Patong Beach Hotels

Patong Beach hotels come in many prices, sizes and locations so finding the hotel that will please both your budget and your need for the best place can be really tricky. Many readers ask for our suggestions but there is no such thing as ‘One Patong Hotel Fits All’.

Basically everyone wants for the same things ‘Please recommend a cheap hotel in Patong Beach + right on the beach + close to nightlife”. Some even add ‘Oh, and it must be a quiet and romantic hotel ’

Well, sorry to be the one to bring the bad news but that hotel doesn’t really exist. However some hotels can come quite close, but these won’t come cheap, unless you come during low season.

To help you picking the right hotel in Patong beach, remember that the price of hotel decreases with the distance from the beach and from the centre. Patong consists on 4 roads parallel to the beach. Each road further back to the hill gets cheaper accommodation…

Once again, we stayed or personally visited all the hotels listed here and we would recommend them to our own friends

Hotels close to the beach, but not as close to Bangla:

Amari Phuket

Amari Phuket is one of these rare resorts in Phuket having a very unique location on Patong Beach. Blessed with its own small sandy cove and a unique view on the entire bay, all the rooms at Amari Phuket are facing the sea!This four star resort is located at the southern end on Patong, just past the large bridge… It is quite a large hotel and despite a slightly dated architecture, the renovated design, two large pools and one of the most romantic restaurants in Patong, makes Amari Coral Beach a long time winner.

Holiday Inn

Holiday Inn Phuket is a success story since a very long time, and their team makes sure it stays this way. Many might not associate the brand ‘Holiday Inn’ with ‘Luxury Island Resort‘, so you might be in for a surprise. The location is great if you want to get the best of both faces of Patong: the beach and the city with its shopping and famous nightlife. And yet once in the resort, it is surprisingly quiet. But it takes more than a good location to get it right: many resorts along the beach road don’t get that popular. So let me just list what’s good and what’s not. Read more…

Novotel Phuket Resort

Novotel Phuket Resort at the northern end of Patong Beach offers sea views not many hotels in Patong can afford.

The swimming pool area is very popular with a lot of greenery but what made the success of the Burasari is the staff kindness and efficiency. Read more…

Then there are tons of other hotels worth checking, but we didn’t personally stay in these hotels but we inspected them and reviews are very positive.

Sleep with Me

Sleep with me is a well priced hotel in a good strategic location if you want to be close to the nightlife, the shopping, not too far from the beach AND you don’t want to pay a fortune for it. Simple but with a young modern design Sleep With Me is a name that you won’t forget. We always wonder how much it contributed to the success of the hotel. One of the nice feature is the rooftop bar and swimming pool. They are not large but it’s a nice place to hang at the end of the day. Read more…
