The people and staff are amazing, but the hotel rooms looked nothing like the picture when I booked it , they need to be honest when describing the room and area , I felt a little let down once I got to my room .

Very run down hotel with poor service. The uncleanliness of the room and mold is a major health hazard. There was mold in the aircon and all over the bathroom and curtains. Many things were broken/working including the kettle, safe, broken mirror, light bulb in bathroom blown (and not changed despite pointing it out to staff), broken towel rail (tried to put a towel on the towel rail and it just fell to the floor), the elevator seemed unsafe and had wires exposed where you need to press the buttons, and the shower leaked water all over the bathroom every shower because the shower curb didn't go all the way across the floor. The staff service was also very average. Often when our room was made up our dirty towels would be taken but not replaced and they were very inconsistent with the basic room service. The bed is very hard. The only positive things I have to say is that is in a good location but the rooms are definately not sound proofed as advertised. Also worth mentioning that when we arrived there was a dispute about the hotel double booking a room and the day before we checked out the same thing happened to someone else. This place is not worth your money or your sanity!

The hotel room is very ordinary, but what distinguishes this residence is its proximity to the beach and many services are available next to it

The rooms were alright. Breakfast was very basic. Pool was tiny and not very clean. Not worth the AUD $250 a night, unfortunately.

This hotel was directly in the middle of the hustle and bustle of Phuket. It was full of people. The busy street was directly in front. The days I arrived there was a festival on the beach. So music, concert and crowds till 1am. No beach view. The beach was dirty and full of people. Beach water was full of seaweed. Couldn’t swim in it. I was so disappointed. The pool was very small didn’t look clean. I didn’t try the restaurant or breakfast. Location was walkable to market place and beach. Hotel room was large and clean. Great hotel for friends or single guest.

Modern Living hotel is situated close to everything you need. The only downfall was there was an open market set upon the beach opposite on my second week, no great problem, bought earplugs and slept like a baby. The hotel was perfect for what I wanted, I was out all day, so just needed a shower and a bed, perfect.

The pictures that were advertised were very deceiving. Bedsheets were dirty. Bed was rock hard. I had back aches after 1st night. Towels were old and ragged. Shower was dirty and smelled. We requested room for 3, and they added a portable small bed in a small bedroom...was not enough room for 3 people. Bed frame was rusty. Pool was gross. Old and rusty. we didnt even use. Cleaners and staff were friendly.

The bed was large and comfortable. However, the aircon did not work properly, there were no bedside lamps, the fridge leaked, the lift was being constantly used by staff so it took 10 minutes to go down 1 floor and there was no staircase instead of lift. I was surprised because your app suggested that at 83AUD i had received a significant discount but the room was not worth the discount rate, let alone the full rate. I wouldn’t recommend the hotel.

Remodeled and updated hotel. Only real take away is a poor view from my balcony. The balcony view looked so much better from the photos. Otherwise it was a very convenient location along Patong Beach.

Spectacular! Was in room 1418; (deluxe room beach view with balcony). Room was giant, with balcony with incredible view of the beach and sun right in my room every later afternoon with giant floor to ceiling windows- sliding doors, tons of tv channels with easy switch to english, huge bathroom, hot water, any closer you’d be sleeping on the beach! kind and caring staff! BOOK IT!

Liked proximity to beach and staff were fantastic. It was convenient having the travel agent right in front of the hotel. The elevator broke down while we were there and the stairway is extremely narrow. On check-out day it was challenging getting our luggage down the narrow staircase.

This building is very old, unsafe and noisy. Needs to be fully renovated and soundproofed. The room we booked was a deluxe jacuzzi with pool access from verandah. You can get into pool that is 2.4 metres deep but there’s no stairs to get you out. For a young spruce fit person no worries but for an over 35+ and someone with hip problems or similar this is a definite health and safety issue. The bed was the most uncomfortable bed we had , after traveling for. Month staying in dozens of beds in different accomodations. Seriously bad. And the noise from other rooms and the city below every night from 5 pm till 6 am it’s just so loud it’s impossible to sleep. Yes close to everything, walking distance, across the road from main beach. But if your over 30 don’t do it. We stayed for 1 night paid for 5 and checked out and went elsewhere for 4 days. Much better beds in 5 ⭐️
