TRIBE Phuket Patong by Accor

Traveling during peak season, the hotel's location is decent. There's a 7-Eleven about a 5-minute walk away. Getting to Jungceylon or the bar street is more convenient by motorbike, and you can pay extra for two people to ride. The room has a nice small balcony with two high chairs and a table, perfect for watching the sunset, smoking, or drying clothes. Breakfast was alright. The hotel service was good, though for nearly 1000 baht a night, it feels more like a 500-yuan hotel in China, as no one helps with luggage when you arrive or opens doors for you. The pool isn't huge but is pleasant for sunbathing. I left a 50 baht tip on the bed and, as hoped, got a towel animal.

Aside from the friendly and enthusiastic front desk staff, everything else was a complete disaster! I've stayed at 5 hotels in Patong, and this one was by far the worst! The street noise made it impossible to sleep, and the roaring motorbikes were truly shocking! I have no idea how this place is considered a four-star hotel. I can understand having to ask for a razor, but even a toothbrush? This hotel absolutely does not meet four-star standards! The room facilities and size are, at best, on par with a budget business hotel. The breakfast was pathetic, with almost nothing edible, and the guava offered wasn't even fresh.
