I stayed in this hotel from December 3rd to 15th. A small cozy hotel is conveniently located away from the wild fun at the very beginning of Patong Beach on the second line. They settled me on the second floor overlooking the pool, so I was even pleased with the view! For those who were settled higher, a view opened up with a more distant perspective and not always picturesque, but this is not the main thing for Thailand (are you going to sit in the room or enjoy the delights of this exotic country? ). The Russian girl Irina works at the reception - very nice and helpful! It is very convenient to solve all problems through it if you are not strong in English or Thai! Breakfasts, which I often overslept, are monotonous, but you won’t leave hungry, so a solid four! If I overslept, I went to the Onion Spring cafe to the left of the hotel for about three minutes walk across the bridge past the Honda salon on the same side to the intersection right on the corner. Prices: soups from 50 baht, fried rice with chicken, beef or pork of your choice - 60 baht, my favorite tom yam kung - 80 baht. Right along the way there is a massage parlor with the lowest prices: Thai massage, foot massage - 200 baht! But I liked the massage parlor across the road just opposite this one better. Everything is a little more expensive there, but the atmosphere is decent, they give out pajamas and the masters are very good (this is my third time in Thailand and I can compare with previous experience) - foot massage 300 baht, Thai massage 250 baht - it's cheaper than in the center of Patong!
Everyone writes: that the beach is a 7-minute walk! Yes, it is, but Patong is a very crowded and relatively dirty beach! Guys, get together in a company and to the right of the hotel near the 7-Eleven minimarket taxi drivers are constantly on duty - a car costs 300 baht to the wonderful Karon beach and 350 to Kata, there are seven-seater SUVs - the price is the same for a car (is this the price for such a pleasure? )! If there is no company - motobike taxi - 150 baht.
One of the amenities of the hotel's location is that everything is within easy reach, that is, walking distance! Almost back to back on the right is a 7-Eleven minimarket, the alcohol stocks of which were constantly emptied by hotel guests. The local rum Sang Som (or in the common people Samsung) with cola was especially good! A fifteen minute walk towards the center is the huge Jungceylon shopping center - a paradise for shopaholics! It also has beauty salons for those who like to pamper themselves - an hourly procedure with peeling and numerous masks and scrubs (Japanese cosmetics are used) costs 349 baht, but there are also more advanced complexes! And on the ground floor there is a Big C supermarket, which has a large selection of local juices, fruits (whole, peeled and wrapped in film) and, of course, seafood, which will be fried and packed in front of you - it comes out cheaper than in cafes and fruit stalls! There you can buy wonderful sauces for fish and seafood.

Right at Jungceylon, Bangla Road rests - the local party zone - comes to life in the evening and the whole party goes on until 4 in the morning: discos, striptease bars, pinpong shows, ladyboy street and more, here you can meet local geishas in any of the many bars!
Well, in general, and everything in a nutshell! I wish you a pleasant stay! ; )
P. S. : Do not be stingy - bring Russian chocolate and other sweets from Russia to Irina if you are going to this hotel! The person misses them very much and will be very grateful to you! Well hello from me!
