Guest Friendly Hotels Patong 2024 Update: All the information below is first-hand from my last trip to Patong in 2022. I visited many hotels, spoke to staff/owners, and took new pics.
Most of the best Guest Friendly Hotels in Patong are located close to Bangla Road, the center of Phuket’s nightlife. Guest friendly hotel is a hotel that allows you to bring unregistered guests back to your hotel room without an extra charge (joiner fee).
Many hotels in Patong are not guest friendly. Some hotels charge a high joiner fee or have a strict “no guests allowed” policy. The location is also very important in Patong. There is a tuk-tuk mafia and the tuk-tuks charge 200 or more baht even for a short distance. To avoid disappointment, follow the two golden rules:
- Always book a room for two people
- Make sure your guest has an ID
