One of the best places to stay in Phuket with a budget. The place is clean, secure, convenient and safe. Location is very strategic and there's 7E n Family Mart right below. Rooms are clean with good air conditioning and heated water with good pressure. Comfortable bed as well. Highlight of the property is the Cuban owner who goes all out to ensure you're taken care of. Very helpful and friendly. Such a gem.

Thank you for your feedback. We regret that your four-day stay in the booked economy room did not meet your high expectations. The hotel is not new, but we keep renovating. We value cleanliness and apologize if something is not as it should be. Shortcomings can be reported anytime to our 24 hour reception, this would have given us the opportunity to take action and probably embellish your stay.

Ok priced and great location. Needed updating, their was mold all over bathroom and shower curtain, nothing a good clean couldn’t sort out. Ants in the bed but lady on reception sorted for us, (with bug spray) other staff was moody and ignorant. I’ve stayed in nicer places for the same price, ok for a couple of nights, wouldn’t stay any longer.

Response from Daniel Hofmann on 4 Dec 2019
Thank you for your feedback. We regret that your three-day stay in one of our standard rooms did not quite meet your expectations and that ants found their way to your room. In a tropical country, there are also unwanted pests, which we regularly take action against. The procedure of the night receptionist was completely correct, if the lack had been announced immediately, we would have had the chance to fix it during the daytime. The bathrooms are usually cleaned thoroughly and we prevent mold. We regret that the shower curtain and apparently a couple of tile joints had discoloration. The hotel is not new, but we value quality, cleanliness and hospitality. We are also constantly renovating and upgrading the rooms, so we are also among the best 3* hotels in Patong and offer a very fair price.

Great accommodation located centrally in Patong
Very good location within walking distance to most of the attractions in Patong. Bangla rd, bigC shopping, Jungceylon shopping mall, Patong Beach etc. You don't hear any noise from the clubs on bangla rd but there can be a little bit of traffic noise at times which is pretty standard in most busy areas of Patong. Great staff, they were polite and attentive. Rooms were kept very clean. Overall, very happy with my stay at MVC patong house.

I chose this location to be closer to the airport than my lodging on the south end of the island, plus wanted to explore Patong a little bit. By the time my day tour ended and dropped me off at the hotel after enduring heavy traffic, I was too tired to go out in the evening. The room is functional, however the property could use overall enhancement of decor. I am not a fan of the small bathroom with shower, toilet, and sink all in an enclosed area. There is no curtain separating the shower which means the toilet gets completely

Great budget option, nice and clean
Great budget option! Simple but very clean rooms with a safe. The room is basic, but close to the beach, Bangla, and Jungceylon. Besides shopping, drinking, and beaching there wasn’t that much to do in Patong like nature stuff or cultural stuff. The manager is very responsive and accomodating. The reception forgot to return my deposit, but the manager sent it over a PayPal right away. I’m overall pleased with my stay!

Thank you for your review and feedback. We regret that there was a technical problem with the boiler for about 36 hours and during this time only warm water from our solar water heater was available. I apologize that we seem to have made a mistake during your breakfast order, usually we like to fix them immediately - misunderstandings can happen because of linguistic barriers. Our employees are reliant on prompt notification of inconvenience so we can take action and give our guests a pleasant experience.

The restaurant is deadly, don't eat the seafood!
Its a cheap budget hotel in a noisy street with a large metal plate lying on the road at the entrance to the hotel that reverberates noisily all day and night every moment a vehicle goes over it. There is no car parking although as the only guest with a vehicle they did find me a space for the three nights I was there. The worse aspect of this hotel is the food poisoning and subsequent diarrhoea that I am still suffering from since I returned from this hotel to my home in Bangkok. It is a very serious matter even as I write this review .
Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2019
Response from Daniel Hofmann on 16 Jan 2019
We regret that you did not enjoy your stay despite a free upgrade to a standard room facing away from the road. Patong is a lively city, the central location should be clear and we as a hotel unfortunately can not change it. It is possible to park in one of our two parking spaces and there are more public parking spaces in the vicinity. Parking can not be reserved and we do not provide parking service. We regret that you caught food poisoning somewhere in Patong during your 3-day stay. We attach great importance to fresh dishes and high quality standards. The Sea Food Spaghetti, the only one you ordered on the second day, is a low risk. The huge XL fig yoghurt drink that you bought somewhere can also hit your stomach and the incubation period of food poisoning is short and short the symptoms appear within a few hours, not two days afterwards. We wish you a speedy recovery.

Good stay
We are traveling around the islands and this hotel was perfect for the basic we were looking for. The room is small but clean, the pressure of the shower is strong as well as the air conditioning. The hotel is situated walking distance from the main street with plenty of bars and restaurants. You are given only one key per room and if you decide to have overnight guess its 200 baht. The staff is friendly and helpful. I would recommend this hotel for backpackers or people looking for simple amenities.

This was a dreadful stay in a dreadful hotel. If you are thinking of booking it beware. The location is a kin to a downmarket Benidorm and to say the hotel is basic is an understatement. The room we had was small the curtains were torn, the windows didn't close and the shower was impossible to use without flooding everything. The restaurant staff tried to rip us off. We had a 9 night stay booked we left after 1 night. We never received an apology or refund

Thanks for the feedback. You have booked a basic room at the cheapest and non-refundable rate. Patong is a popular, lively and partly noisy city, unfortunately we can not help it. With your luxurious demands you would have better booked a 5 * chain hotel instead of a budget 3 star hotel like us. I hope you learned from your mistakes. Our employees have not tried to rip you off, it may be that someone made a mistake - or are you not making any mistakes? Anyway, we do not wish a hotel such a guest as you.
