If you're looking for a place to stay in Patong which is close to the party district (Bangla road) but still in walking distance to the beach, we can definitely recommend a stay at Fundee Boutique Hotel.
Our room was as described, very clean and equipped with relatively new furniture (the hotel itself was only about half a year old by the time of writing this review, we were told).
The aspect about this place we appreciated most is the extremely helpful and friendly staff. They always offered useful and honest advice when we had questions. And whenever the weather is not quite nice and you need to have some time killed, you can always have a nice chat with the staff in the lounge-like lobby. We really appreciated the relaxed, familiar atmosphere in the hotel.
The only downside we experienced during our stay is that a lot of construction work was going on in the neighbourhood (maybe this was because we came in low season though) and the main road is a bit noisy sometimes, which was a bit disturbing when trying to recover from a proper hangover till 3pm. However, the way more important downside is that the cute, perfectly English-speaking girl at the recepion has got a boyfriend already. Too bad ;)
Room Tip: The rooms that do not face the street might be a bit quieter.
