by Peter Ash Visit Date:July 18, 2010 Room: Service: Facilities: Location: "This is a great hotel and our second time staying there. We had 6 days in July.The location is central but the hotel is quiet a real little oasis. Very easy to walk anywhere in Patong. The pools is great. Not over crowded ever and the hotel food is absolutely excellent. Staff service is first class they make you feel special. The hotel rooms and particularly bathrooms need some refurbishment. I understand that is now due. As soon as that is complete we will be back. Great stay." |

by Ian Spencer Visit Date:June 12, 2010 Room: Service: Facilities: Location: "Please read my comments of 31-Oct 2009 for a detailed review.3rd time at this hotel and it is still a nice friendly place. On the first night my room was not available so automatically got upgraded to the Salathai Suite. The rooms this year have all the mod cons from last year but they now have a stereo/dvd system added which is rather nice.The staff are all super friendly and even got me to the airport at 5am when my main driver failed. I shall be back in October. Ian & Pairor" |
by Ian Visit Date:June 11, 2010 Room: Service: Facilities: Location: "One of the best places I ve ever stayed.The Salathai is situated on a street which some say is bustling . I would however here disagree. It s pleasantly lively, but it isn t Bangla!As soon as you step in, it s clear you re somewhere special. The restaurant where breakfast is taken is almost on the street, and makes a pleasant outlook. Step further inside though past the reception desk, and you re in another world.The gardens are lush - there is no other word. The pool with recliners surrounding is fantastic, and everywhere is so clean.I saw the walkway outside the rooms being pressure cleaned whilst I was there.Scattered around are little pools with lillies, and if you look inside, there are lots of tiny colourful fish living there.Some have said on tripadvisor that the rooms feel dated and one report said even shabby. I have no idea where they have that idea from - can only think it was a rival hotelier lol. Yes the rooms are furnished in darkish wood furniture, but it s all very pleasant. No, you won t find ultra modern glass everywhere decor, but it s comfortable, the beds edge towards the harder side, but this is preferred by me anyway.The only criticism perhaps is the bathroom which is like a wetroom. It s probably time for a little refurb here - and I believe this is exactly what s happening to this hotel. Really though I d be hard pressed to think where it could be improved.Something I have to say is regarding the breakfast. Many reviews have said how it s basic and not good. They must have taken this criticism on board, because now it is fantastic. There s a choice of warm food - usually some sort of meat mini steak. There s noodles, fried rice, beans, sausage and bacon. There s also a fresh egg station where you can order omlettes.Besides this, there s choices of fruit juices, cereal with milk, then there s toast, coissants, danish pastry, and also a choice of tropical fruit. Really I don t think you can ask for more, unless you re a full english/irish/scottish breakfast freak.The staff are wonderful, nuff said.Clientelle - well this will obviously change week by week, but I found it was a nice mixture, couples, familes with young children and some single discerning travellers. Unlike some hotels I ve stayed at, the wifi is fast and reliable, with few dropouts, and I was able to keep friends updated via facebook and my blog. The minibar is great, and in low season is complementary. The aircon is efficient (important).I had two minor complaints whilst I was there - the sink pipe became detached, and there was a mosquito lurking problem in the room (A previous guest must have left the door open during the day). These were both dealt with extremely quickly - within 10 minutes.All in all, if you re looking for a friendly and reasonable hotel in beautiful surroundings, near to the nightlife but where you ll get a good nights sleep - you will have to go far to beat the Salathai." |
by Herbert W. Fong Visit Date:June 5, 2010 Room: Service: Facilities: Location: "I agree with prior reviews stating the hotel was better than expected!! The hotel s 2 star category is underrated.. The hotel should be at least a 3 Star property. The hotel is not large, so offers a boutique like atmosphere, with nice clean rooms, a large pool and garden area, a good restaurant and a most friendly and helpful staff. The hotel s location is excellent, close to the beachand to the nightlife. Hard to beat for the price.." |
by Kim Irwin Visit Date:May 5, 2010 Room: Service: Facilities: Location: "We loved our stay at Salathai. We were very happy with our room and the staff were wonderful, friendly and helpful. I would certainly stay there again. I did the cooking course they offered and really enjoyed it." |
by Louis Swanepoel Visit Date:April 6, 2010 Room: Service: Facilities: Location: "Salathai was better than expected, the room was neat and clean. The minibar in the room is FREE and is replenished daily with a few sodas and some beers. Everything you need within walking distance, laundry, tour operators, massage, 7Eleven, restaurants etc...You can hire sun loungers at the beach for 100 baht/day/person - very reasonable! The hotel is the middle of everything. 2 min walk to the beach, a 5 min walk to the shopping centre or 4 min walk to the local market...you have it all at you feet! The hotel also offers a free shuttle service at specified times to Phuket town, Central Shopping Complex. Look no further, this is where you ll want to stay." |

by Lance Button Visit Date:March 19, 2010 Room: Service: Facilities: Location: "The hotel was excellent. The room was clean and well appointed. Staff were very friendly and professional. Only one pool but very good. My only comment about my stay was the laundry service was a little slow. Apart from that I had an excellent stay and will use this hotel again on my next trip." |
by Paul Hansberry Visit Date:March 15, 2010 Room: Service: Facilities: Location: "I have stayed here four times now and it is always a pleasure. The staff always look after me and my daughter with great service. I like the location and the restaurant has really good food. Looking forward to my next stay." |
March 11, 2010 by Johan D. de Kam Visit Date:March 9, 2010 Room: Service: Facilities: Location: "Good resort, in the middle of Patong and close to the beach (ca. 150 mtrs)Patong is hustling and bustling, but nevertheless the resort is relaxing and quiet. Good swimmingpool.Overall a resort to recommend" |
by Janet Main Visit Date:March 2, 2010 Room: Service: Facilities: Location: "We had a wonderful holiday at Salathai Resort due the excellent service received. Every member of staff at Salathai goes out of their way to ensure you are happy. Salathai Resort is a little gem and we would certainly book this hotel again." |
by Robert Mackenzie Ellis Visit Date:January 20, 2010 Room: Service: Facilities: Location: "This was our first visit to Thailand and we were pleasantly surprised by the friendly reception we received from the hotel staff. The hotel is centrally placed in Patong but is quiet with a nice garden and swimming pool. The breakfast is ample with a variety of choices but the food in general is not particularly inspired. We stayed in aSalathai suite but the bathroom was hopeless regarding lighting and the shower curtain was wrongly placed, so the bathroom looked more like a swimming pool after a shower! Among the amenities we appreciated were the beach towels,beach bag and sandals as well as the complimentary mini-bar, which was refilled every day. The tv had limited programmes but the free wi-fi connection worked well. All in all, wethink this hotel gives good value for money and look forward to returning." |
perfect as usual. I ve used it for 5 years, January 24, 2010 by Daria Karmishina Visit Date:January 13, 2010 Room: Service: Facilities: Location: "Nice and quiet. 300 - 400 m to the Patong beach. Staff is very helpful." |
