Extremely basic hotel, we had several rooms and all beds were very hard, the bathroom is tiny, shower isn’t separated so the whole floor gets wet when you shower, there are A LOT of older single men staying there. The location is good, it was pretty clean, the pool area was nice.

Friendly hotel
Friendly hotel a few blocks from Panong beach. Teo story building eith no elevator but staff assisted me to carry bag up stairs. Room was small, basically enough room to walk around the bed. Small bathroom.
Excellent breakfast. Has a nice bar where guests can hangout at.
Many people seemed to be repeat customers who knew the staff by name.
Area is very busy, lots of restaurants, bars and shopping. Hotel is about 2 blocks from all the mayhem so very quiet.

Stayed at the expat recently and can't say a bad word about it. The hotel is conveniently located in the heart of patong. Close enough to the nightlife that you can walk to it but is quiet so you can't hear any noise. The room met all our needs. The on site restaurant offers a good range of food and good prices. The on site bar offers a really good night out as there is always a mixture of guests and regulars to help you enjoy this. All staff were friendly and helpful. We were well looked after throughout our stay. I can't praise them enough. I do plan to return for a stay at the expat and recommend the hotel for anyone to stay in as there were solo travellers, couples and families there during my stay.

Great resort
Great resort to relax. Pool is exceptional clean and refreshing. Room has extra pillows which a major bonus. Don't turn shower all the way on if you want hot water. Half pressure and your fine. Restaurant in hotel has amazing food. Ate there a few times, every time was great. You can't ask for a better location.
Darren
Excellent as always.
Excellent location friendly and welcoming 3rd time here and will return again next time for longer hopefully.

Michael
Disappointed with Service and overall feeling
The pool site has an overall good feeling, a bit run down but still ok to enjoy.
Rooms are small, and AC wasn't working correctly. Rooms are old and run down.
Very disappointed with the service, especially from the front desk. Unfriendly, and not willing to listen. Even prepaid all my rooms, they wanted me to charge the double. They claimed that my credit card was not working. Check-out took me nearly 1.5h. Even they were running a scam, there was no sorry from their side. Traveled with a friend who booked over an other website and experienced exactly the same.
I would not recommend staying there.

Great spot, friendly staff, nice surroundings ! Good variety of Euro and Thai food from the restaurant. Great location.
Verified traveler
Very close to all the action. Bed super comfortable. Amazing pool. Massage staff and prices amazing. Front of house staff could be more customer focused. One particular staff member had her family staying at the hotel, her non disciplined son was running riot screaming punching guests, also pushing other small children in the pool whom couldn't swim. Instead of being corrected he was smiled at and thought it was a big game. Support staff having family visit as long as it's recognised there are other guests staying too.

Very convenient and a decent place to stay in Phuket. Close to Patong Beach
Jason
Great three star hotel.
This is not a five star hotel. It was great for what it was. They have a nice pool, a great bar, best massage place I have experienced on this trip, and very friendly staff.
I read other reviews where people felt they were being ripped off. That didn't happen to me at all. I will stay here again.

Good budget hotel
The Expat is where I usually stay in Patong as it’s very central,the rooms and bathrooms need a bit of updating.What’s bothering is there’s a lack of managerial presence as the staff tend to run the show,they party as much as some of the guests....think a bit more control is needed there

Great budget hotel right off the main drag and blocks from the beach. Room was basic but comfortable and clean. The staff were the ones who make the place worth returning!
scott
Hotels.com sucks at customer service!
Did not get the room we booked. Complained to hotels.com and front desk. Nobody seemed to care. We opted for the most expensive room available and got no promised balcony or Mountain View. We were shoved in a hole of a room where all the smoke from people who actually had pouches/balconies would fill the room
Verified traveler
Expat hotel as name says it all. Great for short or long term stays. Good bed and linen which was suprising given age of hotel. Good aircon more importantly a good guard who was always awake and often walked the grounds at night. Good fairly priced food and coffee. Location says not really children friendly but seeing all the guest would not hesitate to have children there. Minus being lady friendly. Lol. It was popular with many returning guest. If I go back I would be one. Not a resort but a solid structure with a nice pool.
Bosco
Basic hotel, good location. No frills, staff were pleasant. Room could do with and upgrade. Hotel OK for 1-2 nights, anything longer and I would look for somewhere else.

Great place to stay
Very friendly venue. Nice staff, good food and convenient location.
Beds are hard and rooms could do with a facelift but clean and still a good place to stay.
Friendly bar and good massage and pool area.

Going a bit downhill
Stayed at the Expat a few times and this time was given a room on the upper floor which had no hot shower etc.The staff tend to party quite a bit which does make you wonder who’s in control- on checking out was presented with a 2500 baht bill for drinks added to my room despite always paying cash.Eventually this was sorted out.Still a great central hotel but will consider elsewhere also depending on price.

I liked it.
I had a great time at the Expat.Friendly staff,a good bar at reasonable prices.Wonder swimming pool.Spotless rooms.Good water pressure.WiFi worked fine.Hope to go back one day.

Over 40’s bro town don’t stay if under 30.
Ok so I’ll start with the positives - the location of the hotel is outstanding just around the corner from Bangla Rd legit 1.5 minute walk.Pretty quiet so you don’t get noise from Bangla only music that plays at the sports bar which is cut off by 12pm.The hotel has two seperate bars with live sports for each and the cost of drinks is very good and reasonable 80b beers and 100b local rums.The food is also good and well priced.The ladies working the bar are bubbly and sociable and always have a smile on there face and do there best to ensure you are comfortable and well served.The pool is small but relative for the size of the hotel.The room itself has a comfortable enough bed a ceiling fan and good air con. They clean the room daily and do a good job.
Negatives. The bathroom can smell a little and the shower is one of those ones with an in room water heater which isn’t great for temp control or high water pressure. I had a billing issue where myself and a good bloke I met were double charged for rounds - after raising the issue the senior lady (she is an absolute gem) sorted it out for me and fixed the bar tab.I came back for another night though and paid only cash but on check out they bit me up for 260b on things I paid as my taxi was waiting - I didn’t really have the time to argue the point so just paid. The laundry lady is a disgrace 1.3kg she said it was 1.5kg and refused to wash my clothes because I saw she overcharge. big argument at reception young lady was no help.

I have stayed at The Expat a few times now and i love it there.Great breakfast available,everything on the menu i have tried i found very good especially the Thai food.It's not a new Hotel,but everything works fine.Fantastic staff,great pool,clean rooms,air con works,ceiling fans to.5 minute walk to Bangla Road or enjoy a few drinks at the Expat Bar.Good prices at the Expat Bar to.Pool comp on friday night,a lot of fun to enter or just watch.For the price i think it's really value for your money.No extra charge if you choose to take some company back with you.The pool is plenty big enough for the size of the Hotel.About 8 foot deep at the deep end to.I'll go back there again next time i am in Patong.I'm a very satisified customer,thanks Expat.

Bad experience
Dear Hotels.com Team,
This is with great disappointment that we write to you about denial of extra bed to our 3rd guest because of which we would have to sleep in great discomfort. Just at the time of check-in we were informed that extra bed would be charged 700THB despite full payments by one Ms. Aom. On the top of it your company has non refundable fee cancelation policy which effectively means that we are forced to stay at hotel.
There was no one to drop out luggage till the room. We have made payment for 3 guests whereas all the facilities provided are for 2 guests. Kindly provide us refund for 3rd guest immediately failing which we will be constrained to escalate. We have no option but to accept this bad hotel room without any support staff on as is where is condition for 3 guests while having facilities for only 2.
Kindly treat this as most important and prioritize

Great little hotel
2 nights and always a good place to stay in the action area of Patong. Far enough away to be quiet but close enough to walk

Very nice hotel, close to everything!
We were relocated to this hotel after a mess up with our original one and were happy with how quickly they checked us in. Nice rooms and great location (it's down a driveway so not so close to the noise). Overall great experience. We found a lot of older people choose to stay here and as we are young we got a lot of looks from the others staying there although this has nothing to do with the hotel, it made us feel a little uncomfortable.

Worth the stay
Great for the money and a1 position pretty quiet considering 3 min walk bangla rd

dated hotel, bathroom & tiny rooms
Could not wait to get out of there, dated bathroom which was small, room was tiny, bed was a rock, wi fi blackspots & even the mobile coverage faded in & out
Matt
Convenient location.
Older hotel well maintained and modernised. Great friendly staff and respectable meals and bar on site. Rooms lack available power points to charge phones/cameras but is only a minor inconvenience. I have stayed in many types of hotels good to bad and I would happily return.

We booked 4 nights then booked another 10.
Excellent location and the swimming pool area allows the Sun to shine through most of the day. Been coming to Phuket for years and this hotel for the price is the best value we have had..

Worth a second look..
Great staff, friendly fellow guests.. walking distance to most bars and beach

Great location
There needs to be some updating of the room facilities.

Expat staff very friendly/helpful.
There was an error with our initial checkin reservation but the hotel staff fixed this and on the second day we got a room upgrade. Thank you. Staff are very friendly and always trying to please/help. Thanks Expat. Our stay was great.

Positives first. Best coffee ever in Phuket. Breakfast very good with plenty of choice. Location excellent being a short walk to pretty much everything from shopping to the beach and all in between. Quiet at night. Pool clean and inviting. Staff very good
Downside was the ultra firmness of the bed and no Australian Football (AFL) in the sports (?) bar

Just Awful.
Arrived late up a walkway. Met by two sloppy ill informed hotel employees each over talking each other. Stumbled over no defined walkway to climb two flights of slippery stairs. To walk past full ashtrays and beer cans to back room no window, simply a hole. Hardest bed on the planet. Worn sheets blanket and towels. Condom packs prominently displayed at minibar. Dirty. Mouldy. And downright horrible. Trades on okka friendly. It's a pile of ill defined rubbish with dying fish in its dirty pond. Does any place get any worse at any price? No. Location good. But by that stage who cares?

Close to the party street and the beach
My overall impression of the hotel was a bit disappointing. The best thing this hotel has going for it is the location. It is far enough from the street to avoid all the noise yet right in the middle of all the action. The pool are is very nice. The bar is nice with a good happy hour from 6 to 8. Can't comment on the food as we never ate there. There seems to be a loyal following that stays at this hotel. And local expats come by regularly to use the pool. The hotel has good \"bones\".
The things we didn't care for was: You can feel the springs through the mattress. We had to hold the button on the water heater for the shower to get warm water. The television reception was not very good. And the most disappointing thing was the attitude of many of the people working there. My impression is that they have been working there for years and have a job for life and could take it or leave it if you stayed there or not. Or maybe its that we are not one of the locals or frequent visitors? There are some friendly welcoming people though.

I love staying at The Expat,i'm sure you will to.
Great place to stay,nice clean rooms,friendly helpful staff,it's the best value in Patong.Loved the pool,very clean and inviting.

Great for mature travelers that prefer smaller properties that treat you like family more than a guest. As always met other guests from around the globe in the restaraunt / bar area during the stay making my stay more enjoyable.

had a great time friendly people helpful staff

Unsatisfied
The rooms at the Expat hotel was horrendous - everything was dirty, from the bathroom to the sheets to the furniture. The door only had one easily-breakable lock so I felt unsafe the entire time.
I've stayed in hostels that were MUCH cleaner and for a better price/overall deal. I guess this hotel is an average option to stay at for location (right next to bars), but if you care about cleanliness at ALL, I would not choose this hotel.
