The Taksim Patong Beach Hotel

+ Overall a good value. Staff is very friendly and helpful. For future customers info, they do not take credit card for the security deposit so have cash on hand when you arrive. Also the hotel check-in and lobby is hidden at the back of what looks like a small mall/shops. It’s not obvious when you approach the hotel from the sidewalk.

+ Nice staff. Very old and dirty sketchy place

+ I haven't a bad word to say. In fact ive rebooked the Taksim for my next tripto Patong. The house keeping was spot on, the staff were very kind, helpful and friendly. I loved the location, close to bangla road and opposite the beach. So im summation, i would recommended the Taksim.

+ Avoid this hotel at all costs. First of all, this hotel is not an enclosed hotel, but an “open air” one. This means that all of the street noise and bass from the bars keep you up until about 4am. The rooms do little to soundproof anything. Secondly, during my 4 day stay, the power went out 3 separate times (sometimes for hours on end). While I wouldn’t normally blame the hotel for power outages, only the hotel complex was out of power while business around it stayed powered. Finally, the shower did not get hot and is only suitable for people 5’5. I am 6 foot and stood well above the shower head. P.S. You can also only pay the hotel deposit in cash.

+ Wow

+ The AC did not keep room cool, the refrigerator did not work, the bed was like sleeping on concrete, no hot water. When I asked to cancel after enduring first night, the girl at front desk assured me I would get refunded. I was later told by Hotels.com that the hotel refused to refund my money
