so much more than expected”
the album hotel has really set the standard for a 3 star hotel. it had everything i looked for in a hotel without the fanciful facilities of 4 or 5 star hotels at a price to die for. the staff at album are genuinely friendly and readily offers their help. the frontdesk receptionist used her own mobile phone to help us contact the tour operator when the shuttle pick-up was 20mins late. another instance was when she helped us liaise with an agent to change our taxi pick-up time. the rooms are of decent size but the sleep quality was good. the room had all the basic amenities needed. my only gripe was that some tv channels were blur due to the signal quality. the bathroom is also well ventilated and i managed to dry my washed clothes just by hanging them in the toilet. the buffet breakfast does not provide a lot of options but is definitely more than reasonable considering the price paid. breads, spreads, cheese, cereals, coffee, yogurt and fruits provided me with enough options to get through 4 days. location wise, it is 5 mins to the beach and 10-15mins walk to the nightlife. there is also a convenience store (family mart) just across the hotel. i hope the album continues to maintain this standard. i will definitely be staying here again on my next trip to patong. kudos to the staff at album hotel for making my trip a very enjoyable one!

Very good service staff especially Sor. Attentive ”
I am very impressed with the stay in The Album Hotel. I have been to Phuket Patong for more than 20 times over the years and have seen a tremendous drop of the service in Phuket.However, this trip to The Album Hotel is all well experienced. We were attend by Sor who speak very simple English but she is magnificent. There were some problem with our booking with Agoda and she patiently attended to us and resolved the whole problem. She is always smiling and greeted us warmly whenever we requested any help from her. The hotel design is very gipsy and modern. The room is spacious and very unique design. Clean and neatly set up eating area even though is not a big hotel.Only down side is during our 5 night stay in the hotel, 4 nights the lift at 1st floor lobby were down and we need to take our feet by the stair up to 2nd floor to catch the lift. The location is very convenient for those beach goer. Is only 5mins walking distance to the beach. The hotel provide a beach basket which include beach mat and towels which is another plus to us. There is whole day free serving of cookies, mixer drinks, cold water and milk in the fridge for us. We feel so pamper and relax staying here. Will definitely return again

Easy access to anything Phuket has to offer.”
The Album hotel is centrally located, as well as being within two blocks of the beach. There is a nearly unlimited amount of shopping, dining and nightlife within blocks of the hotel. The local people of Phuket are very friendly. The hotel can help arrange transportation to any destination, including the airport. The hotel is modern in design and is very well staffed and maintained. Patong Beach is highly developed, but remote beaches are not far away. There are ample restaurants that feature fresh seafood each day. I would highly recommend the Album Hotel, as well as Patong Beach.

Great boutique hotel in a convenient location”
I was there in mid-January 2010 during high season so many of the hotels were out of my price range. The Album came to around $84 Canadian per night which was a bit more than I intended to spend but compared to the hotel I stayed at down the street (which was dirty, old and smelly)for one night and I paid about $63 Canadian a night for that bad hotel. I think the Album is great value for money for the extra $21. It is located in a great location that's a close walk to the beach and nightlife. The hotel is designed with great modern touches. Concrete walls and floors, dark woods accenting the place. There are lots of cute old school toys that line the lobby. The lobby has a tiny patio and indoor eating area where you can get fresh fruit, cereals, yogurts, toast with margarine and jam, croissants, juices, coffee and tea during their complimentary breakfast. There's unlimited free bottled water for guests and fresh juices that you can pour yourself throughout the day. Also loved the little touches like providing a beach bag in your room that included a mat to lie on and free beach towels at the front desk. The rooms are very CLEAN and well designed. I'd say the mattress is one of the softer beds I've slept in but like most Asian beds, it's still on the firm side. There is also a small pool and deck on the rooftop if you're too lazy to take the 5 min walk to Patong Beach. And above all, the staff was so accommodating and friendly. I had to make a call to Agoda in Bangkok and one of them offered to make the call for free on their own mobile phone. Now that is beyond the call of duty. I would definitely book this place again.

The Album Hotel - Great bargain in the heart of th”
My family and I stayed 4 nights, June 9th - June 13th and enjoyed our stay very much. The Album hotel is a boutique hotel that's 5 min. from the beach or 5 min. to the shopping mall on foot, and walking street is only two blocks away. The room was a bit small but the comfy bed with high quality comforter, excellent AC, and large flat screen tv made up for that. The location is perfect, the staff are very nice and helpful. You get free bottled water, juice and a few choices for breakfast in the lobby. Also there is a small "plunge" pool on the roof and lounge chairs for sunning if you don't feel like going to the beach. I will definitely stay at the Album hotel on my next visit to Phuket.

Excellent - modern, comfortable, friendly staff!”
After escaping a beachfront hotel (avoid the beachfront - it is loud, touts are rude, old men are lewd, and the strip is utterly charmless), we stumbled across the album on Agoda. The Album is located in a comparatively quiet area of patong. The hotel itself is modern, the staff always greeted us with a smile, and there is a nice rooftop spa/pool that we could not use due to light rain, but in warmer weather would have been excellent. In addition to this, the hotel offers free tea, coffee, juice, water and biscuits - and the breakfast is great! A short walk to the beach and Bangla road - but far enough away to not keep you up all night.

Great Location”
The Album Hotel at Patong Beach in Phuket is a boutique hotel that is nicely located close enough to the nightlife. At the same time, it is far enough to be affordable for most travellers. Across the road are many street food stalls with lots of cheap and delicious food. Will stay here again if I am back in Patong Beach.

Good location, small but modern rooms”
A very enjoyable stay. The Album Hotel is very inconspicuous, located directly at the corner of two intersecting streets. The hotel itself is small, but very modern with appealing decoration. The booked room (classic) was a little minimalistic, but decorated in the same fashion as the rest of the hotel, and included all neccessities. Located about 80m from Patong Beach and around 200m from a large shopping mall, one can get around easily.

Very nice hotel and lovely people”
We stayed at the Album Hotel at Patong for 7 nights from Feb 6th. We stayed in a classic room as we required two single beds (mother and child). The room was very small, but it was clean and comfortable. Unfortunately, there is a bar right across the road which created quite a bit of noise. However just about everywhere in Patong has a "bar across the road" so this was to be expected. The staff were wonderful - so friendly and helpful.

Slow paced backed with wonderful service.”
The album hotel is a small beautiful hotel perfect for first-timer couple in Phuket. Located at a strategic location close to beach central mall of Junceylon. Surrounding the Album Hotel are many food places like Subway, 7-eleven and money changer. Each room theme is minimalistic beauty but they are well-equipped with all the facilities needed.

Pleasant Little Surprise!”
We chose The Album because of its intriguing concept and good reviews on the Net. After getting off of the PhiPhi Cruiser, we got a bit worried as nobody seemed to know where the hotel was. Once we got there, it was immediately obvious that this hotel would be perfect for our short stay on Patong. The room is quite small but very well-appointed (nice bed, LCD TV, DVD Player, good toiletries, etc.). The hotel is not located in the center of Patong but is still very accessible to the beach area and food courts. The availability of water and juice and snacks at lobby for free made the hotel seem even more homey. It would definitely be nice to stay at The Album again next time!

great service”
First time to Phuket and had my stay at The Album, the hotel was really simple yet comfy. The service was excellent. They offered to keep our stuffs in the staff room after we checked out on the last day to phi phi island that morning and the staff provides us a room to clean and change our self aftermath before we leave for airport. Last but not least, the hotel room was situated at the right position and it's clean and spacious :)

Best hotel ever stayed for it's value. ”
this is the 3rd time i’m re-writing this review as agoda website will just log you off and everything you wrote is gone. being someone who travel often (~5 times a month) for interest or for work, i often stay in backpacker lodges, tea houses and 5 stars hotel, i have to say this place is fantastic for its value. it’s by far the best i stayed. location is great with only 5 mins walk to the beach. lots of good food nearby. it’s situated in the middle of patong and you can help almost everything you want within walking distance. rooms are very clean, well put up making it a efficient and cosy place. it’s relatively spacious. every things are in good working condition. since hotel is very new, about 1 year i guess. the bed is firm and comfortable with 4 pillows provided. there’s also a balcony chair, electronic safe box, a beach mat and carrier basket for our conveniences to the beach. i realised staff are not fussy about upgrading you to a better room when they see rooms available. for your 2nd check in after phi phi island, we got the standard room but it’s not much different. both check in was 11am and they never mention a word and give us the room. towels were readily offer when they see us going to the beach and to a kayaking trip. attitude of the staff and service standard are amazing. the best part is they provide us a room at the ground floor to shower and sort out our packing after a kayaking trip before we head to the airport back home. breakfast is mainly continental. simple but definitely sufficient. if you come down early enough, about 7-8am, you will see 2 huge fruit basket for our breakfast too. it’s a shame to say there are quite a number who took so much and let everything go to waste. the only cons is the shower curtain. when you on the shower, somehow it create a pressure difference sucking in the very light shower curtain. then it stick to you even though the shower area is quite big and i spend the whole time fighting to ke

Great stay in Phuket”
We had a very nice stay at The Album hotel in Phuket over Christmas 2010. The staff spoke good English and they were very helpful. The rooms are a bit small but they are lovely decorated and come with very nice balconies. Free movie rental is available on the site as well. About 10-15 min walk to Bangla. 5 min walk to the beach.

Fab location”
we spent 4 nights at album hotel. the location is fabulous as the bars/beach are within a short walking distance away. there are restaurants and shops on the same road as the hotel. the rooms can be noisy due to the busy traffic, although we got used to it after the first night. the hotel also has free internet and tea/coffee/soft drinks available which we found very welcoming. we liked the beach bag containing a beach mat which you will find in your room for your use during your stay. this was a lovely touch.

Just what you need ”
Album Hotel is a stunning little place, just enough facilities to use for those who are rarely in their hotel rooms. Clean and good service with a basic snack breakfast daily (if you normally eat a big breakfast this might not be enough). beautiful rooftop pool with amazing views of Patong. A must for those who need a place to stay for 4 - 5 days. Within walking distance of everything! Perfect for young couples travelling or solo travelers. Lovely and very accommodating staff! Missing Phuket already!

Good location to beach and Patong center”
The location is good, 5 min walking to the beach and 8 min walking to bar street of Patong. Rooms are clean with pretty fast internet. There is one more Album(Album loft) in Patong, this one is new, so most of the tutu driver dont know this one even it is on the main street of Patong.
