This sounds like an BS ad for the Baramee hotel. I'm staying here right now and they are charging a 500 Baht joiner fee. Also for a new hotel it's pretty run down. The Internet barely works the breakfast is crap the fridge in my room was broken. Definitly stay away from this hotel.

they do charge a joiner fee, but it is down to you to negotiate when you book. Print the email out and give it to them at reception when you book in. I am staying there for 30 days from next week. Got it for 24000 bhat. I managed to negotiate them to waive the 500 bhat per women per night joiner fee. They will do it if you are a frequent traveller. The internet worked fine in my room. As for the breakfast I have never ate there. I don't like the idea off sitting in the hotel lobby eating. There are many places to eat along the beach road.

Stayed at Baramee Hip Hotel over Christmas and new year, it was girl friendly with internet access in the room. Paid 1600 bhat per night. In 2 weeks had 20 women back there, no problem, girls had to leave there id down stairs. Room was cleaned every day. There were alot off women from russia staying in the hotel, but due to the amount off thai women they seen me come and go with, they didn't talk much with me. Rented a brand new motorbike from the hotel over the road (same owners) 250 bhat per day. Only had a few hundred killometers on the clock.

I am going back to patong for a month in febuary, they quoted me 24000 bhat for 30 nights, no joiner fee and internet access. May stay there then, not too sure. Might give the expat hotel a try, as it is prime location and saves me riding around on the motorbike pissed everynight.

Can anyone confirm the "Girl Friendliness" of Same Same Guest House?

The address is 78 Sainamyen Road, Patong, and looks to be fairly close to Bangla Rd.

I can confirm that the 'casa jib' guesthouse is 100% girl friendly, 3 minutes walk to bangla road, and nice big rooms with en suite. Only downfall no elevator. But only a few floors high. If thats any help.

Collegues,

Does anyone of you have experiences with the Star Orchid Guesthouse? Is it girlfriendly? Information of any kind is very welcome.

It's located in Soi Dr. Wattana, Patong. Prices seems very fair to me, but their website isn't showing a load of information.

Thanks in advance.

Any recomendations for cheap girl friendly hotels over xmas and new year in pattong beach phuket? with internet access.

[The Scout]

i recommend the grand orchid inn.

http://www.grandorchidinn.com/

guest friendly, no joiner fee, they take the girl's id. there's somebody at the front desk 24 hours. it's located 50 meters from patong beach and it's in between the burger king and mcdonald's on the beach road. the walk to bangla maybe takes 10 or 15 minutes, but i never timed it.

the staff is friendly, the rooms are very clean, and the internet speed is decent (www.speedtest.net says 2.6mb download, 0.84mb upload). they have a small safe, and laundry service is right next door for a reasonable price. the mattress is hard. the room is bright with a florescent light and 4 regular spotlight lights around it. the only negative thing is you have to go through the tourist area (beach road) to get to bangla road but it's not a big deal.

i have included pictures of the mini standard room.

I have a friend (couple) that were staying at The Holiday Inn. It doesn't appear to be guest friendly. A guy that checked into a Villa said he has no problems but he was with 1 girl only the entire time so I don't think that counts, but I did witness a guy bringing a girl back around 5am and security stopped him from entering. Not sure what happened after that.

Does anyone have any experiences with the Hilton in Karon? GF? I will be there next week for some business but also plan on having some local fun and bringing a girl or two back to my hotel over a few days.

Many thanks

Most of what I've read says it is not GF. But I was able to walk a non P4P girl into the hotel and to my room in June at 2 in the morning. Nobody paid any attention. But she was well dressed, not like a beer bar girl.

My advice would be make sure you book the room for 2. That should at least enable you to get the first one in if you are challenged.

Guys,

I'm due to stay at Thara Patong for a few days and wondered if anyone knows if they are GF or require a joiner fee. I've emailed them twice but got no reply.

Thanks,

Johnthescot

I stayed at the thara last year, I never had a problem brining in guests!

There are many entrances to the hotel so it shouldn't be a issue, when I asked before I booked they told me 400b joiner.

I never had to pay it the 7 days I stayed.

Not a bad hotel, nice pool good breakfast.

Hi,

I want to stay close to the bars and clubs which is, I believe, Bangla Road. I am looking for a hotel up to 1000 Baht. I have looked on wotif for the last minute deals and seen some good bargains. Prices they quote for full rate seem a lot higher than the price on the hotel website, but their discount rates still seem good.

My ideas so far are:

Squareone (825 Baht)

Patong Premiere Resort (800 Baht until 31 Oct)

The other hotel I have seen is Lamai Inn 700 Baht.

Any reviews on any of the above? Probably a silly question, but are they all GF?

Thanks

From my limited experience thought I would add to this new area:

2008. Stayed Salathai Resort. Certainly gf with no problems at all. Rooms a bit dark and also a small trek to Bangla past some noisy street sellers on beach road. 10-15mins walk.

2009. Yorkshire. Also gf. Big centre for fellow travellers judging by number of Id cards at reception every day. Good size rooms (with odd concrete floors) big tv good brekkie and only 2 mins from Bangla

What I found was the big places Holiday Inn/Hilton etc are very unfriendly with girls and some small ones have joiner fees as way of making money. Also some won't confirm or deny in advance and of course no way at the Bangtao resorts.
