My partner and I (New Zealanders) stayed at APK for 7 nights whilst in Patong. We intially booked for 3 nights just in case we wernt happy, but once there we were very impressed with the hotel, buffet breakfast, location and staff that we extended our stay. The room was just a standard room (nothing 5 star) but it was great, clean, big enough for the 2 of us and was air conditioned. The bathroom was fine, shower over bath but all in all, it was clean and everything worked properly. The buffet breakfast was great, as was the spa and massage up on level 8. The roof top pool is great, and is a good way to see all over patong. The staff are very friendly and whenever we needed assistance were happy to help. The location is perfect, its just behind the big shopping centre, is approximately a 10 minute walk to the beach but its away from the noise of the night life which is perfect. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone that wants comfortable/affortable accomodation in patong. We recommend hiring a scooter (very cheap) and using this to get around as taxi's and tuk tuks get expensive, restaurants can get pricey with the service tax they whack on to your bill so we ate most of our meals at the food centre in the shopping mall, it was great, the food is delish, cheap and the chefs are lovely thai people! Highly recommend!
