The Yorkshire Hotel

Amazing

Good value hotel located in the action packed nite-life area of central Patong. Very close to the Jung Ceylon shopping mall and also Patong Beach. Hotel has a nice pool and gym.

Good things: - staff were nice, especially the Filipino woman at the reception. - Close to everything, shopping centre pretty much next door, markets a 5 minute walk. - Gym is fully equipped, I'm talking barbells, dumbbells and racks. Good for gym rats. - Got a decent bar and restaurant down stairs. - it is fairly old looking but the room has all you need Bad things: -it can be a bit noisy at night because of the nightclubs and bars. -Aircon was noisy, it made it a bit hard to sleep the first few nights. -One of the night staff was a bit rude, me and my partner were coming back after a night out and she thought my partner was a prostitute! I Can tell you that my partner upset for the rest of the stay. - no elevators, so if you have big luggage prepare to hull it up and down a few set of stairs. - Cleaning staff opened our room door a few times without knocking or asking if anyone was there. Lucky we weren't naked. Had a pretty decent stay overall, if I was to stay around Patong I would most likely do it in a quieter part instead of the busy area where some dude tries to get you to buy a kebab or taxi every 10m.

Hotel is in a great location for nightlife, bars, restaurants and shopping. Rooms are adequate for the price.

The thing that makes this hotel good is the staff. They are very friendly and helpful. Hotel management should be thrilled they have them since staff much nicer than management. The gym and pool area are nice. The hotel is broken up into different areas that may require you to walk on busy street to get to lobby/restaurant/pool/gym area. That was a bit odd. But the bar and restaurant were good and very reasonably priced. And, as mentioned, the staff were great. The room itself was a bit dated, had a few electrical outlets that didn't work, but it was tidy and clean, and the maid kept it clean. Bed was very comfortable. I should say for the record that I opted for one of the one bedroom suites. Even thought there was a wifi router in the room, it was very poor and kept dropping connection. The restaurant wifi seemed better. The area is either good or bad, depending on what you like. It was not too far from Bangla Road, but the noise was not noticeable in my roadside upstairs room with AC going. If you are there to partake in what Patong party life has to offer or are just looking for a centrally located hotel, it's a great location. If you happen to think Patong is a shytehole, then the area is overcrowded with drunk farangs which is annoying. Probably should have just stayed in the hotel. It was like a quiet oasis.
