Overall: value for money budget bungalows/rooms.
Positives:
Central Patong, close to Beach.
Lots of greenery and therefore shade, especially around the pool.
In Room electronic safe.
Good size TV with various international channels.
Negatives:
Very poor lighting in room and balcony, therefore very difficult for reading at night.
Music noise from Bangla Road (no problem for party types but not recommended for early to bed types).
Restaurant neither here nor there (needs at least one strong visible theme e.g. Seafood, Steak Grill, Live Music etc).

Excellent location with tropical garden
by Robert from Austria (May 27, 2006)

Wonderful tropical garden with a hidden swimming pool 8 could be a little larger). Across the street there is the beach and 3 minutes to walk there is Bangalore Road. Also 1 minute to go, there is a supermarket to fill up the frigde.
Try to get Bungalows with number 24 to 34 - they are quiet - others could be noisy. In May I paid 1200 Bht - about 24€ for a bungalow for my self incl. good braekfast. If you take a girlfriend with you, you wouldn´t be charged extra. The girl has to show her ID-Card to the security for beeing safe. In another hotel I paid 800 Bht extra without breakfast.
There is also a private safe in your room, aircondition, fan, extra large bed and frigde.
Really wonderful place to stay, although you are in the center of Patong bach.

We had a double room on the second floor and found a comfortable room which was nicely furnished and clean. We got new beach towels every day. The hotel is infront of the beach, you just need to cross the street. The breakfast was rich and the food (Thai and European) in the restaurant is very recommendable, too.
I would stay there again. There is no better choice for the value of money!

I first here about this hotel from a co worker who live in Phuket.He suggest I stay there. The hotel is located literally in central Patong Beach. It is the first hotel off of Bangla rd. It is near all of patong Nightlife and across the street from the beach. It is a very clean hotel, as I often woak up late, I was able to have the staff clean my room up on demand until 3pm that day which was great. I would recommend this hotel to any and everyone who wants to be in the center of Patong beach.

Tropica Bungalow was a great hotel to stay in. It is located just across the street from the beach, and also right next to all the entertainment. At first we were worried that the noise would be unbearable but the rooms surprisingly blocked out a lot of noise. The rooms were nicely done, but somewhat dark. The bathroom was large and nice. The restaurant served great food and even offered us a discount. The t.v. had a variety of channels and the bed was comfortable. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Right in the middle of it all !!!!!!

Close to Soi Bangla. A bit noisy at night but you are only 15m. straight line from Bangla which understandably is a noisy part of town.
Only down side to Tropica Bungalows is that the TV in the room had been ´fixed´ so that the ´line in´ inputs on it did not function. In Singapore I would plug my little MP3 player into the TV so I could listen through the TV´s speaker without the need for my headphones. I don´t see why this funvtion has been deliberately ´disabled´. It works with hotels in Japan and Singapore so I don´t see why Tropica would disallow it......
Apart from that little annoyance - top place !!!

I´ve been staying here for the last 5 years (every time I visit Phuket). The atmosphere is relaxed, and the staff is friendly. It´s right across the street from the beach and right next to Bangla Road so the it´s easy to find, and in the cneter of most activities. I prefer the jungle-like bunglalow setting over lounge-by-the-pool resort hotels so for me, this is a better deal. The restaurant is OK but it does have one of the best Thom Kha Gai in Phuket. Definitely a thumbs up from me.

For a single guy it was really convinient, your right next to bangla rd (2mins walk) and the same time to the beach. The staff were really nice especially the cleaners. The room did smell a bit musty if all the doors and windows were closed but this was solved by having them open when you were there (pretty obvious).The restaurant is nice, brand new after the tsunami and the breakfast is adequate, dont expect a five star meal when your staying in a three star hotel. I paid 700 baht per night (low season) incl breakfast thats really good value for the location. The beds are rock hard, but so was every other bed in thailand I slept on so don´t let that phase you. If you do stay there try and get the side thats not on Bangla rd side as it can get a bit rowdy from 2pm onwards. But once your in the room you really can´t hear whats going on outside and so you shouldn´t, you should be too stuffed from all the partying and drinking cheap alcohol thats going on.
Overall a really nice hotel I would definatly stay there again. Two thumbs up :)

Just ONE problem Unfortunately

Overall:

Value for money:

Tropica Bungalow is really nice and one of the original hotels at Patong beach. Nice surrounds, lots of tropical vegetation, layout is great.

The one problem is the noise that comes from the street all through the night, or until about 3 or 4 am in the morning. It is near the main nightlife street and the pounding music kept me awake. Luckily I had on hand some silicone ear plugs, this saved the day for me, however, my partner does not like to use these earplugs...somehow, he managed to get to sleep.

It is a shame because all else is nice at Tropica Bungalow. If you want to stay there and are a light sleeper, just get some earplugs in case.

This place is THE best value hotel in the low season (I´ve been coming to Phuket for over 20years).Smack bang in the middle of Patong and directly opposite the beach. For Couples with children and other early risers ask for rooms 115 to 120 or rooms 215 to 220 these are the quietest rooms and you should have no problem sleeping over the din from Bangla Rd. Rooms have firm double beds with fan,air-con,hot/cold water, safety deposit box, sat tv, minibar and IDD telephone.Internet is available at reception. Full a-la-carte breakfast is include in the price. Lots of lush tropical plants around (complete with 3 little grey squirrels)and a newly renovated swimming pool. Given its location you can walk around everywhere without having to catch tuk-tuks, especially at night. Best value LOW season hotel!!

It´s a great place to be if you want to be in the night life centre of Phuket. If you are looking for a quiet place you better go somewhere else. The comfort of the beds can be compared to sleeping on concrete... :-)
But it is a great alsmost jungle-like resort at a few steps from the beach - what else does one need.

The hotel/resort is great - good location and convenient/accessible. Good Food, great staff. The only negative thing was the extreme noise from the pubs at Bangla Road - maybe he hotel should let people know that the rooms next to the Bangle Road experience lots of noise at night till 3 am. The other side of the resort is moew quiet. But then again - considering the price/value - it is really worth your money

Great location, at the end of Bangla Road near the beach, if you want to party this is the place to be! If you want early nights then the noise from Bangla is huge untill 3.30 am! The htel itself is a little run down but not too bad, There is not supposed to be an extra charge for unregistered guests at this hotel but I saw a guest charged for bringing a girl back! Food excellent but a bit expensive, I would stay here again but not for 1600 Baht, I think 1200 THB would be a more realistic price!
