We were on vacation at the end of November, 2024, for two weeks. I can recommend the Arita Hotel. Slightly tired of the interior. Cleaning was carried out regularly,
towels and bed linen smelled fresh. Location: near Malin Plaza Market, the best in Patong. The sea is 10 minutes away, the beach is 4, clean, located in a bay, without waves. The beaches of Kata and Karon are a 10-minute drive away, the sea is cleaner there, and a beautiful wave. There are plenty of cafes near the hotel, different cuisine, a Seven-Eleven convenience store. You can buy everything for a tourist. The hotel has a restaurant, Thai cuisine. Clean, tasty, neat. The restaurant's menu also includes Uzbek dishes. Pilaf, manti, shurpa, lagman, tortillas. Tired of Thai food, we were happy to try everything listed above. Dishes, just fire, I recommend. Uzbek guys, well done!
If you are not picky, then you will like the hotel.
The excellent location of the hotel is an important advantage, but not the only one. The rooms and the bed are large. the room has everything you need for a traveler's life, of course, furniture that has seen the sights and survived more than one generation of tourists, but it is sound and practical.
The room is clean, cleaning, water - everything is as it should be, the main thing is the view from the balcony almost to the sea, which is 7-8 minutes away if you walk at a calm pace.
There are several exchangers within walking distance, the market is literally across the street, and for those who are used to civilized food, Seven and Eleven are also across the street.
In general, the location is the best you can think of and, most importantly, relatively inexpensive.
And important for those who like to ride bikes - in the same building, just around the corner, if you leave the hotel to the left and walk between the buildings, then on the left there will be a rental point for 250 Baht per day with good equipment and a decent owner.
Yes, there is also a beautiful pool on the roof, which offers wonderful views and you can have dinner with a feeling, enjoying the beauties and music according to your mood.
A good, budget hotel, for unassuming tourists. Not a bad location. Close to the market, Patong beach, Bangla Road, and at the same time the rooms are relatively quiet. There is a nice pool on the roof.
