Planning to go Phuket in mid-Oct. Not yet decided the place to stay cos there are so many hotels, resorts to choose. :s22: Want to find out from any traveller that have been stayed in b4 and has recommendation so can make my decision easier.

Will be staying in Patong cos there is where the wide activities are.
1) budget. My budget is not more than $50 per night.
2) Location. Near jungceylon mall yet not near to the bustling nightlife so stay away from noise disturbance.
3) Parking. Considering car rental so free parking is a must.
4) Accommodation & service. What is the most and least you like in your stay.

Name the place u stayed and how is the weather condition in mid-Oct? Rain a lot? Your recommendation is really useful in making my decision easier. Thanks

50 per nite, single person per room. Preferably 3 stars, if higher stars accommodation is available then y not. Done some research, that price can get 3 stars stay but will prefer the place that will meet my points as mentioned below.

Still can remember the hotel name? I am looking at accommodation near junceylon mall. The price rate is within my budget and was the stay good? Was it noisy at nite? Dun want to disturb my sleep so can enjoy the next day activities.

20 mins walk is long and tired especially with the exhausted legs spending in the activities during the day. Thanks for the info, will check out the hotel names you mentioned. Is considering Hemingways Silk hotel before but hesitate after reading the poor reviews.

Find out the charges for taxi and tuk tuk are very expensive. Consider renting car but not worth it cos not spending every day there driving. Is advisable to book tour package at the hotel or elsewhere is offering cheaper rate? Tour package include transport transfer to and fro hotel so not wise to rent a car and not to drive at all. Got other alternative such as reliable local offering transport just for driving to the places we want at cheaper rate than taxi?
