Gu Hotel Patong  

In lively Patong on Phuket’s west coast — a budget-friendly, three-star pick just a 3-minute walk from Bangla Road and about eight minutes on foot to Patong Beach. Jungceylon Shopping Center is 0.3 miles away, and Karon Beach sits roughly 3.2 miles out. Moderately priced and centrally located for nightlife and beach days.

Simple, modern rooms across 58 air-conditioned units. Rooms include minibars, LCD TVs, safes and desks, plus private bathrooms with complimentary toiletries and hair dryers. The entire hotel is non-smoking and staffed 24 hours to keep things easy.

Take a dip in the pool, sweat it out in the fitness center, then unwind in the on-site sauna. There’s a poolside bar and a lounge for after-hours drinks. Complimentary Wi‑Fi is available throughout, free self-parking is onsite, and a ticket-and-tour desk helps plan local adventures.

A business center, luggage storage and a 24-hour front desk make short work of business needs. Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected.

The Gig on-site specializes in Thai cuisine. Buffet breakfast is offered daily from 6:30 AM to 10:30 AM for a fee. Room service is available, with the poolside bar and lounge serving casual bites and cocktails.
