Patong Central Residence & Apartment

Patong Central Residence & Apartment Overview

You know what surprised me most about Patong Central Residence & Apartment? It’s actually tucked away just enough from the main chaos of Patong that you can get a decent night’s sleep, but you’re still close enough to stumble back from Bangla Road without breaking the bank on a tuk-tuk. I mean, let’s be honest – most places in this area are either right in the thick of the madness or so far out you need a GPS just to find a 7-Eleven.

The building itself has that modern Thai apartment vibe going on, which honestly works better than some of the dated hotel blocks you see around here. What I really appreciated was the apartment-style setup – having a little kitchenette means you’re not stuck eating pad thai for every meal (though honestly, worse things could happen). The rooms are clean and spacious enough that you don’t feel like you’re living in a shoebox, which is more than I can say for some of the budget places closer to the beach. Sure, it’s a three-star property, but the 8.2 rating makes sense when you consider what you’re getting for the price point. The air conditioning actually works – and works well, which anyone who’s spent August in Thailand will tell you is basically non-negotiable.

Location-wise, you’re maybe a ten-minute walk to Patong Beach, fifteen if you stop for a mango smoothie along the way (and you will, because there’s this little cart that does them perfectly). The staff seem to actually live in the area, so they can point you toward the good local spots instead of just the tourist traps. I had them recommend this little seafood place down one of the side streets that I never would have found otherwise. The check-in was pretty straightforward too – no weird deposit demands or complicated key card systems that half work. Sometimes the simple things matter most when you’ve been traveling all day and just want to drop your bags and find a cold beer. It’s the kind of place where you feel like you’re staying somewhere locals might actually choose, not just another cookie-cutter hotel designed to separate tourists from their money as efficiently as possible.

Reviews of Patong Central Residence & Apartment

• Khai from Malaysia (9/10)

  The staff are very nice and welcoming. The owner also very good and welcoming. The hotel very clean and nice to stay. Located very near to the beach and nice places. Not the first time being here and for sure will be coming back.

• Travis from Australia (8/10)

  Comfortable beds and aircon. Staff on front desk 24 hours so doesn’t matter what time your flight times (we arrived around midnight and was not a problem). The pool area is basic but it has charm with the lounge chairs, the music and the little bar – taking a swim after a long day was really nice.
