Greetings Everyone,

FYI, I have created a new thread for discussing hotels in Phuket.

Thanks,

Jackson

[Egy Monger]

Will be staying in this Patong-based boutique-style hotel a month (July 19-August 19), so I hope it is as good as the website shows. Got a really good offer from the owner through E-mail -- 23,000 Baht Deluxe Room including breakfast and airport transfer. Anyone been there?

Oh and he confirmed it's 100% guest-friendly.

As I am still looking for a higher-end hotel near Bangla which is Girl Friendly, here is a list posted in another forum, but dating back to April 2005.

However, through my extensive recent research, I can confirm that 90%+ of them are still GF, the other 10%, I didn't even bother to check (for other reasons).

So let me know if you know some GF hidden gem, may it be a boutique hotel or international chain.

Thanks.

PS: and thx to admin for creating this thread.

[Jay Hodge]

Wow, thanks for sharing!

As per reports on tripadvisor (despite being mistakenly listed as being in Kathu instead of Patong), this is a hidden gem 200m south of Bangla road and 500m from beach.

Surely worth an inquiry.

Could you PM the owner's contact info? I will make sure to mention your name ;)

http://www.baipho.com[/QUOTE]I tried to book at the Baipho two years ago after reading about it on here. Unfortunately it was fully booked for Christmas but the owners had bought the hotel next door and were renovating that in a similar style. They called it the Baithong

http://www.baithong.com/

I managed to snag the best room in the place and it was the nicest hotel room. I was quoted 3,000 Baht per night back then but it was Christmas and as I say the best room, in fact I have to say that it is one of the nicest hotel rooms I have ever stayed in.

I had a laptop computer and internet access at my disposal (in the room) and mounted on a carved wooden screen at the foot of the bed was a widescreen television.

There were tasteful leather chairs and another widescreen in the lounge part of the room. The only trouble was that sometimes the remote would turn on the wrong TV. The bathroom was plain but functional but there was a little step at the doorway that I tripped on a couple of times, so beware of when you have had a few sherbets.

It's location is pretty good for most places and is about a 3-5 minute walk to Bangla Road (depending on how hot it is and how fast you walk). The taxi driver from the airport had difficulty finding it but I guess that's because it was new. It's a good idea to tell the driver the street name as well as the hotel name though.

The only negative was that it was non-smoking but that was a small price to pay for a very luxurious and comfortable stay.

There is no reception at night so it can be a bit of a bugger to get in if you have had a beer or two.

Oh and most important for the folk on here it was 100% girl friendly.

[Jay Hodge]

The Phuket Reports and Phuket Hotels threads are getting MUCH less activity than other regions (BKK, Pattaya).

As I have booked 5 days in each city, I have started to question the idea of passing by Phuket.

What's the deal there? I hear it's more expensive than Pattaya but less than Bangkok. But is it the least interesting place from the 3 cities in terms of mongering? Or does ISG-Thailand's community simply tend to focus more on BKK and Pattaya for other reasons? (close community, living in BKK and/or Pattaya, etc...)

Same thing for Phuket Hotels. Admin has opened the thread recently (much appreciated), but other than my posts, it has had only 4 posts in 11 days, including one about another island.

PS: posted same message in Phuket Reporta and Phuket Hotels threads, as query applies to both.

[Muffhunter]

I just booked my flight yesterday for Phuket (been there 10 years ago) and looking at the posts I can find I have narrowed down choices to Summer Breeze, Yorkshire Inn, Baipho or Baithong. I need to at least have a small desk for computer in my room and another sitting chair.

Would appreciate any new info or comparisons if anyone has been to more than one of the above. I am kind of leaning toward the Baipho & Baithong, however I would miss out on the gatherings that the other two hotels may have to over from being bigger.

Thanks

[Muffhunter]

I am scheduled back to Patong the 1st week of november for 8 days. It's been 11 years since I was last there and would appreciate some info.

I have been looking at Yorkshire Inn, Summer Breeze, Baipho & Baithong. The later 2 seem smaller and a little low key. I would like the camaraderie of a larger hotel to meet people, however like my privacy also.

Does anyone have any experience in comparing these?

Thanks

[Biffduff]

I stayed at Summer Breeze for Monday, Tuesday and Friday night last week and absolutely loved it. The owner, Bill, is a stand up guy with a nice and dry sense of humour. Staff are all as friendly as can be, and are pretty easy on the eyes, for the most part.

My room was just over 1300B/night. Sleeping area + sitting area, with AC and two or three fans kicking around. Free Wi-Fi internet connection in the room and a computer downstairs to use if you don't have a laptop.

Only negative was the shower setup in the bathroom. Just couldn't get good water pressure or an appropriate water angle to get a satisfying shower.

Location gets top marks from me. I timed it at 6 minutes from my hotel room door to the door of Suzy Wong's A-Go-Go, walking at a healthy clip. Can't beat that.

Overall, great place to stay and I will do so again.

[Muffhunter]

Great info and thanks for your response. Just wondering what size room you had?

Thanks again.

http://www.baipho.com[/QUOTE]Hi,

I stayed now 2 times in the bahipo. I realy like the place very much. The owner is a swiss guy. Very frindla and he as a very grate stuff. Very friendly and open. And it is yes a very decrete place. An 100% GF!

We had a boat tour, (we did this now 2 times, and it is phantastic) the ownder of the boar recomendet the place. Perfect!

I had the luck to have 2 of the very nice rooms. I stayed ine time in the "old" part of the bahipo, and I like this rooms much more, because they have a very big bath and an open shower. So there is lot of room for fun in there! What I like.

The other room I had was in the "new" part and was the jaccoosy suite. Very nice room, bice bathtub, but a small bath itselve.

You fine everything in the room, perfect internet (free) with a good connection, and all the rest from softdrink to condoms.

I also like the location, it is not loud in the night, but still 5 miuntes from bangla road and 15 srom the beach.

So I think a very good place to stay.

Have a lot of fun and say "grüzi" to the owner.

[Ny Desiman]

You can not stay any closer to Bangla Rd but without the noise then staying at the Summer Breeze Hotel. I made a reservation thru their website and I didn't have to use credit card. When I arrived I just paid in cash. 990 baht/ night for a decent room, nothing fancy. Their website says 2000 baht in peak season. I won't stay at this place for 2000 baht.

It is a small hotel, sorrounded by other boutique type hotels. Yorkshire Hotel is just couple of building apart.

The Hotel does not have a lift.... So, I have to walk up 4 set of stairs when I go outside. Their wifi is OK and is free. No Breakfast but there are plenty of restaurants nearby.

It is Girl Friendly, but they will keep the girl's ID.

I arranged to have the Hotel pick me up from the Airport which they did and I paid 600 baht for the transfer.

[Yaiman]

My experience with a hotel that was not girl friend friendly was something else. Checked in with Thai girl friend. Hotel made photo copies of our ID's.

The sign at front desk said, "500BAHT JOINER FEE".

One time the entrance security guard chased us at four in the afternoon to see if my girlfriend was registered. She spoke Thai to him and he left us alone. Next time at four in the morning he ran up 3 flights of steps while we took the elevator. He ran down the hall after us! I shouted out that this is my wife and go away in Thai, and he left. We hurried to our room because my girlfriend needed the toilet fast. No time to chat with a security guard!

The hotel manager told me to leave my key at the front desk to prevent this happening again. They never informed us about leaving the key when we checked in. These hotels can add these fees to your bill if they want to. Hard to dispute joiner fees if you check in the hotel by yourself and alone. Joiner fees are big money makers for hotels. Clear profit when put in the pocket and not reported for taxes.

[Kimo29]

Guys,

Heading to Phuket next week just to let u know Salathai Resort confirmed they are GF no joiner fees at rate 1600 THB superior room and 2000 THB For deluxe roomsincluding breakfast and free pickup from airport GR8.

Since i want a king size bed and the only rooms available are the deluxe ones i have opted to go with the deluxe anywayz its only 9 US$ difference.

On of my colleagues just returned and i told him to stay at Salathai although not a 5 stars but he confirmed that the staff are very friendly resort near bangla and the beach just 5 mins and the rooms are very clean and it is very cosy resort.

Cheers Guys cant wait for Phuket

[Johnthescot]

Guys,

I'm due to stay at Thara Patong for a few days and wondered if anyone knows if they are GF or require a joiner fee. I've emailed them twice but got no reply.

Thanks
Johnthescot

[James Ford]

Hi guys,

Does anyone knows if Aspery Hotel is GF or not.

Is there any way to know which hotel is GF or not other than emailing the hotel.

Thanks

[James Ford]

Hi Guys,

I'm thinking about booking Aspery Hotel but I need to know if its GF or not.

And if not, what is the joiner fee?

Thanks

[Joe Eyal]

Hello all,

Doees anyone know about 4-5 starts hotel in Patong beach that don't charge extra if I bring a Thai lady from outside?

Prefered location is closed to Bangla raod

Thanks

[Mauldid]

Called Baipho/Baitong today, no vacancy. Walked in Safari Hotel about 50 meters from the beach Bangla Road entrance. Got quoted 1500B for deluxe room with BF and WiFi. 1300 B for just room and WiFi. Cheaper on Agoda but decided to go for it. Confirmed its Guest Friendly. If the noise is too much at night will move else. Probably on same road but further down by Star Bucks. Saw a nice hotel there, will check out price.

[FlyJets]

Gents, I have rtff and found no info on the Marriott in Patong. It is a new hotel and want to know if any info exists on the friendliness of the hotel. Thanks boys......Peace out...

[Stiffoak 571]

From my limited experience thought I would add to this new area:

2008. Stayed Salathai Resort. Certainly gf with no problems at all. Rooms a bit dark and also a small trek to Bangla past some noisy street sellers on beach road. 10-15mins walk.

2009. Yorkshire. Also gf. Big centre for fellow travellers judging by number of Id cards at reception every day. Good size rooms (with odd concrete floors) big tv good brekkie and only 2 mins from Bangla

What I found was the big places Holiday Inn/Hilton etc are very unfriendly with girls and some small ones have joiner fees as way of making money. Also some won't confirm or deny in advance and of course no way at the Bangtao resorts.

[Masked Avenge]

Hi,

I want to stay close to the bars and clubs which is, I believe, Bangla Road. I am looking for a hotel up to 1000 Baht. I have looked on wotif for the last minute deals and seen some good bargains. Prices they quote for full rate seem a lot higher than the price on the hotel website, but their discount rates still seem good.

My ideas so far are:

Squareone (825 Baht)

Patong Premiere Resort (800 Baht until 31 Oct)

The other hotel I have seen is Lamai Inn 700 Baht.

Any reviews on any of the above? Probably a silly question, but are they all GF?

Thanks

[Rockabilly77]

[QUOTE=Johnthescot]Guys,

Thanks,

Johnthescot[/QUOTE]I stayed at the thara last year, I never had a problem brining in guests!

There are many entrances to the hotel so it shouldn't be a issue, when I asked before I booked they told me 400b joiner.

I never had to pay it the 7 days I stayed.

Not a bad hotel, nice pool good breakfast.

[Brastrav]

Hi guys,

Did you ever heard or have any information about the Adamun Hotel in Patong? If so, were is it located? Any other information is also very welcome.

Thanks,

Mike

[Scorpian007]

Does anyone have any experiences with the Hilton in Karon? GF? I will be there next week for some business but also plan on having some local fun and bringing a girl or two back to my hotel over a few days.

Many thanks

[Jim Mac]

[QUOTE=Scorpian007]Does anyone have any experiences with the Hilton in Karon? GF? I will be there next week for some business but also plan on having some local fun and bringing a girl or two back to my hotel over a few days.

Many thanks[/QUOTE]Most of what I've read says it is not GF. But I was able to walk a non P4P girl into the hotel and to my room in June at 2 in the morning. Nobody paid any attention. But she was well dressed, not like a beer bar girl.

My advice would be make sure you book the room for 2. That should at least enable you to get the first one in if you are challenged.

[The Scout]

I have a friend (couple) that were staying at The Holiday Inn. It doesn't appear to be guest friendly. A guy that checked into a Villa said he has no problems but he was with 1 girl only the entire time so I don't think that counts, but I did witness a guy bringing a girl back around 5am and security stopped him from entering. Not sure what happened after that.

[The Scout]

I recommend the Grand Orchid Inn.

http://www.grandorchidinn.com/

Guest friendly, no joiner fee, they take the girl's ID. There's somebody at the front desk 24 hours. It's located 50 meters from Patong beach and it's in between the Burger King and McDonald's on the beach road. The walk to Bangla maybe takes 10 or 15 minutes, but I never timed it.

The staff is friendly, the rooms are very clean, and the internet speed is decent (www.Speedtest.net says 2.6mb download, 0.84mb upload). They have a small safe, and laundry service is right next door for a reasonable price. The mattress is hard. The room is bright with a florescent light and 4 regular spotlight lights around it. The only negative thing is you have to go through the tourist area (beach road) to get to Bangla Road but it's not a big deal.

I have included pictures of the mini standard room.

[JohnnyBraz]

Any recomendations for cheap girl friendly hotels over xmas and new year in pattong beach phuket? with internet access.

[Brastrav]

Collegues,

Does anyone of you have experiences with the Star Orchid Guesthouse? Is it girlfriendly? Information of any kind is very welcome.

It's located in Soi Dr. Wattana, Patong. Prices seems very fair to me, but their website isn't showing a load of information.

http://starorchid-guesthouse.com/

Thanks in advance.

[JohnnyBraz]

Stayed at Baramee Hip Hotel over Christmas and new year, it was girl friendly with internet access in the room. Paid 1600 bhat per night. In 2 weeks had 20 women back there, no problem, girls had to leave there id down stairs. Room was cleaned every day. There were alot off women from russia staying in the hotel, but due to the amount off thai women they seen me come and go with, they didn't talk much with me. Rented a brand new motorbike from the hotel over the road (same owners) 250 bhat per day. Only had a few hundred killometers on the clock.

I am going back to patong for a month in febuary, they quoted me 24000 bhat for 30 nights, no joiner fee and internet access. May stay there then, not too sure. Might give the expat hotel a try, as it is prime location and saves me riding around on the motorbike pissed everynight.

[Member #3060]

Can anyone confirm the "Girl Friendliness" of Same Same Guest House?

The address is 78 Sainamyen Road, Patong, and looks to be fairly close to Bangla Rd.

This sounds like an BS ad for the Baramee hotel. I'm staying here right now and they are charging a 500 Baht joiner fee. Also for a new hotel it's pretty run down. The Internet barely works the breakfast is crap the fridge in my room was broken. Definitly stay away from this hotel.

I am staying there for 30 days from next week. Got it for 24000 bhat. I managed to negotiate them to waive the 500 bhat per women per night joiner fee. They will do it if you are a frequent traveller. The internet worked fine in my room. As for the breakfast I have never ate there. I don't like the idea off sitting in the hotel lobby eating. There are many places to eat along the beach road.

[David D]

Hi bros,

I planning to go Phuket for holiday. As I never been there, can anyone tell me which hotels have their own quite beaches that not open to public?

Thank you.

[Timmy011]

Greetings,

Deevana hotel, great hotel, friendly staff, 15 min walk from beach, 500 baht joiner fee, superb food, great restoraunt by the pool, hotel have also bungalovs and new building with rooms and 2 pools. From 2200 be for room and up, but after 1. Visit you can get (if you ask for it) a member card and from 10-20 % off the price for future visit. You can write them on email for airport pickup. They send for 6 of us big mini bus for 1200 be one way.

Rooms are clean and look like on website.

Do not try to get room with a jacuzzi, because it is not in your room. It is out of room, close to the pool, only you can use it only in day and water is cold in it

Only negative side (for some) 15 walk to beach.

[David D]

My friend book Marina Phuket Resort.

Don't know good or not?

[Citiman]

Good day guys,

May I know anyone here stay before at Bipho or Saladee patong?

Really appreciate could get some review or comment.

Thank in advance.

[Member #3426]

Would like to know a seasoned mongers opinion on this hotel? Location, service & hotels Girl Friendly policy. I'm booking a double room so I'm thinking any hotel would not restrict me to invite a lady to the room.

[MikeyTheMan]

Has anyone stayed at Summer Breeeze lately?

How is location in relationship to Beach and Bangla?

[Easy Lover222]

The number one i Patong in terms of prices, atmosphere, people, service, location and food of course one of the best in thailand. Lots of rooms to choose from. Every time i felt like home.

Bill the owner and all his employees know how to create a nice atmosphere.

[Teamsatan]

[QUOTE=MikeyTheMan]Has anyone stayed at Summer Breeeze lately?

How is location in relationship to Beach and Bangla?[/QUOTE]I stayed at the summer breeze recently and have stayed there 3 times.

Although the summer breeze seems to have it's hardcore supporters, reality is that the hotel is a little shabby around the edges.

The staff are really no better or worse than many other hotels in soi sansabai.

The pool that the hotel was using has closed and the staff did not seem to make a reasonable suggestion as to a replacement.

Even though there is no pool now, the prices have not changed to indicate this.

I stay at the summer breeze or the yorkshire inn for their location. Only a couple of minutes stroll to Bangla and about 5 to 10 minutes to Patong Beach.

[Muffhunter]

[QUOTE=MikeyTheMan]Has anyone stayed at Summer Breeeze lately?

How is location in relationship to Beach and Bangla?[/QUOTE]Stayed there last fall and at the time with the lower rate it was ok. Staff was great and friendly. Room was always clean. Had a Summer Suite.

Was in Phuket again in February/March and did not stay. I thought the prices were way to high at that time. There are other places that will offer more for the money.

[Ej2208]

I never been to Phuket.I was checking if anyone stayed at the Andakira Hotel? If so, is there a joiner fee for guest? Is it located near the nightlife area?

Thanks in advance.

[Busan0901]

Ricos is towards the end of soi Bangla, the road is kinda oppersite the indoor Market. As you go from Rockhard to the beach it's the first road on the left. 800 a night, large good rooms, no joiner fee or hassels. The best thing I've found in Patong.
