The family returned from Phuket recently, so the impressions are fresh.
The first impression of the hotel is a slight dilapidation and fatigue. A concrete spiral staircase with some suspicious stains leads to the room (third floor) (I noticed that Thais do not do wet cleaning, apparently for religious reasons : ).
The mountain view is neutral, slightly rotten in the evenings.
The furniture in the room is also very used, the cabinets creak and wobble, the shower is leaking and ANTS! small and pervasive EVERYWHERE! on the bed in closets, in suitcases, in a standard plastic jar of vitamins... The gecko that scared my wife is not coping in the closet.
You wake up in ants... In general, there is a problem with insects, at night ominous sounds of unknown origin are heard in the room.
Breakfast is good but monotonous. It is not very budgetary to go to a hotel restaurant on your own. Not plentiful and not very tasty lunch (rather a snack) without alcohol for four cost 2500 baht.

Taxi drivers are strained by the inaccessibility of transport with their teeth to hold on to the price of 100 baht per kilometer, hotel transport travels only to Patong with a preliminary appointment two days in advance, twice a day, and time is limited, the driver does not wait for anyone, he leaves at the time of his mobile phone.
I liked the gym and the pool (in the evenings, chlorination is a bit too much).
The beach is relatively close (400-500 meters), the passage under the road is scary and cramped, the beach is common, full of sunbeds for 50 baht. The water, depending on the time of day, was either cloudy or relatively transparent at first, jellyfish stung (somewhere before the end of January). Annoying bunch of foreign pensioners who are constantly making a promenade back and forth along the beach. On the other hand, there are not many other entertainments.
In general, the hotel does not justify the declared 4 stars (except for prices), it is suitable for beach lovers and insect lovers.
