Modern Living Hotel

Front staff great or better Rooms clean Hotel old But one of the best You would enjoy

The manager and staff here are amazing. I would stay here again anytime. The price is good and location is great. The facility is a little older but kept up well. The Wi-Fi and internet was a serious problem. I was unable to keep online appointments. To the staff’s credit, they upgraded my room and made sure I got the access I needed to work.

hotel bien situé, bon prix. Cependant beaucoup de bruit la nuit.

I loved having a swimming pool on my terrace with an ocean view. The 5 restaurants beside the hotel are also very good and reasonably priced. I will book there again for my next trip , it ticked all my boxes.

booked 3 nights left after 1 night, would not let my dog sleep here I have seen better pigstys, dirty, very dated

Pleasant staff

My experience with the hotel started with some staff not working. The hotel was all over it, fixed everything in a matter of hours. The staff is amazingly nice and accepted me with open arms. The area is totally walkable and the beach is right across the street. My room was wonderful and you feel, believe it or not, some from home. I give this hotel a high thumbs up..👍👍👍

The room had a really bad odor. I was forced to upgrade.. then i was told that the elevator is broken and i had to go to 3rd floor with leg injury. At checkout they wouldnt return my deposit. They said it was for room charge but i paid in full through expedia.. they are thieves

The room is was very clean, quiet, staff was very nice, I didn’t wanted to leave! I stayed for a week. If I come back to Phuket would look to stay here again!

Staff is wonderful, rooms where clean and comfortable. Had a problem with the air conditioner in the first room, and was given another room right away. Then the tv had some problems and maintenance was called and fixed with in the hour. Overall, we would stay again.

For the price location is amazing right across from beach lots of great places to eat. Rooms are ok clean and comfortable just small.down side rooms in front will be noisy and rooms in back have smoke from restaurant BBQs

Everything with them walking distance

Wifi unusable Aircon warm Shower weak Construction noise all day on Sunday No response to these issues when raised with staff

Big thank you to the friendly staff who organised my taxi to the airport!

very friendly staff, excellent value for money and in a great location!

Right on the main rd. Good for people watching. Be prepared for noise until the early hours. Nice beach to see the sunset. Busy, streets full of food, entertainment and shops. Friendly vibe. Hotel was clean, room was comfortable. Good base for day trips and night life.

.

The photos are SO MISLEADING! Run! Even if the dirty, dated rooms and creepy, confusing hallways don't bother you, the NOISE. Oh my god the NOISE! We didn't end up staying the night, and we saw two other parties leave without staying as well. Even 5 stories up, the traffic sounded like it was in our room. Not just normal traffic noises either, trucks with megaphones broadcasting Muy Thai events roll by every 2 minutes all night. LOUD. And it's just a trashy place and area. Thailand has much better to offer. Again, the photos are selling a bill of rights here, the property is run down and unsanitary to put it lightly.

Don’t be put off by the outside and reception, the rooms are kept very clean, if you can, probably best to get a room at the back of the hotel rather than a sea view as quieter. The front rooms although having a better view are on a noisy road. The hotel is just across the road from the beach and do supply towels to take on to the beach. Breakfast is ok, they do cook eggs and omelettes to your order and you can sit on the balcony and what Patong Beach start to go to work.

I recently had the misfortune of staying at the Modern Living Hotel, and I must say, it was a thoroughly unpleasant experience. While the hotel's location is ideal, the rooms and service left much to be desired. The moment I entered my room, I was hit with a vile odor that smelled like a combination of rot and decay. It was as if the room hadn't been properly cleaned or ventilated in weeks. To make matters worse, the bed sheets were filthy, with visible stains and a general sense of uncleanliness.But the problems didn't stop there. The front desk staff, particularly the young woman I interacted with, was incredibly rude and unhelpful. It seemed like she was bothered by my presence, and didn't care about addressing my concerns. To top it all off, the entire hotel seemed to be plagued by a lingering stench that can only be described as fecal. It was overwhelming and made my stay even more unbearable.Needless to say, I would not recommend the Modern Living Hotel to anyone. While the location may be convenient, the hotel's numerous shortcomings make it a place to avoid at all costs.

Property is not safe and secure. Elevator does not work. Stairs in the floor. Stinky odor and noisy at night ( you cant sleep)

Sewage smell. Run down place. Electricity problems. Poor quality built

Worst property! Lift doesn’t work properly. Swimming pool is the size of a pea and is in an unusable condition. Balcony is the size of 5mm. Can’t even step onto the balcony. Only good thing is that the location is amazing - right infront of Patong beach and walking distance to Bangla road.

No bus service elevator is hard to get. No English. Noise all night.

Location was very good. Staff is also very friendly and helpful. But the bed was very hard and it was very difficult to sleep, cause every night you could hear loud music from the beach and other pubs around, they start 22:00-01:00. You could not sleep until after 01:00. Also the water in the shower was very weak, it was difficult to wash you hair.

WORST HOTEL I have ever stayed in, booked for two nights but stayed for one, left as soon as we could. Noisy as hell itself in the room, music from outside was louder in the room then it was on the balcony, shower drain did not drain, whole bathroom flooded, Dirty place not sure if the sheets were clean forgot my UV light, have to unplug the TV as there was no OTHER POWER POINTS plus TV didn't work anyway. went to see if we could change rooms and let them know about the TV, was told no other rooms available and TV would be fix next day sometime. Elevator was broken and was being fixed from 8pm to 12am on our first day there, it only took 15 mins to get shown our room as the elevator had a glitch and wouldn't come to the first floor on arrival, so had to use stairs that were a death trap in itself, only way to your rooms was through the kitchen or the alley way full of sharp metal poles and sheets of metal everywhere, good luck if you've had a bit to drink, they also didn't mind using the grinder and hammer at 12am in the morning to fix the elevator and if you make it through all that the bed is like a rock. stay away from this hotel 0 out of 10 from us, would have been better staying in a backpacker hostel with my family. only thing good about this hotel was leaving and finding a taxi to the speed boats.

Waited a hour to check in, hotel wasn’t very clean, lifts didn’t work the majority of time as the chamber maid had them on hold, I feel through decking on the balcony causing cuts and scrapes no health and safety what’s so ever, the worst hotel I have stayed in, I did get a full refund

Nice

Paid extra for a room with a jacuzzi. The jacuzzi has cut wires with oxidation showing the spa hasnt worked for a while. Also, the down button on the elevator doesnt work and the stairs don't go to the lobby.

It’s a dump with no working lift and a staircase to navigate that’s 10” wide yes 10” wide. Their was an old soap bar in the bathroom with rats at the back door yuck

Overall Ok.

Modern Living - disaster would be more appropriate. Bed linen was dirty, towels filthy and threadbare with brown stains. It literally looked like they'd been used by the previous guests and passed on to the next. The room could be soundproofed to mitigate noise at night time. Also the scuttling of rats in the dining room above kept you awake in fear. The place has potential but desperately needs an injection of investment and improvement

The hotel is in a very convenient location with easy access to beach. Bed was hard, toilet leaked, was noisy at night. Needs an upgrade.

Staff dis not issue a refund, refused to reply to me about any refund, it was dirty, water damage everywhere, smelled really aweful, noisy and people slamming doors and street noise was horrible, they where very inconsiderate of us and our issues, laughed when we said this was unacceotable. Issue me my refund! I would NEVER recommened this place, our first time experience in phuket was ruined because of this hotel.

Excellent location. Perfect for an overnight stay.

Good location relative to the beach. Staff was pleasant. Property is old and out dated. During my 4 day stay the electricity went out, and could not use the elevator. Water went out and could not take a shower. Pool was not working. Pictures. When water was working the shower knob in the bathroom was broken. I travel with friends and at least one other room had a broken shower knob. Finally my television was not working

very good location. property a bit dated but clean and comfortable no real swimming pool but amazing views from the roof bar area

Ok now more

Anything you could possibly want is in walking distance

Its so nice place and near everything and nice worker

Nice place Good position Value Soon refit I think Always happy

Lovely place Great staff

Lovely place Good people Big concert on the beach

This is our second time staying here this time we are traveling with our kids, 15 and 21-year-old. We booked the deluxe room with pool access, which is an amazing deal. It is right across the street from the beach. There was a beach festival right across the street. We were able to enjoy the music while relaxing in the pool, which is way bigger than the hotel pool on the fifth floor. It Is close proximity to the nightlife. Definitely not a bougie hotel and needs some updates but great for the proximity and the price.

Superb hospitality and staff is super friendly, highly recommend staying over here

It was cheap and easy place to get around.

Not a bad place. Just the building needs a fair bit of maintenance.

Bed is very hard. Staff don’t really acknowledge you. No hot water in shower, dirty environment and smells bad.

We enjoyed our stay at your gracious hotel, the pool at our door was amazing after a long hot day on excursions, breakfast was simple but plentiful, the room was always maintained perfectly, the staff were always friendly & helpful. Looking forward to returning here again.

Manager was a joker I stayed here and paid for an extension they proceeded to kick me out of the room stole my money would not let me stay I booked another hotel instead for these days and did not even return. The hotel pool doesn’t work the rooms all smell bad the elevator doesn’t work the shower and toilet are in the same section and the shower head is broken the stairs are messed up the staff is unhelpful .they didn’t want to give me an electrical key to keep the ac running they were dirty no sufficient places to lock your valuables … management not trustworthy either. All in all this place is as dirty grimy as it gets decent location yes but realistically I’ve stayed at 3 other hotels with bigger and better rooms for cheaper on this block i suggest Rico’s or maybe some of the other ones closer to Bangla road … I stayed here for 1 week didn’t complain much cuz it was cheap but also the gym is misleading the weights are all broken and the ac is never on it’s a legitimate sauna in there .. the pool is completely destroyed probably won’t be fixed anytime soon… honestly I never really leave reviews and I’ve been travelling to about a hundred hotels this year this is bottom of my list.

Do not get the suite with pool, the pool is old and literally crumbling and doesn’t work. But the suite is nice

Wonderful place

Nice basic hotel, across the road from the beach. Great location... A nice, clean, budget hotel with friendly staff.

Great location

The worst hotel I've ever experienced in Thailand. There was no customer service at all. The stairs were dirty and dangerous. I even fell down right away as the receptionist took me to my room, but she didn't seem to care. I booked the room for four nights, but I only stayed for one hour. They sent someone to fix the shower, but they said they couldn't fix it today. There was also low water pressure and bad AC. I booked another hotel and left. Before booking a new hotel, I asked them about a refund, and they said they would wait for an email from my Expedia agent. My agent has contacted them several times, but they haven't responded or issued a refund yet. You will waste your money and be very inconvenienced if you book this hotel.

The employees at this motel were amazing. The service was great. The location was great. The bed was too hard, but I had a balcony overlooking the beach which made it worth it.

Great property

The Hotel is old and the maintenance has not been good the last years

Fantastic location staff very helpful

this is a budget hotel honestly not bad at all as many bad reviewers say ,if you’re very picky consider staying in a resort instead

I liked the service and helpfulness of the staff. Good and tasty breakfast. Excellent location. However the cleanliness of the place was relatively poor and I was taken up to a room that hadn’t been cleaned at all. Also there were no bedside lights in my room and no sockets near the bed so couldn’t look at my phone in bed when I it needed charging. Apart from that I would recommend it if you want to stay for a night or two and want to go to the bars, restaurants and clubs in the centre of Patong and/ or go the beach.

So noisy right on the road they say with sea views but there a road and trees blocking the view for bar was closed

The people and staff are amazing, but the hotel rooms looked nothing like the picture when I booked it , they need to be honest when describing the room and area , I felt a little let down once I got to my room .

Clean with great staff

Very run down hotel with poor service. The uncleanliness of the room and mold is a major health hazard. There was mold in the aircon and all over the bathroom and curtains. Many things were broken/working including the kettle, safe, broken mirror, light bulb in bathroom blown (and not changed despite pointing it out to staff), broken towel rail (tried to put a towel on the towel rail and it just fell to the floor), the elevator seemed unsafe and had wires exposed where you need to press the buttons, and the shower leaked water all over the bathroom every shower because the shower curb didn't go all the way across the floor. The staff service was also very average. Often when our room was made up our dirty towels would be taken but not replaced and they were very inconsistent with the basic room service. The bed is very hard. The only positive things I have to say is that is in a good location but the rooms are definately not sound proofed as advertised. Also worth mentioning that when we arrived there was a dispute about the hotel double booking a room and the day before we checked out the same thing happened to someone else. This place is not worth your money or your sanity!

The hotel room is very ordinary, but what distinguishes this residence is its proximity to the beach and many services are available next to it

This hotel was directly in the middle of the hustle and bustle of Phuket. It was full of people. The busy street was directly in front. The days I arrived there was a festival on the beach. So music, concert and crowds till 1am. No beach view. The beach was dirty and full of people. Beach water was full of seaweed. Couldn’t swim in it. I was so disappointed. The pool was very small didn’t look clean. I didn’t try the restaurant or breakfast. Location was walkable to market place and beach. Hotel room was large and clean. Great hotel for friends or single guest.

The rooms were alright. Breakfast was very basic. Pool was tiny and not very clean. Not worth the AUD $250 a night, unfortunately.

Nothing at all

Modern Living hotel is situated close to everything you need. The only downfall was there was an open market set upon the beach opposite on my second week, no great problem, bought earplugs and slept like a baby. The hotel was perfect for what I wanted, I was out all day, so just needed a shower and a bed, perfect.

The pictures that were advertised were very deceiving. Bedsheets were dirty. Bed was rock hard. I had back aches after 1st night. Towels were old and ragged. Shower was dirty and smelled. We requested room for 3, and they added a portable small bed in a small bedroom...was not enough room for 3 people. Bed frame was rusty. Pool was gross. Old and rusty. we didnt even use. Cleaners and staff were friendly.

The bed was large and comfortable. However, the aircon did not work properly, there were no bedside lamps, the fridge leaked, the lift was being constantly used by staff so it took 10 minutes to go down 1 floor and there was no staircase instead of lift. I was surprised because your app suggested that at 83AUD i had received a significant discount but the room was not worth the discount rate, let alone the full rate. I wouldn’t recommend the hotel.

Remodeled and updated hotel. Only real take away is a poor view from my balcony. The balcony view looked so much better from the photos. Otherwise it was a very convenient location along Patong Beach.

We are only here two days and it wasn’t long enough

Property is clean but old, leaking taps and overall in major need of renovations. At least remove all the pool tiles that has fallen off as well as all the roofing screws let's on the patio after repairs

Nice location, need some upgreats

Great location but just not up to my standard.

Great location right on the beach.

Horrible place- we’ve lost out as we couldn’t get a refund!!!! We left after one night it was so bad we were supposed to stay 5!!! Staff were lovely but an absolute dive!!.

Room was very nice, I had a personal private pool on the balcony looking at the ocean. Pretty nice. Small but would easily fit a few people. Bed was comfortable. Close to everything. Very noisy at night w all the people partying outside down the streets. Nice overall.

Great location, friendly and helpful staff.

Nice stay Good people

Budget hotel but costly

The pictures online didn’t match what I was expecting from the room. It was in a good location however

Spectacular! Was in room 1418; (deluxe room beach view with balcony). Room was giant, with balcony with incredible view of the beach and sun right in my room every later afternoon with giant floor to ceiling windows- sliding doors, tons of tv channels with easy switch to english, huge bathroom, hot water, any closer you’d be sleeping on the beach! kind and caring staff! BOOK IT!

Staff were friendly and helpful , room was great location was handy to everything .only downside was car wheels going over a grate in the road a little noisy at night

Close to Patong beach amd Bangla Road. Noisy but to be expected for the convenience of the location.

It’s okay place not for families not comfortable for them just friends okay

Good position on the beach and in the middle of everything

It was great

Don’t waste your time!! Building is very old and not taken cared of. Beds are rock solid. Rooms are dirty. Just not a good experience at all. We left right after we checked in and saw our room.

Liked proximity to beach and staff were fantastic. It was convenient having the travel agent right in front of the hotel. The elevator broke down while we were there and the stairway is extremely narrow. On check-out day it was challenging getting our luggage down the narrow staircase.

The property was very well located just across the road is the beach . The staff is very friendly and helpful with everything. There is small pool on the roof top and has a very good view of the sea . Many restaurants and shopping nearby.

I like this hotel. Have a good location close to restaurants and walking streets. Room clean and nice. Staff was very friendly. We will come back again next time.

i like the location right in front of the beach and the staffs are nice and friendly very helpful and the most important thing is nearby the Bangla street and easy to find the resturants

The best hotel in Patong. Great location near the beach and walking street. Staff very helpful and friendly. Room nice and clean. We will come back.

The property is very well located right across the road is the beach . Its 5 minutes walk to Bangla road . All the restaurants are located right next to the property I recommend this place to everyone as it has a good vibe . The rooftop bar has a beautiful view and is very good . Would definitely stay here again.

This building is very old, unsafe and noisy. Needs to be fully renovated and soundproofed. The room we booked was a deluxe jacuzzi with pool access from verandah. You can get into pool that is 2.4 metres deep but there’s no stairs to get you out. For a young spruce fit person no worries but for an over 35+ and someone with hip problems or similar this is a definite health and safety issue. The bed was the most uncomfortable bed we had , after traveling for. Month staying in dozens of beds in different accomodations. Seriously bad. And the noise from other rooms and the city below every night from 5 pm till 6 am it’s just so loud it’s impossible to sleep. Yes close to everything, walking distance, across the road from main beach. But if your over 30 don’t do it. We stayed for 1 night paid for 5 and checked out and went elsewhere for 4 days. Much better beds in 5 ⭐️

Everything was good.

Not as expected. Bedding not fully changed when requested, room dated.
