Paradise Resortel

Hotel is in the centre of the gay area... Do not stay here unless you are and like to be hounded by the other guests and the receptionist's friends that hangout in the reception... Made to feel uncomfortable and inappropriately touched on many occasions... Got so bad I walked out and found another hotel. The rooms are smelly and painted a disgusting brown... Avoid!

I'm not sure what a resortel is - even spell check is unsure. A good, clean, basic base for enjoying the Patong beach area. Very friendly receptionist - as camp as Xmas and he got none of my jokes - top fella (I think)

I stayed for 7 days at the hotel. The first room I had smelt of cigarette smoke, had a windows that couldn't be locked, had a very lumpy bed but worst of all had no hot water due to a broken heating system. I complained about the shower and was given another room (after 2 nights) which was much better. The following review is based on the 2nd room Good stuff Strong air conditioning, balcony, firm bed, location, less noise than anticipated, fantastic reception staff , cheap price, fridge that was cold and large room. Bad stuff No lift (need to be energetic to climb stairs), very old furniture, open shower in bathroom where everything gets wet, internet sometimes does not work
