This restaurant is simple and sweet - looks like old style restaurant, clean place and tasty food. This place is a bit away from the busy Bangla Road, and was nice and quiet to enjoy the food. I liked it so much that I came here 2 nights in a row.

The center of Patong nightlife is in Bangla Road

I came to Phuket without booking, since this is my first time there it was hard for me to imagine the place, I dont want to book first without knowing the location. My criteria : beachfront, clean and comfy, nice bathroom and within budget of 1000 bhat, Patong Inn fits all that (and I got a discount, it cost me only 800 bhat per night)! The rooms are by an open-air corridor so its nice and breezy.
I was really pleased with the hotel, and it was great that I can go to the beach by just crossing the road. The hotel has a restaurant and computers for internet at the reception. The staff were very friendly too and made my stay really enjoyable. They can even help with tour bookings or there is also a tour agent at the front of the hotel.
