Patong without overpaying: 14 3-star hotels right by the beach

Patong has more hotels than anywhere else in Phuket. Almost one in three calls itself beachfront. In reality, the water can be 50 meters away, or 500.

Patong Beach stretches for about 3 km along the west coast (according to the Tourism Authority of Thailand). Nearby is Bangla Road with its bars, plus shopping malls and night markets. That's why hotels fall into two groups: near the nightlife and away from it.

Below are 14 three-star hotels in Patong. For each one you'll find the distance to the beach, pool, and dining options. Rates change by season, so check them through the links before booking.

How to choose a 3-star hotel in Patong

💡 In short:

• First decide what matters more: a beach two minutes away and the nightlife of Bangla Road, or a quiet street away from it all.
• Check the distance on a map: in this selection, beachfront means up to a two-minute walk to the water, not "near the sea."
• Look at the pool, breakfast, and kids' facilities: at some hotels they're included, at others they cost extra.
• Patong Beach and infrastructure data: 09/2026, verified on the official Tourism Authority of Thailand website.

Below is each hotel with its distance to the beach, pool, and dining. The table lists all 14 options for quick comparison, so you can filter out what you don't need in a minute.

⁉️🤔 Frequently asked questions

How much does a night in a 3-star hotel in Patong cost?

Rates depend on the season and booking dates. In high season from December to March prices are higher, in low season from May to October they are lower. The exact amount for your dates will show up in the search link for each hotel. Breakfast is included in the price at some hotels and charged separately at others.

Which hotels are closest to the water?

The Royal Palm Beachfront Hotel is the closest, about a minute to the beach. Rayaburi Hotel Patong and Silver Resortel come next, a two-minute walk is enough. The Gallery Hotel sits 500 meters from the water, so it is no longer on the first line, even though the hotel is called a beach hotel.

Where is it quieter: near Bangla Road or away from it?

It is quieter away from Bangla Road. Holiday Inn Express Phuket Patong Beach Central and Poppa Palace Hotel sit in that area. Hotels right by the bar street put the nightlife directly under your windows, so they are chosen when quiet is not a priority.

Which hotels have a pool?

Almost all hotels in this selection have a pool. The Royal Palm Beachfront Hotel has a rooftop pool with a jacuzzi. Patong Pearl Hotel and Poppa Palace Hotel each have two pools, and Jang Resort has a pool with a decorative waterfall in the courtyard.

How do I get from Phuket airport to Patong?

Phuket Airport (HKT) is about 34 km from Patong hotels (according to the Holiday Inn Express website). The drive takes about an hour. There are three options: a taxi, a pre-booked transfer, or a rental car. At night a transfer is more convenient, you know the price in advance and do not have to look for a car at the exit.

In short: what to book

If you want the beach steps away, take The Royal Palm Beachfront Hotel or Rayaburi Hotel Patong. If quiet and a pool matter more, choose Holiday Inn Express or Poppa Palace Hotel. Families with children will like Patong Pearl Hotel and Poppa Palace Hotel with their kids' pool. Those looking for the lowest price will be fine with Red Planet Hotel Patong or The Gallery Hotel.
