FunDee Boutique Hotel - Kathu

Good budget choice, bathrooms a little dated, good lobby and clean hotel

Genuine Expedia guest review

This hotel was pretty horrible. We pre-paid for two nights and only stayed one. As soon as we saw the room we starting searching for other options. The "helpful" staff must have been off duty during our stay. The kids that checked us in seemed nice enough but had trouble speaking and understanding English. And we literally had to bang on the desk to […] wake up the guy to check us out. The in-room safe was broken. The shower had mold and there was no curtain so the water went all over the bathroom. The bed had broken springs. The walk to the beach was a bit far but if you want to get off the main drag it is not a bad walk. We spent two weeks traveling around Thailand and this was the worst hotel the whole trip. It was the only place we stayed in Patong beach, however, so I cannot compare to other hotels within a few miles. We stayed on Phuket but found another area outside Patong to stay for the rest of our stay on the island. Read more

This place is a small little 3 star, a little tough to find. If you give the address to your mini-van driver from the airport, no problems. The room we got had a crummy air conditioner, but they immediately moved us to a better, larger room at once. Maria at the front desk was a doll, and we chatted with her and got got great tips on the area. Patong […] is a frat house wonderland, not the greatest place to stay unless you like to party. It has become an over-priced, annoying tourist trap in general. BUT, we used as a base, rented a great scooter from the hotel for 10 bucks a day, and cruised to Karon Beach to the South, which is a bit quieter, and also to Laem Sing beach to the North, past Kamala town. THAT beach is the best in Phuket, and once you find it, you will be glad you hassled the hike down to this private cove. Shhhhh its a secret! Anyhow, this is a 3 star hotel, which means the shower has no enclosure in the bathroom, only one room key per couple and no room service, but its a good value in this wacky tourist trap town.

Stay was pretty good. No real complaints. Had a small issue with the initial they gave me (the door to the balcony would not lock) but they quickly changed my room (was a lot bigger as well). The receptionists spoke English and were very helpful--suggested places to eat, activities to participate in, places to stay away from and gave advice on things […] Patong-related! Read more

I picked this hotel because I wanted a 3 star priced hotel that was conveniently located. The hotel was right at the top of Bangla road and gave easy access to the nightlife and the beach while being on one of the main roads that took you in and out of Patong. The rooms were clean and comfortable and the staff was really a pleasant surprise. Very friendly […] and very helpful. Arriving with 3 star expectations, I was pleasantly surprised by the room and service. Read more

The FunDee bills itself as a higher end boutique with personal service in a great location - but it isn't. The location, while OK, is pretty far from the beach and not quite in the "center of everything" in Patong. If you want to go explore the Patong nightlife and have an easy trip back to your hotel, there are many better options. It's also a hefty […] cab or tuk tuk ride to the nicer beaches at Kata or Karon which can take some time during (often) heavy traffic. Also, the hotel is down a small street away from the main drag so even if you have a balcony, you have a view of the building across the street. The hotel staff is probably the high point - they are extremely friendly, professional, and really want your stay to go well however there was just mishap after mishap. We arrived late on Sunday and there were multiple issues with the room. We reserved (and paid more for) a deluxe room but there was nothing deluxe about it. There was no balcony. No LCD TV. The shower cap wasn't secured and had to be held up as we showered. There was a roach on the floor of the shower when we arrived. The shower itself is part of the bathroom (not separated) so the entire room (toilet, sink etc.) gets soaked whenever you shower. There was no laptop safe. There were no extra towels or pillows ever during the whole time we stayed there. For what we paid, we were pretty disappointed. The swanky-ish lobby and attentive staff helped a little, but not enough to make us want to return. Read more

The best thing about this is that its in walking distance to the big nice mall and bangla road. There is not much but that.... There is no pool. The rooms are very basic. Hard bed. It was very clean though. Older bathrooms, but new granite counter top.

Hydrogen sulfide gas (sewer gas) wafting up stairwells through the open lobby so that when you open the door to your room it fills with gas. Very smelly and if you are sensitive to smells as I am then stay somewhere else. Also heavy construction during the days in November, 2011 so don't expect to sleep in with a hangover. Also, there was a plumbing […] issue during my stay that left us without a shower for about 24 hours. Read more

I took a chance and booked this hotel just based solely on the name and i got pretty lucky. I would stay again. The location is perfect. The rooms are spotless. You are within a 5-10 min walk of everything. Bangla rd, open air food market, the shopping mall, several dozen restaurants, thai boxing arena and even Patong beach(20 min walk). If you do book […] a room spend an extra few bucks and upgrade to a suite. I had the standard room and it was on the first floor which was very noisy. Read more

I stayed at Fundee for 7 nights with a friend of mine just recently. At first we thought it was a little out of the way but were pleasantly surprised to find that it was within close walking distance of Jungceylon and Bangla Road. The rooms are spacious, the staff are friendly and the owner George hangs around quite a bit and is very helpful with ideas/suggestions […] of what to do during the day around Phuket. You can also conveniently hire a Moped from the hotel for 300 baht a day as well as have your washing taken care of at 70 baht per kilo. And for the price, it's an absolute steal. Read more

the hotel is good overall on it's price. hotel staff are helpful. only one thing, there is only one type of rooms on website in this hotel, which is deluxe, but when we got there we were told if we wanted to upgrade our room to deluxe o luxury rooms(dont remember exactly how they call it), newly decorated, bigger and with better facilities; and we realized […] the pictures showed on web actually are these rooms, that was why we see our rooms different from the pictures on website. the hotel is very near to the biggest shopping mall in Phuket, there are lots of restaurants in it, you can get almost everything you need there. on the way to Patong beach, you will pass the most popular street in Patong. sometimes the bath water got cold when we took a shower. overall, the hotel is good for its value.

Myself and 3 mates stayed at the Fun Dee for 2 weeks during December. The staff were great and always able to help and cater to our every need whether it was to book a tour or with directions around town. Everything is so close, main shopping centre is literally a 2 minute walk, Bangla road (main street) 2 minute walk as well. The rooms are very well […] air conditioned (which is needed as it was hot in December), cleaned every day, and even free wifi in our rooms which some hotels didn't offer across the road and it's a great price too. If you are thinking about staying at the Fun Dee I recommend you do it. It's not somewhere to just lay around in a hotel, but when you do come back from your tours, shopping, partying, beach. It has all the necessities you need. Shower, bed, tv, aircon, wifi. Elias and his staff are top notch and when you leave you almost feel as part of the little fundee family. Planning my next trip for New Years and will be coming back with 10 people I rate it that much! Read more

The hotel is very conveniently located just minutes away from the entertainment district, and walkable to the beac. Staff was courteous enough, and the rooms were clean and fairly spacious. The only thing is that the didn't have coffee or tea making facility in the room itself. Recommended.

We stayed for only one night but was perfect for what we needed. Good hotel for price. Nice clean modern rooms, and just off the really busy mains roads. We would stay here again.

The customer service there was just beyond anything that i could have expected, the staff are so nice and polite and very helpful, the only problem i had was i stayed whilst they were undertaking some renovations so got a little noisy in the afternoon but never interrupted sleep, it was far enough from Bangala Rd that you couldn't hear the music but […] close and safe enough to walk alone and also a short walk to the shopping centers and anything you might need to see or buy Read more

The room was relatively large with a comfortable king-sized bed and a small balcony. Ancient 17 inch CRT TV had a poor picture, but who goes to Phuket to watch TV? Soundproofing between rooms was barely adequate. Rooms facing the alley had no cell phone reception and, of course, no view. Huge frosted glass window between bathroom and bedroom was unusual, […] but louvered bathroom door was definitely bad as it allowed odors and noise into the bedroom. Our request for extra pillows was ignored. The Philippino receptionist (really!) was very helpful and all the staff were friendly. Many power outlets for cell phone chargers, computers, etc... The hotel was about two blocks from the giant Jungceylon Shopping Center, three blocks from Bangla Road and five blocks from the beach, but to get to restaurants, tourism sights, etc.. , renting a motorcycle is worthwhile IF you are an experienced rider and stay sober. Overall, we thought the hotel was worth what we paid to stay there and would stay there again if we returned to Phuket. Read more

Very nice staff & not too far away from the main Bangla rd & Jungceylon mall. Scooter hire is cheap, and you can get around anywhere with it. Room spacious, clean and is cleaned daily. Only downside is the construction going on around but you will find there is still alot of construction just about everywhere.

Trip : 4th - 7th September 2012 It was an extremely pleasant stay. The staff are very polite, accomodating, helpful and can speak English very well. The rooms are simple but very clean and well maintained. comfortable beds with clean linens, air-con and in-room toilet with 24/7 hot shower. There's also free wifi in the rooms. But I'm not there to stay […] in the hotel and use the amenities anyway. Location is convenient with Jungceylon, Banzaan Fresh Market and Soi Bangla all within a short walking distance, but far enough so that it isn't too noisy from all the partying going on at night. Overall it's a fantastic place to stay for a no-frills, free and easy holiday experience. Would definitely recommend it to my friends. Cheers! Read more

We paid something like $35-40 per night. The best quality for its money. The staff are so friendly and they will help you with everything. The only dislike was the shower. It was combined with the toilet with no shower screen/shower box. The bed was huge, and the balcony was just enough to have a coffee and a smoke in the morning. The aircon was […] excellent gave me fantastic +16 in my room. they even organize the bike hire for your convenience. This hotel is lady friendly. AAA+ will return to this hotel next year. Read more

The place feels new and well maintained. The personnel are nice and helpful. The room was clean and nice. The hotel is close to Patong though not that close. It's not as noisy at night as being on the party scene so sleep was good. Free internet with their wifi and complimentary desktops. Will stay again.

In March I travelled back to Thailand for the second time, and went solo after having travelled previously with a group of mates in 2011. I first heard of FunDee through Expedia, and after reading quite a few glowing reviews and being pretty impressed by what I saw in the photos, I thought why not. And let me say, it turned out to be the best out of […] the 3 hotels I stayed in elsewhere during my time travelling around Thailand. Such was the level of my satisfaction I not only stayed there during my initial stay in Patong from 4th-8th March, but I also went back and stayed during the last few days of my trip during my return stay in Patong prior to heading home. First off, the staff at the front desk where VERY helpful. Not only that, but most importantly, they were quite friendly and really made you feel at home, and if you had any questions or queries they were only happy to help. Ended up having lengthy conversations with the guys and girls at the front, and were awesome people. Joe is one in particular that made my stay a joy. Awesome bloke! The rooms were very clean, and quite spacious. The bathroom was a nice size, and the shower worked like a charm. After room service had cleaned the room, everything was left spotless. I remember instances where they'd even folded up the pile of clothes i'd left on the floor! The aircon was very efficient and effective! 5 minute walk from Bangla as well! Can't recommend this hotel enough. Will be back here for sure! Cheers! :) Read more

My husband and I stayed at the FunDee Boutique Hotel for eleven nights in January 2012. We enjoyed our stay very much. The staff were pleasant and helpful and spoke very good English. The Hotel is in good condition and was much more than we expected for budget accommodation. The location is fantastic, very close to Junceylon Shopping Centre, Bangla […] Road, Patong Hospital and Patong Beach. I recommend this hotel for those looking for reasonably priced accommodation. The room was cleaned daily and the hotel laundry service was only 70 Baht per kilogram. The only issue that I had with this hotel was that the hot water did not always work for the shower. There were a few nights where we had to have cold showers. Read more

The Fun Dee Hotel appears a little out of the way of things when you first arrive but in reality is a short and very safe walk fom all the local must see sights. The Hotel is very modern and spotlessly clean. The rooms are the same standard and have all you need for your stay including a room safe. I have to say the most outstandiing aspect of my stay […] at the hotel,(four nights) was the initial welcome and continuing high level of attention from every member of the hotel staff enquiring as to my well being, any time,day or night. As a lone traveller and only four night to see the sights the staff were always happy to chat and help me make the most of my visit, on a friendly basis and not just doing their jobs. I don't usually see early mornings in Thailand (for obvious reasons)but one morning I went on an Adventure Day ,which included a Rope Slide, White Water Rafting, Quad Biking and other activities and was enjoyable and safe. I was very fortunate that two members of Fun Dee hotel staff (Mod the lady manager and Jackie another staff member ) also came along on the trip on a fact finding mission for themselves and the hotel We struck up an instant friendship and enjoyed all of the activities together......laughing and screamig !! I imagine other people on the trip must have thought we were old friends we had so much fun together. It will always be the highlight of my stay and I will never forget it or forget Mod or Jackie. The rest of the staff Joe Joe,Jo,Fern and Tanya I will not forget either. I also rented one of the hotel motor cycles which was in very good order and safe. I had minor problem on first night with a faulty aircon and as soon as i reported it next morning it was fixed. I ejoyed my stay at Fun Dee very much and after only four nights stay I felt quite emotional leaving such a special group of people that make the hotel a special place.Thank you all ! Read more

Fairly nice rooms and very friendly staff. A little noisy at night, out-dated interiors and not so pleasant environment near Patong beach. It's ok for budget travellers, but I wouldn't recommend in general.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

If you're looking for a good quality, small boutique hotel in the heart of Patong, then the Fundee will not disappoint. The Australian / Lebanese owner takes great care to ensure his guests are well looked after by employing well educated staff, all of whom speak good English and are attentive to your every need. The hotel itself is conveniently located […] near to the main shopping and entertainment centers but just far enough away to avoid the all night noise from the bars. It has been recently renovated..so everything works...and the decor is contemporary and modern. The hotel also provides a full range of additional services such as laundry, excursions, motorbike rental but be prepared to pay a little over the going rate of other local providers. Read more

ダイビングの時利用しました。パトンビーチの真ん中にあります。壁がやや薄いためか、わかりませんが、隣の部屋の音や外の騒がしさがダイレクトに伝わります。気にする方は町から遠いホテルの方がいいでしょう。スタッフの方は英語が通じて親切です。部屋は清潔ですが、不満をあげれば、セーフティボックスが壊れていた所、テレビはあまり映りがよくなかった所、ビーチが近いのにビーチタオルがなかった所、パジャマがなかった所です。よかった所はビーチも町も近い、スタッフが親切、コンセントの口が沢山あった、フリーWiFiであったという所です。全体的にはとても満足しています。

Fint og rent rom, med et helt ok baderom. Litt uheldig med ødelagt dusjfeste, men ellers fint. Dobbeltsengen var to enkeltsenger som gled litt fra hverandre under natten. Liten og fin balkong, men den vi hadde var inneklemt mellom to bygg, så ikke mye sol som kom til. Litt lytt fra gangen og inn til rommet. Grei beliggenhet og gangavstand til både Jungceylon […] shoppingsenter, Bangla road (partygaten) og et stort marked med billig mat og klær. Gangveien dit er litt skitten, trafikkert og har ikke fortau, så kan være greit å ta motorbike taxi dit man vil dra. Utenfor hotellet var det alltid både taxi og motorbike taxi, og flott med utleie av moped på hotellet. Betalte ca 5000 for 2 personer i 18 netter og fikk mye igjen for pengene. Fint med gratis wi-fi. Rene og fine lokaler. Read more

Först fick vi ett rum precis vid det lilla cafét som var extremt omysigt, högt i tak, steril belysning och det ekade så vi bad om att få byta rum och fick det.

Läget var helt okej, bara några minuters promenad […] från det stora köpcentret och Bangla road och ca 15 minuters promenad till stranden.
