The Connect Guesthouse is part of the Paradise Complex. This was one of the early prestigious tourists developments in Patong. But neglect, mismanagement, lack of maintenance, a diversity of residents and the Thai way of community living has meant it is now in parts quite rundown and shabby. But it is also a very real place full of real people... More

No hotel in the world is so mis-named. I have stayed here before, several years ago, before the original owners sold it on and was reasonably satisfied. This time, after a couple of weeks of email exchanges with the hotel manager who assured me that each room had reliable wifi access iwhich I had specifically asked for as an essential,... More

firstly, let me admit that I own a 4 star hotel in the uk. Having never been to Phuket, I only had the web site to go on and booked a weeks stay on the strength of the site. I also read trip advisor, but was not ready for what I found. I booked room 606 as I wanted a... More

I stayed at Connect Guest house on the Summer of 2011 and I thought back then it was great value for the price I was paying. It is located in the 'gay area' and in general I had a great time there.

Had a five night stay at the Connect Guesthouse January 14th - 19th. The room had a balcony looking down onto all of the action along the main strip of the Paradise Complex. It was small but comfortable however the noise level was, for me anyway, quite unbearable. Soundproof glass really doesn't help much when the building is practically throbbing... More

I stayed 16 nights on my first visit to Thailand. The room felt like 1960's Cuba and the restaurant was brilliant. Fantastic staff and tremendous pricing! Nothing beats it for value, people watching potential and ambience ! It's close to all the action, and really gay in its culture. Loved it! One word of warning! ... all the nightclubs -... More
