Have been at the hotel since October 31 for 13 days. The hotel is just wonderful. If there are such triples, then I don’t know what to expect from 4 * and even more so 5 *. Very cozy. We got a room overlooking the courtyard with a pool and, believe me, this is such a gift for the soul (there are, as I understand it, also overlooking the road and the sea, and the street with cafes and massage parlors). You arrive late in the evening. you go out onto the balcony with two chairs and a miniature table, sit down. Such peace all around. Mountain View. You can only hear the quiet distant voices of neighbors.
As for the room itself, I liked the laminate flooring the most. The legs are warm, good, and especially after the bath. There is a kettle, mugs, spoons, a wooden tray, even a tea set (lipton bags, bags of instant coffee and dry cream), but they didn’t find a knife (cut fruit, bought a knife at 7eleven for 15 B).
There is a medium sized TV across from the bed, built into a flat cabinet to put anything on. There is also a small prospectus with available programs. We counted 3 Russian channels, maybe someone found more. There is a secure safe. Small refrigerator (very small), Small wardrobe. There is a large mirror in the hallway. The air conditioning works properly, we even had to turn it down by 1-2 bars.

The bathroom is also very comfortable. Shower cabin, sink, toilet. Handles for towels. In the shower set: soap, cap on the sink, conditioner / shampoo / shower gel (in the shower itself). There were no problems with hot water.
In general, the room is small, but very healthy, when they saw, they were happy as children.
They cleaned the room and changed the towel every day, although we did not leave a tip. It was very nice to see a clean room upon returning to it. There was always free cold water (1 per person). I also used the same shower cap all the time, despite the fact that he reports them. They apparently got tired of it, and they threw it away, they had to open a new package)))) It was funny.
About food. Read the reviews before leaving. People's opinions are divided. I explain why. There is a lot of food, however, more than enough for breakfast. But every day the same assortment. I list.
Main dishes: Soup Tom Yan, Rice with vegetables, Noodles, Fried eggs, Omelet, Potatoes, Beans, Ham, Sausages, Tomatoes, Corn flakes/balls with milk, yogurt. There are several sauces to choose from for the main dishes. For dessert: croissants, baked bread, jam (strawberry, pineapple and citrus like (the last one was never taken), fruits (dragon's eye, papaya, watermelon,... ), muffins, pancakes. From drinks: water, orange, pineapple juice, coffee, tea. If that's not enough for you, I don't know.... Is it better somewhere? In addition, potatoes and noodles are cooked differently each time, for example, baked potatoes / potato casserole.
All photos are attached.
Food is constantly delivered. The staff is trying very hard.
Another advantage, the dining room is already open at 5.30. This is convenient when tours start at 6-7 o'clock.
I liked the bass too. Small for children, in my opinion, and the second large. There are enough loungers. Near the bar where you can take a delicious cocktail.
There is free Wi-Fi in the lobby. We were always very surprised when the guests spent days at the computer there. Also worth 4 free computers. Internet is paid, but more expensive than in other places (I’ll say right away that there is an Internet cafe 1 B for 1 minute very close (with a condition of at least 20 minutes)).

I will also say about Kata beach. A free small car runs from the hotel directly to the beach. But! We have never used it. Believe me, it’s more pleasant to just walk, at least for 10-15 minutes. The stinking river, about which they write, was also seen. Not as scary as it is drawn, or we ended up at a time when there was almost no water in it. Therefore, there was no strong smell. By the way, there are crabs crawling along the sand with a large claw. At first, with my vision, I thought that these were big cockroaches : D. If there are crabs there, it means not everything is so bad. So, you have two options either to go through the river, or bypass it. But I don't think it makes much sense. The beach is clean and beautiful. We took a motorbike and traveled all over the island. In terms of beauty, I can only compare with it, perhaps, only small beaches outside the resort areas (Nai Harn beach (in the Rawai area) and another one near Camala beach towards the airport). In other cases - Kata Noi (small), it is about the same as the big Kata, only it differs in size. It's a long walk to get to it (but it's worth a look anyway). Karon is also a beautiful beach, but believe me, the difference is small, Kata is calmer in terms of the number of people. North of Patong. We weren’t there during the day, I can’t say by the purity of the water, but it’s definitely noisy there. I can advise you to visit Camala Beach. It's even further than Patong. The water is bright blue and beautiful. There are practically no people at all.
There is a good Mali restaurant next to the hotel. The food is delicious. But also get ready for the fact that you will pay a little more than in ordinary cafes. 700-800 B for two versus 300-400. Nearby, if you go to the right from the hotel, you will come across Matryoshka Tour (tickets are 1.5 times cheaper than those of the operators, and believe me, the pleasures are no less, or even more. But you can write and write about it. If you are interested, ask)
If you need advice on the cost of food, drinks. fruit, travel, etc. then email. I will be glad to answer.
Do not worry that you will be far from Patong - the center of parties, you can get there by taxi. The taxi driver was willing to take us for 200 baht. The main thing is to bargain, but not very persistently
