Description
Located on one of the sois off the beach road, parallel to Bangla Rd, the entrance to the Connect is guarded by a Greek satyr-like statue and above a bar that wouldn't look out of place in San Francisco's Castro district. This guesthouse courts and attracts a largely gay clientele but, whatever your leanings, you're sure to be charmed by the one of a kind rooms and charming staff. All of the rooms, even the budget fan-onlys, have full amenities like satellite TV, a mini fridge, complimentary coffee and tea, and Internet. No two rooms are alike in either their lay-out or decor, so you'll probably want to peek at a few before settling in. Further, once a month they rearrange everything, so repeat customers never have the same visit twice.

More options in Patong Beach
Blue Ocean Resort
210/23 Soi Kepsap, Patong Beach
One in a cluster of very similar hotels on Soi Kepsap, the Blue Ocean has big, clean and reasonably maintained rooms stacked in two storeys around a rather unexciting L-shaped pool. The room amenities are exactly what guests require -- TV, mini-fridge, air-con, and a hot shower -- and nothing more.... more
Boomerang Inn
5/3-4 Hat Patong Rd, Patong Beach
In a quiet setting off the main road, the Boomerang Inn has simple air-con rooms and a small pool. The standards and facilities are high for a guesthouse, but their room rates during the peak season are way out of their league. The air-con rooms come with one, two, or three double beds -- but an... more
Andatel Hotel
41/9 Rat-u-thit 200 Pi Rd, Patong Beach
As a flashpacking choice, this cute three-storey hotel is a very good value. Even though it's just off the main road, the Andatel is quiet and private. The rooms are spacious and clean with cool concrete floors, air-con, cable TV, bar fridge and small verandas overlooking the pool. Ask for a room... more
The Minotel
19 Sawatdirak Rd, Patong Beach
A long-running budget spot, the small Minotel is trying to make itself over as a boutique guesthouse. We assume an exterior revamp was on the way when we passed through, but in the meantime the renovated rooms are a good start. They've got a fresh coat of paint, new linens with some colourful... more
C&N Hotel
151 Rat-u-thit 200 Pi Rd, Patong Beach
The recent renovations at the C&N Hotel have done a lot for its first impressions -- a prim new exterior, a bright new lobby, a big restaurant with free WiFi -- but haven't given this dull mid-sized hotel any more charm. The rooms too have been fixed up and come with one double or two twin beds,... more
Siam Palm
5/13-15 Hat Patong Rd, Aroonson Square, Patong Beach
It's nothing fancy, but the Siam Palm is a cosy little spot with genuinely friendly staff -- something you don't encounter too often in Patong. At first the rooms seem a little dated, but on closer inspection, they are really sort of quaint and homey -- like staying in the spare room at a... more
Koh Kaew Mansion
207/50 Rat-u-thit Rd, Patong
It doesn't get any cheaper than this, folks. Sure, the rooms aren't perfect -- the sink leaked, the bed was springy, and even our grandma would say the curtains are out-dated, but you can't expect much for this price in Phuket, after all. The rooms were a bit gloomy, but sufficiently comfortable... more
Casa Jip
207/10 Rat-u-thit Road, Patong
In the cluster of cheapies across from the Christin Massage complex, Casa Jip stands out by not feeling sleazy what-so-ever. In fact, this was one of our favourite spots in Phuket and not just because of their super-reasonable prices. Even starting with the shopfront reception with its single... more
