AVOID AMBER RESIDENCE AT ALL COST. First impression: dirty & run down. The hotel workers are slow and lazy. None of TVs in the rooms work. Water starts & stops. Air Conditioning busted on second night. Couldn't sleep in the heat. They changed my room to another that had a box spring for a mattress. The springs dug into my tibs and back. Couldn't sleep again. Room safe hinge busted. Door handle falling off. The stairs to the rooms are steep. Garbage in hallway. Staff too lazy to clean rooms. Have to beg them to do it multipe times. Spoke with owner, Jean-Phillip on the last night. He said the mattress is just firm. I took him to my room, no.45. to show him. He pressed on the mattress and acknowleged it's just a box spring but didn't offer to do anything about it. The owner simply dismissed all the issues by proclaiming his hotel is the cheapest near Patong Beach. I told him if i knew air conditioning doesn't work and i have to sleep on.a box spring, i would never book the room. He shrugs and went back to his bottles of wine in the lobby. I filed multiple complaints with Expedia. As of now, no results nor resolution. Amber Residence is a fraud. The front desk photo on Expedia is fake. Amber and its staff are the singular worst nightmare of Patong Beach. Stay there at your own peril.

Wir waren nur für eine Nacht dort als wir in Thailand ankamen und das hat auch vollkommen gereicht. Die Klimaanlage war sehr laut, so dass man kaum schlafen konnte. Bei unserer Ankunft fragten wir wie der TV funktioniert. Die Antwort kurz und bündig: der ist kaputt. Das Frühstück war leider nicht gerade top, obwohl sich das Personal sehr Mühe gegeben hat einen Teller vorzubereiten.

At check in time, was told that reservation was cancelled by Expedia. After suggesting that we both call Expedia together, owner became cooperative, and "did me a favor". I got room 45. Balcony was 1 meter by 2 meters, faced wall of next building, that was 1 meter away. The room was noisy. Owner tried to blame next building, but inside wall was shaking. Some pump went off every 30-45 seconds with a thud. Slept 3 hours each night. Room looked modern. But owner is either playing games or just does not read his bookings too well.

Great choice!!!

We had a really pleasant stay at Amber residence! The owner named Oscar was an excellent Profesional and he did for us everything that was possible to make our vacations perfect! He helped us with everything even book taxis and island tours in really good prices! The breakfast wasn't fancy but it was really good. Also the Italian foods that they make to their restaurant is brilliant, we had lazagnia and I totally recommend if you stay there to taste it. Only two negatives : there was traffic noise in the night and they need to renew their towels. But these 2 things must not keep you away from booking there. It was totally worth it! Thank you Oscar for everything and hope to see you again!!!!

Gap > refrigerator > sofa > bed! Actually, they pass through the bed to other place, so just a few ants on the bed. 3. The door between two room didn't lock. I open the door saw someone sleeping in the next room ~_~""" I close and lock the door immediately. 4. The light in the room a bit dim Good: 1. Nice staff 2. Clean room 3. Cheap, really cheap 4.

katastrophale Organisation!!

4 Wochen im Voraus gebucht. Nach einer langen Anreise bin ich dort angekommen und es hat mich ein Italiener an der Rezeption empfangen. (sehr nett aber nur wenig englisch Kenntnisse) DAS HOTEL WAR AUSGEBUCHT KEINE ZIMMER VORHANDEN!!!??? Das Hotel hat mich dann nach langem diskutieren 10m weiter in ein anderes gesteckt (weis den Namen nicht mehr) - Zimmer sehr klein (abgestuft) - Sehr lautes Umfeld - Insekten im Zimmer - klapperndes Fenster die ganze Nacht - Morgens um 6 wurde auf dem Dach gehämmert. Ich habe mich trotzem entschieden dort eine Nacht zu übernachten, weil es schon Abends um 11war. Fazit: einfach nur schreklich!
