Hillside hotel overgik alle vores forventninger. Servicen var i top og de er altid meget søde og hjælpsomme, hvis der var noget. Vi vil komme tilbage og kan stærkt anbefale det til alle der rejser til Phuket. Det ligger dejlig centralt, ca.10min gågang, til byen og strand. Det ligger dejligt for sig selv. Nok er der en vej ude foran, men det bemærker man ikke, når man er på værelset.

I had stayed in this hotel two years ago in winter time, when it was not in raining season like this. There were still cockroaches but the room was overall clean and very spacious.
This time we stayed during the raining season, The room gives moldy smell, and most of the beds had bed bugs. Cockroaches are still very active. Given the great first experience, I was a little disappointed for the stay this time.
The location is a bit far from the main city and the major malls. It took me 40 minutes to walk from the hotel to the shopping mall. There are tons of night market all over the Patong beach, and the closest one is about 5 minutes walk, which is pretty good.

Every time I am in Patong Beach I like to stay at Patong Hillside because the price is good, rooms are clean and the owner is really nice. She takes good care of her customers. However, my stay at Patong Hillside on August 2015 was a big disappointment. The bed sheets smells moldy and there were cockroaches crawling around the room. My friends also swore that there were bed buds and they were afraid to sleep under the sheets so we slept on top of the sheets with our own sheets and blankets. I don't know what happened to this place, but after this experience, I will not be staying there anymore.

The owners and staff at Hillside were very welcoming, friendly and helpful! They directed us to places, offer to help book/arrange tours, arranged transport to and from airport and even helped us in ordering midnight feed! There is always someone at the reception - 24/7. On Christmas, they even welcomed us to join their family dinner.
We stayed in a triple room - was very spacious and even had a little balcony which was handy for drying towels overnight. The room and bathroom was clean - got cleaned daily. Was given water bottles everyday which was great.
They also have a box of DVDs at the reception! Even though there was not a dvd player in our room, we watched the movies on a laptop.
Location is excellent! Only about 10-15 minutes walk from the beach. Could easily catch a tuk tuk on the road that Hillside is situated on. And there are many good places to eat near by!
There are also security cameras installed on every level which made us feel safe.
We were on a very tight budget for the trip, therefore when looking at where to stay, we were not looking for anything fancy and were not expecting much for what we paid for. Hillside is reasonably priced and was of good value!
Would definitely recommend this place and would stay here again.

I travel back in July 2011. The place has no breakfast but has free wifi.Less occupancy..not many rooms.Clean and spacious.I paid arond RM180 for a triple room.A little further away from the bangla road but with the motor rent we are doing just fine.
Do not expect a nice view/pool...But if u r looking for clean rooms,yes it is the place.

Nice place to stay with big rooms and good bathrooms. The place is quite far from the beach as well as the night life. But good value for money and the hotel staff are very helpful.

We arrived at Hillside absolutely exhausted from a day of travelling and received a lovely warm welcome from the lady on reception (Ping, if I remember correctly).

The rooms were large and extremely clean with good air conditioning.

There is also a small swimming pool but unfortunately it doesn't get much sun throughout the day.

It was the staff which made our stay here as they were beyond helpful and couldn't do enough for you - absolutely loved them and if we were to come back it would definitely be for them!

If you like Patong and are looking for good value accomodation then I would absolutely reccomend it.
