Howdy! Let me begin by saying that overall we enjoyed our stay at Holiday Inn Express Patong, Beach Central we were very pleased with the location.
Since we arrived at night, our first impression outside was dark and peaceful, their modern exterior comes with style and has a spacious lobby with two set-up computer for free internet. The location of the hotel is perfect within 3-5 minutes walk to the beach, 10-15 minutes walk to Jungceylon Mall and short walk to restaurants, spa massage center and amenities. It is only 10 minute walk to the main night life Soi Bangla road but the location of the hotel is quiet. The hotel is just accross the road with a short walk to 7-11 and Family mart convenience stores.
We loved the open air feel of the hotel and the main lobby.
There is two swimming pools eventhough it is small it is good enough for a refreshing swim after the island activities.
Fitness Centre with Gym / Workout Room
Room wise, it’s clean and good fit for us. We stayed at King Leisure Non Smoking (room 2306) with a balcony facing the swimming pool. Our room is a short walk from the elevator. The room has a safety box, TV set mounted on the wall, hair dryer. The wifi is fast but you need to login everytime you get back to the hotel. You can request for the cotton balls, razor with shaving cream, comb in the receptionist. Complimentary breakfast is good. If you stay for more than 3 days you will notice almost same menu not a lot of choices but after all it is an express hotel still the food is good to get youre day started. They served mainly soup/porridge, rice, sausage and egg. They have choices of cereals, fruits, breads and drinks. The swimming pool is average size but it is not crowded when were there.
All the staff are friendly and helpful. We asked them to print us our itineraries twice. You can rent umbrellas and towels without fee, you just need to logged the pieces.
Stayed June 2015, travelled as a couple.
