Nicky’s is a good place and actually met him. The room itself I would give a 4 out of 5. Somewhat dark vibe in the room with wall color and tinted sliding glass doors. The bed was rock hard, I mean super firm and I like a firm mattress. But this one seemed on an another level hard. I had everything thing I needed there and was comfortable including a great ac, but it was weird to open my room with a paddle lock. The best part was the restaurant and the cool vibe. The room had the same vibe so you must be okay with seeing a lot of car and motorcycle parts. Would I stay here again, probably. It is a very unique place in patong.

Absolutely loved staying at Nicky's place. I felt like family there - and Nicky went out of his way to be a fantastic host.
Breakfast each day was outstanding.
The room was somehow very quiet seeing as how the busy streets of Patong were a mere feet away.
Bed was comfortable and bottled water was provided every day.
Would absolutely come back and stay even longer than the week I was there.
Only constructive feedback I would give is they need to be more responsive via their website form/Travelocity. I never got a reply from my two queries.
Other than that, perfect.

A Must to Stay Place for a Motorcycle Enthusiast

The theme of the hotel and attention to details in implementing the theme can’t be described. Most of all Nicky, the owner, is a people’s person. He likes to talk to everyone and his conversations have class. You can also get to see lots of antique bikes, huge statues of Buddha, and all kinds of artifacts. Many of the antique Buddha statues brought from India are claimed to be 50% gold, and they were so heavy that I couldn’t even move them, let alone list. I don’t know what the value all his collection would be, but guessing that they would be several hundreds millions of dollars.
Despite being extraordinarily impressive establishment, my room lacked some functionality - there’re no hooks or towel bars in the shower fo towel. Same thing goes about the lack of anything to hang towel next to the sink. The property doesn’t have elevators. The check in girl partially helped me when I had to get my luggage to the second floor, but while checking pout l hauled my luggage myself. These things explain why it lost a star.

Nice but would not stay again.

Very good concept which is very well thought through, however there are no chairs or tables outside of the rooms, we had to search for some plastic chairs & the pool is in a very poor state And requires some money spent on it quickly before someone is hurt on the missing tiles. As the rooms are positioned near some waste land mosquitoes are everywhere with no evidence of trying to control them, eg smoke coils or in room killers, add to this that the doors of the rooms are wide open when cleaning the rooms there are always mozzies in the room. Take fly spray, we did and still had many bites each.

I love nicky's the staff is great you wont find more friendly anywhere especially nicky himself. All I could say is it'd be nice if the pool was renovated its seen better days and the sink in my room had a slow leak in the counter other than that though the place is great. Food a bit pricey and not a fan of breaded chicken but most is good

Nice motel.. bike tours never happen..

The bar, restaurant and cleaners were great. The themed accomodation was good. The rooms had little security, a chain and lock on the outside was difficult to use, and inside only a chain that could be easily opened from outside. The room fans were like sleeping under a helicopter rotor with no slow settings. The main reason for my holiday was to take multiple motorcycle tours.. this did not happen, Kai the manager was full of excuses for reasons to not run the tours including, bike maintenance issues too the weather.. it was truely bike riding weather.. upon being challenged about the tours Kai became confrontational and made the stay uncomfortable. If you are looking for a themed motel, this is it.. if you want to ride or hire motorcycles.. go somewhere else.

Ok location but quite a few faults.

Location was good for me. Staff are friendly but check out wasn’t efficient and had to ask twice for my deposit back. The room is a good size but has a few issues. The door is secured by a chain only and leaves a gap where someone could lift the chain when you’re in the room!! The TV gets interference on all channels so is impossible to watch. The over-bed fan is great for quickly cooling the room but even on the lowest settting is too strong to have on more than 5 minutes. Overall the hotel concept is quirky and different (in a nice way) but the poor door security needs to be looked into.

Great atmosphere budget accomodation

The staff are great. We stayed for 5 nights so got to know all the staff. We ate at the bar the majority of meals as the food is good and convenient. Be aware the bar does get rowdy and is open to the road so is loud all the time. The rooms and pool area is surprisingly quiet set behind the bar.
Don't expect 5 star but it offers you everything you need. We left feeling like part of the family with hugs all round when we checked out. Don't say good bye say see you next time.

The bed was very comfortable and pillows were cleaned and it was made up daily with clean linen.
The breakfast U get free is the best variety and tasted yummy.
Al meals on the menu are really tasty and the area is clean as are all amenities.
The staff in bar and restaurant are friendly speak very well English.
We stay in many different accommodations and I would recommend Nicky’s Handlebar to anyone. It’s a feeling of safe and friendly environment along with reasonable rates for all you get and a handy area to stay. We will definitely stay again

Motorbike Themed Hotel

We thought it would be fun to stay in a motorbike themed hotel as our friend is into Harleys. The restaurant part is fine and the rooms were okay but a bit tired. The most dissapointing thing was the pool which was a disgrace, a lot of tiles were missing and it just didnt seem a very hygenic place to cool down. We were happy to check out.

It's a good place

The place is interesting with almost everything motorcycle-themed. The Internet connection was good and the pool was simple but nice. Breakfast was a choice of set options; I wasn't quite tired of it after four days but I know I'd look elsewhere for food pretty soon. The free beer upon arrival was a nice touch.

The room (201) got very hot anytime we were out. AC would only work with the card in the wall slot and, while that's not unusual, you would have to wait about ten minutes before the room was close to comfortable. There is a large, loud fan above the bed which would have been great if quieter and could have the swing function turned off. There is a motorcycle seat as the desk's only chair and it became very uncomfortable; it's a nice touch for the theme but I would have loved a regular chair.

Right across the street is a place where you can get an hour-long massage for 200 baht (this was in late April 2016). Hotel-arranged cab rides cost 800 baht but we took the 600 baht offer from a cabbie on the street. The big Jangceylon mall is about 12-15 minutes walk down the street from the hotel and the night dining area is just a minute away, both to the left when exiting.

Patong is much more expensive than I remember it being in 2008 but hotels are still oddly very cheap. Nicky's Handlebar is a good hotel for the price.

Pros - Staff was incredibly nice. Very helpful. Food was very good. Nice to have a good bar. On a main road so easy to find places.

Cons - bed, pillows were filthy. Some of the wooden stairs were damaged so could see easily someone getting hurt. The way you lock and unlock the doors were very inconvenient.
We had to move rooms because the fans did not work. That's not a good thing in Thailand.

Unique biker hotel

We stay forth time here. Have to say that we had some issues of unsafe lighting in the room - got electric shoke by the bed lighting. Pool lost many tiles and now remaining tiles are rasor sharp and cut our feets and hands. Concrete ground arounfd rooms and pool area start to break. I was told that was behalf construction nearby the hotel, but it shall be fixed.
Like also that staff clean rooms before early evening ... English speaking staff only available at looby. Joices of breakfast are limited - just a handful choices. Coffee taste could be better. One time the restaurant was closed without information to hotel guest and at night not accessible.

Nice theme hotel

overall, pleasant experience with Nicky's Handlebar. some pointers for future travellers,

1. suggest to avoid room 104 as the wifi connection in the room is very bad. almost as good as no wifi.
2. try to get room 112 (if possible) as the location of the room is located at a corner along the corridor. room 112 faces the pool directly as well. wifi connection in the room is perfect and extremely fast. we were upgraded to this room for 2 nights hence we are able to compare.
3. will recommend any thai food (eg. restaurant or cafe) over Nicky's inhouse restaurant. their restaurant is not exactly fantastic.

overall, nice ambiance. will recommend future travelers to this hotel.

I personally would not stay here again.

Not even a hello or welcome on arrival. The pool is an absolute state with mould growing on the few tiles that remained intact in the pool. The hotel staff barely looked at you and due to myself saying something about the rude welcome we seemed to get cold shoulder throughout our stay. The cleaning staff left their dirty hair brush full of hairs in our sink on one occasion. I would not stay here again nor recommend it to anyone.

I was recommended this hotel from a friend. Its more than a hotel, its a pub, hang out and meeting place for singles if you want. The rooms are large and very comfortable. Had my best sleeps here. Pool just outside the front door.
Good range of food and refreshments.
Just outside the main centre of Patong, leaving it quiet at night. Lots of tv's at bar with sports channels showing live football or any other event happening. Lots of choices to hire motor bikes. Harleys available. Watch the mechanics restore 1930's Harleys in the workshop till late into the night.

Me and wife stayed in the hotel for 3 days from 21st till 24th of May checkout. We had our breakfast on the 24th but was given a shock service on that morning. The male staff with both hands tattooed till his wrist gave us the most unwelcoming and intimidating look. He was so angry and his attitude scares us. He was rude and as politely asked him if we could have our complimentry breakfast, he answer us with a rude 'WHAT' When we pick our breakfast choice, he starred hard at us and we did not know what he wanted then he said again in a rude manner 'Drinks' . During our meal, we noticed he was rude to tourist who ask about the hotel.

Cool place

An interesting concept, Nicky's is a biker themed hippie hotel and you'll be wowed by the cool bikes, garage, display & deco of the place!
The room is very cool and looks every bit like a harley d enthusiast's kinda thing; cemented floors, unpolished walls, bike-seat chairs, even the keys & lock to your room resembles a garage's.
But it's really small at the same time, shower area & toilet's just behind the double bed, its like the living space of a caravan but bigger
The cemented floors give it an edge but it also feels \"dirty\" all the time if you know what I mean (I did spot a cockroach, just one)
Other than that, you've got all basic amenities, clean beds, nice pillows, chilly aircon, clean towels, shower gel.. Just no toothbrush & paste, bring your own!
Free breakfast includes a ala carte main order off the menu with juice and coffee/tea, you could choose from the American breakfast, Australian breakfast etc, have your eggs cooked in any style or go for the local traditional Thai breakfast (boiled rice with chicken I think?)
10 mins walk to bangla st @ patong!
