Excellent with a minor problem
I have stayed at Patong Hemingways for many years now, and I have always found everything about this Hotel to be superb. But on this occasion my room was downgraded but without any discount. Not a huge concern, just a little disappointing, especially when the Hotel was not booked out. I would not hesitate to stay there again, but would hope for a better outcome on getting what you pay for.

The hotel is ideal for the nightlife which is only two minutes walk and for jungceylon centre only a minute more also the location is very quiet for noise.The staff are great and do the most to make the stay A1. Quality towels and bedding changed every day and for the cost i would highly recommend this hotel....

room for improvement
A number of things left a lot to be desired. Maintenance poor, 4 issues reported, only two attended too. Had lunch at the pool, food was simply unrecognisable as chicken cashew nuts. The bar at the pool ran out of tequila. The room has cockroaches and the balcony was too small to sit out. Wi-fi worse than poor the only area with reasonable strength was the pool. Room kept dropping out.

Nightmare at the hotel Patong Hemingway's
The stay here was like something out of a horror novel. Vermin and cockroaches everywhere, smell of raw sewerage throughout the room which they try to conceal with car freshener. I wanted to cancel my 9 nights and move hotels but staff just said up to you. No refund. Didn't get any sleep the entire time. Ended up switching mid way through to save some of my holiday. Stayed at a hostel. Was 100x better. Stay away. Like many reviews before, you have been warned. You have not seen a bad hotel until you visit this one. Unbelievable.

Good- Location, Hotel staff, Food Bad- First we were given a room which had 3 noisy air conditioners running outside window. Couldn't sleep first night with this noise. After notifying hotel staff, they managed to transfer us to a different room. Very poor internet access. Found couple of cockroaches in room. Recommend this hotel due to location.

Happiness at Hemingways. The perfect location
Expedia advertised it as a Suite, but this was not True. So be careful, some of Ecpedia's information is either incorrect, misleading or hidden But for Patong Hemingways. It's Fantsstic. I have stayed at this Hotel on a few occasions now, and it has always lived up to my expectations. Wonderful staff. Comfortable Rooms

Patong Beach Gem
Nice little place located right in the heart of Patong Beach nightlife but not on the main street so no noise issues. Two negatives were the lack of a blow dryer which I didn't pack because the hotel is listed as having one. Also due to health issues, I booked this hotel because of the picture of the hot tub. The hot tub did not work so this was very disappointing! We had just been to a restaurant that had an amazing breakfast so this breakfast was very basic.

Good location to lively street but very quiet
Stayed in Patong far longer that I really wanted to due to a brilliant wedding on the Island. Hemmingways was a great place to stay though for those 6 nights as a solo traveller. Close to the lively night-life but very quiet at night and also by day at the pool. Staff were helpful and friendly. The rooms were cleaned very well daily. I did see a couple of tiny little cockroaches but no big deal for the value of the hotel and the overall cleanliness. I just think it is one of those things. Would stay again but i doubt i will ever go back to Patong.

Good location and great staff made up for problems
I was visiting a friend who is currently working in Phuket and stayed at the hotel for 4 days. The hotel is in an excellent location; a short walk from the beach and near to all nightlife, restaurants, shopping etc.The rooms are small but very clean and modern with tea / coffee facilities and free bottled water daily. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the rooms, however there is a balcony with no room to sit and no chair to sit on anyway! Some rooms have the same style of balcony but with the hotel adjacent being about 2 meters away, so your view is basically of a brick wall. It isn't so bad if, like me, you only used the room for sleeping in. On my last full day I came back to my room after a day at the beach to find the floor of my room completely wrecked! I was told there was some problem due to "pressure" and I'd have to move rooms. I did move rooms, an inconvenience as it was my last full day, and found the safe in my new room had to be reset and then the door to the room would not lock. This meant that, for part of my last evening I had to remain in my room until these issues were sorted out. The staff were exceptional; friendly, helpful and sorted out any issues as quickly as they could. There are obvious issues with the quality of the hotel itself and due to this I probably wouldn't stay there again. This is a great shame as it is a decent hotel with excellent staff and a rooftop pool which gets the sun all day. Oh, and the food served is also good!

Patong Hemmingway
Overall good value hotel for a budget price, definitely get your moneys worth; the onsite restaurant is good at least for Thai food (that's all I tried there) There is construction going on across the street so if your a very light sleeper this may not be the place for you, it didn't bother me during my 5 days there.

A number of problems
Central location and nice rooftop pool. Hotel condition and service generally ok as you'd expect in Patong, but with a range of problems. No view but you wouldn't expect it in that location. However you can see and hear the major construction site directly opposite (a large hotel in its early stages). Rooms on the side get no sunlight. Killed over 10 mosquitoes in the room on the first night, though there were less on following nights. Large bed is two single beds joined together but the way it's done is not too bad. The wet floor bathroom is a problem - shower water didn't drain quickly enough and would cover up to half of the bathroom. The hotel requires 1000 baht deposit at check-in but wouldn't take a credit card authorisation like a normal hotel - cash only, which was annoying. One night the reception desk was unattended for over 20 minutes, which meant room keys, guest information and cash were potentially not secure. I probably wouldn't go back to this hotel due to these problems.

Great hotel,great staff - avoid hotel restaurant.
Superb staff throughout the hotel. Friendly, attentive and nothing was too much trouble. Smooth check in check out service. Special mention for roof pool staff especially Joanne. On the negative side, the hotel restaurant is not an experience you want to try, placed on order only to be told 20 minutes later they didn't have the food. Starters took 45 minutes and were wrong. Main course eventually arrived the order was also wrong and food was cold. The hotel manager did apologise the next day and gave complimentary drinks, however the restaurant experience was the worst i have ever experienced in all my years travelling. One other note, it should have been mentioned at time of booking that there was a construction site literally 20 yards from hotel so we were awoken most mornings.I would not let this stop anyone staying here as it is a superb hotel for a reasonable price.

Great location, centre of Patong Beach
The hotel is somewhat hidden but is well located in the centre of Patong, close to shopping, many restaurants and Bangla Road. The staff is friendly and tries to make your stay a good one. Its a small hotel, but its still has a outside pool (rooftop). The only real current issue would be that the hotel is facing a construction site so the noise can be bothersome.

Nice hotel for Budget stay
Good enough for a budget stay..Hotel is located within 8 minutes walk to Bangla Walking Street and 10 minutes walk to Patong Beach. it is also close to shopping mall. Easy access to shopping, massage, pubs and restaurants without hearing the night life noise! But hotel staff can improve their service..(Attending the guests enquirers propmtly/Smile on the face..etc)..
