This is a really nice budget hotel at the very end of rat-u-thid road parallel to patong beach. Last turn off on left on the one way road (rat-u-thid) and at the very end of that street – note it is not signposted on the road and no taxi drivers know it as it is reasonably new. It is very close to the Mercure hotel so when you see that you will know you are close (2nd left after Mercure).

It is about 15-20 minutes walk to the bangla road and the party centre and about 10 minutes to the beach. The pool is tiny but you are so close to the beach this does no matter.

There is aircon and safes in all rooms and the beds are comfortable although I did get badly bitten during the night two nights running in one of the rooms.

There is free wireless internet and TV. This is a small hotel but the sound proofing is very poor so if you have noisy neighbours you might have a problem but I was lucky enough other than one lady to liked to express her satisfaction quite loudly.

In the lobby area there are computers and vending machines and 24 hour security. Staff are friendly but get exasperated very easily. I am not sure if this is because of their poor understanding of English or their general attitude to clients. Whenever I walked by the desk and they were dealing with customers they would invariably put their eyes to heaven when the customer had left.

As an aside Patong beach is VERY COMMERCIALISED and you cannot walk 2 steps without being offered food, taxi, tuk-tuk, bike, sex, massage etc. The beach is very busy and the nightlife quite seedy. There are many quieter beaches etc a short taxi ride away and to hire a taxi for a whole day is not that expensive. I did a 3 day scuba diving course while I was there which is a lot cheaper than in other developed countries and most of them seem to be very professionally run (always look for a PADI course). I did mine with ScubaCat and had a really good and safe time.

We stayed at Sqare One Hotel for seven Nights from 2Nov- 9Nov this year . We're absolutely satisfied with this hotel , would like to share some important points with fellow travellers.

1. Location is quiet , 5-7 minutes walking from Patong Beach.
2. Our Suite was clean, big enough to stay comfortably, with DVD player in room.
3. Counter staffs are very friendly and helpful. They arranged private airport transfer at reasonable cost (700 THB PER WAY).
4. Lobby was small, with a small pool and two computer terminals for free internet surfing.
5. It doesn't have a restaurant. But there is one near by and entire patong area is full of restaurants and eating joints.

There is no elevator , this was more like a decent hostel with basic facilities and good rooms . Good for budget -concious travellers.
Overall our entire stay was very nice. We would like to come back again.

Desperately wanted to leave At Panta Phuket and found this little gem on wotif.com. Got a single standard room for only 650BHT.

Pros : Excellent location and fairly quiet. Free Wifi. In room Safe, TV.
There is a staff who can even speak a little mandarin. Friendly staff.

Cons : Floor's and sheets are not terribly clean but ok.

For 650BHT is really great value for money.

booked 2 nights and stayed for 5! we had been in Chiang Mai and Bangkok before Phuket, and didn't expect that Patong was going to offer the best value of the three places. we were really surprised by squareone - lovely deluxe room and a small pool. we even got free internet to catch up with everybody at home! if we come back this way we will stay again.

6/7 found this review helpful

I stayed in this hotel with my girlfriend for originally a week at the beginning of feb 07. When we arrived we were greeted by the manager and he personally carried our bags up stairs, he then said that we were upgraded to the suite for no extra charge (not really sure why, but we didnt care). the room had a fridge, dvd player tv, and seperate bedroom, it was all perfectly clean and everything worked as it should. There was also a safe in the wardrobe which came in very handy.

It is about a 5-10 min walk to the beach and about 15 mins to the main strip with all the bars . We decided to stay in phuket another two days rather than go back to Bangkok for our final nights in thailand and we could book our room for one night and then the receptionist rang another hostel down the road to see if we could book there for the final night. She even walked me down there to show me where it was and helped me get checked in. She even phoned up our airline with her own personal phone to sort out a problem we were having with changing our flights.

All in all a very friendly and helpful hostel, it was even fun trying to talk to the night porter (me in english and him in thai) when we came in at night.

I would highly recommend this hostel to anybody travelling on a budget.
