You can't beat the location of Absolute Bangla Suites. Step outside the hotel and you are right in the middle of the famous Patong entertainment district. Minutes to the beach, shopping & dining. My family of 4 had 2 studio suites, decorated in a modern Oriental decor of black, red & grey lacquers; king size bed, sofa, fully outfitted kitchen, dining table and adequate storage. Rooftop swimming pool with Jacuzzi & restaurant/bar. Pluses: great location, comfortable beds, high-end linen & towels, fast WiFi, good cable TV, large rooms, jacuzzi tub in bathroom, large cooked to order breakfasts. Minuses: daytime reception staff all business, not very friendly, room walls paper thin - could hear the conversations and movements of the people in the adjoining rooms, could not get the shower water temperature to balance - either too hot or too cold, bathroom design a little quirky - all glass wall separating the living area and bathroom - you had to draw a curtain for privacy thus blocking all light into the room, no Asian food on the cooked to order breakfast menu.
