Expat Hotel, Patong Beach I just returned from a week in Phuket where I stayed at the Expat hotel. The hotels location is excellent if you want to be close to the night time excitment of Bangla road and all that entails. The hotel itself provides clean basic rooms at a good price. The staff on my visit were all excellent and were happy to please if asked. The only down side from my opinion is that the beds are a bit hard for my liking, but thats my opinion and I appreciate others may infact like that. I hired a motor bike from the hotel and a days hirs was 250 Baht and the booking itself was easy and done in about 5 minutes. The hotel has a sports bar which was a good place to have breakfast or a few drinks at night prior to hitting the town. If you prefer to get with the locals, there is a great little place to eat called No 6 which if you walk down the entrance road of the hotel to the T intersection, turn right and about 50 mts the No6 is over the road on your left. All up a good little hotewl, with clean rooms, great staff and a good location. I would stay here again without doubt.
I asked and booked for a double room with balcony and it was confirmed, but when the hotel contacted me they said that no double rooms with a balcony were available so I was changed to a room without balcony.

Expat Hotel, Patong Beach We have stayed at this hotel already earlier and found it good enaugh to come again. The room is simple and no luxury. Still everything is clean and well maintained. We loved the pool area where you can sit in the evening and of course the best location of this hotel. It is in the middle of everything you expect from Patong. We liked the small private spa area at the hotel with good prices. One very positive thing was that the hotel is developping all the time, very nice reconstructed coffe shop to have the breakfast. The only thing to be improved could be the rooms, need a bit renovation.
Very smooth and worked well.

Expat Hotel, Patong Beach not hongest,when we check out,they mooched our money, act shamelessly!
Expat Hotel, Patong Beach The hotel and pool were great. Only complaint is getting on-line. They advertize wifi - and it only intermittantly works. 3 of the 4 computers in the restaurant don t work. They were broken during my last visit 2 years ago! If you don t need to get online much - this is a good place to stay.
Sawadee is a great way to book - never a problem.

Expat Hotel, Patong Beach Booked two rooms, stayed 3 nights with a group of friends (3guys & 3girls) few days ago. Room size is OK for 3 person in each room, bed a little hard but clean enough, no amenities in bathroom but there s hot shower. A small pool but the water is milky. Quiet location with a min walk to the nightlife, shopping and restaurants, 5mins to the beach.Hotel reception and people around are friendly, but 2 weird incidents on the 1st day we checked in, the guys were being told to stay on the 2nd floor while my female friends were told to stay on the 3rd floor, I don t know why!! And 10mins after we settled down, we (the guys) were told to change to the room next door, the staff said they have given us tthe wrong room.. (I don t see any difference between this two rooms)..Other than this experience, It was a nice pleasant stay. Recconmend for those who just need a room to sleep in, value for money.
Everything is smooth
