suite deluxe room for 5 nights over Easter 2007. Unfortunately we had a mix-up with our booking at another hotel (found out by accident a month before) and alternative accommodation was not easy to be found over Easter in Patong Beach. We eventually chose the ABSH as other hotels available were further to walk and uphill. We were keen on staying at this end of Patong Beach, so location was fine.
Our first impression was very welcoming, loved the cold towels and ice cold refreshment.
Room: Mini Suite Deluxe, Room 1109, (approx AUS $90.00/night.)
We waited approx 45 mins for our room to be available, but realised this was because they were decorating our bed, as we had mentioned this holiday was a delayed honeymoon when we booked. Our room had a great view from balcony, but unfortunately our A/C compressor was also on the balcony and the fan faced us when sitting here, blowing hot air on us. Not what you need when it was very hot outside already. There was a connecting door between our room and 1110, and when our neighbors smoked in their room, the smoke came straight through the door. We had requested a non smoking room, so this seemed a bit odd. On top of this, the connecting room didn't have a balcony and we had their A/C compressor on our balcony as well as our own, so even if we turned our A/C off, we got blasted by hot air when our neighbors had theirs on.
The bathroom was spacious, but the shower leaked water all over the floor if you were in there for more than about a minute. The pool was nice to swim in, but had minimal shade and not really encouraging to spend a day sitting there relaxing with a good book. Very few sun lounges, as well.
Food: Only ate breakfast here (around 9-10.00am) every day - still enough food to choose from.
On a plus note, we did have wifi (bought internet card) here which we couldn't get at other places we stayed. Overall, nice average hotel for those watching the pennies, but now we have seen the area we would choose an alternative (there are plenty) and of course, you pay for it.

We only stayed here for one night and that was quite enough. The bath looked like it had been used to store coal. At first I thought that it was stained but when I rubbed it, it came off, just filthy.The room was ok, couch a bit stained though. Breakfast was ok and the staff were alright. A very mediocre place in sore need of a spring clean and some new furniture.
There was a lot of building work going on the area too and a pile driver was not a welcome addition to the stay.If you have another choice of hotel then take it!

Hotel room is not clean. An ocean of dust and rubish under the beds. The rooms are pretty warn down. Some nice staff.
Construction going on around the hotel. Patong is as expensive as Florida. Skip Thailand.

I just spend one week at the andaman beach suite,we got the cheapest room at about 80 us dollars,the room was very clean, with a balcony, and large enough to accomodate two peoples, nevertheless it would be time for the management to refurnish the rooms, let say that they have past their prime, but for the price they charge me i can't complain, the staff was always friendly and they were always eager to help me, great service, i had a problem at one time with the air conditioning and has soon as i call reception they had a guy over my room within ten minutes.You are about ten minutes away from the beach and you can easily walk to the different shop and restaurant from the hotel. The beach is very crowded, so if you like calm and secluded beach Patong is not your place.I would definately go back to this hotel and would recommend it to anyone who need a decent place for a good price. Also the andaman beach resort is part of the same compagnie, it's just a block away,it's more of a upscale resort, the great thing about it is that you can share their facility, they have a great pool, it's good to know, enjoy your trip.
