Square One Hotel Patong

I stayed in Squareone in room 12 for 33 nights. This is what they call "Superior room" Lets start by saying that this is not the 4 Seasons. This is a 2 star budget hotel. Given that, this is probably one of the best 2 star hotels I have ever stayed at. Let's start from checking in. I arrived at hotel a bit earlier than 12 due to flights, but my room was ready and in 5 minutes I was shown in my room without any hussle. The room was big, had WIFI (although a bit spotty at times), a big bathroom with a shower. Room included 2 bottles of water and some free toiletries. There was also a small safe in the closet. Keep in mind the safe is good for documents, money, jewelry. Can't fit a laptop or tablet in there. According to the information mentioned next to the safe, only hotel manager can open the safe. No staff has access to it. Hotel also offered laundry service The hotel in general was very quiet and felt very safe. there are like 7-8 cameras on the main floor, and a few more in each floor. I never felt like anything bad could happen here. The stuff was very accomodating on my few requests. I asked for hot water couple of times, some garbage bags. Finally when i checked out, I had to stay a bit longer after check-out time (like 30-40 minutes). I had no issues with the hotel. There were a couple of things that could be better. But keep in mind these are more of nitpicks that real issues. I think that my most important issue was the the fridge was on when the hotel key card is inserted in the slot in the door. That means two bad things. First when you return to your room after a few hours, there is no cold water because the fridge has been off for server hours. Secondly, you can't have things that require constant refrigeration (like milk) because they will turn bad real quick. Rooms could have a water heater. That would make life much easier. Finally the other main issue that I had was with the air conditioning placement. The AC was pointing directly on the bed so it was not always feeling great when sleeping. Sometimes it was very cold, sometimes warm. All in all, these were minor grievances. The stay was great.

Square One hotel truly vaulable 2 star hotel. Staff are very polite& helpful. The room that I stayed has wonderful mountain view, super clean, enough space,TV functions well,big bathroom& small refrigerator. At lobby, there is a small swimming pool. Hotel is quite new with very clean space. The hotel is located on the quiet area of Patong. Walking to Patong beach takes 10 min. One bad point: WiFi is not stable. High recommened for budgeters
