Simsap Mansion, And Cheap Charlies

[kian]

Has anyone stayed in the private rooms at either of these places? Thanks

[hansgruber]

The names don't sound too appealing.

What's the room rate? 500 baht?

There are a couple of places on the right side going towards Rawai not far from Chalong Circle. I think they both have cheap fan rooms. One of them is behind Big One.

i always find it amusing that Mansion is Phuket for shit hole. i haven't noticed that anywhere else.

....or that a Villa just means a small house on a small bit of land with a small pool.

3500 a month what else could it be?

In Karon on the hill is a place, I think called Kanitas.

They have camping available, what are you thinking OP, just bring a tent

Hey, check out tripadiver.com and search for cheap charlies, that'll give you some insight into the place, for 9k i would have thought you could do better, although as the Thai's say "oh high season, price go up".

Yes i ve read the tripadvisor reports on Charlies, very mixed results, it seems people hated the dorms, but some liked the private rooms, because it's cheap, and in patong in high season, cheap is almost unheard of, the downside to staying in rawai, is the dangerous motorbike trip needed nightly to go out in patong, and come back again, a 40km roundtrip everytime I want to go out? That's not really what I want to do, so i think i have no choice but to stay in charlies, or equivalent if I can find a similar room for 8000, or 7000, i will take it. One option that just came up is here

Yes, if you want to go to Patong frequently you really have to stay there, and Rawai would be too far.

You could try this as it is just behind Jungceylon & so walking distance to much of Patong's nightlife http://patongphuketrooms.com/

Went to Cheap Charlies once - was served a half frozen and really ordinary pie, never been back. As for beds/rooms etc have no idea but if their accom. standard is reflected in their food then would not be for me!!!

Correct but take away the pool

Cheap Charlies is a backpacker place. You'll find better long stay options.

I stayed there last yr 2012 for 10 days.

I got cockroaches climbling out from the disused wall socket......after pushing in e luggages you can hardly walk.

However for that price in HK about $100 per nite for 4 pax and good location......not much complaints.

HK is a expensive place to play, spent about 6k 4pax in 10 days simple HK street food and minimal shopping.
