"I enjoed my stay"

Syed Salman Hus... S, Lahore, Pakistan 08/02/2023

I spend 2 night with my friends and booked 3 rooms. They were good and value for money except two things, first I didnt enjoyed the breakfast it was not according my expectations from BW and secondly toilet amenities were missing. Rest services cleanliness and especially location was real good.

"By Far the worst hotel we've stayed at abroad"

Pindi1969, Swadlincote, United Kingdom 16/12/2022

On check in we were asked to leave 1000THB in cash as a deposit, we didn't want to use our cash as we needed it for our holiday. This hotel needs to change it's policy, everyone holds a CC, so that's what we used. As we checked in people behind us from a particular nationality who use Thailand as a cheap 2 or 3 day getaway simply were making so much noise as they were toooo excited!! So they decided that they needed to start speaking to the same receptionist as we were talking too. No I don't think so mate you RUDE people from?? Even the receptionist said they really dislike them. Anyway our room was compact but the bathroom was mouldy, furniture needed attention. We asked for it to be cleaned and they just painted the mould Great!! We made our way outside for a few hours and on return someone from the streets wanted to enter the lift and asked us to use our room key to activate the lift for him. What is this place?? oh it's a knocking shop for people coming over from other countries, we he was told bey us to do one. Breakfast was simply disgusting, guests were spreading butter on their bread whilst still standing at the bread counter, customers were simply not interested in anyone else no standards no manners. We had enough by now, we asked to check out yes check out after one night of our 8 day stay. Agoda did nothing to help as it was a third party booking REALLY!! so we checked out waved goodbye to our booking and went up the road and stayed in a quiet, clean and friendly Ramada Divana. We are serious travellers and have been for many years and this experience has to go down as one of the worst. This hotel has no standards for couples or families. Be aware!!

"Noisy!!!!!"

Tina_arena2, Suffolk, United Kingdom 08/12/2022

Location wise it's superb, close enough to the beach and walking street but not too close. Hotel looks great as you enter the lobby but that's it. The rest of the hotel is dated and tired. Cleanliness is a major issue, nothing was clean. Lifts and pool area were always dirty, which was particularly surprising given covid regulations. Our room was small but adequate but again cleaning wasn't great. Our safe was broken and had to be repaired as soon as we checked in. There was a leak under the sink which we reported but was told we would have to wait in the room for maintenance. Every morning when we woke we found the floor to be wet but no idea why or where the water was coming from. There were puddles under the dressing table and around the bed. The biggest issue was noise, from midnight until around 5am all you would hear is guests shouting and banging doors. My husband went out of the room a few times to ask people to be quiet but it was the same thing every night with large groups of men. I wouldn't stay here again or recommend

Very good hotel centrally located in Patong, the ambience of the hotels is excellent, rooms are modern, electronic room keys, good toiles with toiletries provided with room, excellent breakfast and sitting arrangements, very welcoming front desk, good lift and parking area, overall we all enjoyed a lot, the most attracting was there top flor swimming pool with view, we booked 7 rooms and stayed 13/10 to 15/10/22 with group.

Anthony1962, Melbourne, Australia 11/09/2022

I had a very tight connection in Changi Airport and wasn't confident I could make the connecting flight so I decided to book a cheap hotel. If I didn't arrive for checkin then the only loss was the 3 nights here. I had originally booked 8 nights at a much more expensive hotel but due to their policy, if I didn't arrive at the check in date then all my nights would be cancelled and I would forfeit all the payment. On arrival the checkin staff were efficient and I was quickly in my room. It was much larger than I expected and very neat. Next day I went to the rooftop pool, it was quiet and had it to myself. The amazing thing about this hotel is the breakfast buffet, it's larger than most hotels I have stayed at. The staff could be a bit friendlier but can't complain due to the amount and variety of food. The only issue I had with the hotel was on the day of checkout. When I come back from breakfast, the minibar was gone. I assumed they removed it as I was checking out! Then when I was checking out and the room was checked, the front desk said there's no m minibar. I was asked what happened to it and I said it disappeared when I went to breakfast. I was asked who took it and I replied how do I know (I was at breakfast!!). I said check with the cleaners, luckily one of them admitted to removing the minibar. This avoided a very messy situation. How can this happen? Take note if you stay here and notify the hotel immediately if the mini bar disappears. Next time I will request it to be removed before my checkin.

"What a disappointment arriving in Patong to stay here!"

karenvW3425DS, Taizhou, China 27/08/2022

When one travels, and especially going back to a previous place that has amazing memories, it's the worst thing to be let down by your accommodation. Especially because of the brand. Best Western in China is up there with the best of the 4/5 star places. Unfortunately Patong's BW cousin is definitely the black sheep of the family. And it all starts with the reception. Bad attitudes, unfriendly staff, dirty lobby environment and a breakfast spread that leaves a lot to be desired will definitely not get us to return, EVER. The lifts had papers on the floor and the lobby area bottles etc. not being cleaned up by staff for hours on end. Rooms were not well cleaned and not well ventilated. The only positive part of this hotel was the roof pool. Well equipped with sunbeds and loungers and a pool bar with a great infinity pool you can watch Patong from. Seriously look at the brand you're representing. Service and cleanliness should not be based on how much you're paying for your stay.

Garth R, Sydney, Australia 30/06/2022

Had a great experience at this hotel. Staff were very helpful and accomadating with changes to my schedule, especially the front office manager JK. Location is great, within walking distance to all amenities and not too far from the beach, but far enough to be away from everything if you want to a well. The hotel has a very nice roof pool, and great breakfast. Can not fault this hotel.

Location great close to nano rd walk straight up to the beach and bangla rd in 10 mins or less . I stayed here because of sandbox rules I choose The best western because of its standards this hotel maintained that level The rooms are quite spacious, comfortable, modern and clean. The rooftop pool and outdoor area very nice . At the back are cabana style beds but the Great views from the rooftop pool area. Breakfast is buffet all good omelet on and eggs cook at egg station For what we paid we feel we got value for money. Location is very good. Bangla is a 5 min walk and beach is less than 10 mins away. Family mart close by. Good value clean and good bathroom

katiec12345, Canberra, Australia 28/12/2021

We arrived at 5.00pm after a long journey to be firstly ignored and then told that our room was dirty and not ready even though check in was at 2.00pm. We waited 30 minutes at reception to be finally brought up to our room by the manager. The room was extremely average with an odd smell and well below 4 star standard. The paint was clipping off the walls & the lighting in the room was extremely dark (bring a torch). We then went to the pool for a quick swim to try perk up our mood to then again be disappointed to find no staff, closed pool bar, paper tin pool towels and a bin overflowing with cigarette buts. The only positive was the friendly security guard and the location close to all the bars & restaurants. Our overall experience was TERRIBLE. Would not recommend this hotel to anyone

GM BWP, Owner at Best Western Patong Beach, responded to this review
Dear katiecl12345, Greetings from Best Western Patong Beach Phuket. May I begin by saying how extremely sorry I was to learn of your disappointment regarding your time with us. I can make no excuses (and would not wish to as your comments are entirely valid) for the lack of preparation of your room prior to your arrival and the subsequent lack of attention when servicing it. As a Best Western-branded property, we have comprehensive standard operating procedures in place covering every aspect of hotel operation which regrettably were not followed on these particular occasions and I have already briefed my entire team about the levels of service I expect on each and every occasion without fail. I would also like to deeply apologies for the issue you experienced with the service at the pool and this has now been fully rectified by my team. I have also addressed your comments regarding the cleanliness at the pool area with my Executive Housekeeper to ensure that all area is cleaned. I would like to end by thanking you for praising the aspects of your stay which you enjoyed and deeply regret those which did not meet your expectations thus causing you to award us a “low” score on TripAdvisor. I hope my reply reassures you that as the General Manager of Best Western Patong Beach I am utterly dedicated in taking concrete action regarding the feedback we receive and do not simply pay “lip service” to our valued guests' comments as I would like nothing better than by having the chance to welcome you again to experience the true meaning of a memorable Best Western Patong Beach vacation. I hope that we could see you again soon. Kind regards, Phakapol Yawaluk (Addy) General Manager

paulandceleste, Javea, Spain 25/12/2021

The rooms are quite spacious, comfortable, modern and clean. Kettle, cups, glasses , coffee and tea supplies are very good.Plus x2 big bottles of water. Balconies are ok, on the small side. Bed is very big and they have to use 2 different sized covers which is a bit strange. TV channels are all in Thai. The gym is small and just ok. Do not turn up too early as a few of us arrived at about lunchtime and waited an hour or so. To be fair, check in is 14:00. The rooftop pool is nice. Sunbeds are not adjustable so not that comfy and poolside has no shade. At the back are cabana style beds but the hard backrest becomes uncomfortable after a while. The biggest shockers are the exorbitant bar prices! 110 baht for a small tin of beer!! I understand they need to make a profit but that is nearly 3 times the cost of supermarket prices. Nice views from the rooftop pool area. No snacks and limited drinks menu. Breakfast is basic but ok. You choose your meal via a tick box. Eggs various ways, noodle and rice dishes. Small portions. You can also get fresh fruit, toast, cereal etc. For what we paid we feel we got value for money. Location is very good. Bangla is a 5 min walk and beach is less than 10 mins away. Family mart close by. Jungceylon is closed at the mo. As are a few other places - boxing stadium etc. Big C at Jungceylon is open. Enough open to keep people occupied.

Dear paulandceleste, Warm greeting from Best Western Patong Beach, Phuket. Thank you for bringing your experience to our attention, as it is through your comments that we are able to maintain and indeed improve upon the service that we deliver to our valued guests. One point I would like to politely clarify is with regards to the TV channels. Be informed that our hotel has provided 49 channels together with Thai, Chinese, Russian & English languages. All value issues you mentioned included the selling price of beer at the pool bar being attended to by me and my concerned departments. I held an immediate meeting with my team in order to ensure that all services need to meet our usual exacting standards. May I end by saying thank you once again for the nice review and I can guarantee you that these little shortfalls will be taken care of shortly. Looking forward to welcoming you soon again!

Helen Y, Glasgow, United Kingdom 15/03/2020

Stayed here for the first 3 nights on arrival. I wasnt sure what to expect when I saw the open plan/open air reception but after stepping out the lift to the corridor to my room I was in heaven. The air conditioning is extended out to the corridors and when the lift doors are open you are met by this reviving cold blast .The rooms are Modern, clean and spacious and great value for money. The hotel lobby is also a great social area to meet up with friends. And a rooftop bar with great views and happy hour is also a bonus. Its on a very busy street. With everything on hand but once inside the hotel you cant hear a thing. I will most definitely go back

surends2017, Elk Grove, California 10/03/2020

This hotel is nice. I really liked it. The reason for 3 start is because of the false advertisement. We thought this was close to the beach the way advertisement was showing, no close to beach at all. You have to cross two very busy street. We have to be very very careful when crossing. Other then that the hotel is nice.

Dear surends2017, Thank you for your recent stay at Best Western Patong Beach. We are happy to see that you had a wonderful stay with us. I feel you have misread our advertising regarding the distance to the beach from the hotel. Our online advertising states the following. "Located 300 m from Jungceylon Shopping Center, Best Western Patong Beach is 600 m from Bangla Road and Patong Boxing Stadium. Phuket International Airport is 24 km away." I hope you visit us again in the near future. Best regards. Kumar Ellawala General Manager Best Western Patong Beach

Clean and well maintained hotel. Good shower. Great breakfast. Nice swimming pool and gym. Good location near restaurants, 7eleven, ATM, money exchange, BIG C, Jungceylon shopping, Banzaan Fresh Market and Bangla Boxing Stadium. It's a busy hotel with 40 rooms in a single floor (they have 7 floors) sometimes it's hard to share only 2 lifts with all guests, also there are some drunk and annoying guests in the hotel. Hard bed and pillow. They offer a single cover for a Double bed.

Special thanks to all the following The receptions staff: Dining kitchen especially Ms New, chefs who made breakfast and Crispy bacon every day, the happy cleaners, and Bar staff.

We visited the Best Western Patong Beach for five nights. Firstly the location within Patong is amazing. A short stagger from Bangla Road. Juncylon, banzaan night market also really close.

If you looking for a place that is really close to the night food market and Patong Beach this is it. I would say the breakfasts here are really good and their rooftop pool. I do think that they could go out of their way to help guests a bit more. I did ask for a plaster/something when my foot was cut, however they said they had none (first aid box anyone?). Other than that we enjoyed our stay and the location is really ideal.

We had 4 night of vacation and one week before we came we asked to provide us calm room, because after 20 hours travel we wonted to have nice sleep. We ask about transfer to be organize and we got reply that they are fully booked and that they cannot organize transport from airport to hotel. Just rude and arrogant start. We came to hotel at 9am, with sleepless night we asked if we can get room before, lady at the reception reply us, ok if you pay, other wise wait 2pm. In the lobby of the hotel there are 4 couches, and all were occupied. It was written no food and drink, at 9 pm some people were already drinking beers with chips. My husband wanted to use lobby bathroom, it was only 2 for men, always occupied. Once they finally were liberated he went, but they were dirty and we went to reception to ask to clean it up and, after that it was again occupied and we used bathroom of restaurant and leave the language went for walk out of there. At 1pm we get room, we asked Calm and we got 517 what was just in the middle of corridor. Around us were group of people, they were have doors open continually visiting each other. So noisy. At most awesome situation is when at 3 night they put in the room beside Indian family and they made check in at 4am , they wake up everybody because they have couple of rooms and they were screaming from 3am to 4am, we call reception, but then they move inside to room and continue to make chaos inside to room, we couldn't sleep. After that other people start calling reception. At the end that Indian guy went down to complain why he cannot make check in “NORMALLY” and why everybody is comparing. Just discussing people and just worst than discussion management of that hotel. Please avoid this place, this place has no right to be BW Hotel, this is The WORST eastern hole we have been that cost like western hotel. Shame on you Best Western @Bestwestern

Dear MarinaD , Thank you for your recent stay at Best Western Patong Beach and please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused to you for not being able meet your expectations. This is certainly not the usual standard in our hotel. In regards to travel arrangement from the airport, although it was fully booked our staff should have given you an alternative options to arrange your transportation. This is the peak season in Phuket. I am sorry we couldn't get you a room earlier when you arrived at 9am. The official check in time is 2pm due to high occupancy all rooms need to be cleaned as most of the guests check out around 12 noon. We do offer Western food on the buffet daily to include, baked beans, ham, sausages, eggs any style and a few other rotating special dishes apart from Danish pastries, pancakes, yoghurts, and fresh fruits. I am sorry about the noise factor due to earlier morning 4am arrival of guests to your adjoining rooms which was unavoidable. In regards to room cleanliness I have already spoken to our housekeeper to ensure we focus on the cleanliness standards. Dear MarinaD, it seems everything went wrong from the time you arrive until you left. Once again, I am very sorry for the inconvenience caused during your stay. I wish I had the opportunity fix all issues had I know about earlier. Rest assured improvements will be made. If you need any assistance in the future please do not hesitate to contact me directly.

Cold welcome, nobody to help at the lobby with luggage. Had to follow up everyday for toiletries. Restaurant food was not good, gave us stomach problem. But location definitely good. Right opposite the happening Bangla Market lane. All the necessary stores were around the place.

"Regarding the hotel charge"

The worst hotel I've ever checked in. They'll bluff and charge extra amount from you saying that you broke the glass you broke the water bottle amd they'll charge minimum of 400thb. Better don't get into this.

"Ridiculous WIFI"

SwissTraveller1979, Bremgarten, Switzerland 30/12/2019

Every time you leave the hotel, you have to re-enter the WiFi password, regardless how often you leave the hotel or for how long. Also every second day, they will change the WiFi password, so that you will have to go to the lobby to ask for the new WiFi code, as they refuse to give you the new code over phone. Even if you call the reception from your hotel room. This is the most ridiculous WiFi policy that I've ever seen and it urgently needs to be adapted for the year 2020! The pool is small but very nice. Unfortunately, you can only really enjoy it very early morning or short before sun set/ early night, as otherwise it is way too hot, as directly exposed to the burning sun. Besides that, the staff is friendly, the breakfast is ok and the location is great, everything is within walking distance (the beach, the shopping malls and the night life). The rooms are clean and the AC works perfectly. Unfortunately the rooms are very clairaudient so that we could hear our neighbor laughing one night and vomiting another night... There are many Chinese guests, that may appear rude to the average European (by sneezing over the breakfast buffet, bringing food to the pool although forbidden or jumping the queue to enter the elevator, although we were already waiting in front of the elevator with our baby-stroller (including baby)).

Dear SwissTraveller1979, We very much appreciate your comments regarding your stay at the Best Western Patong Beach and please accept my apologies we did not meet your expectations.

ThomasK1698, Liverpool, United Kingdom 29/12/2019

I stayed here whilst visiting Phuket and this hotel is in a great location. Its 5mins walk from walking street were all the bars are and restaurants and also 10 min walk from Patong beach. Check in was very quick on arrival and even when leaving and the rooms were clean and tidy and were cleaned every day. Only fault with my stay was no english channels were on the tele and some were very fuzzy, not that this is a big thing as you don't go on holiday to watch t.v but it would of been nice to be able to.

"A Good Stay"

TrainerKath, Hobart 29/12/2019

We stayed at Best Western Patong for 5 nights and were satisfied with the hotel. The staff were friendly and helpful when we emailed in advance. The highlight was the rooftop pool area, which had good views and plenty of sun beds and chairs. Breakfast each morning was great, although there was no air conditioning. I recommend sitting at the tables closer to the road, which had a nice breeze. The hotel room itself was clean and simple. It was a bit noisy at night with noise from other guests, but not as bad as other hotels I've stayed in. The shower had good pressure, but didn't drain very quickly. All up, a good stay.

"Average"

NonDScript, Singapore 27/12/2019

It was an OK stay. I did expect a bit more, considering the price (price of just one room was already twice the amount we spent for 2 rooms at the Yorkshire Inn Hotel on the same trip), so was not expecting to see that my pillow case though clean was worn (had several holes), or that other than shower gel and shampoo, nothing else was provided in the toilet. Wifi was strong. We paid what we were told was a special rate for the breakfast (150baht). It did have a fair variety but most of it was carbohydrates (breads, cakes, noodles). The highlight for me was the was soup noodles as it was cooked on the spot. The other hot station was an egg station where you can order omelettes, or take the already cooked fried or hard-boiled egg. The fruit section has only watermelon, pineapple, rock melon and tangerines, and they were not fantastic – the rock melon was hard and bland, the pineapple looked pale (so I did not try it), and the some of the tangerines had mould on them (though those I ate were sweet).

BW_PatongBeach, General Manager at Best Western Patong Beach, responded to this review
Dear NonDScript, Thank you for taking the time to write a review on Tripadvisor. This is the peak season in Phuket hence hotels accommodation prices are much higher than low season. We do offer additional amenities free of charge on request, which we state in the room.

We hope you give us and opportunity to invite you back to hotel to experience all improvements. Look forward to seeing you in the near future. Best regards.

"DO NOT STAY HERE AT ANY COST!!! DISGUSTING HOTEL, HIDEOUS ROOMS, HORRIBLE COMMUNICATION!!!"

Nikusica, Banska Bystrica Region, Slovakia 25/12/2019

Nightclubs, noisy disgusting surroundings, dirty small old room. Screaming one night stand with a prostitute next door. We wanted to cancel the reservation and leave, but the hotel nor AGODA allowed it. We talked to a small lady at reception, who spoke little English and we (thought we) made a deal to transfer us to another BW hotel in Phuket (a cheaper one) without paying anything more. When we arrived in the other BW, they had no info about us and the Best Western Patong didnt call them even when the woman told us she did. Long story short, we were FORCED to stay or lose 500€. - prostitutes allowed in the hotel - old rooms, dirty, small, very noisy - no basic amenities like toothbrush, slippers, nothing - only local and 2 chinese TV channels - 20+min walk to beach, not 5 like they state - dirty smelly hideous green beach - disgusting area, full of "pingpong shows", prostitues, drunk people, cockroaches - it was my birthday, they knew it, no surprise/birthday wish, nothing unlike anywhere else - horrible receptionists, bellboys are rude, manager even more - overpriced - from rooms, to water automats, to drinks, meals - smoking area right next to the pool - leaking AC - 80% Chinese, 15% Indians, 5% others - sooooooo noisy - the funniest part was the breakfast worth "10€ per person" on the day of our departure - 1/2 - half a piece of a sandwich, 1 tangerine, 1 small banana, 1 plain muffin, 1 yoghurt, 1 egg, 200ml drink - ridiculous + rooftop pool (but cold af, even with 35 degrees outside) + the only real plus was a good breakfast + restaurant personell, when we got sick, they allowed us to take a bit of food upstairs Overall, the worst hotel in my life ever. Please do not stay here, if you wish to have a nice holidays.

Dear Nikusica, Thank you for your recent stay at Best Western Patong Beach and for taking the time to write a review on Tripadvisor. We are extremely sorry to hear your disappointment as well as the area in Patong, Phuket. It seems everything had gone wrong from the time you stepped in to our hotel. Please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused. I have noted all your comments in detail and I would certainly take some of the valid points for immediate improvements. However, I would like to clarify a few points you have highlighted in your review. Patong is a world-famous tourist destination, well known for clean beautiful beaches (not a dirty smelly hideous green beach), night life and authentic southern Thai, fresh seafood and street food. We have never advertised or mentioned in anywhere that the beach is 5mins walk. It only says 600M walk to the nearest Patong Beach. The walking distance time to the beach is up to each individual's pace. None of the tourists are forced to go to places they don't want to (i.e. ping pong show). If you are not into night life there many other beautiful attractions you can travel to enjoy your holiday. Our hotel do not allow prostitutes. However, guest are allowed bring a joiner, as long as with a valid ID. This is the normal practice in any hotel in Phuket or in any Thailand beach destination. We often get praised for the beautiful roof top swimming pool and none of the guests had complained about the water being cold. Average temperature in Phuket is 35-38 degrees Celsius and guests find it very comfortable. We have our basic amenities in each room and have advised the each guest room that we could provide additional amenities on request. Once again we are very sorry that we couldn't meet your expectation. We wish you all the best. Best regards. Kumar Ellawala General Manager Best Western Patong Beach

Location is good. Very close to Patong market and You get almost everything at a walking distance. Breakfast spread was good, but hardly anything to eat for Indian vegeterians. There were 1-2 dishes, but tasted nothing like what we have in India. Staff is very friendly and ever smiling. Special call out to travel executive, who was very helpful with the bookings for sightseeing, etc. Wifi needs major improvement. The speed reminded me of 2G days. There are a couple of desktops in the lobby though, where you can browse internet at good speed. Rooms are good and clean. All in all, a good value for money to stay in close proximity to Patong market.

SandyBanu, Bengaluru, India 18/11/2019

- we went as a group via TripFactory (must say the experience was not as expected) - the property is centrally located & easy to walk to Patong Beach/ Bangla Road - Rooms are smaller, typical business / budget property - Staff can spend more time smiling and interacting with the guests- they were rude at times if we ask them any questions - Breakfast spread can improve a lot with more options - We had to call the reception thrice via Operator for an extra bed. Despite of reminding at 6 pm twice, till we came back to the hotel room @ 2 pm- the bed wasnt ready - AirCon was pretty good and bed-linen was of premium quality - after our check-out the lady from reception from the hotel called us saying two towels were missing- i had to ask for a temporary access key and rush to my room- the towels were folded & kept near the wardrobe section - apparently, the house-keeping incharge did not notice my towels- she did apologize to me- that it was her mistake. - Front desk should be more courteous to the guests- instead of asking for TBH 1200 for the two towels- they should have politely checked- if we had misplaced the towels or left at the pool - this is not the best western i expected from a service quality standpoint - One of the days, we had packed breakfast (because we had PhiPhi Island tour)- the box was literraly cold- no crossiants, no fresh bread- it was a dead cold sandwich with a fruit & a packed juice (tetrapack) - Rooms are not sound proof- you can hear all night long vehicles passing. Opt for rooms which are not facing the main road.

scotwel, Swansea, United Kingdom 31/10/2019

All mirrors in lobby are filthy as most things are in this place. Floor in outside restaurant dirty. Shown to the room. Shower full of long dark hairs, grime and dirt on walls, skirting, in cupboards, drawers etc. Toilet and bathroom not clean. No toilet roll. Bedlinen stained and grimy as were the curtains. Towels were once white I expect. Yuk Looked in other rooms just the same so stuck it out for 2 nights. Breakfast, the guy at the egg station had on chefs jacket that might have been white in another life. Absolutely disgusting! Could not eat there as thought what are they like in kitchen if one out here is like that. Thought we would be OK with a brand name like Best Western and it wasnt cheap to stay in this dirty hotel.

The hotel is in a good location if you don't want to be in the thick of the hustle and bustle of BANGLA RD, but is in a short walking distance to all the massage/spas, bars, clubs, shopping areas and restaurants. I am travelling alone for the weekend and with it being my first time in Thailand, I wanted to experience Phuket and I am really pleased with the experience I have received from the hotel and what it has to offer. Good customer service (although improvements required with restaurant staff; limited English and abrupt). Its a clean and convenient hotel and priced well. Rooms are of a decent size but the front doors need replacing - The noise levels in the corridor got VERY LOUD and lots of disturbances throughout the night by inconsiderate fellow guests.

Best Western was clean and felt good after a long trip through the gorgeous islands of Thailand. It's location is right in the middle of the Patong craziness. So if this is your vibe - being in the middle of the franticness of Patong, then this is the best place for you to stay. Very cool thing is their infinity pool with a view of the city.

"Worst experience"

User 19/06/2019

I have booked hotel for 3 nights and 4 days. Though I was aware that they have check in at 2pm but as my flight landed early so we reached 2 3 hrs before the scheduled check in time. When I talked to the reception they said early check in is not available and if you need its chargeable@1000 baht which I didn't like due to which we waited at reception area as it was raining outside so we can't go out too. After this for whole 3 hrs they didn't bother to come and ask for water also which I believe is basic courtesy. Cons of room: 1) The TV in the room has only local channels, when they know they have international tourists all over Phuket 2) They don't provide basic amenities like toothbrush toothpaste washroom sleepers 3) If you don't put towel on floor they wont replace it next day also 4) The wifi is so so 5) Breakfast is worst if you're vegetarian. They have only bread butter, conflex salad and fruits only for vegetarians On the pro side ,only thing is locality which is near to bangla street Overall I am not satisfied with hotel service. I won't suggest to someone else too

The shower room is unclean. Moldy looking. They never change the sheets, blankets, and pillow cases. They were stained before hand. Had to make them change it when we arrived. They do not clean the toliet every day. We had to ask them to clean the toliet. I will not be returning.

"It's an Average Property with Rude Reception Staff"

wolverine007, Nashik, India 21/05/2019

I stayed here from 16th to 19th May and had booked my room for 2 Adults and 1 kid. On arrival we had travelled for almost 15 hours and the reception staff wasn't able to find our booking for a good 20 mins. While keeping us waiting till they checked they did not even offer us water. Upon being asked to at least serve water to us, the receptionist said its a 3 star hotel and we do not serve water or welcome drink to arriving guests. Once they found our room booking, their next confusion started when they mentioned that we have to pay for the child's breakfast whereas the payment was already made to Makemytrip our booking partner. The confusion wasn't resolved even till our checkout and makemytrip asked us to pay and claim from them once back in India. Pathetic. Rooms are extremely small, the bed is good only for 2 people at the best and they knew that we had booked for 3 people even then the small room was offered even after paying for 3 people. We struggled to manage on the small bed. On the plus side: 1. Swimming Pool is good 2. Very approachable to the market While we were departing they said that one teaspoon was missing from the room, it took sometime to explain to the reception guy with his limited knowledge of English that the housekeeping took it while cleaning food from our room. You can get better in Phuket. Would be best avoided if your 3 or more people

Dear wolverine007, Thank you for taking the time to share your latest experience with us and the TripAdvisor community. Needless to say that it is disappointing that you did not thoroughly enjoy your stay with us and based on your feedback provided, we would like to apologize for any inconvenience caused during your stay. It is important for us though as a Hotel however, to clarify the following: 1. All our guests are being offered water if they are in need for it. This is the normal hospitality mind set. After analyzing the CCTV footage in our lobby (including audio), I am happy to learn that your claim about our receptionist misbehaving in the way how you are describing it is not correct. 2. The original booking we received over the agency you have booked included 2 adults only. The fact that you were checking in with a child of 5 years old without having this included in the booking was the reason it took the team longer to locate your booking. As a kind reminder, please be advised that we did not charge the child for breakfast as we could see you were not satisfied with the overall situation. We decided to do this since we do want our guests to enjoy their holiday with us. 3. All of our rooms are the same size. The additional set up and charge for the extra bed was declined from your side. It is very unfortunate that the shortfalls which occurred throughout the booking process made such an huge impact on the rest of your stay but we still hope that you will treasure the overall experiences made in the Land of Smiles. Many thanks for staying with us and we do hope to see you again in the near future. Best regards, Tristan Tristan Kuehneisen General Manager

Room itself is spacious, huge comfortable bed. Decent air con, lovely big and powerful shower. Breakfast average, but nice omelettes. Wifi none existent, better in the lobby but it kept cutting out in our room and wasn't strong at all. Great location, 5 minute walk to Bangla Road or the big shopping centre. Nice pool area, plenty loungers.

No problem with the hotel really. It's located on a very busy street so it's extremely noisy if you plan on getting a good night's sleep. You will hear motorcycles well past midnight. The hotel itself is very lovely. Comfortable bed and good shower. The staff is wonderful, very friendly and helpful. We didn't have breakfast here but the restaurant is good for lunch and dinner. I would just prefer a more quiet atmosphere.

Ahmed_BN, Phuket, Thailand 07/04/2019

I had to stay with my family for 10 nights here. I was shocked how far the distance between the motorbikes parking lot and the entrance of the hotel. They put us in the farest rooms so we had to walk long everytime we need to go out or to come back. The "Satellite TV" they called is poor and most of channels are weak. The breakfast was nice but expensive (300 bahts for two or for 1 person alone). The hotel located in great area, staff are nice and security level is high. They prevent guests from smoking on balcony (strang) yet this was not mentioned when we booked. The balcony is too small and miserable in width (only 14 inches).

Dear Ahmed_BN, Thank you very much for writing down your latest experience at the Best Western Patong Beach!

It does increase the overall safety of all guests and employees and it eliminates the risk of unpleasant smell in the guest accommodation. We would like to apologize if you had to walk a bit more than usual, but your booking request led to this particular allocation. Thank you once again for your lovely feedback and we do hope of being able to welcome you back in the near future. Best regards, Tristan Tristan Kuehneisen General Manager

Stay was very good. Located near Bangla road Phuket. You can walk to many places from here. Staff was good. Food quality was also good. Doesn't have many options in the breakfast though, but it was enough. You can do much more if you stay in Best Western Patong. Coming to Phuket, you would want a hotel which is located in the center of many tourist attraction. I would definitely want to stay again here. Very Practical choice.

Best part of the hotel was its location from the walking street that is Bangla street, the most happening place in Phuket. Rooms were good . Staff was friendly . Enjoyed the swimming pool at top floor. We stayed there for three days and two nights. Free morning breakfast was good for we have vegetarian friends also and there was adequate choice for vegetarians also.

ChinarGrover, Faridabad, India 19/03/2019

We landed in Phuket and stayed in this hotel. The check in time was 2 pm, the hotel's lobby was full and had no space to sit. Not a warm welcome. Checked in our room. Room was done quit well with white interiors. The washroom was small and there was a balcony! The beds were comfortable. The best part was the patong club Street was just 5 mins walk from hotel. Also around hotel, there were a lot of restaurants. From pan Asian to italian. There was a shopping complex nearby where you can shop and also had a lane full of restaurants with different cuisines. We chose the breakfast buffet with our Stay. The choices for a vegetarian person were way too less. Also the food at their buffet restaurant was way too average. Overall a nice place minus food, wouldn't recommend anyone choosing their breakfast buffet. Comfort - 3/5 Food -2/5 Location- 4/5 House Keeping - 3/5 Hospitality - 3/5

Hotel is situated in a very good location near Patong beach. It is also near Baanzaan night market and jungceylon. Just opposite the hotel is a stretch of restaurants that open till late night.There are quite a number of massage places to choose from nearby. The rooms are very clean and new looking, staffs are very friendly and helpful. Best of all, for an additional low fee, you can get the hotel breakfast which I will strongly recommend because it is value for money and good. All in all, I am very happy with my stay here.

Come here regularly on business and Best Western is in a perfect location for me. The price is reasonable, room is quiet and clean - I was at the end of the building away from the road - and internet seems better that last time I stayed. Nice pool and gym on top floor with good views. I sometimes have to extend my bookings while I'm here and reception and management are very helpful. Housekeeping manager and staff helpful too. TV lacks English speaking channels but ok if here on holiday. Air-con was good - which is important. A wider selection of beer at the bar would be good. San Miguel light would be my choice and is available in many other bars here but not the hotel. Close to jungceylon mall for shopping and big c supermarket and only five minutes walk to Bangla and the beach. Will be back soon.

Stayed here for 2 nights. The rooms are nice and comfortable however my let down was the staff. They are very unfriendly and you definitely don't want to see that at a hotel reception. There were no basic things in the bathroom like a toothbrush , a shower cap etc..for a hotel of this class. We we're checking out at 5am and they dint have staff to help with luggage so we had to bring it down ourselves. Basically for a holiday spot the hospitality of this place is not great at all!!

We stayed here last week. Although it is not very new, the hotel is well maintained. Location is very near to Patong beach, bars and restaurants. Breakfast is reasonably good, at least better than many hotels in Thailand. Any requests handled immediately by the management. Airconditioning is a little bit noisy, we are not disturbed by the busy city noises. In short, I would return and stay in this hotel again.

Still one night to leave this hotel but can't wait to review it. Very bad breakfast, coffee, tea, fruit, ... and when they run out of food they just don't replenish it. Nice and helpful staff although some of them not very happy in the breakfast and housekeeping. Big room, confortable bed but firm and high pillows, nice bathroom with big headshower, just a few English TV channels. Far from the beach but close to the "action", won't return to this hotel.

room - good size, mini bar fridge, walk in shower (prone to flooding), toilet tank was leaking water! service - bad experience with leaking toilet tank. front desk not helpful. house keeping not able to fix. we gave on it. on-site tour booking - good experience with staff Suriwan working at the desk. Good price and service. Even lent us her personal umbrella when it was raining out and went the extra mile to ensure guests tour experience were the best possible. amenities - pool and gym - did not use either so cannot comment buffet breakfast - mix of thai and western breakfast items. fried eggs - very greasy and messily piled into heating bins. omelette station had made to order, ok but quite greasy. coffee not very good. they have what looks like a coffee drinks machine but it is set to only dispense coffee so you may have to wait if a few people are trying to get coffee since it only does one drink at a time. location - on main street, very close to big Juncylnn shopping centre, bazaan night market, and bangla road where all the bars are. very convenient if you are into the nightlife party scene. huge sound stage with karaoke style singing. very noisy!

best western hotel on patong beach at bangala road was a good stay though the basic amenities were missing in the beginning and i needed to remind them of the same thrice before i reached out to the reception to inform them. By basic amenities i mean bathing towels and shampoo candiitoner and soap and other toiletries...did i asked for more? i dont think so. The guy at the reception was defensive when approached with the request. well other than this episode, all went on well. The room stay was comfortable but the pillows were very hard and uncomfortable, can lead to serious neck issues.Lobby area is very welcoming and the restaurant around is very happening throughout the day. No food is served at late nights, guess i can imagine why, since all the food street.Location is very good and close to patong beach. breakfast in the morning is well stacked too. one thing i figured out in all and all of thailand,dont ask for more or anything but only what u pay for.If anything goes wrong, dont expect them to fix it for u.

rosiek87, Yeovil 23/12/2018

Have given this 3 stars as I believe that is what the hotel deserves. Rooms were fine (get what you pay for) and the roof top pool was fairly nice and a good size. The location is very good, right near the centre of Patong so no need for taxis to get around the town. Our first disappointment was a charge to us for the breakage of the complimentary free water glass water bottle. We tried to clear up the glass the best we could with what we had in the hotel, however we were still charged for the damage of the free item... Our second disappointment was the noisiness of the hotel, we had people banging on our doors and shouting down the corridors in the evening whilst we were trying to sleep. When we told the staff in the morning they did not seem that concerned, did apologise but no compensation was given.

DoR_LaI, Singapore, Singapore 08/12/2018

Just stayed here in early Dec. The hotel is well located in Patong and short walk to Jungceylon mall and night market. The room itself looks relatively new and well designed. My rate came with breakfast, which was also reasonably decent in food selection. However, there was quite a lot of other issues with this hotel. Firstly there was a loud mechanical sound that consistently sounded in my room (212) and despite asking the front desk to check it, the sound persisted even at night. Secondly the hotel catered to a lot of tour groups, who were unfortunately very noisy and with the thin walls of the hotel room, caused quite abit of disturbance and I didn't get a good sleep. Thirdly the bed sheet had a huge stain. The staff is generally ok - k'sakunrat who checked me in was quite nice, but I felt a general sense of weariness in the team to cope with the high guest occupancy at the time I was staying. Lastly, the hustle and bustle of Patong is also not really my cup of tea. Fortunately we stayed only one night. In general, there are much nicer places in Phuket than Patong. But if Patong is your thing, then I think Best Western is an “ok” choice based on the price and location.

About an hour drive from the airport, the best western is in an ideal location, lots of bars & restaurants close by, a five minute walk to Bangla road, and 10 mins to the beach. The rooms are very clean & roomy, Maid service & 2 free bottles of water everyday. Breakfast is excellent with a great choice. The pool is also fabby with a great little pool bar & free towels. We had a problem with very noisy neighbours arguing all night long, after 3 days we had had enough & asked to be moved, this was no trouble at all and were moved within the hour, the staff were very friendly. The only downside is the wifi keeps kicking you off & you have to resign in everytime. Overall an excellent stay & would Deffo recommend.

The hotel is in the main location and closer to patong. We walked everywhere from our hotel. The rooms are nice but little clumsy. The bathroom was great! There was no view! I mean it had a pathetic view. But we didn't look for view so it was ok. We got a balcony too which was nice. The ground floor including the front desk, breakfast area and lobby area is very casual and comfy. I found it attractive. Check-in and check-out was quick. The pool is on the top floor and not some bigger. But it was fine. They serve breakfast very early morning so it was very helpful to us as we had early morning flight. It was worthy!

“Very good staff Service with smile always Clean Hotel with good room Amazing buffet breakfast spread (Manager Pinky and her staff are very attentive and always took good care of us specially with my wife being a vegetarian) Value for money deal Very good tour booking desk with reasonable pricing (Ms. Siriwan is a great asset to the Hotel, she is always smiling and gives genuine service. We were lucky to meet her as after she did our deals proceeded on her maternity leave for next 3 months or so ) Location - close to everything and you can just walk to all the popular places (Adult and Kids - all entertainment)

Stayed here for 4 nights last week. The hotel is very welcoming and clean, upon arrival reception staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms were modern and absolutely spotless, the only down side is the beds are slightly uncomfortable, but not a huge issue. Location of the hotel is brilliant only a 5 mins walk from the juncylon shopping mall, from here you can cut through to the beach easily. The rooftop pool is lovely, clean large pool, good views of Patong, nice seating and sunbathing areas and a good pool bar that does a great happy hour. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again, the hotel was good value for money.

alibaba73, South Wales, United Kingdom 07/11/2018

please check out my other reviews to see I always leave an honest opinion. check in was really easy and quick with no issues. rooms lovely and clean. bed was very hard however, and did ask for a topper which in all honesty didn't make a difference but as most beds in Thailand are hard, it was just get on with it. rooms cleaned daily, and maid was lovely. breakfast, great choice, and again great staff, plentiful and hot. pool, wow ! one of the best pools in patong in my opinion, and the cabanas were great. I did read you had to pay for them on another review, but this isn't the case. only issue I found was that the sunbeds didn't have any umbrellas over them and thus it could get very hot. only other issue experienced was very noisy guests but that is no way the fault of the hotel, and we did complain which isn't something we would normally do as after all we are in patong, but they were so loud it was ridiculous. staff did speak to them I believe and it seemed to work. definitely stay here again as in great location, and excellent price.

"THE WORST SERVICE AND INFRASTRUCTURE!!!!"

User 04/11/2018

My husband and I visited this hotel just 2 day back and checked out today morning. The lobby is great and inviting and check in was smooth. And then the nightmare began, we were given a room on the 4th floor the moment we got out of the elevator the lobby seemed like straight from a horror movie, basically dark and dingy. Once in the room everything looked fine and got down to freshen up so we could go exploring, little did we know that wasnt going to happen. There was an enormous leakage in the pipe below they basin. On calling the Front Desk they sent up a housekeeping staff to check and then an engineer. My husband spent 1hr watching over him as he undid the entire pipe from the wall thus creating an entire pond of murky water in the bathroom. Front desk didnt even try to move us to another room for some reason know best to them. We called housekeeping thrice to clean the loo whilse we had still not even stepped out after arriving. Finally when we went down to the reception we requested a room change which obviously didnt happen or wasnt even attempted. We asked them to clean our room while we were but yet again it wasnt when we returned aftera couple of hours. The drill continued of calling housekeeping ourselves and making it happen. The funny thing was they dint change the footmat which i dont know why!!!!!!! This day finally came to an end. We went out for a cruise the next day and returned to find the same floormat and leakage back to square one. And still no room change!!!! On the day of check out which is today, we finished our breakfast and made a final visit to the lobby toilet before going by minivan to krabi and viola!!!!!! LEAKAGE THERE TOO!!!!!!! Now let me clear one thing, i wasnt going around looking for leakage all over the hotel but when there's a pool you can notice it... All in all a horrible and disappointing experience and i will never return to this hotel or recommend it to anyone.

Hotel was located very close to the patong beach and jungceylon mall and many restaurants around it. the roof top pool has a excellent view of the city and it is quite clean. there was not much options in breakfast for indians except bread and omlette. Travel desk was very helpful and found best price compared to other travel agencies. The room was too small with narrow door way.

Jamie W, Dartmouth, United Kingdom 10/10/2018

What a fabulous hotel and the service was very very good, from the moment we arrived nothing was too much trouble, just of the main street in a quiet location but close enough to all the amenities and Karon Beach itself. The rooms in the hotel were first class, a few issues with the first room through no fault of the hotel, noisy guests. upon explaining our plight to the reservations team we were imidialty moved to another room which was soooo much better. For an additional fee, we upgraded our holiday to a cabana for the last 3 nights which again was perfect with our own hot tub/jacuzzi spent those nights before going out to eat relaxing and cooling down after a hard day in the sun! we also ordered one of the chefs private BBQ - you would be mad to miss this is you get the chance, lobster, king prawns, salmon, steak and all the trimmings, at the price it was a gift approx £20 per head. Great holiday and we will be back to Karon beach at some point in the future. Oh and don't forget to book in for a two-hour hotel spa experience, a little more expensive that what you could find in Karon Beach but so worth it.

Though the price was worth it as the room was clean, the girl staff at the check in counter was very rude as in her attitude. Also, some of the lights in the hallway on the 4th floor was on and some were off, not sure if it was due to energy saving reasons but at least it was very dark in the hall.

This hotel was the best value for our stay in Thailand out of many hotels that we stayed in over our month travelling round. Brilliant rooftop pool with a bar and gym. Breakfast was plentiful with lots of choice. Rooms were spacious and modern. Location is 3 mins from the main strip and 5 mins from the beach. The room could be a bit cleaner, I found hairs on the floor upon check in which I cleaned up myself.

From the moment we arrived it was obvious that everyone at the hotel was very friendly. We were given a room on the top floor which was handily just down the corridor from the pool. The pool area was absolutely stunning and so relaxing! Our room was comfortable and clean and had basic amenities like a kettle and a TV (although the TV signal was poor). We were also given two complementary bottles of water per day which was good as Thai tap water is not for drinking. The breakfast was quite varied and quite tasty, and the hotel restaurant served some nice food with discount for hotel guests during certain hours. However, the WiFi in this hotel was a bit temperamental to be honest. It seemed to disconnect and reconnect all the time.

Gaurav G, New Delhi, India 18/09/2018

Although best western is located in the heart of the city , but the hotel staff and their policies are totally customer unfriendly. 1. First thing they charged more amount than what we booked on makemytrip which upon confrontation they denied. WE didnt had any proof as we paid in cash. They charged us 2800 bhat for the room booked in 2453 bhats on MMT. 2. We had booked 3 rooms and these guys didnt even give early checkin for even 1 room so that we can freshenup. 3. The staff is totally unfriendly and rude when asked for anything. The most surprising thing was they charge extra for any guest visiting . When we asked where is this written, they refer some policy which is only available with manager and who comes only in the morning. totally unfriendly behaviour. I will give 1/5 points to this hotel

I would like to apologize that this was not the case for you and your friends. Based on the feedback you have provided, I have followed up your raised concerns with the team and would like to share with you the outcome of the internal investigation which will help to clarify these false allegations: The 3 rooms you and your friends booked at our hotel, were under three different online travel agents. All of the rooms were booked by you and your party individually. We received your booking via via the reservation system from the particular Online Travel Agent and were instructed to collect the payment from you upon check in. The team tried to explain more than once, that they have no influence on the price that is charged if you book over the Internet. Our usual check in time is at 14:00 hrs. Since you and your friends arrived in the morning, we did our best to cater towards your needs in preparing 3 rooms which had to be next to each other. I am glad to hear that we managed to give you the first room at 11:17 a.m so that you were able to freshen up. Last but not least dear Gaurav G, please be informed once again that every visitor at the hotel needs to be registered by law. This requirement was explained to you and your friends by our night shift manager. The fact that you were shouting and banging with your fists on our Front Office Counter as our CCTV reveals, does not change the rules and regulations we have in place. We do hope that you overall enjoyed your stay with us and would like to thank you once again for your kind understanding in the aforementioned matters.

It's our first time to stay in this hotel. Very clean, bed comfy, staff friendly. Breakfast til' 11am. If travelling as a couple ask for extra key as you need it all the time like going to the pool or gym which is on the rooftop. Ten minutes walk to the beach ( Ask towels at the front desk). You don't get bored coz there's lots of little shops on the way. Also few minutes walk to the local fresh market and the big shopping mall Jungceylon. We had a great stay. Highly recommended.

mensch222, Singapore, Singapore 31/08/2018

2nd time staying here. Rooms are clean, of a good size and comfortable. Staff at front desk and breakfast always friendly and welcoming during my stays. Rooftop pool is beautiful and happy hours 1 for 1 from 4pm to 6pm were great. Lady at the bar was very helpful. It does get a bit crowded in the late afternoon. Location is perfect. Just across the street from Soi Sansabai. Few minutes to Bangla Road or Jungceylon shopping mall. Lots of shops, convenience stores, restaurants nearby. Saw a review that mentioned 1 key card is given but did not have any issues requesting a second one. Breakfast is okay. Had breakfast 3 times and only on 1 day they had some ham and cheese, which was a bit disappointing. Some guests mentioned the front desk werent too professional but i saw them handle a group of aggressive and loud drunk guests arguing about bringing extra guests to their rooms. I thought they managed it very professionally considering the guests were banging their fists on the counter. Unfortunately, these guests were staying on the same floor as me, so it was difficult getting a good sleep due to the constant banging of doors and shouting along the corridor. All said, cant fault the hotel for crazy guests. I did not have this issue during my first stay. Would still recommend this hotel as one of the best for the location, rooms and service. And prices were very reasonable during the off-season.

I have to admit to having been a little concerned with a few of the reviews I had read before going to Bestwestern Pa tong but from the moment we arrived, the staff, the facilities, the food... everything was perfect! We arrived at 9am and were aware this was early for check in and expected a delay. We were instantly informed that our room wasn't ready yet and that we were being spend time at swimming pool by Front office Manager , Thanks. The staff at reception were wonderful at all times, all happy, smiling and very accommodating (Aun ,Ploy, Mo,Wut). The buffet breakfast was an absolute treat! We also had a buffet dinner which was amazing! The facilities were 1st class. The swimming pool was amazing, . The fitness centre was huge enough for us and Mr. Tristan recommend us for use it. Everything about this place was just perfect and if/when we go back to Phuket, I wouldn't hesitate to stay at Bestwestern Patong again. We certainly got more than our money's worth!!

NoorZealand, Singapore, Singapore 26/08/2018

To be honest, I initially had some reservations about Best Western Patong Beach due to some negative reviews I read. However after staying for 4 nights, I have to agree with other reviewers about this hotel's plus point - the superb location that is just a street away from Bangla Rd, 5 mins walk to Jungceylon Mall and plenty of dining options around! A wellness spa complex "Let's Relax" is also just next to the hotel. I had the best relaxation time and ended up going there more than to the beach itself! ?? (Btw, it's an easy 7-10 mins walk to the beach...) To recap my personal view on Best Western Patong Beach... GOOD: - Great location - without a doubt! - Efficient and prompt email communication from Reservation and Front Office Manager. - Hospitable and helpful bellhop guys. - Clean and cosy room. -Good water pressure from the rain shower. - Travel desk available at the lobby.(The lady manning the counter is so accommodating in assisting with all kind of tour bookings, car rental, airport transfers, etc). - Good breakfast spread and served till 11am late. Just love the french toasts and the pancake machine with it's freshly made yummy fluffy pancakes! BAD: - Rude front office staffs which is somewhat unbecoming for someone in this line. Being an airline/hospitality employee myself, I find this behaviour very appalling. Good thing I was prepared for this (from reading the negative reviews), so when one staff actually raised her voice at me for not understanding some of her unintelligible words during check-in, I just let it pass as to not spoil my holiday mood. ?? - Only 1 key card given. This inflexibility caused some hassles for me and my husband. Eg, when he went out for a smoke or swim up on the rooftop pool and I am sleeping in the room. (Card need to remain in the wall slot for electric power and the very same card is also needed in to access the elevator). - Lightings along the rooms corridor too dim and could pose safety issues/hazards. (Photo attached). - Rooms not soundproofed. Loud conversations, sounds of door slamming, knockings can be heard almost daily. - Unstable wifi signals. - Limited TV channels. A channel with English movies is available, but alas been dubbed into Thai. ?? All in all, Best Western Patong Beach is still a great place to stay. It has a lot of potentials if improvements were made on the weak areas and their staffs' customer service skills. (Btw just sharing in case this might serve as a tip for anyone: My first 3 nights were booked from a third party site. When I approached the front office to extend another 1 night, I was quoted a higher rate and they wouldn't match the third party site which is still giving the much lower rate for the same extended date. So I guess, it's better to book from OTA than from hotel directly...)

"Prime Location. Excellent Rooms. Amazing Breakfast. Rooftop Pool. Great Vacation Hotel."

Raymond G, San Francisco, California 20/08/2018

The Best Western Patong Beach is literally the best situated hotel in the area. The hotel has an inviting lobby that is modern, sleek and has an abundance of staff to check you in or answer questions you may have about your stay. The rooms all come with balconies, English television channels, strong air-conditioning and ample lighting. I really liked the rainfall showers in the bathroom because they are large. The hotel offers free wireless internet to guests and I would highly recommend booking a breakfast deal because it is well worth the value. I really loved the made to order omelette station, but rest assured, there are also other Western and Asian delicacies to please your appetite. There is a large pool on the roof that overlooks the area and is very relaxing after a long day. There is even part of the pool that has jacuzzi jets and seats to relax in while you pass your vacation away in bliss. The gym is nice and has both cardio and free weights. The tour desk in the lobby is great and offers competitive pricing. Like I said, the best part of the hotel is not only the staff, accommodations and amenities, but the location. The hotel is a five-minute walk to the main bar/club street known as Bangla Road. There is also a mall and supermarket about 3 minutes walking distance from the hotel to buy drinks and snacks. 24 hour McDonalds and Burger King is also attached to this mall. The beach is about a 10 minute walk as well. The hotel is by far the best value for your money in Patong Beach. If you want a relaxing modern room within the heart of Patong for an excellent price, this is the place.

We only stayed here for one night, the staff were friendly and the rooms were clean. However don't plan on getting any sleep, you can hear everyone who walks past in the hallway, slamming of doors and very loud shouting until the early hours. There is a nice pool on the rooftop, with tasty cocktails.

Just got back from a family holiday in Thailand. Had a great stay at the Best Western in Patong. The location is ideal, close to the action (restaurants,shopping,markets and bars)but far enough away so still quiet. The staff were great and the kids loved the buffet breakfast. The daily routine was a trip to the gym a quick dip in the pool, shower and straight down for breakfast. Will definitely be back, hopefully soon.?? Daron Madur

938aarona, CHICAGO, United States 27/07/2018

The guest service agent lady Jenngergn (sorry is I misspelled) wasn't very helpful or understanding. I spilt the room with my friend and he left earlier than I did. He was responsible for his own charges and I was to be responsible for my own. I was paying baht and he was charging to the room. When I inquired about late checkout, she let me know there were charges to the room and I have told her that those were my friends and not mine and should be going to his Credit card. She rudely let me know that my friend said I would pay for it. I said I would talk to him to confirm and when I did she still RUDELY said no. She was visibly upset with me and displayed no empathy!!!!! The duty manager didn't seem to care either. I was basically brushed off and told they cant charge unless he signs. They also took a copy of my friends Credit Card, but it was a bad copy which is way I think it refused to want to help me!

The location, the pool and the rooms all looked pretty great which had raised the expectations from this hotel while booking.

883avau, Melbourne, Australia 15/07/2018

I Recently traveled from Australia to stay at The Bestwstern Patong for 1 weeks. I found it was an amazing place, fantastic service and really nice staff (Fai,Mo). The Buffet breakfast is a must and the pool bar is an obvious definite win to beat the heat. One of the best things I found during my stay was the onsite taxi service, particularly one Taxi driver who I wish I met earlier than I did, Ms.Jutarat, She really made the whole trip worthwhile, not only did she get us to our destinations avoiding all the bad traffic areas but she showed us some really cool sites and was so much fun to travel with, a real laugh a minute and you just couldn't help but smile the whole time. So if you find yourself at the Bestwestern Patong and in need of a taxi ask For Ms. Jutarat (she the one in reservation department),it will be the best taxi ride you will have in you whole trip.

The location of the hotel is superb. The rooms are a bit small. The pool is also relatively small but it's on the terrace. It's 800 mtr from the famous bangla road(walking street). The breakfast buffet wasn't nice for vegetarians.. They even did not allow you to take a coffee outside.

williamcN799XE, california, United States 08/07/2018

I would first like to say WOW! Having stay at Bestwestern Patong!! The price you pay for the value earned at this hotel is over the top amazing! Starting with check-in Ms. Jutarat greeted me with a warm Thai Smile and acknowledge that I was traveling with a group of others who had checked in hours before my arrival. Ms. Jutarat acknowledged me as an Member and had my room ready right away which is a plus as I wanted to hit the ground running in Phuket! I was on the 4th floor and my room was great had 2 beds for my roommate and clean not a spot to be seen. The shower is truly amazing full of power for the hot days of Thailand to cool off! Also a balcony in every room. Breakfast at this Bestwestern Patong is quite good. From 6:30am to 1030am there was eggs was daily along with other hot food options, and breads and cereals, fresh fruits and salad, with many juices such as Orange. I will say that you wont go hungry and there is something for everyone there The breakfast staff changes daily as all employees work all customer focused groups ie. Front Desk, Lobby, Breakfast Hall in the Great Room! The Hotels location close with everything. This hotel staff is truly one of a kind, the guests are quite demanding and at times rude but the staff conducts themselves with grace and overall niceness. I will say that my experience was sooo great I didn't want to leave so I booked another 2 nights. The night before my checkout, I saw Ms. Jutarat and told her that I had booked another room for the next 2 nights and if I could get a same room and she said yes! She noted my reservation and consulted with the team to ensure my needs were meeting. The next morning I checked out and rechecked in with Mr. Jaturanon who was in training, and He was so eager to help and gave me a courtesy call when my room was ready! This hotel has everything from the pool to the laundry and the atmosphere experience you cannot be upset at this place. I already booked another stay for August as this will be my go to vacation spot! Please never change! and Thanks for the wonderful vacation!

I have selected the hotel because of service on their previous guest reviews. The hotel was reasonable price for a friend group stay in. I did really satisfactions with the staff, there were so helpful upon arrival at almost midnight I have met with a bell boys and the front desk agent (gentleman, on the left side by the counter), he was so helpful and lot of information assistant. The room was cozy and comfortable with fully well set up of room amenities; mini bars are chargeable. The swimming pool was really nice if it has no rain, it was located on the 7th floor/roof top...so I did enjoyed the pool on that time too. I walked to Patong Beach within 5 minutes distance, just across Bangla night street market. Breakfast were so varieties and excellent service from the service staff in the restaurant. Thank you for the management to groom their staff in the exceeded service mind and I will be back again :) Only one negative thing that was the draining system in toilet (Room 431). I have finished the shower at night time but unfortunately the water couldn't drained in shower zone and toilet zone. Need to wait until the water completely drain.

Kiwitravellers0418, Auckland Central, New Zealand 13/05/2018

We stayed at Best Western Patong in late April and were totally overwhelmed with the warm atmosphere we received. From the moment we arrived til the moment we checked out we felt the staff at the hotel were doing there utmost to ensure we had a great stay. The hotel and pool cleanliness were to an extremely high standard. They a very generous size rooftop infinity pool with a great view. There was a great selection at the daily breakfast and plenty for everyone. BW Patong is very conveniently located to the beach, Bangla Road, Jungceylon, and the local markets. The hotel is extremely good value and highly recommend the hotel. We will be booking there again when we next next go to Phuket

Lenthiss, Pretoria, South Africa 12/05/2018

Only stayed for one nigh at the hotel. The hotel is clean and located close to Bangla Road. The rooms are basic , unfortunately my shower broke , which lead me to believe that the fittings in the hotel are below standard. Food and drinks at the hotel are a little expensive but there are a lot of restaurants outside the hotel, its Patong after all. The staff are also not that friendly, accept on lady who's name I cannot recalled, who assisted us with our baggage. She totally amassing smiling constantly. Whilst I did give the hotel a 3 I would stay here again due to its locality.

I stay May 1 for 5 day was good service. The staffs are very friendly (aon) and helpful ( Fakru). Rooms are very clean. Pool was at the roof top. The location of the hotel is great and very central. Near to night market where you can find sea food and local food at affordable price. 5 mins walk to Jungceylon mall, and 10 mins to Bangla road. Easy to find taxi and tuk tuk. There is a lot of small counter selling Island trip package around this Hotel. If you are boxing lover, the hotel is near to Boxing stadium. There is a lot of convenient shop near to this hotel, 7-Eleven and Family Mart. Overall I was very satisfied of my experience at the hotel.

"The worst experience in a international hotel chain"

ching628, Malaysia 29/04/2018

First, all the staff that we had met, no one greet and smile to us, only concierge staff greet and talk to us. The worst part is the front desk staff, never smile to guest, even throw the room key to me when I ask for extra room key, as only one room key provided, it's really inconvenient to us. Really bad service provided by the front desk receptionist. And when we want to check out, i had called to request for late check-out. But the staff answer was no, no late check out with scolding tones. Why can't just inform to me properly? And the WiFi was very slow and keep disconnecting. For the room, the toilet door cannot be lock, and most of the things didn't refill or replace after cleaning such as toiletries, towel, paper napkin and bottled water. And when we first check in, the floor is not clean, there was sands on the floor. The facilities in the room even less than a budget hotel, no slipper, bathrobes and no umbrella in the room and the front desk as well. There are many improvement needed for this hotel and I will never return to this hotel again.

Very nice buffet breakfast.free. Great way to start your day. One of our favorite parts of our vacation. Only a few blocks walk to all the exciting bars, restaurants, shopping, and massage parlors.

khjafarpouran, London, United Kingdom 12/04/2018

It's all started on end of February when I decided to book hotel for my holiday in patong Thailand stupidly I went to best western hotel web site .that's where my nightmare start the web site showed me 243£ for 8 days between 11 April to 19 of April which I booked.and what big mistake which I hope none of you out there do it.on 11 of April I went to the hotel and first thing they told me was we didn't charge your card on February they charge me 348£On 11th April it like I never booked my stay and I am paying the full price.that's what I call scam by best western hotel.when I contacted the office in England they put me on waiting for 12 minuets I contacted them 5 time but at end they give me a number in America which is wrong number.best western company is big money making scam please don't fall for it and learn from me .now about the hotel I come to my room and air conditioning doesn't work bugs all over the wall.there are so many Chinese in the swimming pool I couldn't even go inside so rode noisy I just decided forget about swimming pool.please don't believe those good reviews I think they are fake.the worth part is I have to stay here another 5 days but you have choice just not to book it.

jonesg982, Sao Paulo, Brazil 10/04/2018

Hello readers, A great excuse to stay in Patong. As someone who knows a bit Phuket I thought to book 2 rooms at the Bestwestern Patong Phuket. My reasons were the following: - Located close with Bangla Road - Located near a Shopping Mall which - Nightclub . I have to say that I am not disappointed at all as I was able to enjoy above three points, however I will highlight some "details" to have into consideration in case you have very high expectations: Check in was Friendly and Quite Fast. I have to say that the room wasn't bad as bedding was comfortable, clean and smell like brand new. The other facility within the hotel we visited was the Mana restaurant for the included Breakfast. Nothing special but cool. Parking is very convenient as is Free. Once again, all staff was attentive, perfect service from Reception, Room Service, and Housekeeping, along other. If I have to stay again I will most likely stay at Best Western Patong again.

Stayed here for 5 days with my wife, LOVED IT. The location is amazing, the hotel itself is amazing as well. Yes, I was a bit concerned when they asked to take a copy of my credit card, but being such a big chain I highly doubt anyone's card details will be misused. Besides this, the breakfast was really good and pretty reasonable considering the prices at good restaurants in phuket. Will definitely visit again.

User 24/03/2018

Actually staying there at the 6th floor. Check in was long, they also take credit card print as deposit, so basically you give your card information, it would be better to propose a cash deposit for choices. Only 2 elevators for large number of people. Overall the room is ok with ikea style decoration. Poor amenities in bathroom, only 1 soap and 1 small shower & shampoo bottle. No toothbrush, comb, Q-tips.... My partner had been locked in bathroom at 2am, we spend 30 minutes to try to unlock the door, then someone was sent to open it after I called. Open but not fix. What would happen if a solo traveler? Locked in bathroom until next afternoon when Housekeeper will make up the room? All rooms are non smoking, have balcony also forbidden to smoke and actually the windows are locked, so it's not accessible. 2 Smoking areas, 1 outside the hotel near the car park under the sun, 1 at the 7th floor also under the sun and closed at evening :( not cleaned regularly. A lot of groups in the hotel, so be ready to be awake at 6.30am as many guests shout in the corridors. Then after a while you will heard the maids chatting loudly.... Breakfast very basic, no cold cut nor cheese, pastries are tasteless, fruits were not sweet, fruits salad made by the same fruits + red dragon and orange juice, means very sour. Cracked salt and pepper shakers. After people left, the waitresses clean the tables putting their fingers inside used glasses, and chatting most of the time. Roof top, the swimming pool is nice but no umbrella nor shadow parts, with black wooden floor which is foot burning. The girl at the bar is unfriendly and doesn't like to be disturbed while she play on phone. No management visible in any departments. Overall not a good stay, careless, no eyes for details, operations not well driven. I'm myself in hospitality in South Thailand nearby phuket, my resort might be not reputed as Best Western is but we do care our guests journey.

Jeanlabtech, Manchester, United Kingdom 22/03/2018

Excellent hotel, good choice of breakfast, close to beach and bars, room was cleaned every day, the only reason I gave this hotel 4out of 5 is that the pool is dangerous, very slippy tiled steps with very sharp edges, on entering the pool nothing to hold onto, my husband did slip on our second day was very badly bruised and in pain for the rest of the holiday on a daily basis we either saw or was told of other people who had slipped and hurt themselves

Stayed here for a night while on business. Check in was speedily attended to & the room was both spacious & clean. Based on the aesthetics, there must have been a recent renovation. While the room was decent, breakfast was a very simple affair which served merely to fill the stomach and nothing more.... given the offerings around Patong, I would venture that it's a fairly good deal based on the price.

Bj L, Surfers Paradise, Australia 28/02/2018

This hotel is fairly new and its in a good location as its about 8 to 10 mins walk from Bangla Rd with all the bars clubs and nightlife. The rooms are small compared to a number of other hotels in Patong and in Asia the beds are all firm and some are rock hard. The beds here are certainly on the harder side of things and this makes it hard for a good nights rest. The shower has reasonable pressure, however the towels are very poor quality tatty and feel like a mild sandpaper which is poor. There is a tiny balcony which is useless as there is no view and its so narrow you can barely stand out on it and defiantly could not sit on it and relax. The house keeping here is very poor and they never clean the toilets, they dont replace the soap or toilet paper and I would give housekeeping 2 out of 10 compared to many others around. The location is good but this place needs a wake up call as the housekeeping is terrible and there are many other places for a similar price or cheaper nearby that simply leave this place for dead in housekeeping and a number of other factors. There are far better value hotels around where you get better value for money and more comfortable rooms

Jeffsreview, Surfers Paradise, Australia 27/02/2018

A newish hotel and location is quite good with it being only a short walk from the night life and Bangla Rd The rooms are small compared to a number of other rooms I've stayed at in Thailand . In Asia the beds are firm compared to western standards and some much more so than others and this one certainly is on the hard side. I found the beds very firm and the pillows hard and uncomfortable. The shower has a rain fall head and a handheld wand and the shower pressure was ok but the annoying thing was the temp kept going hot and cold all of the time. The towels are very poor quality and the lighting in the bathroom is very dim and rather inadequate. The housekeeping is very poor. Staff do not replace soap, shampoo or toilet paper and they don't clean the toilet. Totally unacceptable in a hotel. The housekeeping is sub standard and is totally inadequate. The TV is hopeless for English-speaking people as there is only about four channels which all repeated news channels which repeat over and over every couple of hours every day. The selection of channels is atrocious. They have free wi fi in the lobby and in the rooms & there's free tee & coffee and a jug to boil water in your room. The fridge is a small but works well and keeps things at a good temperature unlike some that team too make it impossible to keep things cold. The rooms are advertise with a balcony which is misleading as its a very narrow balcony that is about 30 cm wide so you cant go out and sit on it and there was no view to look at so it was disappointing. The rooms and bedding is clean and the location of the hotel is very good as it's only one block away from Bangla road yet it's far enough away to avoid all the noise and hustle and bustle from the nightclubs and strip shows. The hotel is ok but housekeeping is very poor and you can do a lot better for money in surrounding areas. However I will say you can get a good sleep here as its far enough away from Bangla Rd so as you dont hear the doof doof music going right through the night from the night life. There are much better value for money hotels in the area.

Coimbrathetraveller, Nairobi 21/02/2018

Patong has changed significantly since my previous visit there and it is now more crowded than ever and catering to a different market, at least in the November/December season. Best Western is located in a convenient place, away from the noise of Bangla Road and right next to the evening market and Jungceylon Mall. It is reasonably priced for a 3.5-star hotel. It's clean and functional, with all the necessary amenities. Staff are quite friendly and the doorman,the lady at the tour desk and one f the trainees at the front desk were especially friendly.

Location was perfect as it was 2 or 3 minutes walk from Bangla Road (main bar strip) and several food markets.

We arrived late afternoon and check in took around 10 minutes. A bell boy took us to our room and we were amazed for service .A very polite and almost excellent service. Our view of the top pool nice. Our favorites being the reception (Nang,tae,Mo)as it was friendly, good take and smile.. I honestly think that anyone that complains about the minor details should just stay home. Breakfast was very busy unless you went early and let's fact it, if you're on holidays you want to sleep in. And most of them have limited English but remember you are in THEIR country, if that's going to be a problem for you stay in yours! We had a wonderfully time and would go back in a heartbeat.

From the moment we were picked up from airport phuket was a great thrill for me. Bestwestern Patong looked after us in every way. Super friendly and helpful staff to great facilities including beautiful swimming pools and the most amazing buffet breakfast. Sitting in the pool bar drinking a thai beer was great. Lovely modern and spacious rooms and lots of smiling friendly staff would always greet you. the most beautiful people i have ever met are thai. loved the hotel, loved the country, loved the people, loved the culture. i will be back next year.

"Rude staff at reception"

skawadh, Bhubaneswar, India 12/02/2018

I stayed there for four nights in January 2018. My experience is summarized below. Pros: New property, Good location. Patong beach, Bangla Road are at walking distance. Neat and clean. It is close to many restaurants, Jungceyon shopping mall and 7-11 store. Breakfast spread was good and staff in restaurants were very helpful. CONS: Staff at reception mainly two ladies behaved very rudely. I asked for tea and creamer and they refused and told that sufficient supply was given. I experienced this for the first time and this too in a four star category hotel. Language is a big issue. I think reception should be manned by people comparatively fluent in English. Rooms are very small. In this hotel they do not have separate no. for housekeeping. You have to route it through reception and hence service is delayed. There should be a separate housekeeping no. I had earlier stayed at Ramada, Karon Beach and had a comparatively better experience. Here, they need to improve service like house keeping and behaviour of staff at reception.

Had 10 nights at this hotel in January and cannot fault it. The location is great walking distance to beach and shops. Roof top pool, gym, breakfast, wifi and rooms were all great. Amazing staff so happy and helpful. Highly recommend this hotel.

+Location close to the jungceylon mall where you can find lots of good restaurants +clean and nicely decorated rooms +swimming pool when it's not crowded by groups yelling and splashing everywhere -breakfast: large options but not qualitative enough -7th floor supposed to be quiet is actually a mess as the swimming pool is there -noisy due to slamming doors and street noises

Check-in was smooth. We received a room on a high floor, far from the elevator, far away from the front street, as we asked for. A/C worked excellent. The rainfall shower was awesome! However, our room was on the same floor as the swimming pool. As they keep the door open to the swimming pool all the time, the sound echoes all the way down the hallway, all the time. When the pool finally closes at 8pm, we thought we would have a break from the noise. But no, sounds of people talking and doors slamming reverberate down the hallway all night long. This is because the halls don't have carpet to dampen the sound, and the doors do not close softly. Something really needs to be done about this! We wanted to like the breakfast. We really did. We are not picky people. But this breakfast was not good at all. The lineup for eggs was usually 10 Chinese people deep, and when you finally did get your eggs, there was nowhere to sit. Fried rice was gross, French toast was ice cold, no bacon, no ham, no peanut butter for toast. These are 3 items of international standard. I understand why they don't have them, because the Chinese people are like vultures here. We only had breakfast at BW twice in one week, too crowded, restaurant too small. We chose to go out and eat, even though we had to pay for it. Also, the elevators were stifling hot! Hard to breathe. Can't imagine if one ever got stuck. This is a pretty important safety issue in my eyes. A few bright spots here. Siriwan at the tour desk was very helpful, and got us an affordable tour to Phi-Phi islands. She took care of everything, and was so nice and pleasant. Also, the swimming pool was quite nice to relax and have a drink and a snack during happy hour. We will not be staying at Best Western Patong again, due to the excessive noise from the other low class guests who seem to have no etiquette. It's pretty bad when you have to sleep with earplugs, and you still can't sleep because it's too loud. Very unfortunate.

Swasdee Best Western Patong. We had a great time at this property during Last week of Jan'18. We zeroed upon this hotel on the basis of Tripadvisor ratings and glad we did it. It is really one of the “Best” in Patong. Firstly excellent location. Bangla road, Jungceylon Mall, Banzaan Fresh Market, Food Street all are within minutes' walk. Numbers of seven eleven stores, Massage parlors, Pharmacies are in vicinity. Apart from the location the hospitality of the Staffs are really praiseworthy. Got a warm welcome upon check in and during our stays we got all the help from the staffs whenever required. Our allotted room was with two separate beds, they joined to make it large one once requested. All the staffs were lively and friendly. A special mention required of Madam Siriwan of front travel desk. She was of so much help, though we did not make booking our island trips through hotel, she personally inquired and ensured our timely pick up by the vehicles. Breakfast spread was good and tasty. Room was clean and size was ok. The rooftop pool was excellent and we enjoyed it very much. Really I have not found any major flaws in this property. Many reviewers have mentioned of Chinese guests, yes they were majority of the occupants in this hotel but they found to be quite polite and gentle. Many people mentioned of water clogging at the bathrooms, yes that is an issue but trivial one. But they can think over providing at least the combs & dental kit in the rooms and quality of Bathroom towels may be improved. Over all a very nice experience. Thank you all the staffs of Best Western Patong to make our trip memorable one. Definitely recommended and will plan to visit again.

"Great holiday hotel !!!"

This was a great experience close to the center of patong beach.mall was great,be beach also close.the front desk staff and bell hops we're very efficient and promptly answered all all questions. We also enjoyed the restaurants.The waitresses helped my wife get some food pellets so she could feed the Koi fish that swam around the most. Very cool!! The rooftop pool offered a great view of the strip. We would definitely stay again.

Jeff T, gold coast 24/01/2018

The Best Western Patong Beach is a reasonably new hotel but has a number of issues and subsequently doesn't really come up to scratch. After reading some reviews I thought we would give it a try but I can only say the people who wrote the good reviews don't have much experience in travel as this hotel doesn't come up to scratch for the money The rooms are small as far as the size of rooms in most Thailand hotels are concerned. The beds very firm and the pillows hard and uncomfortable. The shower has a rain fall head and a handheld wand and the shower pressure is average and is very inconsistent and keeps going hot and cold all of the time. The towels are poor quality and the lighting in the bathroom is very dim so very awkward for someone trying to shave or for girls trying to put on makeup. The housekeeping is very poor and they do not replace soap, shampoo or toilet paper and they don't clean the toilet. The housekeeping staff need a good wake-up and a kick in the pants as the job they perform is totally inadequate. The TV is hopeless for English-speaking people as there is only about four channels which all repeated news channels which repeat over and over every couple of hours every day. The selection of channels is atrocious. The swimming pool is kept reasonably clean but again there was issues with housekeeping as there is no one out at the pool with towels until 11 a.m. therefore you have to go down to reception and try and get a towel while they are checking people in and out. The glass surrounds around the swimming pool are filthy and has not been cleaned in weeks. The pool area is pleasant and the pool temperature is good There's free wi fi in the lobby and in the rooms & there's free teen coffee and a jug available in the room. The fridge is a small by fridge but keeps things at a good temperature unlike some that team too make it impossible to keep things cold. The balcony??? Is a tiny balcony you can barely stand on its not contusive to sitting out on and relaxing that is not possible The rooms and bedding is clean and the location of the hotel is very good as it's only one block away from Bangla road yet it's far enough away to avoid all the noise and hustle and bustle from the nightclubs and strip shows. My overall impression is the hotel is clean and in a very good location and is okay for a couple of nights but housekeeping and a number of issues make this place fair to average at best.

Razieh, Esfahan, Iran 20/01/2018

We spent three nights at this hotel. There were positive and negative points. Overall it was relaxing, nice, tidy and worth the money. It is located in the middle of the city. 5 minutes walk to walking street. Everything is near the hotel so no need for taking a taxi except for city tours. Breakfast was acceptable. Omlets were delicious. Nice staff in the restaurant. Wi-Fi had a good quality except for disconnection gaps especially at nights.

I would like to say that good experienced from your hotel with colleagues. I've stayed with my family by Hana tour. Housekeeper who work on 6th floor so nice with kindness. First thing, we requested extra Key card because we needs extra Keycard. My uncle stayed with my grandmas but sometimes he had to go to outside for smoke. That's why we requested extra keycard. Is it true? ..1 room provide 1 key ?.. i don't think so.. That's why we made some noisy whole floor. I'm apologize for another guest on 6th floor. Another thing is made me more upset. When i checked out for my family rooms, i've checked Minibar with smoking fee by rooms and i said to your colleagues “ Can i see the combine bill ? “ and then your staff (Kh. Kkao?) show me amount on calculator “ 2,787 “. I felt some strange why is it too much... and then i requested again “Can i get combine bill ?” And he stolen calculator , show me again the bill. You know, price is 2,169(something). And i just knew he tried to tricky from Korean people. And i just complained to your manager, she is a Duty manager, she told me that “your so mean, this amount is correct, he didn't do it” something like that... you know i can speak English and Thai as well. But Kh. Kkao (he is look ladyboy) spoke to slang like “E- sak/sat”. I realized that Many Koreans came to your hotel, they thought we can speak english same as Chinese, action like do it..... it's not good at all.... To. General manager I don't know your foreigner or Local. But you should training for your colleagues. This not hotel service. Kh. Kkao have to work from outside, duty manager as well. NO RESPONSIBILITY.!!!!!!!!

Sumana M, Bangalore, Karnataka, India 06/01/2018

Situated in the heart of Patong. Junceylon mall , Patong beach, lot of restaurants and pubs are easily accessible by a few metres of walk. Best western Patong beach is a comfortable hotel with a decent restaurant. There's no AC in the waiting lounge, restaurant and reception area. That's seriously something I really disliked about this place given that Phuket is humid all round the year. Rooms are comfortable and quite small. Indeed well maintained and tidy. The bed is comfy for a good sleep after long flight hours. There's a small balcony too.. no great views though. Room service is good. There were a lot of Indians in our hotel at Bangkok but here we found almost none. But the breakfast buffet spread is good for vegetarians. There are a few Indian restaurants nearby as well like Madras cafe, Indian curry club etc.

The hotel is very close to the walking street and main market so you will get alot of options for food. Rooms were nice but balcony was very small. The hotel is miniacally strict about non smoking. I dumped an empty cigarette box in the room's dustbin and they ended up charging me TBH 1000 for this. I didn't smoke in the room just dumped the empty box. Hospitality is not up to the mark. I left my key once in the room and it took couple of visits to reception to get the room opened. Breakfast was average.

Having done extensive searching and comparisons with other hotels, I picked this hotel finally and I absolutely made an excellent choice. This was my first time to bring with my 21-month baby travelling overseas and what I needed was that the hotel near Jungceylon as my baby goes to restaurants there to have his meals. All the staff is really nice. They greeted and said hello to us when we went out and came back to the hotel every time. Staff in the front desk is friendly and helpful too. They had lovely smiles all the time. They even proactively asked your opinions about their services and the hotel. The staff (Aun,ploy) of the front desk played with my son patiently. We really do appreciate their services.

User 03/01/2018

Full marks for location, the hotel is barely a 5 minutes walk from walking street and 8-10 minutes from main area of Patong Beach. Bars, restaurants, pubs start bang opposite the hotel, you will never need a cab! If you are going to Phuket, this is the area to be staying in. The other good thing is the rooftop pool, small but pleasant, nicely done with a bar. The place is generally clean. Breakfast is well laid out and had a lot of variety. Please note few rooms would face the main road and could get noisy and disturbing in the night, but if you enjoy the hustle bustle and the lights, like we did, no issues else you could ask for a room not facing the road. However, service leaves a lot to be desired. Basic service attitude is missing, they won't even smile at you, housekeeping would forget to clean properly. Small ant armies could be found in the room. But I think they can do a lot to inculcate basic service elements. Example - at the breakfast table they will notice you are standing looking for a place, but won't help or pretend not having seen you. Like I said smile would be rare. Also, please be sure that you check the minibar, they charged us 95 Bahts for a chocolate we never consumed, it's not about the money, I paid so much for two rooms for 4 nights in the peak season, no hotel would not believe you if you tell them you didn't consume it! But they insisted. In summary, they need serious training intervention. Net net, lovely and convenient location, decent hotel. But I would give three stars because of my service experience.

1Lokesh, Mumbai, India 02/01/2018

We booked for 2 nights and were with a kid. The only thing good about this hotel is it's location. Worst thing? Actually many. Topmost was that the bathroom area has very poor drainage. During our entire stay the bathroom would get flooded every time we used it. Even the sink gets overflowing whenever used. Complained at front desk many times but nothing was done other than blatant lies that it has been fixed. Finally they accepted and told us that it's a problem in all the rooms due to some slope issue in the drainage system of the hotel. Refer attached pics. Next, the lock in bathroom doesn't work. Traveling with kids? Avoid it. Another bad part of this hotel is it's breakfast. Most of the things got over well before the breakfast ending time. Every day, at least during our stay. And the staff couldn't care less. All they had to say was “finished”. Unapologetically. Final word, we regret staying here.

Close to everything. Jungceylon mall, Bangla walking street all within 10 mins walk away. The beach is a little further along Bangla road, but not very far. Lots of shops, restaurants, coffee shops, and bars in the close vicinity. Seems to be a very popular hotel with tourists. Hotel building is modern. Hotel room was modern and clean. I enjoyed my stay here. There is a tour desk on the ground floor by the reception. They are very useful to book day tours to many sites and taxi booking to airport.

Pamela_Saha, Mumbai, India 27/12/2017

The location of the hotel is a major plus. A walk across the road through the famous Bangla street takes you to Patong beach. Coming to the hotel itself , though the views are nothing great, some rooms look out to staff washrooms of neighbouring property. If you are travelling with a child you may opt for Joint twin beds instead of a double bed. The joint twin beds will give you at least 30%extra bed space. Reception staff not the most welcoming. Some even showed visible displeasure when we wanted to change our allotted room. Breakfast spread was OK . Breakfast starts early at around 6 am as with majority of Phuket and Krabi hotels. The rooftop pool was good and my little one had a great time there. Overall OK if you don't mind the smaller points.

We have been here for one week, during Christmas and I can say that it worth the money. First I want to start with Siriwan, the lady that sits at the desk on the right side (the desk with all the island trips), she simply deserves all the 5 stars from this review. We booked all trips with her at a very good price, and beside this service, she was very helpful with advices and has taken really good care for us. I HIGHLY recommend her if you stay here!!! She is THE BEST! The hotel is situated very central, few minutes walk from Bangla Street, 7 elevens and everything you would want to try in Patong (massages, restaurants, food market which is really good). There was a great variety for breakfast which we really loved here. The pool is nice, but we have been there only once as almost everyday we went visiting something. One bad thing here are the Chinese people, who could be really annoying and loud. There were quite many in this period. Anyway, everywhere in Phuket is full of them and nobody enjoys them, so I believe this problem is everywhere.

The location is amazing, 30 meters away from the beach, 15 minutes walking away from all the night life. The price is very accessible considering the prices in Phuket. All the facilities are very nice, the bed is so comfortable, the air conditioning works pretty well, the shower has very good pressure. All the staff is good serviced (Pakin, Tae ,Kel). The breakfast is free, it was not my taste but is enough for starting the day. If we come back to Phuket, this hotel will be our only option.

Zamong, Seoul, South Korea 07/12/2017

Best Western Patong is far from being perfect: it already looks tired and needs to be refurbished; the room is not immaculate. In the end, Best Western is not a luxury hotel brand. The room is quite spacious; the bathroom is nice; the shower has a very good water pressure. It has a nice swimming pool on the roof top. The breakfast is not bad either. In particular, its location is excellent. The shopping mall named Jungceylon is just around the corner. The Patong beach is easily accessible from the hotel. What can I ask for more? I would recommend this hotel to budget conscious travelers like me who still want some level of comfort and ambiance.

The staff were excellent,clean room, average breakfast, friendly staff (Aon, Hum, Pim, Ploy and bellman name Neang, Peaw), very fast check out.Near Jungceylon and Bangla street and famous local restaurant NO.6 (Chinese food), just walk about 10 minute. Thank you for everthing.

We arrived on Thanksgiving Day after spending a week in Bangkok. The staff has been fabulous. I want to extend a special thanks to Nitchaporn, Kriwut, Mein, Neng, Toh, Tangmo and Pawat . For the excellent service they provided for me and my friends. Any request was answered and if they didn't know the answer, they went above and beyond to find the answer. The hotel is beautiful and the location cannot be beat. Spacious rooms, love the shower head and the elevators are quiet and quick. As an American with a big suitcase, I would love to see a dresser placed in the room, so there is adequate room to put your clothes and you're not living out of a suitcase. The breakfast had a lot of options and Mana restaurant had a nice selection of Thai and international foods. So you could find a taste of home if you wanted. The BW is a great place to stay while in Phuket.

We were a party of 8 friends and family traveling together. We eere checked in quickly and politely by the very friendly front desk staff in the plesant open air lobby with adjacent restaurant. Uponarriving in our deluxe queen room, we noted how comfortable the bed was and a nice roomy shower with instant hot water. The complimentary breakfast had many more options than many other Best Westerns including a made to order omelet. Location was fantastic. Just a block or so off the beach and 'strip' with adult night life options. There is a concierge who has all info on local tour options. We found the swimming pool more than adequare size with great sunset views. The elevator came quickly. Room clenliness awesome. I would like to compliment Nitechaporn, Kwiwut, Mein, Neng, Toh, Tangmo and Pawat for their kind attention. My apologies if the spelling is not accurate.

"Good location but small pool"

JohnP72, London 26/11/2017

The location is good with less than 5 mins walk to the start of Bangla st. and about 10 mins to the beach. The hotel is just off a main street so supermarkets, atms, restaurants and massage places are all on your doorstep. The room was spacious with a nice walk in shower and all the amenities you would expect including a fridge, safe, coffee / tea and two free bottles of water daily. The only downsides for me was that I found the bed very hard (but that's a personal thing), and a poor selection of tv channels with only a couple in English. Some other reviewers mentioned noise but I stayed in mid November and had a room on the 7th floor which was quiet. At time of booking I asked for a quiet room on a high floor and the hotel kindly obliged by also giving me a room at the end of the corridor away from the lift. My booking didn't include breakfast which was charged at 300 TBH which was good value compared to having breakfast at a cafe or restaurant instead. There was a reasonable selection of western and Asian options and a chef on hand to cook eggs to order. There's also the Mana smokehouse Restaurant with an all you can eat offer for 399 TBH. I was surprised that not many people ate there as the prices and food were reasonable although there's a limited range on the menu. I used the Gym on the 7th floor next to the pool. It's air conditioned and the equipment includes a cross trainer, running machine and bike. They also have dumbbells up to 20kg in 2kg jumps, an adjustable bench and cable station with pull up bar, but no rope or bar attachments, just single handles. It was open until 8 pm. It was fine for a quick workout but if you want more facilities go to Maximum Fitness which is the best gym in Patong with excellent equipment (although pricey at 400 BHT for a workout). The pool is small and generally if you wanted a lounger you needed to arrive early. Other helpful amenities included a couple of pcs in reception with a printer, but they weren't really used as WiFi worked fine. In summary I think the hotel is a good option if you don't have a strong need for a large pool.

Dear JohnP72, Thank you for your review and I am glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay at BEST WESTERN Patong Beach, unfortunately as the pool in on the roof top we has sacrificed some size as it is on the roof and there is limited space available but our pool views make up for the smaller size pool ten fold as sunset is amazing up there. We look forward to welcoming you back again in the near future. Kind regards Jay Penno General manager

Our first time at Best Western Patong. This is a brand new hotel with good location, we didn't need a tuk tuk for anything everything for us was within a ten minute walk to the beach, 300 m from the night life & Night markets and shopping areas. The room was lovely and the cleaning staff are also fantastic. The staff (Aon and Ploy) at the lobby were very friendly. We had a wonderful holiday and will be going back again. It is so lovely to have the staff always have a ready smile and greeting. Loved it.

I stayed this hotel during my vacation in July, the hotel is look new, clean and beautiful, During my stayed Ms.Pinky help me a lot with information and solve all my problems that i had during stay. everything is great in over all, only to noisy during the night cuz all Chinese tourist making the noise all night long, I can hear their noise clearly even my room is quite far from them, all so in the gym, I recommended to bring you own headphone cuz they opened low ambient music in the gym that make you sleepy instead of alert you and this hotel very close to all important landmark in Patong Strongly recommended

Stayed here from 16th Nov 2017 for 5 nights and it was simply a fantastic stay. Staff were always smiling and friendly and ready to help. From the bell guys that will great each guests each time the leave or return to the hotel. All front desk staff had customer service (Pakin, Nung,Wut, Peal, Aon,kung) Room was always clean, location very good too. I was actually sick day before I left and there was a clinic (tourist clinic) just around next road.The front desk staff even offer to call the doctor for me but I decided to walk over instead. I would highly recommend Best Western Patong to all and I can't wait to be back again. This property really got it right.. to the management and a big thank you too all the wonderful staff..

We were in Phuket for BEST WESTERN PATONG were the perfect place to stay. Huge hotel, very modern, and very clean and stylish. and a nice normal balcony for a beverage. Nice small pool on rope top, when you want to keep cool. Very friendly staff. Great location, close to the beach, shopping more, and to the night life, but far enough away if you want to get away from it all. Highly recommend, I know we will be back!

Rooms are spacious, clean and quiet, pool is lovely, only downside is that the pool closes at 8pm which is too early, other than that it is a brilliant hotel and staff are so friendly

While at Best Western Patong we stayed in a hotel room with balcony. The room was clean and roomy for myself. The bathroom was a little dated but clean. The staff were always friendly and attentive to all our needs, they always said good morning and made us feel very relaxed. Breakfast was always lovely and there was always plenty of food and choices. We booked a couple of day trips with the tour desk at the hotel and tour desk staff were always very friendly and tried to get us the best deal. The amenities were great. The pools were clean and tidy and pool staff were there to attend to our requirements without being in your face. The grounds of the hotel were always well looked after, clean and very relaxing. We loved the location of the hotel as it was close to the main shopping area of Patong but still fairly quiet. Loved that there was a Joceylon near the hotel, and a good selection of eating places within a couple of minutes walk of the hotel. We were so impressed with the hotel (as this was our first trip to Thailand) that we are organizing another trip back there this year.

shirlovesk, Singapore, Singapore 15/11/2017

My girlfriend and I thought about having a relaxing holiday in Phuket. However, we planned for just a short trip and thought that it would not make financial sense if we were out of our hotel for most of the time. The obvious choice was Bestwestern Patong, given its good reputation, convenience and honestly for me, it represented the best value for money. It's a bit of a walk to the bustling night streets in Patong beach, but food and massage parlous are easily accessible within 5 minutes of walking time. Checking in and out was also a breeze and the staff is very patient and good English speakers they can advise more information in phuket (Fon,Keal,Poly).The bell boy"Pakin, Wut very polite and good service also. I would highly recommend it for travellers who are looking for affordable accommodation without scrimping on the quality of amenities. It's not a 5 star hotel, but you are guaranteed to have a good shower and sleep after all the fun you've had in Phuket.

It was a good place for night life. We found many pub&restaurant here. It's not difficult to find someting to eat, like seafoods, minimart, also shopping malls. It's better to plan before you go. Please check weather before you're planning because there are 2 seasons here, summer and raining.

I've been staying in Best western Patong around the world and they are all the same which is efficiently fabulous in Service and Location! This hotel also fell into that category which i can assure you, has one of the best location in Patong! It's not really on the crowded and noisy part of Patong or at the quite past of Patong. It's really centrally located and u can get to anywhere easily. The room was also fantastic in par with brand standard. It is very clean. The free Wi-Fi in the room was fast and furious. And the swimming pool was OK. Last but not least, The front desk " Aon , Mikel ,Pakin,Wut even that friendly, helpful looks great and greet you every time.

Lovely property - Great location The Best Western Hotel Resort is an awesome place to stay. The location is amazing. You are walking distance from Bangala street and can go there for all the action in the city. If you love food you just need to get on Ban Zaan and walk down the street next to it. You will be amazed at the options. The hotel pool is also great and the staff Ploy,Mikel,Tae and Mo really helpful.Talk to the staff there to help you with sight seeing options.The beach is also walking distance about 10 minutes. If you enjoy sea food try the restaurants outside the hotel.

The hotel was conveniently located, clean and staff were extremely helpful. Rooms were simple and comfortable. The only issue that I had with the hotel was the hallway noise.....as the hallways are not carpeted and the doors are quite thin, noise carries into your room quite easily and at times, making it difficult to sleep.

User 02/11/2017

I guess the hotel experience , this one in particular,depends on what you're looking for. If you're younger and adventurous, determined to have fun at the Bangla road, where all the action is, avoid this place. There are more ACCOMMODATING hotels around this place that cost same if not less. If you're with family, looking for a clean place to just relax and don't mind thin walls, noisy neighbors ,crowded pool and expensive menu this is the perfect place for you. Breakfast was good on day 1 and remained same without variety which made me hate it on day 5. WiFi was inconsistent and slower than most hotels that I stayed in. TV in the room is a joke, with just 20 all-boring-channels. I would not return to this hotel again.

Dear Kasyap N, Thank you for your feedback and I am sorry on this occasion we did not deliver the experience that you were looking for, even though Bangala Rd is walking distance we are generally focused on a family friendly hotel. So there are some restrictions when it comes to the "Bangala Rd experience" as you can see from the other feedback from other reviewers this seems to work for them. I do apologize for any inconvenience you or your guests may have incurred. Kind regards Jay Penno General Manager

I have just returned to Australia from my fourth visit to this great hotel. The staff are so efficient and obliging. Nothing is too much trouble for them. This starts at the reception desk and porters, right through to housekeeping, and of course the restaurant and breakfast staff, who all remember your favourite dishes and any previous requests you've made. And of course a GM who goes out of his way to make your stay so memorable. There is a great selection of both Tex- Mex and Thai food available in the restaurant and at prices that compare with any of the street food and markets. Try the smoky ribs, you won't be disappointed. The consistency of excellent clean rooms goes a long way in your choice to return here, along with it's close proximity to the large Jungceylon shopping centre, the night markets and Bangla Rd nightlife. And if you are in need of some quiet relaxation time, there is always the serenity of the roof top infinity pool and poolside bar. Well done Best Western Patong Beach, can't wait for my next visit.

sundeep67, New Delhi, India 17/10/2017

My review after having travelled around the globe is : 1) on day 1 I asked for a hand cream as I had forgotten one: though they have mentioned very clearly mentioned in their hotel book that you can ask for one if you have missed one: I was told you go and buy from seven eleven ... this is the most rude reply from a manager ever heard 2) I asked them for a bottle opener: first he refused to give and now I was talking to the lobby manager and he started shouting and asked me to bring it to the lobby... New learning for me .... this hotel is like a jail and once stuck you are stuck 3) when I went for having break fast there was a coakroach though a small one there. When I pointed it out to them he just apologised and said sorry 4) I requested them for a shampoo on day 3 night of my Check in there and was told you get it only once and that's it 5) breakfast is repetitive and does not change an inch any day 6) went to the pool and the guy there seems to be the most annoyed gentelman as he was most I courteous 7) there is only one key to the room and if one has to go down then please take your partner along or leave him / her in the dark 8) the beach is approx 15 -20 mins walk 9) never heard in life across the world for duty manager to be so Ruse 10) its a property you stay at your own risk where you are scared every time you do something like being jailed and the jailor not agreeing to anything you request 11) only silver lining the lady on the travel desk 12) I am sure the hotel team would like to defend this but it's your call to take it or not.

Best Western Patong Beach is an example of true style in regard to its décor - built only 2 years ago it is very modern, clean and reasonably priced for the traveler. My husband and I travel consistently around the World and you would be hard pressed to find another more delightful property to stay in and enjoy Phuket and its surrounds. The staff are soooo friendly, the Manager Mr Phawat pays careful attention to your needs in the restaurant and the breakfast is plentiful and delicious. Siriwan (AO) at the tour desk could not be more helpful and she is extremely knowledgeable of Phuket and its surrounding islands plus she is happy and carefree and a pleasure to deal with. All the staff at reception are an asset to the company plus mention should be made of Pakin, Wut and Tae who helped us many times at the front desk. All in all a perfect place to stay not only enjoying Phuket but the delights of the Best Western Patong Beach. 10 out of 10 guys, keep up the good work. Within easy walking distance of lots of shopping, beach, seafood market (delicious) a few doors away, Jungleceylon - HUGE shopping mall - has everything you would be looking for. Once again home away from home - a wonderful place to stay and providing many happy memories.

Our stay at the Best Western, was one of the best yet. From the friendly staff, to the comfortable and clean rooms. Close to everything. 3 minute walk to juncelyon centre and the Banzan market. 5 minute walk to the popular Bangala st. Front desk staff always ready and willing to help out with whatever was needed! Sumisa, Hum, Wut, and Neng all amazing! Siriwan with the travel company at the front was beyond helpful and would highly recommend booking your excursions with her. Made us feel very at home, always remembering our names and greeting us with warm smiles! Would highly recommend!

Dan55113, Singapore 05/10/2017

We checked in this hotel on Oct 17.during check in session, the counter staff was friendly approach and speak well English. There is no wellcome drink because this is not luxury hotel? The concierge was helpful to bring up our room which is given top floor 7 floor. The room spacious looks satified. The balcony is too small size which there is not possible to set up table and chairs at balcony. There is mountain and building balcony view which I assumed my room direction face to junceylon mall and I can view the mall..it's not what I guessed. The rooftop pool is big and great city view. The gym size is satified and come with good equipmrnt and window view at next hotel pool. The breakfast spread are just satified with no high demand. The day counter and concierge staff are friendly and pleasent look. Well, the night counter staff was not as friendly and plesent approach which I had requested complimentary cocktail coupons for drink at mana steakhouse. The hotel WiFi network was good and no free hotel shuttle bus Because This hotel location was nearer to wet market and junceylon mall which was a good location. But the hotel location is not nearer to patong beach. Overall..this hotel is highly recommended for stay.

atul_gupta_2017, Bangalore District, India 04/10/2017

Stayed from 21st September to 24th September Location / views from the hotel was good. View of the hills from the room was amazing Room was small for a family of three, Calls to the reception for salt/sugar/cutlery denied, but later asked to walk-in to the restaurant and get it from there. Felt it inconvenient to move from room to restaurant, as lifts need a card swipe to come back. Later a solution given for that as to use credit/debit card for light in the room and use the hotel card for the lift. On the third day I had a trip starting early morning - I asked for food packs, which they provided, and contents modified on request too. Lot of persuasion was required to change the contents of the food packs. On coming back from the trip around 6 PM- I found a note informing of the crack in one of the side table's glass top. It was surprising for me as we hardly used that table and the only things we kept on that table was watches/ mobile. That glass top has to be definitely delicate as my watch and mobile are fine. I was informed that as per Hotel policy I should have checked the room for any breakages and damages before check-in :). Had a discussion with the reception and the deputy manager. I requested if I could talk to the manager which was not allowed as the manager works in office hours and can talk only next day around 7:30. I had to leave the next day for Bangkok at around 8am, I started that discussion with the deputy manager – I did not saw the manager there. So thought it better to pay and move on. Request to the management -1. As tourist we didn't had time to check for each and everything. If you have a policy please do provide your guests with the pre-checkin pictures of all the delicate materials and consumables in the room 2. Please let the guests know of the hacks like using any other cards for lights in the room, or provide 2 cards for a family 3. Overall your staff was very helpful but I felt the rudeness is built-in in the policies

The hotel is very new and nicely decorated. We booked two rooms for 2 nights. We were satisfied with the facility environment. The swimming pool is very nice. And locate only 5 mints away from the shopping mall. Walking distance to enjoy the very delicious seafood. However, we are wondering the front department is good service name as "tae,kung,ply".We arrive at 10 am and only one room was ready to be check in, we can understand this is because we arrive before check in time. However, until 12 pm, the room has ready. Thank for Fo staff to help us. And on check out they help us for four of us have to take shower one by one. We were supposed to have a rest after the early flight.

The rooms are simple clean and tidy and the house keeping team very friendly. The the rooftop pool is great to get away from the hustle and bustle of Patong and watch the sunset. Even if your not staying at the BW try the restaurant! We were surprise to see they smoke all there own meats. The menu is "pricey"(for Thailand) but well worth it. The brisket is great!

Hollie O, Kent, United Kingdom 21/09/2017

Fairly new hotel and rooms cleaned every day, good air con. The hotel doesn't look like much from the outside but nice and modern inside. Rooftop infinity pool is also a nice touch. Staff are very friendly and attentive. We got speaking to the Manager (Jay) one night in the lobby and he was a very nice, down to earth guy. He gave us his business card should we need anything during our stay. The location is perfect.. far away enough that you do not hear the hustle and bustle of bangla road but also only a ten minute walk if you wanted to venture down there. I will be recommending this hotel to friends and family and would definitely return should I ever visit Patong again. The only minor criticism would be the fact that a room gets 1 room card to share. This became annoying on a few occasions when I would be in the room getting ready (needing the card to be in the card slot for the lights to stay on) and my partner would want to down to the lobby.( the card is required in the lifts to go up and down)

"Good little hotel at great location in Patong"

Psy_Attack, Mumbai (Bombay), India 19/09/2017

I am writing this purely from my travelling experience around SEA, there could be contradicting notions about this place from different individuals though. Good things: 1. Well maintained rooms for the price you pay 2. Great location Can do better pointers: 1. Provide 2 key access for each room, considering the fact that you have to man the lift with an access card. Nonetheless, It is pretty much the norm these days elsewhere. My wife decided to rest while I went to hit the gym, I had to keeping going back to the reception / concierge and ask for access to use the gym and to return back to my room. It makes the hotel seem "Not thinking", honestly. 2. Gym is basic. Most common and simple attachments to a functional machine is missing. Cable crossover machine doesn't have bars and rope. It comes along with the machine and it's such a common sense to have them. I am guessing, they must have misplaced / lost them but an investment of 300-500 Baht to reinstate them shouldnt hurt. Again, the hotel just looks like "Not thinking". 3. Sound proofing is imperative just as much as the no smoking policy. Yes we are in Patong, there is celebration every where but a sound sleep is ultimately what most have paid for. Better rubber padding or changing the window sliding should help. The hotel has to really think on that. 4. 2000 Baht Security deposit / Witholding credit card details at the check-in needs to be communicated in all advertised digital sales channel just as much communicating "Water and coffee is complimentary, Mini bar is charged" rude shocks are uncalled for. Tell me something that I don't know instead of not telling me something that I should know. My apprehension is not in giving the aforesaid details however, it is the way it is asked for at the front desk. Establishing a reasoning and asking for something and straight up saying "We need your credit card details..." are 2 different things. Communication is the most important catalyst in hospitality. My 2 cents. Hope it helps the property and the travellers.

Left my front door 4.30am so l was glad to finally to walk out of Phuket airport doors at 7pm,my daughter had arranged the hotel car to pick my son & myself up,a great move saved all that mucking about looking for a taxi,so there was Pakin holding up our names mr Martin mr Matthew Best Western Hotel he told us that it would take about an hour to get to the hotel,more torture I thought but it wasn't Pakin was very good asking questions giving us tips places to etc.before you knew it we were there, checked in & downstairs again feeling alittle bit hungry we thought we'd try the hotel restaurant where we we greeted by the maître d who has the greatest smile of welcome after such a long trip. Haeapoen,or (KUI her nickname) and her staff looked after us very well,we often had meals there enjoying happy hour as well.Then after we would just cross the road round the corner where the nightlife strip starts,or across the road 400m along there's massive shopping centre with Lots of shops prior to that there's a laneway with a lot nrestaurants & a Irish pub,10 minutes the other way is Patong beach. This place is very central &found no need to use taxi,the pool was great might need abit more shade &breakfast could do with some bacon Our stay was great if anything to short even the cleaners on 7th floor were outstanding,yes l would recommend this hotel,might see you there.

"Not the best, but not the worst"

mukuljuria, Dubai, United Arab Emirates 10/09/2017

Stayed here for 7 nights based on TripAdvisor ratings. I felt it was a bit hit and miss. The good: rooms are well appointed, pool is decent. The main positive is Siriwan who sits at the tour desk. I booked all my tours through her and she was just a gem of a person. The bad: way to many rude tourists from a certain place that has the highest population. Just outright rude. One night a group of them came back at 4am, and just sat outside their rooms brushing their teeth in the lobby and chatting away. I literally had to scream at them to go away. The rooms walls are very very thin and the doors not well pressurised allowing them to slam shut. This goes on throughout the night as we are in Patong after all. Hopefully some dampening materials can fix that. As it is Patong, one would assume the housekeeping services would start a little late. But no, at exactly 6:45 I hear them outside knocking on doors and screaming housekeeping, which when added to the thin walls and doors - makes for a nice headache. Lastly, as this hotel is clearly geared towards the above mentioned tourists, the TV channels reflect the same, not one English Channel to watch during my 7 nights. Lastly, the wifi is good in terms of speed but annoying as you have to keep logging in over and over again. However, the rooms and staff are good and the only negatives are the annoying housekeeping staff and thin walls and doors. The review gets a 3 for that. If this review was based on my sleepless nights and rude tourists, I would give it a zero, but that's not entirely the hotels fault. Next time out I'll choose a hotel that doesn't only cater to one type of tourist.

GM B, General Manager at Best Western Patong Beach, responded to this review

I do apologize for any sleepless nights that you may have incurred and we will continue our efforts to keep the noise to a minimum. I hope you decide to visit us again at BEST WESTERN Patong Beach.

MiteshManseta, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates 08/09/2017

We stayed in this hotel from 22nd July '17 to 27th July'17. it was the work experience that we had with this hotel, the staff at the reception was very rude, worst room service, also, at the time of check out we were told to pay additional 2500 BAHTS as 1 towel was supposedly spoiled with some stains of food. we were not even informed this earlier, and was directly asked to pay at the time of check out. We were asked to either pay the money or they will call the cops. Finally we had to settle the same by paying additional 1000 BAHTS as we had a flight to catch. 1000 BAHTS for a towel which was not even branded.

TomandCaz, Brisbane, Australia 07/09/2017

The hotel is certainly cheap but I would rather pay a bit more for a quieter hotel. The bed was very hard which I struggled with. Also the hallways do not have carpet and I think the walls are so thin and not good seals around the bedroom doors that we could hear people talking in the rooms next to us along with lots of children screaming all of the time. It seemed that we picked a time where some of the other guests were inconsiderate regarding keeping their children from yelling and running up and down the hallways. Then we had the pleasure of a group of people across from us who wanted to party all night in there rooms going from one room to another and were very loud all night. That is not the hotels fault and I understand that but the rooms need to be better insulated. Breakfast was ok and they had an egg station which was good. The pool ontop of the building although not big is better than the one in the middle of the building as that can get quite cold as it does not get much sun. The staff were very friendly.

Can't argue about the location of this hotel. Stay there and you will understand that you cant get more closer to the patong action than this. Other than that, staff generally good. It was noisy though (has to do with the design of the corridor and thin walls), so if you are a light sleeper, it can be a bit rough. Nice pool on top. Overal clean hotel.

From the moment we arrived, the front desk (Miguel,Ploy,Tae,Pakin) they are helpful and friendly, and always smiling. We stayed 2 night at the hotel. If I look back now and think about what was most remarkable I would have to say that it was the hotel staff. This covers everybody we had contact with, from housekeeping to management. Each and all of them were the best I have encountered. One other piece of advice, eat at the breakfast buffet at the hotel. It is second to none. We skipped it on our first morning there not thinking much of it. Later that day we met another couple that were on there way out of the hotel after staying for a few days and they highly recommended we try it. Lucky we did, as it turned out to be incredible!!! We actually ate at all 6 or 7 places to eat on property and never encountered a bad meal. It was a great trip and I look forward to being able to come back again.

smoothcriminal, amsterdam to pattaya 19/08/2017

Every single day for 3 weeks I walked past this place and every single day I could not help buy wonder why. It looked nice enough, the lobby was always full of people checking in the hotel but yet the restaurant was always, and I mean always empty. Every time o walked past I saw a sign that portrayed a special... All you can eat al a carte for THB399, on one of my last night's here I decided to give it a go. The food is extraordinary, I have worked many years as a chef and my favourite dish in the world is pork ribs, naturally I ordered them first. They were truly excellent, no knife needed as pork ribs should be, sauce was pretty good and it came with a small pot of lovely sauce and some shoestring fries. Polished it off in a matter of minutes. Truly exceptional. Next I ordered the pork belly, I was kind of expecting the little square bits like we get at home on Australia, but it was not, it was long strips kind of like thick bacon but from the belly... Oh my god, so good. Half way through I was thinking to myself I don't know how much more of this I can take, if you don't finish what you order you have to pay the full price for it, but it was so delicious I couldn't help but finish it anyway despite the extra fatty nature if pork belly. I am still here.... I ordered another dish Andaman bbq shrimp, I comes with rice, I really hope not too much rice, either way I will finish it, I am a sucker for all you can eat deals, and I just know that the prawns will also be exceptional. I can't understand why this place is empty all the time, the food is amazing. Sure it is more expensive than your local places but God dam the food is good. If I were to complain about one thing it would be that the long island ice tea was not consistent with its usual strength, I am a master of long island and it is my favourite drink, this one tasted like it has less than 1/4 sized shots in it soon only ordered the one. Food is incredible though, eat here if you come across it on your wanders through patong. Take the challenge, but he prepared, it really is a challenge

I was in Thailand in February and now again. One of the reasons to come back was the superb service we received in this hotel.

Breakfast takes it to another level, the rooms are clean, quiet and personnel is closely handled by GM Jay Peno, who remembered me from my last trip.

the experience was ok, the manager helpful all staff great, my only issues was the noise which echoed through to the room I did speak to a couple of kids at around midnight but no result. they would speak out in spurts and it was pointless notifying staff because by the time they got there the problem was solved, and 0 Aussie TV, seems they cater for chinese

We stayed for 1 night. It is a new hotel ,the Patong beach is across the road. Room are having a intelligent modern design , a bit smaller. Breakfast is very good , however the 7/11 and market is 5/10 min walk from the hotel. Staff is very good name "Ta,Mikul,Ploy",The Beds are very good how ever the walls between the rooms are loud .We had to call reception to ask the neighbors to lower the TV volume.

Pros Good location Staffs, good services Pillows and bed so comfortable Most staffs speak English well Cons Bed sheets and towels are so dirty, my hubby and my skin feel extremely itchy for those 5 nights, not sure if there are some bugs in the beds are not. But we switched from one hotel to this hotel, our skin didn't feel itchy when we stayed in another hotels in Phuket. I need to login the new WIFI password every single night (I stayed 5 nights), it's so ignoring. It means I need to go to the reception and ask them to give me the new WIFI password every single night. Hotel only gives us only one access card (not 2)

"Family holiday"

User 31/07/2017

Came here with my family for holiday, booked 2 rooms in advance, 3 people in one and 3 in another when I got to the desk they told me that it will be an additional 1000bhat per day, so instead had to get another room, when i arrived with my parents they could not find my booking, kept asking questions again and again, even though showed them confirmation, rooms are nice, shower is very nice, just staff are rude, biggest let down, and worst thing is because they don't speak much English they never understand what you have to say, swimming pool is really nice being on the top floor, limited beds, staff are not helpful, for excursions I would use the hotel for booking them, even though they are a bit overly priced, on credit card charge 3% so why have to add additional 3% on card machine, always pay by cash never card, even though getting a price outside is cheaper at least the hotel will be able to follow up where the transfer is and what is going on, breakfast is average, and so is lunch, only benefit is the wifi and that the hotel is close to bangla road, If you break or damage anything in the room they charge u 100bhat even if a towel is dirty, don't drink or eat from the fridge, overly priced cheaper to get food and drinks from the supermarket, the beds have bug bites, never sleep inside the duvet always on the outside learnt the hard way, if I had to book this hotel again, no I wouldn't, customer service is a major let down.

GM B, General Manager at Best Western Patong Beach, responded to this review
Dear NDM007, Thank you for your review, I would like to take the time to answer a few of your queries, as our rooms are dual occupancy if you need to add an extra bed to make this 3 in a room there is a charge, also if coffee tables and items in the room are damaged beyond repair they must be paid for as per every other hotel in the world. I understand that the charges were quite high in your instance but with the amount of damage in the rooms this was unavoidable. I take your other comments on board and will have a look into all above mentioned items. Kind regards Jay Penno General Manager

DANNII LANGELAAR I have travelled around the world for years & I have NEVER come across a hotel quiet like the Best Western Patong Beach. * HOTEL - You can not fault the beauty, cleanliness & serenity of this hotel. Catering for Singles, Couples or Families...The roof top pool looking over Patong is breath taking! * The STAFF - where do I start ? NOTHING & I mean NOTHING is to hard or to much to ask of the beautiful staff. They are ALL so very courteous, understanding & will always go out of their way to make sure you are their number one priority. They are the most genuine kind hearted staff I have ever come across never with out a smile & manners are impeccable. * Restaurant - Food oh my lord - All dishes are exquisite & mouth watering whether it is Breakfast, Brunch, Lunch, Dinner, Snacks & Drinks. So many dishes to choose from - Prices are VERY affordable. *MANAGMENT - From the TOP right down the line all I can say is PERFECT!!! I was lucky enough to meet the General Manager and can personally say "It was my pleasure & honor" to meet such a down to earth gentleman - THANKYOU WITH ALL MY HEART!!!

"Good Value Hotel"

User 14/07/2017

The hotel itself is in a very good location as it is close to all the main attractions in patong and only a stone throw away from bangla road. The staff are helpful and friendly although a communication barrier did exist and they couldn't always understand me and vice versa. The rooms are a decent size and have all the amenities that one could need. The rooftop pool looks good and wasn't too crowded. The breakfast is probably the only let down due to the lack of variety in the food choices but nonetheless it is a good value hotel and you certainly get a lot more than you pay for.

John C, Luang Prabang, Laos 13/07/2017

This hotel has it all. For around $44usd per night including breakfast we had a great 3 night stay. It is in a terrific location across the street from the end of Soi Sansabai so just 4 minutes walk to Jungceylon and 6 minutes to Bangla Rd. The rooms are on the smallish side but are very well appointed and meticulously clean. Comfortable bed, good wifi, a/c, mini bar and lovely overhead shower. There is a nice rooftop pool with good bar service and daily happy hour. Staff are very friendly and it is obvious that the Manager Jay has a great rapport with his staff that brings out the best of Thailand friendliness. Breakfast is somewhat limited but really for the money you could not complain. After spending a few of the previous nights in Holiday Inn and Katathani I would have to say this is the best value for money hotel of the three. We are regular visitors to Phuket and this will be fine for us for future visits.

Hi every one, Hotel location really good. Brake-fat fantastic. Room cleaning staff are good and cooperative. Unfortunately I faced two issues as below mentioned. 1- wifi is not good, it's not work properly and if we ask the reception staff they will give u new user and password. Actually the problem in the server. ( no use ) the reception staff is not understand you even you explain the more than 100 Times 2- My 5 th day at best western. At night around 9:00pm we back room and started A/c ( it's automatic - when ever you put key in the holder then only ac will work) at 9:45 I called reception and I said them ac is not working, she said she will send some one. We wait more then 30 minitus and no one come and we called agin and again. Nothing happening at last I went down and again explained. Around 11:15 pm some one come and check.

The hotel is just a good hotel for family and business travelers both. It is located on the main road hence very convenient to locate and move around. It has eateries and Pub around it so you can enjoy. The only issue is that it is quite far from beach and you would need a taxi to travel to beach. The staff are quite helpful and breakfast is also good.

"An otherwise standard hotel with locational advantage"

3
SupreetLodh, Gurugram (Gurgaon), India 01/07/2017

The hotel has locational advantage as it is very close to all the activities in Patong, the beach and Bangla Road is at a walking distance from the hotel. You need to walk the full stretch of Bangla Road to reach Patong Beach. It is misleading to mention that the hotel is located in Patong Beach, its about 10 minutes walk from the hotel. Apart from the inhouse restaurants in the hotel, there are lot of options available in close vicinity. There are number of sea food restaurants with couple of good ones just on the opposite side. There is also a street food option just couple of minutes walk from the hotel as you walk further down from the hotel and opposite to Phuket Muay Thai Stadium. We tried couple of options there and liked them, good taste and also soft on your pocket. For Indians craving for Indian food there are multiple options as you walk towards Bangla Road but be ready to pay more than you would want to. Probably you would not mind if you are looking for Indian food at a place where there are so much finger licking options in local food. Now coming back to the hotel and its facilities. Nothing much to complain about and it is just as you would expect from a chain. However, I would say the bed to be much smaller in size than what you would expect a king size bed to be. The floors have very little decor and is almost stripped down version of what we usually see in any standard hotel. Very little viewing options as there are barely any international channels / English channels and this somehow was a let down when you are forced to stay indoors due to weather conditions as experienced by us. The pool was not functional during our visit. The services are not upto the mark. One thing you really feel good about whenever you are in this part of the world is the courtesy and ever willing to assit attitude of the staff from the service sector which is something we missed in this hotel, be it the staff at the breakfast table or housekeeping. We had to remind multiple times for a single item and this is something not expected. I did not find the breakfast spread adequate and even commonly available items in breakfast like sausages were missing. I have something to apologize about. We were a big group, 5 families with 8 kids and the kids were very noisy. I am sure the kids must have resulted in inconvinience to the other residents and although we tried our level best, found it very difficult to control the kids. My sincere apologies to the hotel management and other fellow guests for the inconvinience caused by the kids.

I have read so many times about people not enjoying there 2nd stay in a same hotel but not this one, staff are always friendly and happy to help, the rooms are just big enough for 2 people, nice bright décor, spotlessly clean with a great shower, we enjoyed breakfast here, its not the usual English but a nice selection of food to choose from for all its global visitors so you do get a very wide choice with eggs cooked just how you like them, 300 bart for 2 people its a bargain. we visited Phi Phi for 2 nights and we were allowed to leave a large case in the hotels lock up room until we returned to stay for our second night, this we really appreciated, thank you Best Western again for a great stay, we will see you again next year

I checked in on May 31 to June 4,2017. First impression I wasn't sure if the attitude of the reception will be good. However, when I was checking in Ms. OHM the morning shift front desk was excellent very helpful and friendly. I checked into the room and found out it was 2 single bed and I called down immediately and she called the housekeeping and moved me to another floor with 1 double bed, she apologised profusely. I told not to worry. And the evening shift another great front desk lady by the name of Ms. AON was very helpful and friendly, great smile. Although the hotel was overrun by the Chinese and Indians they kept their posture and tolerance by helping out other guests. Because of them I will definitely go back and highly recommend anyone visiting Patong. Secondly, hotel location is just unbeatable, 5 mins walk to Jungceylon shopping mall with plenty of eateries, and slightly adjacent to the hotel is a small soi that access to the beach and soi Bangla also accessible to the mall on the left.

Bestwestern Hotel Patong Beach – The hotel is in walking distance to most amenities such as the food night market including seafood, Bangla boxing stadium, Bangla street night parties, pharmacies, restaurants, Patong hospital, the beach & massage parlours. Check in & out were straight forward, key cards and internet password issued for the duration of the stay. The room itself of average size comes with a coffee station, safety box, mini bar fridge, as for a word of Caution the coffee table is not built with tempered glass, so be careful around it and for toiletries only shampoo & soap were available. The TV has a few international news and some local channels, no entertainment channels, HBO for movies & Fox live sport channels should be the decision for the management to subscribe. At the foyer there is an internet station comes with a printer. The room is serviced daily comes with 2 bottles of complementary drinking water. The hotel's staffs are genuinely happy and will assist to all customer requirements. There is a fair size swimming pool and a gym on the roof of the hotel, with a bar purchasing counter and some massage stations. The breakfast is fine minus the beacon but comes with most international and local dishes which are replenished to the end, the pancake maker is a bonus. For updates and queries, the General Manager Mr Jay Penno will be glad to answer.

User 24/05/2017

Well it all started at the airport where we were met with our requested airport shuttle. Made to feel special to start off our holiday with a very well spoken driver who gave an unexpected informative tour about the island and places of importance on the way back to the hotel, which was much appreciated from a cultural educational point of view. On arrival from a late flight it was a very simple easy check in with a very friendly and welcoming concierge. Rooms were very modern, clean and comfy with a bar fridge full of treats. The next morning we were spoilt with the buffet breakfast on offer , which we kept going back for each day We had decided on the Best Western due to it's central location, with all of the services we required during our holiday being within walking distance. We also found ourselves lounging around the pool in the morning and finishing our day back at the pool enjoying a cocktail watching the sunset from the infinity pool on the roof top. Also would recommend the restaurant downstairs with a huge variety on the menu. We will definitely be back soon and thanks for offering such a wonderful facility. The customer service was exceptional over our stay , they were always accomodating and very friendly.

This hotel has it all and you only pay a 3 star price. Super friendly service. The hotel has a cool rooftop pool not to be missed at sunset with a cocktail. The ground floor restaurant is open air and serves some fabulous smokehouse BBQ flavours with some great smaller meals like chilli con carne as well. They definitely won me over with their food. The rooms are modern and clean and well stocked. The hotel is centrally located and an easy to walk to the various shopping strips and malls. Loved this place !!!

Travelling with a young child can be challenging but we found our experience with this hotel to be a dream. The staff were so friendly & catered for our every need. The restaurant had such a great selection to suit all of our tastes (even our 2 yr olds!) & the location was ideal. Being so centrally located, it meant we could either walk everywhere or simply catch a taxi from our front door. I would highly recommend staying at this hotel & especially if you are travelling with children. We'll be back!

I've had the opportunity over the last two weeks to stay at 3 hotels in Patong and feel that the Best Western Patong Beach surpasses these other hotels in many areas. This is a hotel which is centrally located, close to beaches, night life and shopping. Firstly the registration and service at reception is prompt, attentive and thorough. The staff are extremely helpful and go out of their way to accommodate any special requirements you have. The rooms are modern, very clean and well maintained. And the roof top pool is wonderful, with it's bar and food service. THE SURPRISE HIGHLIGHT OF THIS HOTEL IS THEIR RESTAURANTS. The breakfast selections are impressive with a wide variety of foods to accommodate all tastes and cultures. The Mana Smokehouse, the main restaurant offers you the most interesting array of foods. There is something for everyone, a great selection of Thai food of course, but my favourites were the Tex Mex selections, with delicious pork and beef ribs, smoked 'in-house', great tacos and quesadillas and a range of burgers to suit any palate. The value and cost of this food is comparable to any of the markets and street vendors and the street setting allows you to see the buzz of Patong from your table. Go try this restaurant, you won't be disappointed. This is my second visit to this hotel and I'm looking forward to my next trip there. Great hotel, great staff, great service, great food.

User 18/05/2017

Wow, talk about close enough to everything, but with a 5 star touch! The Staff remember you, the rooms are clean and tidy, and the food! The Mana smokehouse with the all you can eat...it was so delicious! Cant believe they charge at a 3 star price but with so many add ons...mini bar etc. Pool Bar up top and the sunset was fantastic! A hidden gem! The staff know the best places to eat outside the hotel, and getting money changed at the best rates up the road.

stayed here april 25-29, after a disastrous stay at bangkok palace ,followed an awesome stay at ibis styles krabi.and an eye opening stay on phi phi islands i made my way to patong and to the best western. this hotel was the highlight of my trip. lovely clean hotel with a great clean room with a huge shower. apart from the very friendly staff and amazing breakfast. the location of this hotel is ideal. a stone throw away from bangla road , the mall and loads of street markets. the hotel was across the road from a travel agent where i was able to book all my tours inexpensively,and surprisingly had laundry done there too. it offers a gym and an awesome roof top infinity pool (only problem with this is that they turn the lights off at 8 which is too early) the front desk staff were so friendly and helpful and provided me with a wake up call on departure day in order not to miss my early flight to bangkok.they even packed me a take away breakfast box. with regards to breakfast everything was delicious. when requested a halaal option they unfortunately didnt have but what they did do for me was open a new frying pan and utensils which they used to make my eggs daily...if you cross the road however there is a short street leading to bangla road which has a host of halaal restaurants open 24/7.in all honesty i explored majority of patong and i couldnt find a better hotel with the combo of friendly clean and located better. i would recommend to anybody travelling to patong and i would definately stay here again.photos to follow

Chloe Y, Segambut, Wilayah Persekutuan, Malaysia 09/05/2017

This hotel is strategically located 1 street away from the famous Bangla Street in Patong Beach! The room is spacious and clean as what it shown on the website. Basic amenities is provided except tooth brush and tooth paste. Staff are very helpful and friendly. almost everyone can speak mandarin. which is very convenient for China guests. For those China guest that using Alipay or wechat, there is a special bus ticket that can buy from wechat and that shuttle bus will bring you to a few tourist attraction for unlimited ride. unfortunately that's for China guest and I can't buy from the app as I do not use alipay. A suggestion for the management; I know it's a green concept for for not putting a lot of light on the floor corridor but it's really scary to walk through the floor corridor at night. If you want to save energy. you can use those motion sensored one.

Iloon D, Brisbane, Australia 09/05/2017

This is one of those places where the friendly staff welcomes you and goes out of their way to give you an unforgettable experience. Expect clean rooms, comfortable beds, a lovely pool with bar, well-equipped gym, free wifi and great service. We initially planned to stay two days to look for a nice place to stay in Patong and we ended up extending our stay in this lovely hotel. Great value for money, close to all the hustle and bustle of Bangla road but in a quiet area. Would highly recommend staying here for both business and leisure.

"Great Value for Money"

TjardoH99, Shanghai, China 08/05/2017

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this Hotel. Good value for your money. clean and neat room in a great location. Close to the main attractions in Patong and the three main beaches. But also a good central location if you want to experience more of Phuket. The hotel has a nice pool and bar on the rooftop and smokes its own beef and pork in the restaurant. Having said all this, the best part is the friendly staff and personable General Manager who is willing to go the extra mile to ensure his guests are happy. I will be back!

Bonty1081, Goa, India 07/05/2017

Having travelled as a couple we had zeroed onto this hotel after browsing almost all the hotels in the same area. Of all the most important criteria was hospitality, and i surely was not disappointed!! The hotel scores a lot on that front, besides cleanliness, proximity (and I mean walkable) to the patong beach, bangla road, the huge and worthy junceylon mall, massage parlor, money exchange and of course street food joint. Special mention has to made for the huge street food joint right next to this hotel which opens late in the evening. Checking was smooth and I was given a room on the 4th floor. As reviewed by some of the patrons I was expecting some noise at night from the happenings of the bangla road. But on the contrary it was a peaceful sleep for all the 3 nights that I stayed. Mind you this hotel caters to a lot of tour bookings so the reception lobby can get crowded at times. The morning buffet breakfast was delightful on the 1st day and 2nd day but was repetitive on the 3rd day which makes me deduct the lone star for this review. The standard room was not too big nor small, but the bathroom with a rain shower was a delight. We booked two tours from the hotel itself, the 1st one of city sightseeing was a waste of money, but the 2nd one of the James Bond island was super class and was quite reasonable with good discounts!! Wasn't able to check out the swimming pool or the gym though. Checkout was fast, booked a taxi from the same driver who took us out for sightseeing with his 1976 Volvo!! And got a never heard rate of 600baht.. to the Phuket airport with an excellent service, he was kind enough to offer us 2 bottles of water after dropping us at the airport.. speaking of hospitality at its peak!! Thanks a lot thanamoon. Overall a great hotel to choose for a perfect vacation, nestled in the hub of happenings surrounding it but still manages to distance itself appropriately to get a peaceful nights sleep!

Imber85, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia 30/04/2017

Stayed at this facility for about 5 days. Check in was good the keycards and everything else was prepared by the time we got there. All that was needed was a copy of our card and passport. The front desk personnel wasnt really that friendly though. We asked a few questions and didnt really get good answers. Everytime we left the room we left the keycards with them and everytime we came back they were surprised that it was with them. In terms of the room. We realilsed that our room was cleaned but our cups and glass and other things werent. The toilet has a semi transparent wall so when you shower can have a silhouette (in case those travel with family and friends) but its not bad. Some parts of the paint was chipping off and our balcony door could not be opened. During the stay on the second night we had some disturbances from other guests in a form of banging of door by drunken guests. But upon realisation it was the wrong room after I opened, the guest went to bang on a different door (for some reason it continued for another hour or so). In the mornings i was woken up several times as other guests were leaving for day trips and you can hear their door banging. On one day I could smell someone smoking too so I guess the room ac is connected. The breakfast was decent. Some of the spices used were unique.. it totally was a different taste bud to me and some were nice. They were having a buy 2 breakfast for the price of 1 so we made full use of it (yeay!) as it was not part of our booking. Location wise its quite decent. If you dont mind walking a bit, its not too far from the beach as its literally at the intersection and a straight walk from there. Selection of food is aplenty and if you are a muslim guest, the road heading to bangla road is filled with halal restaurants and nearby there are a lot of stalls. All in all wasnt that bad. However, I would wish for more options for english TV channels. The only english sort of available was on the news networks and sometimes movies. The internet is not too fast but i guess its just ok it kept on being connected and disconnected. The pool is awesome! In the evenings can get a bit full but thats cause its nice. I stayed in the room quite a lot to rest so I wished the tv had more options for me to relax there.

Extremely good location, very close to massage place, shops and central market and shopping mall. Breakfast is ok. Things to improve: (1) towels, shampoos are not changed daily; and I don't think the staff really tidy up the room, the dirty cups are not replaced or cleaned; (2) Great customer service from Kung, Miguel, Wut, except another bellboy. We asked him politely to help book a taxi to airport with lower rate, then he became unhappy and rude, saying "go outside to book by yourself" walking away without further explanation.

Loved the location, prices were decent. Great for couples. Amenities were quite decent. Staff however you will have hard time explaining if you don't know thai. I needed toothpaste and I received two plates :(. On check-out they billed in mini bar amenities and we didn't touch anything. I've heard from others about same issue. They impose mini bar. So be careful with that. Rest a good overall stay.

Well what can I say about this hotel. Everything is perfect about it. The property, the staff, the location everything is great here. Me along with my wife reached the hotel at around 11:30am after a long tiring journey. I requested the front desk to allot me a room since we were very tired and wanted to get fresh and take some rest. Actual check in time of the hotel is 2pm but Ms. Tithilya (don't remember the exact name) was very kind enough to allot us the room within 10-15min being rush in the hotel. Thanks to the lady. The other staff of the hotel too are very friendly. Now what can I say about the location... You just cross the road and there you are at one of the happening roads in Phuket. Bangla street, beach road everything is within the walking distance. The hotel property is very nice, clean and tidy. Breakfast spread is also considerably good but little less options for the Indians. Overall one of the best hotels to stay. Thanks for everything Best Western. -Rajas Kakodkar Goa, India

A4808QJmichellec, Melbourne, Australia 03/04/2017

Jay Penno from Best Western was the best. My daughter and I arrived from Australia late at night into Patong. We where staying at Phuket Villa which was right next to Best Western. Because Phuket Villa was long term apartments there was nobody to let us in. We went to Best Western and stayed there the night. It was lovely there and we really appreciated getting accom so late night at night. Next morning when there was reception at Phuket Villa we went to check in again. I had trouble communicating with the Thai's and getting very frustrated. Jay took us under his wing and took us back to the Best Western gave us everything. Wi fi - coffee and took our paperwork for Phuket Villa for his staff to sort out. He did all the chasing around for us to get us into our rooms next door. We will never forget the Best Western and Jay we where blessed to have him and his staff look after us.

killiebill, Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates 22/03/2017

The hotel location is as described on a very busy road within a few minutes walk of bars and nightclubs of Bangla Road which is sleazy and not nice. Full of massive beer bars blasting out music and touts with invitations to sex shows. But if you decide Patong is the place for you then I'd recommend this hotel is close enough to the mayhem but is still relatively quiet On the positive Reception- Modern,bright and clean. Front Desk Staff - Wonderful! Happy,helpful and professional Rooms - Great. Bright,clean comfortable NB get high floor facing back to get quiet room. Housekeeping - Really good. Helpful and friendly Pool area and bar - Very nice. Infinity type pool NB Happy hour 4-6 with buy one get one free at the bar. Breakfast- Excellent omelettes Wide choice of international dishes,cereals,fruits etc. Breakfast Room Staff - Superb! Fast and efficient What could be better is - more,better,sun beds at pool area. - stop loud music either at Reception or Restaurant at slightly lower level than Reception as when there is two different songs playing and traffic noise it is impossible to hear staff. As no intention of returning to Patong will not return but that is not a reflection on the hotel as excellent value

Aeronaut65, Copenhagen, Denmark 19/03/2017

Situated approx. 30-45 mins. from HKT airport. Hotel offers pick up at THB1200, double to normal price, but its trustworthy. Hotel is situated 2 mins. walk from nightmarket and 3 mins. from Jungceylon, a Thai mall with Western prices. I would definately say that if you dont prefer a beach hotel, this is a good choice. Rooms are of good size, firm bed, aircon, minibar, coffee&tea, safe, tv with very limited choice and mainly for the majority of chinese and russian guest. Water provided each day. Cleaning. When you get cleaning, its good and mostly they remember to stock your toiletries, toiletpaper etc. There is a small french-balcony, however hotel has a strict non-smoking policy, so if you are a smoker you might want to reconsider. Unfortunately walls are very thin, you will know what your neighbours are doing, corridors are without carpets and doors quirky and thin- so if you are in for a good nights sleep, you will probably be disapointed. Unfortunately chinese guests are not the most considerate guests, there is a lot of shouting, slamming doors, children running in corridors screaming, and drunk people coming back late at night. Tourgroups arriving late means a lot of noise as well. Breakfast is good and, off course, mostly caters for the asian pallet- however Europeans are offered bacon and cheese if you ask for it. Restaurant/cafe has a mix of western and asian cuisine, tasty and reasonable priced. Service however is slow and unattentive- the young girls needs more training in service, they seem more interested in chatting behind the bar. Ms Pink was outstanding and knew what she was doing. The premises are well kept and clean, and staff are definately smiling, helpful and courteus- they will get my 4th star :-) My special thanks to Mr Pok/Bok (sorry for not remembering the correct spelling) for picking me up in the airport, a lovely start of my holiday.

This was my first trip to Phuket/Patong Beach and I must say I could not be more pleased. Jay Penno, the hotel GM was amazing as was the entire staff. They consistently went above and beyond every day to ensure my partner and I had a fantastic vacation. We stayed 4 nights and will be bringing a large group next year back to this hotel due to the level of service that was demonstrated. The food and beverage was great, the rooms and hotel very clean, the pool soooo relaxing on the rooftop and within walking distance to shopping, dining, entertainment. I am not sure what more one could ask for. Thank you again for amazing experience. See you next year!

User 24/11/2016

We live next door and eat out often, walking past this restaurant on a daily basis. Until now we've never ventured inside or even looked at the menu. BIG mistake! The food is delicious and the prices are very reasonable. Their Thai food is very authentic (not westernised), tasty and full of flavour. The Manager, Jay Penno, who is often in the restaurant in the evening, assured us the smokehouse brisket was melt-in-your-mouth tender and just fell off the bone, so we have this to look forward to on another visit. Love the location of this restaurant. Tables are close to the road. For people watchers this is a great spot to sit, dine in style and indulge in some wonderful cocktails ... and it won't cost you the earth. Don't walk past, like we did. Go in and see for yourself.

Dear Suzette M, Thank you for your restaurant review I am happy to hear that our Thai food is true to the culture and consistent with real Thai food, your correct a lot of restaurants especially in the tourist areas tend to change their Thai food to try and suit a western palette which really distracts from authentic Thai cuisine. We try to stay as true as we can and my Chefs all cook like they are cooking for their family's which really shows. I look forward to seeing you in the restaurant again soon.

Amazing experience, close to all the action in Patong. Very clean. Great breakfast buffet with loads of variety. Great local market shopping, big shopping centre, Jungceylon within 5 minutes walking which have all the famous brands. A local wet market for fruit and vegetables and at night it transforms into food stalls galore, local food, seafood excellent, cheap and no tummy bugs. ATM machines close by at 7 Eleven, to get out that extra cash. Staff are amazing, so helpful and friendly. Australian manager Jay is very pleasant, friendly and approachable. We will be back.

Hotel is convineintly located near the Night life spots in Patong. The rooms are very comfortable and high level of cleanliness. The morning breakfast is has mix of continental and thai food. Quality of breakfast is very god but the thai stuff is very spicy. You can walk down to Bangla Road for night out and you large number of Thai,Arabic and Indian resturants and almost all of them are reasonably priced. The Hotel have a roof top pool also.

I am currently staying in this hotel and had requested was provided room with two non horizontal single beds attached as a double bed. I immediately requested for a change and was informed that no room was available and change will happen next day. They also asked me to contac the front desk again next morning, also on me saying that i have a james bond island tour early morning the lady mentioned she will change the room post my return. On contacting the helpdesk today morning the lady asked me to bring out the stuff down immediately or else she wd not be able to change and she started putting the blame on me and didnt care to listen as they had a group chk in happening. Also on asking to connect to manager she simply refused saying he is not available and asked to me to call hotel after 10 am if i wanted to speak to him...break fast is just okay...3 stars primarily for the location.

GM B, General Manager at BEST WESTERN Patong Beach, responded to this review
Dear Nitesh S, Firstly let me apologize for the mishap with your bed configuration this is something that is usually easily fixed I am not sure why my staff would have said that I am unavailable as I am always available for my guests but trust me when I say I will be finding out. I hope the rest of your stay went with out a hitch and I hope I have the opportunity to speak to you face to face. Sincerely Jay Penno General Manager

I have never cared enough to write a review. I certainly never would have imagined that I would take time to bother and write one during a trip but there are moments in life that you will never forget. Meeting manager Jay Penno of Best Western Patong Beach is one that will stay with me for life. I will spare you the details but I found myself in a bit of trouble while traveling. This was in no way related to the hotel itself yet Jay and his incredible staff went above and beyond to help resolve my issues. I was treated like family with respect and courtesy when I had absolutely no right to expect it. The hotel itself is modern and managed extremely well in a location that is walking distance to everything in Patong. The open dinning & lounge area out front has a great atmosphere. The rooftop pool & bar are a welcomed relief with a good view while the gym has everything needed to keep you in shape. The hotel is kept very clean and housekeeping is great. Service is the best I have experienced in Thailand. I have nothing but good things to say regarding my stay at the Best Western Patong Beach. Not only would I not stay anywhere else but I would consider quitting my job just to work for manager Jay Penno! Thank you Jay and staff for all the help, advice and words of wisdom. I will be forever grateful and forever in your debt. Cheers mate!

This hotel is a perfect hotel in terms of location, staff and food. If your agenda is to chill in the city, roam around and go to different places, spend some quality time at the hotel, enjoy the roof top pool then this is the ideal place you should stay. The location is so good that everything is walkable from the hotel, the famous Bangla Road is across the hotel, the beach is a 10 minute walk and the shopping mall is 2 minutes from the hotel. The rooms are very clean and well kept. The pool has an ideal location on the roof and big enough. There is a pool bar on top as well. The breakfast spread was huge and had enough items to offer. If travelling alone or as a couple or with friends the hotel is ideal to stay in when in Phuket.

A clean modern hotel in patong Center. The pool serves the purpose and the small gym is also fine. Good parking space for cars. Walkable to banazaan market, patong Beach, jungceylon Mall and bangla Street. The staffs are fine but sometimes feel a bit indifferent. The biggest negative are the thin walls.They also do a packed breakfast for early check out.

Irisangel13, Singapore, Singapore 28/10/2016

Hotel is great for its location. It is 2 mins walk to local market. 5 mins walk to mall. We did not try to walk to the beach, but it seems like 10 to 15 minutes walk away? Taxi and tuk tuk is easily available on the street. Many restaurants can also be found downstairs. Check in was fine and check out was disappointing. Male receptionist advised me to wait for about 5 minutes while they check the room. I waited at the counter for a few minutes. After some wait, this female receptionist and her colleague were looking at me with the big question mark in their faces. Enxchanged glares and the one who attended to me earlier asked "yes? what is your room number?" After I replied her, she was like oh that room is okay. I was pissed as no one bother to tell me it is fine.My transfer was waiting for me at the lobby. I was there at 7am on a weekday and I am obviously the only person checking out then. My friend who checked out before me shared that she had the same experience too. Floor has sticky feel. Other than that, sheets and bathroom were clean. Amenities provided was very basic. Only 1 shampoo and 1 shower gel. Perhaps they noticed i brought my own, they did not bother to replenish. 1st night my room was not properly done before releasing to us. There were no bath towels. So I thought that the pathetic face towels were actually their bath towels. Error message with the in-room safe. Hence cannot be used, but cannot be bothered to inform staff. Requested for iron/ironing board and in-room slipper the night when we checked in. (these are not in room) Items were delivered swiftly but the houseman delivered without a smile, even after I smiled and greeted him. He just walked in my room without saying anything and no eye contact. Walked out as soon as he leaves the items on the floor. It caught me by surprise why is he that rude and look so angry. As if I had given him "extra job"? Soundproof of room is bad. And we had neighbours who like to slam their doors at night. I could even hear the guests next door talking. In short, if you just want a comfy and clean bed to sleep in with great location. This hotel is definitely value for money. If you wanted quality room with great service, look elsewhere.

Noon P, Bangkok, Thailand 27/10/2016

This hotel is located not more than 5 minutes walking to Jungceylon shopping mall. There're a lot of restaurants, shops, and convenience store around the area. It takes around 10-15 minutes to walk to the Patong beach and Bangla road that full of nightlife and bar. The room is okay, they provide essential amenities such as towels, shampoo, shower gel, and free welcome drinks. Breakfast is okay but not many food options.

Elgiecg, Dubai, United Arab Emirates 24/10/2016

The hotel is conveniently and centrally located in Patong, a walking distance to the Bangla Road, to a mall and several restaurants nearby. The hotel is equipped with a swimming pool located on the roof and a gym and the restaurant on the ground floor. The rooms as well as the breakfast were fine. There was no problem during the booking stage. Mr. Jay Penno {the General Manager} and his associates responded to our email requests promptly. We arrived earlier than the check in time but the rooms were released to us. Nothing is perfect!, as it was difficult to communicate with some of the hotel staff due to language barrier. Luckily Ms . Sumisa who speaks English fluently was there for the rescue. But generally the staffs were so friendly and helpful. We will visit Phuket again and definitely stay in this hotel again.

williampG3014NV, Melbourne, Australia 24/10/2016

i landed into phuket on the 16/10/2016 already off the bat i felt no welcomed at all, there were 3 people just sitting at the front desk, but not one of them greeted me for at least a min or 2. next was they offered me a buy 1 get 1 free breakfast for 300 baht. i opted to go for it. the next morning i go to get breakfast, and says i was not entitled for it. i was already pretty annoyed at this point but left it as it is as i was already late for an appointment to get some work done. 2nd night, there were some guest who checked into the room next door. and god were they loud! just screaming and running around, and im sure they weren't kids. cause later that evening, i clearly heard them getting their freak on! what kind of hotel is this? the walls made out of paper? on my last day i checked out, lady at the desk called me up to the front desk, so i go up, advised me they are checking my room. so i just stood there for a good 5 10 minutes thinking whats going on. then the lady goes i have a stain on the bed sheets. and i go okay im aware of it as during the night i don't know what happened but i must have got a cut or something and a bit of blood was left on the sheets. then she told me it cost me 3000 baht to replace the bed sheet. then this is where i think its just over board, the sheets alone cost more than the 3 days i stayed there, not only did i not enjoy my stay i paid twice as much as i needed to. where at over 6000 baht i could have rented out a nice villa or something else instead! NEVER AGAIN! i need to go back to phuket in april, but im sure not to book Best Western again!

GM B, General Manager at BEST WESTERN Patong Beach, responded to this review
Dear williampG3014NV, I am sorry to hear about your situation but please let me clarify a few things regarding your charge. Firstly you were charged 3000 THB which is correct however this charge was for the following items 1. A blood stained sheet 2. A blood stained Duvet cover 3. A blood stained inner for the duvet not just one small spot on one sheet, all these items were beyond repair as the amount of blood was not from a small cut but more like a tattoo or some other source (I am happy to post the photos if you require). As you can understand with the state of things today when blood is involved these items must be replaced because of health issues and for the safety and security of the next incoming guest. I understand that you feel a little hard done by but you must understand our position in regards to items that other guests use especially bed linen. I understand that you are coming back in April and I am happy to discuss this further, I have already emailed you directly as I was made aware of this situation as soon as it happened if you check your inbox you will find my email. Please feel free to contact me directly when you return in April and we can go over this unfortunate situation in person. Regards Jay Penno General Manager

Very bad internet connection in rooms. Extremely frustrating. Very difficult to sleep because hallways are very noisy with other guests and their children making allot of noise slamming doors, or talking loud, or playing in the halls. Location is 10-15 minute walk to the beach. Should not call hotel "Patong BEACH Hotel".

Amos-Tori, Greater Manchester, United Kingdom 20/10/2016

Pros - good location, roof top pool, nice breakfast served until 11am, and good sized clean room Cons - The thing with big chains like this is you lose the personal feel you have with a smaller hotel. It lacks this. Only 6 beds at the pool. We smashed a glass by accident in the room and were charged 200 b (4 pounds is a bit steep in my opinion)

Location is great - close to Junceylon, Bangla etc. but still very quiet in the room Breakfast is GREAT - lots of options, always changing Beds are comfortable, compared to some other hotels I've stayed at in Patong Rooms are clean, showers and A/C work great, mini bar is actually decently priced Rooftop pool is nice, although the view is nothing too spectacular. Nonetheless, it's a good spot to relax. Good gym for a basic workout to counter the extra food you'll be eating UDOMSAK from reception is great - very friendly, very helpful. He took the initiative to ask us if we needed to keep our bags in storage after check out on the last day. He also asked us if we needed to organise a taxi and he did all of that for us. All employees should have the attitude of Udomsak, he's fantastic

For first time travellers to Phuket it was great to stay in an hotel where the staff were wanting to help us enjoy our time there. We cannot recommend the service highly enough. We had a problem with our email server and general manager Jay went out of his way to help, calling in his IT manager to solve our problem which was not related to the Best Western. Following Jay's advice we had one of the best meals at an eatery he told us about. The chilli paste clams were outstanding. Thank you and congratulations on making our stay memorable.

What a great place to stay. All the staff were exceptional and always greeted you with a big smile and nothing was too much trouble. As I have a leg injury the Front Office Manager and Aoy the head housekeeper went to great lengths to soften the bed and make my stay more comfortable. Pakru (driver) always gave helpful suggestions on things to see and do in Phuket and his driving was excellent. Breakfast was varied, plentiful and a great start to the day. The egg chef cooked the eggs, omelettes and fried bread. The waitresses at breakfast remembered and bought a cappuccino to my wife everyday without asking. The room was exceptionally clean and the air con was cold with individual controls. A big thank you to the front desk staff and security for promptly stopping excessive noise from a large tour group ensuring a good nights sleep. The gym and the pool were added bonuses to our stay. I would highly recommend a stay at the Best Western Patong Beach

This is my second visit to this hotel and once again I have found it to be just what you need for a trip to Patong. The hotel rooms are immaculately clean, the staff are very friendly and obliging and go out of their way to accommodate any of your needs. The features here that continue to impress are the roof top pool, with it's bar, the extensive breakfast buffet, and of course, Mana Smokehouse Restaurant. I have eaten in this restaurant a couple of times and what a treat to find something different in Thailand. Great smokey ribs, burgers, hot dogs, plus an enticing array of house specials, and the wedges are to die for. There is of course a second menu if you choose to follow the local Thai flavours. What surprised me most is the inexpensive cost for this type of food. Cheaper to eat here than at the markets. The hotel is a great $ value hotel, very close to the very large Jungceylon shopping centre and all the interesting markets and beaches. I will certainly be putting this hotel on my 'to stay places' for future visits.

We stayed here for 3 weeks. The staff were professional & friendly. In the mornings, breakfast was prepared by Chopper, who went out of his way to accommodate us, along with the rest of the kitchen staff. Sareena was also a happy & cheerful person to see every morning. On the 7th floor you'll find the rooftop infinity pool which most of the time during our stay, had the bar attended to by Apichat He called us by name after our first day & he never forgot them during our stay. Pakru greeted us many times on our return to the hotel & always asked about our day/night. We also had the pleasure of meeting the GM of the hotel, Jay, & as an Australian, like us, he went out of his way to make us feel welcome. The hotel is in a great, central location & is close to everything in Patong. We'll be to stay here again.

Great value Great location Great comfort Staff are very friendly and helpful. Check in was easy as. $55 AUD a night with breakfast is a steal. There is a great range at breakfast and plenty of seating. Wifi is reliable and strong. The rooms are modern and well maintained. Bed linen and comfort is amazing. Safe and mini bar. All the usuals. Location is king. Very quiet and no construction nearby at time of writing. Diagonally opposite the hotel is the street that leads into Bangla Road which is a block away. 10 minute walk to the beach and plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. The rooftop pool is nice. The gym has a limited selection of Dumbbells up to 20kg. Good modern dual cable rack and a flat/incline bench. Enough to get you through. Location and value is right here: Boom

Had the pleasure of meeting Jay Penno, the GM, as my wife and I were checking out yesterday morning at this property. If you are a first time tourist like us, or someone who wants to see the vibrant nightlife of Patong's infamous Bangla street - this is definitely where I would recommend staying - it's a 5 minute walk away so you don't deal with the noise, but close enough to walk home comfortably at night. All the restaurants and bars are right around the corner, and the beach is a 7 minute walk away. Taxis, scooters, pharmacies... you name it, all a stone's throw away. The hotel is surprisingly good for the price - room is of decent size, and the bathrooms come with rain showers. Breakfast is included, and it's decent. The rooftop pool is definitely the highlight, with a nice bar to go along with it. Hotel provides beach towels, room service, complimentary water everyday, simple check in and check out. Value for money, it's unbeatable in Patong - we looked at several places before we chose this one.

Stayed 4d in this hotel. Clean, quiet and very gd loc. 2min walk to jungceylon mall, 10 to banglard and patong beach. U get what u paid for. But one thing, We were out in the morning on our last day, came back 11.45 and room was locked which prompted my hubby to go down and settle. They gave us 30mins to pack all up, so rush but manageable, I understand that they were fully booked as the recep.told me and it's not possible for a late check in. Breakfast was fine, although the same all throughout our stay. Run out of egg on our 2nd day, waited quite long to replenish. Overall stay was good. Will probably stay and recommend. Thank you for being our home for 4d

Dear Emmy B, Thank you for you review and I am glad you enjoyed your stay at BEST WESTERN Patong Beach, in regards to you being locked out of your room we have a very good security system that applies both in the rooms and in the elevators and it will not be the case where we have "locked your door" it will just be the card and the expiry time that is programmed into it. Sorry if it was a bit of a rush however you are correct we are fully booked a lot and managing room inventory can be challenging. We look forward to have you stay with us again Kind regards Jay Penno General Manager

REEPERR, New Delhi, India 23/08/2016

Stayed at the hotel for 6 nights. Rooms are decent size so are the washrooms. Hotel has a medium sized lobby. WiFi inside the rooms worked well. Air conditioning was perfect! House keeping did a fair job as well. Sometimes there were stains on towels but they were quick to replace them. Location is central. 7 eleven : 3 minutes walk Money changer: right in front of the hotel. Jungceylon mall : 6-7 minute walk Bangla road : 8-10 minute walk Patong beach: 10-12 minute walk Gym is on the top floor and it's decent. Buffet breakfast was ok. Staff unable to fully understand or speak English but we managed. Santosh did a good job in checking us inn. Pam needs English classes! Ploy was quick to assist whenever needed! Two negatives: 1) Marisa the tour desk girl sent me in a completely wrong location upon asking her about thai airways office. Asked her to get me their phone number off the Internet and she denied & said "cannot". Weird. For everyone reading this, thai airways office is located in phuket town. There is NO thai airways office in patong area. Told the general manager about this incident and I learned that the tour desk lady isn't his employee. So guys be careful of what u ask the tour desk lady at the hotel! 2) there were many families with kids staying on our floor (4th) and we were woken up every morning by kids noise around 7am. Moreover, Walls of the rooms are too thin, one can literally hear the slightest of noise in the neighbouring room. Overall, hotel is ok. Recommend to solo, families, couples or even a group of friends. Being an ihg member, I would prefer one of the ihg hotels for my next visit to patong but recommend best western hotel to tourists on a budget.

this hotel is only a few steps away from Jungceylon mall, a few more to the beach, not bad. the hotel itself is well kept. relatively new and really really good for the price. the breakfast buffet is ok, they have everybody covered, sausages and ham for the meats, they have pasta, soup, omelettes, bread, pancakes, cereals and more. stayed there for 4 nights and nice staff. highly recommended for budget families, its not going to be luxury but it seems pretty decent and clean. they have a pool and gym on the rooftop which to me is a plus.

User 17/08/2016

One of the worst hotel chains (pardon me for damning all the other BW hotels) but the staff are totally slow, uneffective as well as the total lack of being customer oriented. As expected of a hotel chain, there simply wasnt any form of communications for a request on an early checkin raised. It was kept quiet and only told upon arrival. I wouldnt even compare the IHG/ Accor standards with them. True to the saying, u pay peanuts, u get monkeys!

GM B, General Manager at BEST WESTERN Patong Beach, responded to this review
Dear Scott N, Please drop me an email so we can work out what has happened here and if an early check in was your only issue ?? I need to know how this was communicated to us and where we had our communication failure, we are one of the busiest hotels in Patong area so sometimes if the occupancy is high early check ins are unavailable. I understand that you requested an early check in and we do our best to accommodate but it is still a "request" Just as a point for your next trip if you need to guarantee an early check in then may I suggest that you book the previous day to insure that the room is ready on arrival which most of my guests that have overnight flights do. My email address is below and I would appreciate if you could drop me an email so we can discuss. Also as we are a Thailand hotel the term "Monkeys" is a very insulting one and should not be used when referring to my staff jay.penno@bestwesternpatongbeach.com Jay Penno General Manager

The hotel location is 200m from the best night market: Ban Zaan (delicious local food stalls, clothes and gadgets on sale every night). Also a couple hundred metres from Jungceylon shopping centre, and central for most of the exploring around Patong Beach. Breakfast buffet was delicious with exceptional variety. Staff were courteous and always helpful. Roof top pool was ideal. Only negatives would be: The rooms have adjoining doors (with the next-door room), and although this remains locked, it is paper-thin, so you can hear everything that your neighbour says, does and WILL be woken up when they start moving around.

Alicia847, Penang, Malaysia 08/08/2016

Best Western is a pretty hotel that is located a 10 minutes walk from Patong Beach but still in the middle of the busy city. Rooms are of decent size, very clean and well-maintained. My favourite thing about this hotel was the infinity pool on the 7th floor from which you can watch the crowded streets. My only complain was the restaurant- firstly, the breakfast buffet was very limited and did not offer a wide variety of food. Secondly, because the noodle station is in the middle of the restaurant, our clothes, hair and skin smelled like fried noodle every morning so be mindful of that. Overall- a good choice for not extremely picky eaters.

We stayed a family of 4 for eleven nights. The room was spacious and well maintained. The cleaning was excellent. Our kids loved the pool area and in the after noon the rooftop infinity pool is beautiful. The location is perfect and there are many restaurants and local markets nearby. Also close (300 meters)to the biggest shopping mall. There is a travel agency in the lobby and the front desk staff are friendly and helpful. We ordered room service, which was quick and tasted good. The breakfast was good and there was something for everyone, our kids especially enjoyed the pancake machine. All in all a very good hotel to stay at and we will definitely stay here again!

It was a 45 min drive in a taxi to reach this hotel.We checked into the hotel at 10.30p.m. Room was good and neat.But no welcome drink or anything.There was a kettle in the hotel and a mini bar.But they charge extra for the mini bar.House keeping service was done daily.Bagla road and Patong beach is only 10 min walk from the hotel.So many shops and travel agencies are near by.So we could book taxi easily .sight seeing package was also reasonable in the near by travel agency.Swimming pool was good but it was in the roof top.So should be careful while taking kids.Breakfast is too good.So many varieties of food.

Really nice hotel and really close to the shopping centre, Bangla road, walk to the beach. The staff were really amazing! From Ice who checked us in to the housekeeping staff who say hello to us every morning. The General Manager was kind enough to say hello to us during our stay and find out whether we were having a great comfortable stay with them. The room was clean and the hotel in general. Breakfast was amazing. Had planned to stay for 5 nights but quickly added 4 more! The price was very pocket friendly, lower than I had expected. I would 100% recommend anyone who would like to stay there. Thanks so much Best Western patong for making my holiday memorable.” Kob khun ka!

74ajay2015, New Delhi, India 26/07/2016

It was a 4 day trip to Thailand with friends. I stayed two days in Patong, Phuket with one of my friend. If you want to visit Phuket, stay in Patong area which is around 45 mintues from the airport. Individual taxi is expensive @ 800 BHT you can take a sharing Van/Mini Bus (12 people) which is also very comfortable & cheap also @180 BHT & it will drop you at your hotel doorstep. Patong is a happening area of Phuket. Beaches, lots of Hotel options, good message parlors, night life (Bangla Street), Night Clubs, Thai Boxing Stadium are within 200-1000 mts from the hotel. Hotel is nicely located in the heart of Patong. Guest charges are very high as much as 1000 BHT without any negotiation. Swimming pool is at 7th floor, no smoking is allowed in hotel rooms, you can go to the pool area for smoking. Nice view of mountains from the pool side. Very limited food options for Vegetarians,you can go to berger king (200 Mts. from the hotel) for vegetarian burgers. Mc Donald don't keep any vegetarian in their menu. Must try some fresh fruits available on streets. Overall a nice trip......worth mentioning a evening show "Fantasia" 1600-1800 BHT (Including meal) & Trip to Fe-Fe island by Small cruise 1200 BHT. Take the upper deck for view, Do not forget to have your cap or hat, Slippers & glasses & Camera.

We arrived in on a very late flight from Korea, but got checked in smoothly with a nice comfortable bed and room. We stayed in room 409 on the 4th floor towards the back which was away from all the noise in the front which helped a lot. Had a little issue in our shower but I must say Jay (general manager) resolved/handled the situation very professionally which tells you how well managed the place is. I will definitely be staying here again especially since the WiFi was so fast/strong and the main strip bangla road is steps away. The breakfast was so good so don't miss out. Room gets cleaned very well, and it also has a safe to store your valuables in. The only issue I had was being able to hearing everything from the people in room next to us and the loud noise in the hallways, also the toilet and shower could use a good scrub.

I stayed at this hotel in May for around 10 nights and must say It felt like home. The Room I had was lovely and quite modern which was nice being in Phuket. Ok the second night I had the neighbours from hell arrive and the hotel moved me to the next floor without any trouble.i would definitely recommend this hotel for location and the nice little rooftop pool it has which I didn't get to use much as it was rainy season ( sigh ) ! I will definitely be returning to this hotel in December when I return for my second visit when the weather is hot :) I would also recommend making a left turn outside the hotel and about 500 yards is a night market were you can sample the finest delicacies of Thai cuisine ...superb market !!! Good Points : Staff are great , Location , Modern rooms , Hot shower , rooftop pool , cleaning staff , Breakfast , Room service , free scooter parking . Bad Points : Gym needs improvement , laundry service was very expensive , Room service food could be better Apart from that I loved the place and can't wait to return .... See you in December !!!

Best Western Patong Beach is a stone's throw away from Jungceylon, a mecca of shops, the biggest there. It's priceless when your phone dies in a swell of salt water ... as mine did the day before you fly out, and level 3 of Best Western Staff made sure I got the help i needed. Level 3 of Jungceylon IT wizes fixed my phone that same night, before I was due to fly the next morning... unbelievable. The BW team looked after me throughout my stay... from breakfast, to towels, to maps, directions, which beaches are clean, swimmable, food tips and more. Most importantly its up the road from the Muay Thai Boxing Stadium and Bangla Road, an experience not to be missed at least once on the Island and within a few minutes walk from BW Hotel ... helps when you pot drunk! Thank you to the team at BW for making my three day stay in Phuket seem so much longer ... safe comfortable and super fun!

miniyvonne, Glasgow, United Kingdom 27/06/2016

We checked in and were given a key to the room, we entered and the room had dirty dishes and no bed sheets- it was obviously not ready for anyone to stay in. We went back to reception and were given another room- the second room this time was full of luggage and was clearly someone else's room. This angered and worried us due to the fact that staff could have gave this key to a person that could have taken the suitcases, or even disturbed a family. The staff apologised about this and third time lucky we were given a clean room, with a great size bathroom. The location is amazing and it close enough to night life and also quiet at night time. The swimming pool on the roof was a great treat. I would stay here again, everyone makes mistakes but the hotel was great value for money

Stayed here for a night during a recent trip. Very nice set up. Liked the all white theme color of the whole resort. Conveniently located in Patong. Not by the beach, but very close to major attractions in Patong. Jungceylon Mall is just a few steps away, Bangla Road is not too far as well. Not as hectic or crowded as compared to hotels on the beach side or the other road. Staff are friendly and helpful. Good English makes is easy to communicated. Breakfast were acceptable. Would return to this resort one day.

A straightforward hotel that is neither beach hotel nor resort. It provides simple, clean accommodation of a modern standard. It is conveniently located for shopping and is only a short walk down the street that plays host to Patong's nightlife. There is a pool on the roof. Breakfast buffet was adequate and fresh. If you are just looking for somewhere to sleep, this is the place,for you. If you want the resort experience, there is plenty of choice in and around Patong. If you are coming to Patong on a family holiday it is probably best to avoid Bangla Road, with its bars and sex shows, at night.

The hotel is located very near to the most happening place in Phuket, "Bangla Road"... The hotel is very accessible to the night life area and many local markets. Budget stay. Unfortunately I left my book- "The Fault in Our Stars" by John Green which I realized only during on my way to the airport. The hotel room service guy also didn't check properly as he would've returned the book to us if he had thoroughly checked our room before we settled our bill. So be cautious of your things and do ensure you've collected all your belongings before you leave the premises as you're not guaranteed by the room service staff who ensures final check just for a sake.

User 08/06/2016

Great location, very close to everything. At the time of booking the price was very reasonable stayed 11 nights for about AUD $50/ night. Stayed in a superior room with city view. Must admit the hotel's balconies are ridiculously small,not sure why they even there as you can't even sit out. More so a spot for smoking:-( The room.is spacious plenty of room for 2. The only downfall was the bathroom it was flooding and even though reported it at reception nothing really happened...toiletries were missed to be replaced quite a few times and missed towels here and there but nothing major they wouldn't be able to.fix. more just an oversight by staff. The pool: open in the morning bit you can't get towels til 11 am. I mean right on.the spot 11 even if the staff is up earlier you have to wait. Its rather funny. They should add it to the rooms instead as seen.in other hotels. Gym is good with a great view, we used it daily.breakfast is of good value. The staff is very courteous but not in your way. Any request is accommodated. Seen better egg- stations in the past, but upon requesting anything you get it. Instead of pancake machine should be made at the egg station too. Overall great hotel, great bed, good sized room. Good location. We stayed in Paring 3 times before would definitely come back here.

"GOOD... UNTIL THE HOUSEKEEPER NEARLY SAW ME NAKED..."

TheMiniMillionaire, Wakefield 06/06/2016

Our forth hotel in Thailand, first in Phuket. We managed to get this hotel for £28 per night (booked for two nights) we tried to book online for further two nights but the price had doubled (I tried asking at reception and she just told me the hotel was full... I believe the Internet somehow) This place is a great hotel at £30 or so a night, it's not worth £57 judging by the hotel we've gone to next in Patong which was also around the £30 mark. The staff were very welcoming on arrival, and the check-in process was very simple and easy. The room is of a good size and the bathroom is really nice. The entire hotel is spotless. We were on the 7th floor (best floor to be on as it's the same floor as the swimming pool & the gym) We looked at getting our laundry done by the hotel but it was around 10x more than the rest of the tourist offices were asking. A shirt cost more to wash with them than 1KG of clothes elsewhere. The pool is small, it has a bar with staff available for the majority of the day as well as complimentary towels. Despite the pools size while we were there it was very quiet only ever two other couples around so that was good. On our second night we went back to the room around 4pm, the maid had been and as I'd been in the pool I decided to get a shower before having a nap. As I got undressed there was a quick knock at the door, a buzz of the card being highlighted at the door and within a second the door was open. It took my parter a good fifteen seconds to try and get the housekeeper to leave. The entire room had been serviced so unsure what she was coming back for, and very lucky that I was where I was and I wasn't alone otherwise it could have been very embarrassing. Previously we've expected staff to knock and at least comment and wait a few seconds before attempting to enter the room. On our day of check-out they were doing some work in the lobby area. It was around 10 past 11 and we wanted to try and get some lunch from the hotels restaurant / bar. They explained lunch wasn't served until 11.30am and that we couldn't wait in the restaurant until that time despite it being empty and the whole lobby area being in up-raw as they tried to retile the floor - instead we left for our new hotel. My final comment on this hotel would be its location. While very convent for the shopping centre, Bangla road and the beach it does require you to cross a road in front of the hotel which is probably the busiest road in Patong. There's four lanes of rapid traffic, hundreds of scooters and motorbikes that literally don't have a care in the world. Regardless the time of day it's like playing chicken with your life!

Stayed here for 12 nights. Staff were fantastic, they looked after us extremely well. Had full understanding of English so communication was easy. I will certainly go back to this hotel the stay was really good, The pool area is great and well serviced with plenty of shade cover if required. Just need to watch for the poles supporting some covered areas as they are quite low as easily walked into

BW_PatongBeach, General Manager at BEST WESTERN Patong Beach, responded to this review
Dear Michael W, Thank you for your review and we are glad you enjoyed your stay with us, as I am 6'4'' I feel your pain as far as the structure that covers the bar at pool side is concerned as I have also cracked my head on it as well, unfortunately there are height restrictions in regards to structures on roof tops so that is why it is at that level. It is never an issue if you are from Asia as they clear it by a long way but us tall Australians have to watch out......We look forward to welcoming you back to BEST WESTERN Patong Beach in the near future.

Puteriandalas, Klang, Malaysia 15/05/2016

After our flight from Malaysia and a few hours of City Tour we checked into this hotel. It's our first time spending nights in Phuket. The streets were crowded I enjoyed snapping good photos of the Phuket and the beaches. Before catching the early flight (7.30am departure) we had little sleep at home, to hurry ourselves to the KLIA airport at 3 a.m. No sleep in flight to compensate (though I really need it), since the weather were not that good and had several bumps during the 2 1/2 hrs. flight. Reaching Phuket the streets were too interesting to keep my eyes closed. We were wide awake snapping photos of the crowded streets full of people. Shops, people, vehicles, noises coloured the streets. It was later in the afternoon when we finally reached Best Western Patong Beach Hotel. The premise large and clean. Some of the staf spoke good English and are friendly. The lobby and dining area spacious and airy. The lifts several and working well. The beds comfortable and my room was the one facing the neighbouring hotel blue pool. Bedding very comfortable and up to our expections. With lack of sleep we slept like dead logs and almost missed our 'Siam Niramit' the Thailand's Must See Show. The next day we visited the pool at the 7th floor. It is beautiful. No one there except us since the sun was shining well above our heads. We filled the afternoon and night walking and shopping at nearby shops which are numerous nearby. We had cheap durians at the roadside fruit stall across the hotel. We rested well in this good hotel before proceeding to Krabi as our next destination.

NandaLinnAung, Bangkok, Krung Thep, Thailand 13/05/2016

We had had a fantastic time in May 2016 where we stayed 3 nights. We love the pool on 7th floor and we requested to arrange the room on highest floor and in fact did. The staff are friendly and the breakfast is better than average for us. We didn't have trouble eating breakfast for 3 days and they tried to rotate the dishes. Moreover, we didn't find heaps of group tours around this time which actually brought peace of mind. Overall, we don't find any issues with the property and would recommend. We choose over sleep with me for this property because this would be a better choice and I think it still is. Near to Bangla street and all amenities including Jung Ceylon shopping center where we enjoyed our rest days and coffee. Will visit again.

Very nice place and very reasonable price for dining. I am a but surprise because the quality of food and service are very good comparing to what I have spent.

Great stay at Best Western. The room was comfortable and clean. The pool area on the 7th floor is amazing and it has great views of the city. The hotel is very central and we walked almost everywhere. It is about 2 mins walk from the Banzan night market that has great food options. It is also 2 mins walks to Jungceylon Mall and about 5 mins walk to Bangla Road (walk through the mall for short cut route). But the best part of the hotel was the staff. They were so nice and helpful. Especially Angie who went out of way to make us feel welcome and help us with whatever we needed. More hotels need staff like her. Only complaint is that the wifi in the room was not very fast

"A Memorable Songkran in Patong"

KingRomeo, KL 01/05/2016

Thank you Mr Penno for the generous industry rate for us despite during Songkran high season. Even we did not have the chance to meet, your kind gesture will always be remembered. Our reservations was then professionally being handled by Paew. The van driver was waiting for us the airport as scheduled. Check-in was a breeze even though reception counter was quite busy with other guests. One out of three rooms wasn't ready but it only took 15 minutes for the Housekeeping to prepare. Two of our rooms were facing a building block which looks like a staff quarters. We tried to ask sweet Patty at the Front Desk for room move (facing swimming pool of another resort condo) but due to high occupancy, it was almost impossible. A Maintenance staff was quick to fix blockage of shower drainage in my room and loosened hand bidet in another room. We like the complimentary bottled water on the pantry cabinet but they weren't being replenished if we don't finish up the whole bottle. Same goes with the bathroom amenities i.e. shower gel and shampoo. Pakru at the Concierge was helpful and provided us with plenty information. We also would like to commend the girl with glasses at the restaurant (name forgotten) - she was always with her smile attending to many patrons during breakfast rush hours. I particularly enjoyed the pancakes which were produced by a self-serviced machine. I would not say Bestwestern is centrally located. Indeed, it is close to numerous shops, eateries, Junceylon and Bangla Road, but a 15 minutes walk to the beach in 33-35 degrees humidity could sometimes be a challenge. Fortunately there's a Scooter Rental outlet just across the hotel - we ended up renting motorbikes for the entire 5 days we were there. Quite a nice swimming pool at the rooftop but a little small - too many people were using it so we did not enjoy it as much. Wifi coverage in our room was somewhat poor, unlike the other two at the opposite end of corridor. Perhaps this is something Mr Penno wishes to improve. All in all, we have had a great time in Phuket. Should our travel plan brings us back to Phuket, we shall definitely consider Bestwestern again.

We booked a few rooms here the night before Songkran 2016. Everything was smooth from arrival. There's an easy location for unloading luggage and plenty of car parking around the back. The helpful reception checked us in quickly and we were helped to our rooms within minutes of arrival. The hotel has a new menu (the BBQ Ribs are amazing) along with a new lounge area that is very open and inviting. We returned here after our stay for another meal to try the other items on the menu. Make sure you try the Macaroni and Cheese! All of the rooms we booked had free WiFi, really comfortable beds, good size tv's and amazing showers. The water was very hot and the rain style shower head was brilliant to relax with. We got a massive breakfast before heading to the festival. The full buffet style menu had every type of breakfast dish imaginable, and everything we tried tasted fresh. The orange juice had a unique flavour that noone liked but other wise it was an excellent way to start the day. We checked out and were able to leave the car and our luggage locked safely in the hotel which allowed us to all enjoy the Songkran festival. Thanks to Jay and all the team at Best Western Patong for a great night, breakfast and

User 23/04/2016

I booked this hotel very last minute after going to another hotel and walking out because it was so bad. This was by far the best hotel we stayed at in Thailand for the price we paid (roughly 30 pounds a night) The location is a 10 minute walk from the beach and a 5 minute walk from Bangla road and the other busy nightlife. The lobby of the hotel is completely open plan and really modern and clean. Hotel staff here were brilliant and worked as quickly as possible to get us into our rooms as I had only confirmed the online booking 15 minutes before and they hadn't received the confirmation from booking.com. The lady at reception gave us different options for our room which Is rare. we opted for a twin room on the top floor with the beds pushed together. This was sorted immediately for us. The rooms really were spotless and I'm quite sure I could smell fresh paint. the shower was really powerful, bed was very comfortable, the view was brilliant, no noise from other rooms, A/C worked very well I could go on all day. The rooftop infinity pool was top notch, clean well maintained sunbeds and sun loungers. The bar has happy hour on cocktails and the food is above average although pricey. I would definitely recommend this hotel if you don't mind spend slightly above average to Thai prices, if you want to spend a few nights in a good hotel then this is the place to be. Perfect for couples families singles or bag packers. would stay here again.

Rooms luxuriously appointed and very comfortable and very quiet. Loved the extra big shower head!!! Staff super helpful and excellent English. Love that it's a bit away from the more touristy and seedy part of Patong, while still being accessible to everything. Ate at the restaurant - WOW- smokehouse food at its best, and good prices. Breakfast was lavish - nothing left off the menu and was served till late so no rushing about to get there on time!! The only disappointment was the juice was not very good :-) Hope to get the opportunity to stay here again on my next visit to Phuket ??

Location is the selling point of this hotel. Staff were friendly and the check in was smooth. Rooms are average and the beds are small. Bathroom is good with a big shower. At breakfast we had the feeling like sitting inside a chinese tour bus without aircon and try to enjoy with a to loud group. Check out need to long with 15 min.

BW_PatongBeach, General Manager at BEST WESTERN Patong Beach, responded to this review
Dear Lieschen G, Thank you for your feedback and yes at the moment we do have some Chinese tour groups and breakfast can be a bit "Hectic" to say the least please be advised this is the trend right throughout Phuket/Thailand at the moment so all hotels in the area are experiencing the same issues with these groups. Breakfast is always fine after 9am after the Chinese groups have left the hotels and it returns to its normal quiet self for the remainder of the day. We look forward to welcoming you back to BEST WESTERN Patong Beach in the near future. Kind regards Jay Penno General Manager

"Good location"

Zafeer, Miami 13/04/2016

It is located 10 mins walk from the Patong beach. Good sized rooms. They provide beach towels to take to the beach. The breakfast selection in the morning is very good with cereal, egg station, toast, juices coffee and tea etc. the rooms are air conditioned but the corridor, lobby area, restaurant etc are not. The swimming pool is small. They only replenish soap and shampoo daily. Toiletries like toothbrush, disposable razor, earbuds etc. are not replenished. I stayed 6 days. Only two glass bottles of filter water is complementary every day. Have to get your own if more needed. The staff is helpful and friendly but with limited English. ,

Tomas R, Prague, Czech Republic 08/04/2016

± Beautiful, clean hotel at the heart of Patong (if Phuket's underbelly is what you're after) ± Fast internet ± rooftop pool and fitness - Thin walls and no carpets in corridors carry sound like crazy. Pray for quiet neighbours or your sleep will be light - Don't order trips or taxi through the hotel - or expect to pay ±100% (trip to Raya island: 2400b instead of 1000b etc). If you hoped that Best Western will help you avoid scammers and rip-offs, bad luck

BW_PatongBeach, General Manager at BEST WESTERN Patong Beach, responded to this review
Dear Tomas R, Thank you for your review and yes this is party central but the up side to that is that we are central to everything beach, shopping, nightlife and all Phuket's activities. Our travel desk is yes a little higher than what you will pay on the street but we use only trustworthy suppliers and tour operators that do as instructed and not divert from original plans to take the guest willing or not to shops and restaurants where the street vendors get a kick back so yes in that regards they are cheaper but you never know what or where you may end up. Our guests safety is paramount to us and this is the reason why we use those supplier's/tour operators. As you have obviously purchased your tour though us you would not have had the displeasure of the mishaps and misadventures that the street vendors submit people to. If I can help with any future bookings either hotel or tours please feel free to contact me directly. Kind regards Jay Penno General Manager

jack k, Brisbane, Australia 07/04/2016

Spent one night here before flying back to Bangkok, payed around $76-80 Australian for the night . Hotel was lovely and clean/modern bed was nice and soft , first night when we walked into the room the cleaners had forgotten our ammenities I.e soap etc. breakfast was awesome. Slightly on the expensive side for Patong , about a 5 minute walk to Bangla road. Besides that okay for a night or two but wouldn't bother spending such a high rate for Patong

Very clean and modern hotel in an ideal location. Situated close to Banglawalk and Patong beach, but away from the noise (request room at back of hotel to be sure). Breakfast is very good, great choice of hot and cold food including Thai options. Staff very friendly and helpful. This was a very last minute booking for me and was pleasantly surprised with the hotel.

We stayed at BW Patong for 5 nights and it was an amazing experience. From checking in to checking out the service was amazing. The breakfast is perfect and has variety from an egg station to buffet style, curries, sausages, ham, fruits,juices,coffee/tea and the banana bread is to die for! Everything's clean and tidy, well set up and compared to the other hotels we've stayed at this one had the best variety and staff in their restaurant. Then there's the room: It's new, it's bright, it's super clean/cozy/comfortable, the washroom and shower are perfect.it was so nice to come back from a long salty day and step into that room. There's also a small balcony to get some fresh air! There's a bar fridge and snacks too. The closet is huge and clean with a safe! Pool area: just unreal! It's beautiful and romantic. The pool is clean and just peaceful. There's a bar up there also to have a few drinks. Last but not least, the GM and STAFF: Jay, your staff...all the managers, front desk agents, Bell boys.... All of you were just great. We don't even know how to thank you for what you did for us. The fact that you gave us your rooftop to get married on was a blessing. All of our family and Friends love the space and think it looks beautiful and it really did. We really wish you could have been there to see the inaugural wedding at your hotel. If or when we come back, there's no question.... We will be staying with you guys again. Tell Ice and Pinky we miss them also. I'll be sending everyone I know to stay with you all, so please take care of them like you did with us! By far, the best Best Western we've ever stayed at! Thanks again!

gmcas2, Melbourne, Australia 14/03/2016

I really enjoyed this place. location was two blocks south of the beach but realistically only a 7min walk from it. My husband and I arrived here unexpectedly as our original accomodation had been a disaster. We were originally told there was no rooms available however thanks to TripAdvisor we managed to get one and at the humble price of $102 aud including breakfast for a room on the 6th floor. The hotel is open and spacious, it really feels like your on holiday the minute you walk through. The Gorgeous big bay Beverley edge mirrors, white Venetian wooden bifolds, transparent ghost replica chairs and man made ponds with fish all add to the luxury and make this place beautiful. Not to mention breakfast was a delight. Omelette station was great, a choice of three cereal, three juice, fruit, and an array of eastern dishes to help conquer any appetite. However in saying that we did order a few drinks and chips at the pool area upstairs and was a little disappointed. A) there was no music or vibe and b) when we did order the drinks and food it took (on several occasions) at least 15minutes to 30minutes to arrive, even for a simple water. . I would hope these two things do change as its really the only negative. The pool area itself was wonderful. Not to big and well thought through with banana lounges table and chairs as well as lounge beds. The pool was clean and the view of both the mountains and hustling Patong was intriguing. I found myself coming up here to relax often, and thanks to the perfect wether got a great tan :) The rooms were a delight. Not to big but big enough. To was also big enough and was encapsulated in nice moulding giving that extra bit of detail to the room. Very lux satin curtains not allowing a peep of light in wich is perfect for those big nights out. Shower was nice and big with good pressure! This is one of the big ones for me and is definetly one of the better showers I have used whilst staying in Patong (eight trip). Aircon was great. Bed was great. Pillows were fluffy and head comfortable sank in. Room was immaculately clean and to be frank I can't fault any of it. Staff were wonderful and have a storage department to store baggage etc for when you checkout of the rooms but have to wait around due to flight times. I love this as its secure. Luggage and valuable aren't having to be hoisted around or left in clear view in the middle of the lobby. Would definetly stay here again and I hope to sometime soon Safe travels G

"Great hotel to be in the middle of everything"

Kairacamello, London, United Kingdom 09/03/2016

Me and my family booked 2 rooms for 11 nights in this hotel (we're on our 7th night as of today). Hotel has a great location for night life, spa, shopping, beach. Breakfast is also okay for the price we paid. We did not have a problem upon check in- we arrived late around 11pm on our first night and in about 5 min. We were on our way to our rooms. We rented a car for 3 days and one of the staff (i will update with her name later) at the restaurant was very helpful. She gave us suggestions of places to see and tips on the nice beach clubs to go to in the evenings. Her english is also very good so we had no trouble with communication. Another staff also assisted us in getting tickets to Fantasea- an amazing show to watch if you're in Phuket. Most of the staff rendered great service, even the singer at the restaurant sang our requested songs! The problem we encountered happened today as guests next door checked in yesterday and were very noisy to the point of shouting in the middle of the night which kept us awake til about 3am. They also resumed on being very noisy at around 6 am! We thought we will speak to reception about it and request for a room transfer. The receptionist we spoke to at that time had a very hard time in communicating with us as her english was limited, which can be very frustrating for the guests. We managed to find out in the end that the loud guests will be checking out tomorrow so we thought we will endure it for another night. Oh well... I suggest that since the Best Western is a big chain of hotels, management should make sure the staff- especially in reception, should speak good English as they are the front people who directly communicate with the guests all the time! We ended up telling her to forget about our issue as we were getting frustrated and went back to our rooms. My overall review is this hotel is a good place to stay if you want to be in the centre of activities without spending too much.

macvanteh, Foshan, China 22/02/2016

I had stayed in Best Western in Tianjin and I found that Tianjin Best Western was better than the Best Western Hotel in Patong in several areas. The queen bed size is quite small as the room was small too. There were no separator between the shower area and the rest of washroom and the whole washroom was wet after I had shower. The choice of food during breakfast was limited. We stayed 3 days in the hotel and we hang on no disturb board on the door when went out; somehow, the cleaner still came in to clean the room. We accepted the cleaner rudeness; somehow, the cleaner did not refill back the clean towels and toiletries! I called the operator to ask for the clean towels and toiletries refill; somehow, I was sent 2 blue color towels only and I told the boy that I needed toiletries refill too, but the boy did not come back. After waiting for more than an hour, I realized something was amiss and I checked the towels and found that I was offered swimming pool towels instead of the room towels. I took the blue towels and went down to the receptionist and talked to her in English slowly and then she understood my issues and she asked the boy to send me all the refill. I understood that Thai English was not that good because I did have Thai colleagues, somehow, I would expect good English command for the phone operator of International brand Hotel. At the end of the day, I found that the hotel was only good value for the location as It was near to Junceylon and local market.

I had to wait for 2 hours to check inn besides putting on a request prior at the time of booking. Secondly I moved here from another hotel in bangkok. I was not hoping anything great but u cannot sleep at night as there is no sound proofing. People go and come on odd hours and u get disturbed. Good hotel on budget. Staff keep on smiling and do everything to help you. All in all it would have been a better place for me to stay given the name behind

Dear David O, Thank you very much for your review, We are experiencing some delays at the moment as we are running 100% through the entire month in Feb. I am curious to know if you were trying to check in early as my check out time is quite late compared to most hotels through this period and sometime it takes a little time to redo the rooms for the incoming guests, we run this as an extra service as most flights home are late at night and it is hard to check out early then wait up to 10 hrs for your flight home. This does however cause some delays if you do try and check in before 2pm which is our check in time. Please drop me an email so I can go over this check in delay in more detail and try and prevent this for future guests. jaypenno@bestwesternpatongbeach.com Regards Jay Penno General Manager

User 14/02/2016

Tour operators use this hotel so guests are shouting and screaming in the corridors to communicate between rooms. There is no sound proofing at all. You can hear everything in the next room and I mean everything ! The beds are too hard for most Europeans. There are no English channels on the TV. I guess this hotel is marketed for the Chinese clientele. So unless your are from an asian country I would definitely never stay here. If you complain at reception about the noise they just shrug their shoulders. I guess the Chinese market is far more important to them than one two visitors from Europe .

BW_PatongBeach, General Manager at BEST WESTERN Patong Beach, responded to this review
Dear Steven P, Thank you for your review, I do feel your pain with the Chinese groups they can be quite excited and exuberant at times we did have a lot of groups in the hotel when you did stay as that period was Chinese New Year and during that period Chinese are the predominate guests right through out Thailand and all hotels have the same. During normal periods and not Chinese New Year we have a varied mix of nationalities and no where near as many groups. If you do travel back to Phuket please drop me an email and we will sort out something for your next stay. Regards Jay Penno General Manager

Just a few minutes walking distance to Jungceylon mall (the food bazaar on the ground floor is a nice air conditioned alternative to night market but closes around 9.00) and the night market with various food stalls. New property with nice clean rooms and a rooftop pool and a basic mini-gym. Good value for money. Especially if you go on day trips, in my case scuba diving, and do not spend much time in the hotel. Front office staff, always smiling and welcoming. Also was quite happy with the housekeeping. Very thoughtful and considered. At the end you get what you pay for. So do not expect 5-Star offerings.

Tony W, Sydney 25/01/2016

While this hotel ticks a number of boxes, especially location just up the road from Jungceylon, the service standards were below par for Best Western. The check in was not very smooth. The off street parking was great. The room was clean and the bed was great. The servicing of the room was an issue with the rubbish bins not being emptied despite them being full. One issue was the staff were not as friendly as you come to expect in Thailand. Small issues and would consider staying here again as the price point is very good for Patong.

This is my 6th time to Patong and as far as value for money goes the Best Western has been the best hotel I have stayed at so far. We originally stayed for 6 nights and then went to cape panwa for 3 night and had 2 nights after that which were unbooked, we decided to stay at the Best Western again as we were so happy from our first experience. We were looked after from the time we arrived until the time we left. Couldn't ask for a better location, walking distance to beach and the heart of patong which saves a surprising amount of money on tuk tuk's and taxis. Breakfast was great and rooms were spacious and always cleaned well. Will definitely be coming back!!!

travellingwoodburys, Sydney, Australia 22/01/2016

I'm staying at the hotel at the moment with my family. These are the last few days of what has been a wonderful couple of weeks exploring Thailand. We came to finish it off in Phuket because it's a place we all love. I booked this a long time ago based on reviews from TripAdvisor. I hoped for 2 rooms side by side for my family to be near each other but we are 1/2 way down the corridor from each other which is ok but not my preference. I don't expect much from hotels but I do hope for a peaceful time and a good night sleep. That didn't happen. There are people coming and going at all hours of the night, calling out, slamming doors etc and there is a building going up across the road and loud noise from early morning. After having a lovely shower I grabbed my towel to dry and found it was ripped and dirty (see photo) It's just not good standards. When booking rooms I always look for wifi, pool, breakfast. Unfortunately this time I must have rushed the booking and forgot to book breakfast. I was told it would be an extra 300baht per person. That's 1500baht a day. My 5 year old only eats a piece of toast and slice of watermelon. I'm not paying 300baht for that. This is our 3rd time in Patong. Our first time at this hotel and I would recommend to others to look elsewhere.

"11 Nights in Patong"

Jordan_Koumis, Canberra, Australia 17/01/2016

My fiancée and I stayed here for 11 nights for Christmas and New Years 15/16. The rooms were clean and spacious. The breakfast was also good but for you bacon lovers there is none. The service varied from the different parts in the hotel. The lady that greeted us for breakfast was always lovely and reception were helpful. The pool bar (not the pool) was the biggest let down with drinks taking forever to be made even during non happy hours because only one staff member works it. For future the hotel should have the pool area open New Year's Eve that was also a shame as it would've been great viewpoint for the fireworks. We paid less then $90 AUD a night which was great value and that included breakfast. If it was my first time to Patong I would definitely stay here as the location is great. Overall good budget hotel that gets the job done but could be better in regards to service.

"nice place to stay"

Sherryn S, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia 10/01/2016

This is a fairly new hotel so is fresh and modern. Room size was good, there was a small (stocked bar) fridge and tea and coffee making facilities (real milk would have been nice instead of creamer powder.. we just bought some from the family mart a couple of doors down the road). Nice modern bathroom with rainfall shower, soft close toilet seat and shower/conditioner and beautifully scented bodywash supplied, (some lotion would be a nice touch). The rooftop pool and bar were very nice.. unfortunately the spa wasn't working for the last few days we were there and the barman was very friendly and helpful, trying to find out when it would be fixed for us ..Wifi was great all over the property.. our room.. the pool.. and down in the lounge/bar and lobby... did not drop out once. Reception staff friendly and helpful and when we were without towels a quick call to them and they were delivered within minutes. Requests for extra coffee and tea and toilet paper were also dealt with promptly. We ate breakfast in the restaurant once and there was plenty to choose from. The hotel is on a busy road but street noise did not affect us, we were on 7th floor overlooking the lovely pool next door. We didn't find noise from other guests to be a problem either. It is 3 minutes walk to Banzaan Markets, 4 to Muay Thai Stadium and Tiger Bar, 5 to Jungceylon shopping centre, 10 to Bangla Rd and 15 to the beach. The Indian pancake cart out the front in the evening is great... yummy banana and chocolate pancakes with condensed milk. I would definitely stay here again. The one thing I can think of to make it better would be more tv channels, especially in English... watching the same news items over and over gets a bit boring.

This hotel ticks all boxes. It is quite new & well situated. A short walk to the Jungceylon, Bangla Road, shops and beach. The hotel also has a magnificent roof top pool and bar with fantastic views over Patong to the sea. Great for watching those New Year fireworks! There is also a Gymnasium and a great restaurant with a large breakfast buffet. Well appointed rooms & friendly staff top off a great hotel!

Back to Best western Hotels. We stayed here for 5 days over New Years. As usual this hotel Chain is absolutely clean with nice comfortable rooms and good breakfast. The house keeping and front office always ready to help with a warm smile. The hotel is well located with all the things such as Bars, Pubs, Restaurants, Tattoo shops, 7 Eleven and family Mart shops, plenty of fruit vendors and massage parlors and all types of reasonably priced restaurants around. Bikes on hire and taxis available jus outside the hotel. The Gala New Years Dinner at the hotel was fun and exciting with a lot of prizes given away to guests with some fabulous music. The popular JUNG CEYLON shopping Mall with Robinson's, BIG C extra, an Cine-max and plenty of other shops is just a 10 minutes walk from the hotel. Another 2-5 minutes walk away is the Bangla Street Walking Party Road and the Patong Beach.

jodragon, Gold Coast 01/01/2016

The good was the price paid for room including breakfast being a best western card holder I decided to try this hotel over xmas. The room size I only consider as being fair the bed for my liking too hard aimed at asian clientele. The buffet breakfast was definitely not the best as there was no real choice for westerners apart from the complimentary egg station again aimed at asian clientele. This is a boutique hotel with a lap infinity pool at the top of the 7th floor with a working bar from 11a - 7p. Due to the space restrictions the rooftop has 9 banana lounges and 5 cabanas yet at any one time there really wasn't room as these were taken by 9a. On two occasions there were no towels available and either had to go to the front desk or await them to arrive. I was disappointed with this hotel overall it is a place for couples only not families, it is well placed away from the hustle and bustle of Patong Beach being the 3rd road back from the beach and within 3 min walk of Jungceylon shopping centre. I rate it a 3.5 maybe a 4 star depending on your personal choice. Disappointed that I was asked to pay $2 for some ice. Best Western had a chance to hit the mark but in my view just missed. The room we were in 509 had paintwork peeling off the bathroom wall and door and rust at bottom of doorway. The bathroom was quite small the shower is a good size taking up over half the whole bath room with a good size shower head and pressure. Air conditioning worked well. Room wifi was very poor reception and kept disconnecting. I have stayed at better Best Western hotels but for the price did the job over xmas.

mohamed112222, Adelaide, Australia 29/12/2015

If you want a hotel with a nice rain shower, good air conditioner, good location, then this is the hotel for you, no problems with that, but that's where the good things end. I have been to Patong 4 times now and have enjoyed my time because of the places i have stayed at, with this place i actually could not wait to leave, i had booked 6 nights and i was ready to leave by the second night, if it wasn't for my dental appointments keeping me in Patong I would have left earlier. To start with I booked a city view and it was confirmed on the booking, i got a view of the opposite hotel, ok that's not a reason to whinge, i didn't care that much. When i checked in to the room I found the bed to be really hard so I went downstairs to see if i could have a different room with a softer bed, i was told no i couldn't because all the beds were the same and the best they could do was to send someone up to the room and put extra sheets on the bed to make it softer, ok no problems with that, well no matter how many extra sheets they put the bed was still very hard, after the second night i actually couldn't sleep properly, the next 4 nights were really hard to sleep comfortably, They advertise free Wifi, well if you want to use your wifi make sure that you ask for a bed in the lobby because that's the only place you will be able to use your wifi, every time you return to your room you will have to log back in, it takes about 5 minutes before it starts to work ,when it stops you will have to log out and log back in again, if you are lucky you might get a few minutes, i found that if you were in the bathroom you might get 5 minutes , so I would have to go down to the lobby to use it, oh and good luck finding a seat down there because every body else is down there using their phones, i guess their wifi in their rooms were the same. The security guards at the front need a lesson on customer service, the gentleman during the day doesn't even acknowledge you, I said good morning to him twice , didn't even get a response, he just looked away,and he always has this glum sullen look on his face like he doesn't want to be there, the only person that said anything was the porter. The first person people see when they come to the hotel is the guard at the front and if he is going to greet them with that look on his face well that's not a good start. This a customer based industry and if you don't treat your customers with a bit of friendliness then you shouldn't be there. Now to my biggest problem with this place , the TV, yes that's right I said TV. After my dental appointments i wanted to come back to my room, sit , relax and watch a bit of the PREMIUM CHANNELS that were promised on my booking, maybe watch a movie, catch up on some entertainment news,watch a bit of sport maybe, something to pass the time, well forget it, there is nothing to see here, If you only speak and understand english then the PREMIUM CHANNELS are only 3 channels for you to watch and they are all news, yes thats right NEWS, an American news channel, ALJEZZERA, and a Hong Kong based news channel that is in english, there are 19 channels all up , the rest are in Chinese, French, Italian, and Thai,.Now how many times can you watch the news, same stories all day, started getting depressed watching TV because all they could talk about was all the wars happening around the world, I became an expert on the news in 3 days, that's not how i like to relax, I was getting bored sitting in my room, I didn't want to be there anymore, not a good way to spend your time recovering. so for the last three days I would go down to the lobby to watch youtube, yes youtube, only way i could pass the time. It is disappointing that a chain like Best Western can not spend a bit of extra money on a TV package that can accomodate their guests . To add to my disappointment I emailed the Manager at the hotel with my concerns only to receive an automated response that he will be away from the office from the 20th to the 24th of October on business, I sent him the email on the 23rd of December, I think he should have been back by then, so I sent him another one on the 25th of December but i got no response,I think that was his way of saying bad luck mate, live with it and stop complaining, the funny thing is when when i checked out I asked the lady at the front desk if the manager was here she hesitated and then said yes he was here would i like to speak to him, I said no that's ok, It was too late. Please Mr manager do not reply to this review with I am sorry that you didn't enjoy your stay at my hotel, please email me and we can sort it out, please don't patronize me by doing that. Now Patong is a place that is driven by tourists, hotels, restaurants , bars all make their money from tourists , they don't rely on repeat business so they don't care about you coming back because if you don't someone else will, but no matter what the case is you are in a customer based industry, and competition is huge in Patong, it is your aim to please your customers no matter what, but maybe that's is just me. My biggest annoyance is bad customer service and when i get it i let you and everybody know, and when i get good service then i also let you and everybody know. To sum up this hotel, if you are there to go out all day from morning till late evening and have no interest in spending any time in your room except to sleep( on a hard bed ) and shower, then this is a great place to do so,it is a clean modern hotel, but if you are there to relax and enjoy a comfortable stay, then there are a lot of hotels in the area that you will be happier at and at a cheaper rate.

Dear mohamed112222, Thank you for your review, please check your email there should be two sitting there from me, the auto response that you received was a glitch with our email server thus the return date being in October, alternatively if you have an issue may I suggest that you either call down or ask at reception for me as I am always at the property and am more than willing to solve my guests issues on the spot face to face rather than electronically Alternatively you can email me on jay.penno@bestwesternpatongbeach.com Jay Penno General Manager

Nice, quiet and comfortable hotel located just outside the busy and loud downtown (right next the biggest shopping mall, 3 minutes walk from Bangla Road, 5 minutes from the beach). Big enough rooms with tiny balcony, free wifi, flat screen, free safe. Small panoramic swimming pool on the roof with bar.

Travelled with a group of 14 and the hotel was very accommodating to allow us to change rooms to connecting rooms and was very patient as the check in process took some time. Was dining at the restaurant opposite the hotel and a family member tried to borrow as many umbrellas as she could from the staff as we did not have any on us and there were many elderly with us but the staff was very suspicious - they thought we were going to take the umbrellas to sell i suppose? Ordered lunch by the pool and the service was good and the food is nice, the portion size was a little smaller than expected but still somewhat filling nonetheless. The hotel is a short walk from Patong Beach but a long drive from Phuket International Airport. Elderly got carsick after a while. The spa next to the hotel is very good - a must try. Had a great experience there.

The staff is very helpful and responsive to the guests' needs and they go out of their way to be helpful. The restaurant is well staffed and serves very good food, and the rooms are clean and comfortable. The wifi is fast and free. I'd be happy to stay here again.

This hotel is located to the parallel road of Patong beach or the Bangalow road. Nice stay. Good room service and staff service with a nice local cuisine dishes served at the restaurant. Room was neat with enough space around and not cramped. But not great view from the hotel balcony. It has a rooftop pool.

"Nice but could be better!"

Whinypooh, Singapore, Singapore 13/12/2015

We stayed in this hotel for 8 nights and here's what I feel. The good: Service – Some of the staffs displayed exceptional service. Would like to give a special shout out to Pakru (the porter), Pasika (from the restaurant during breakfast) and Ice (from the front office). Pakru is one of the nicest service staff I have ever met. He was sincere when he was interacting with the guests. He will make an effort to greet and acknowledge us everytime we get back to the hotel. My son looked forward to seeing him at the end of the day. We were actually very sad on our last night as we know that it will be in another year's time before we can meet this wonderful man again. Pasika was also another staff who left a deep impression. She has a smile on her face, even when she's helping to clear the tables. And she's very pretty! They will be the reason to return to this hotel when we visit Phuket again. Location – Very convenient because it is surrounded by restaurants, mini-marts and is within 3mins walk from Jungceylon. Yet, it is away from the main crowd and is not as crazy/ complicated as compared to the stretch that is nearer to Patong beach. Facilities – The swimming pool was not as big as I pictured but it was nice enough for us. It has a pool bar and there will be 1-for-1 offer during happy hours. You can also get pool towels from the bar. There was also a small gym next to the pool. Both were clean and we would spend like 2-3 hours a day, just soaking/ lazing by the pool. The average and the could-be-better: Room – The room was smaller than expected, but it could be because we added an extra single bed. The toilet and the shower area were of reasonable size. The water pressure was really strong and we appreciate that! The rain shower was really nice. Clean bath and face towels were given daily. Shampoo and shower gel were also provided. But we would love to have more toiletries such as cotton bud etc. There will also be 2 - 3 bottles of water (depending on the number of pax staying) provided for free daily. The room for more improvement would be that the hotel is catered more for tour groups. Our room was right in the middle of the hallway, and we encountered 2 tour groups throughout our stay. The hotel should improve on the soundproofing of rooms. I was kept awake for a few nights/ woken up at 6am due to the group talking/shouting along the corridor. Alternatively, the hotel could place non tour group guests on separate floors and I believe that could solve the problem as well. I placed the do not disturb sign outside my door but someone tried to open my room door at 6am. Luckily the door was latched. And if you prefer a more peaceful atmosphere during breakfast, do go after 9am. Breakfast – They could do with more changes as they would have almost the same food everyday. Scambled eggs, chicken sausage, ham, fried rice etc. I would go back to this hotel again. Will just request to be away from the tour groups and all will be fine. And of course, making sure that Pakru is still working there!

The hotel is strategically located in Patong Beach.. It's near the beach, the night strip, night food market, shopping mall and other establishments. The rooms very nice and the beds are very comfortable. Breakfast is good, although on our second day, they ran out of other dishes even though it is still far from 11 o'clock am. I think it was miscalculation of the amount of food to be served. Anyways, me and my friends enjoyed the food! We also enjoyed the roof deck pool and the wifi connection is strong. In general, we had a very pleasant stay here in Best Western Patong.

DrJools1, London, United Kingdom 06/12/2015

The pictures of this budget hotel look great. Unfortunately reality is very different. 'Superior with City View' = Twin beds pushed together, made up of 2 sheets with a break in the middle, the room reeking of stale cigarettes & the 'city' view being the building site next door which was very noisy early & throughout the day. We had a delightful surprise when a member of staff let themselves briskly into our room unannounced & without knocking first. Nice touch to ensure we always bolted the door after that. Staff were generally unwelcoming & inattentive. However I have nothing but praise for the pool staff & hotel guards, I always found them courteous & happy. Free wifi, but very poor reception in most areas & necessary to frequently re-log in. Make sure you don't receive a room anywhere near the lifts, this hotel has the loudest lift alerts known to man. Would I return? No.

This hotel had pros and cons for me Pros *it's brand new and looks perfect the rooms are very new clean and it's reasonable * the restaurant, breakfast was really good really enjoyed the pancake machine. *location it's perfect right near shopping centre main strip and short walk to beach. Cons* the rooms are paper thin I could hear people just talking next door and lots of door slamming, also I was very disappointed that the room next door at 2am bought back to "ladies" with them, which worries me about the hotel security, this caused me to have the worse night sleep. In the morning reception did move me but there English is slow and im not totally sure they knew what I was complaining about u asked to speak to a manager as was worried to stay here alone longer but they moved me anyway it was better. * with the paper thin rooms be prepared to be woke up by the lift noise and cleaners early *Also the hotel has a lovely restaurant bar at the front it was dead, I think I saw one table full. Maybe u should offer to hotel guests at discount to get busy would have been nice if was in use, maybe made the hotel more welcoming Also crossing the road is an accident waiting to happen and u have to go get to everything if was my hotel I would have someone helping The laundry was ridiculous prices so didn't use, wen u have someone charging 50 Baht 1kg across the the road

Dear Mickki85, Thank you for your review and I am so sorry that I was not informed of your issue with the "Ladies" earlier, communication can sometimes be an issue in Thailand and unfortunately in this case I was not informed. I am quite visible in the hotel and I think we have just missed each other on this occasion. I would really like to opportunity to go over your issue in more detail so if you could email me on the below so we can have a chat jay.penno@bestwesternpatongbeach.com I ma glad that you found the hotel good overall and it is a shame that one little issue that could have been resolved easily by myself was not brought to my attention, I will have another training session with my front office team and emphasize the importance of effective communication and hopefully we will not have this happen again.

We originally booked one night with best western patong beach, after the one night we decided to stay for a week. This was one of 15 hotel/ resorts we stayed at while in Thailand and I must say the nicest. All staff were very friendly and the General manager Mr Jay Penno made our stay that much better, asking several times how our stay is and if there was anything he could do to make it better. Overall very pleased with everything, only downside was pool area was a little crowded but very nice view from rooftop pool and beach is just down the alley. Would definetly recommend anyone and everyone to stay here. Beautiful hotel with great prices.
