Ulasan The Gig Hotel

Moved from Old Town to Patong. My experience in Old Town was superb, enjoyable and relaxing. As we were approaching Gig Hotel, my spirit took a deep plunge from excitement to anticlimax ! thought I had found a gem hotel after reading all the positive highly rated reviews. It was a total disaster and the start of my nightmares! The streets were lined with sleazy massage parlours and Muslim eateries. I thought I was in Middle East. It’s impossible to find authentic Thai cuisine in that vicinity, let alone any restaurant serving pork. Breakfast in hotel has no pork too. Receptionist gave wrong info of breakfast venue. Told us it’s at the rooftop but it’s actually on the first floor. Breakfast was always crowded and food not replenished after 10 am. 2 coffee machines but long line of queue as it takes forever to dispense a cup of coffee/drink. No informing prior to breakfast closure. Staff just started clearing everything abruptly. The chairs are another nuisance, so heavy that tends to hit the chair behind every time you get up. The whole tables and chairs setting was almost back-to-back, very tight and uncomfortable. The so called infinity pool was rather small and always packed as guests from Gu Hotel (located just opposite and under the same management) share hotel amenities. The gym was so pathetic with only a couple of equipment. Next, the room was oddly designed and poorly furnished. There’s nothing luxury about the room. In fact, it felt cheap, poorly designed with much wasted space. Apart from being spacious and having full amenities, everything else was mediocre. Same or 1 type of homogeneous tile for the whole room, including toilet and wet/shower areas so possibility of slipping hazards. The wardrobe and toilet share the same door and the track wasn’t smooth. Have to exert bull strength to open and close. In the end, we just left the door half opened. Too tedious to open and close. The main entrance door was also faulty. We had to push it real hard to level and lock it. No coffee table between the TV and sofa and no luggage stand. No view from balcony - faces the facade of the other rooms. Moreover it’s too hot to sit at the balcony with the air-con compressor running. Poor soundproofing, we got awakened by noisy housekeeping staff outside our room every morning! Good luck to those with big and heavy luggage. No porter at sight when we arrived and the only way to the reception is either a flight of stairs or a very steep ramp. The potter appeared after we processed our check-in and offered to help us with our luggage which we declined. Why should we tip him after lugging the flight of stairs? Checkout is strictly at 12 noon. For late checkout, additional charge applies. .We couldn’t wait to end our stay at Gig Hotel. How could this hotel be awarded 4*? The only plus point is, it’s near Jungceylon.

Great location, clean rooms, and friendly staff—The Gig Hotel Phuket exceeded expectations! The hotel is also near to the beach, which makes it a great place to stay.

Best hotel best staff and close to everything I come here every year see you soon ❤️

Wonderful location, beautiful sunset views from rooftop pool, and good food and service as well. Been to Patong numerous times but I believe this hotel is now my favourite in the Center of Patong. You can find everything you need nearby and the hotel has everything one needs. We also took the ATV tour from their service desk. We ate in their rooftop restaurant, the food is not bad. We did the steamed fish in lime sauce. Highly recommended for couples!

Best hotel and budget friendly. Never thought that we would get a great view room with this price.

Gig hotel location was in the alley which is noiseless when you need to sleep peacefully. It's only abt 5min walk to Jungleone shopping n central mall n walking steet..Recommend you talk a grab to the beach. Breakfast was average. Staff were nice.Not forgetting trip.com gave me a complimentary ticket to Simon cabaret show..

Room clean service also good roof top bar also very nice view 😀 if you choose this hotel you will feel better

3-4 minit patong beach and Bangla road.....

The room was cleaned every day if required the restaurant and rooftop pool were excellent food fantastic breakfast unbelievable all round great hotel will definitely book again and recommend

Nice enough place with premium location with 2 minute walking distance to Bangla rd and the beach. Nice tour booking on front desk. Breakfast was good and different every day although very crowded, only didn’t like that outdoor eating was the only option when it’s so hot outside. I personally really liked the rooftop pool, it was the highlight. The rooms themselves are a little outdated but was very spacious and nice, biggest room I had in Thailand. Unfortunately had to pay 100 baht for losing one room key. Front desk didn’t seem very happy.

Great location could use a remodel definitely not 4 stars staff Great breakfast good

Great hotel, perfect location! The room was extra big with a giant bed, shower was great too. The view from the window was bad but who cares.. pool area is amazing with sunset view and tasty food. Recommended for my opinion just not more than 2 nights as you can feel mildew in your breath after a full sleep..

The hotel is located in a very convenient spot — just a short walk to Bangla Road, Jungceylon Mall, and the beach. Despite being so close to the action, the hotel feels peaceful and relaxing

We stumbled upon this hotel by chance, and it happened to be directly opposite Patong Night Market. I found the hotel's location to be absolutely fantastic. The hotel itself was also quite good. If you love a lively atmosphere, you'll adore this place, as everything you could want – food, drinks, and entertainment – is right at your doorstep. The beach is roughly a 15-minute walk away. Our two-day stay here was excellent. I'd highly recommend it for younger travelers; however, older guests might not appreciate the constant hustle and bustle right outside.
