Why are there few reviews about the Calypso Patong 3 * hotel?
I read the description of the Calypso Patong 3 * hotel on 2 sites - in principle, not bad! How can you find out in what year it began to function? And at least some review of a tourist who stayed at this hotel !!

Look at the map, you will see that this is a small building at the back of the street. It looks like there is not even a pool, but the sea is not far there. In principle, if you look at the hotel only as a storage of clothes, it’s normal, close to all the entertainment.
There are no reviews for obvious reasons: this is the level of backpackers who do not need much comfort. And the reviews are left by people who have a rest in the hotel. By the way, because of the negative type "horror-horror!" neither, and in this case, even a complete loafer, somewhere would have tried to leave a review.

there are no reviews for the reason that no one really wants to go there - I can say from the analysis of reservations for more than a year: not a single major operator of reservations has ever had or does not have reservations there.

those with whom I work, at least =))))))

This is a brand new hotel, not even TripAdvisor has anything about it yet. From my own experience I can say that a new hotel in Thailand is VERY good! If you are satisfied with the location and description, I would go. And the fact that operators do not have it is only a plus!
аватар Lina23S
Yes, and operators may not have sales due to the fact that they earn little on a cheap hotel, so they are pushing something that is more expensive.

Do not be surprised, the same is not true for the DorShad4 * hotel, although the hotel itself is quiet and comfortable, though far from the city. Behind the Ambassador right away.

Dear Panchenko in vain looking for DorShad in Phuket, however!
I already thought that Ambassadors in Tae are a dime a dozen ...

I apologize! Dear Panchenko, in vain looking for Calypso in Pattaya, apparently ...

Hello!!! I rested in this hotel. It's brand new so no reviews. The hotel is SUPER for the money. In my opinion, the only negative is its location. Fourth street. But I had a bike and I was not interested in the remoteness of the hotel. Small but cool rooms, SONY LCD TV, Electrolux kettle. Everything is brand new. The girls at the entrance are smiling all the time, the bike was parked right next to them. I took the tour without breakfast, so I can’t say anything about food. There is a mini Tesco Lotus around the corner. Choose this hotel with confidence. Have a GREAT vacation!!!

Good evening everyone! THANK YOU, autobanja for your feedback. We are going to this hotel, we will fly out on December 19. Last time we rested in an expensive hotel in Phuket, we don’t need it, since we only come to the hotel to spend the night. Let's go, I'll write. We also always take a bike, we need a hotel purely for spending the night and storing things, we didn’t take food either.

Lucky ones!!! If you leave the hotel, turn right and walk for 8-9 minutes, then on the left there will be a small "shop", in my opinion, laundry and bike rental. They are not new, but reliable. I agreed for 1300 baht for 10 days for a red Yamaha. Very nice hosts there. At the end of the lease, they took me to Jang Ceylon and did not take any money. I recommend it. And expensive hotels are really useless. If you need bodies for excursions, I can give. Cool guy, Thai, but understands Russian well. We took excursions several times - they never deceived me and the prices are VERY cheap.

autobanja, thanks for your feedback, I’m also suffering, looking for information about the hotel, not yet ... departure on January 23, 2013, tell me, are the standard rooms good too? thanks.
аватар autobanja
I took a standard room, because there was no time to choose, and it doesn’t matter to me. The decision to travel to Tai was made on the day of departure. The girls from the Biblio Globus from Rostov made a confirmation of the hotel in an hour and .... forward, into the summer. Tour guy: 0867399202 Name is IP. Located in Patong. Feel free to call him, he will do everything and explain where he is more precisely. You can say that it was I who gave you the phone (Kostya from Ukraine). People told him so, it works. For example, he gave Similans for one day on a speedboat and with a Russian guide for 1800 baht, although the price was 3800 in the price list. Maybe now it will be more expensive, after all, the season. Khao Sok - 1600. Friends called, ordered a taxi from him, were satisfied. Much cheaper than a tuk tuk.

autobanja, and for comparison, did you use the services of other operators or tour agents? The fact is that the recommendation of one agency looks very one-sided. I will say right away that I have no personal interest - I do not sell excursions and do not earn money in this way. However, I could recommend agencies and people who have been tested by time and many people who have vacationed in Phuket. And one more thing - I live in Phuket, and I see how these people and agencies work "behind the scenes" of the travel industry. It is important that people not only seem honest, but also be honest. Do you agree?
So, for those who want high-quality, safe routes and good guides - buy from tour operators. But even that is not for everyone. I can only recommend Natalie Tours, Exotic Voyage, Coral Travel (Odeon) and Biblio Globus.
Agencies: Happy Tai (Alena), Moscow Tour (Diana), Andaman Pearl (Denis), Treasure Island (Polina).

Of course I agree. Tried other sellers of excursions. We stumbled upon this guy by accident, one Russian tourist advised. I took her advice skeptically, but my friends insisted and we talked with him, he gave interesting prices. But everyone was struck when he arrived at Karon at 6 am to see us off (7 people). I also traveled with tour operators in Pattaya. Everything is good, only more expensive. Very often the guides openly lie. Maybe I just came across these. In general, Thailand is a super country!!!!!
аватар Waldi
You are certainly right. Alas, many guides lie and consider this a normal practice. I partly understand their position, but it does not justify their manner of work, if only because the main task of the guide is to take care of the tourist, and not hang noodles on their ears. When a guide comes to see off his tourists at six in the morning - this leaves a very pleasant imprint, of course. No one, in fact, is interested in the reasons for his appearance (maybe he drove from a night party and decided to check if everything is in order). But the very fact of such a visit deserves respect. Of course, among the whole mass of tour sellers there are scammers and very good people. And from the bottom of my heart I want all our guests to come across only honest and kind people. Believe me, many Russians living here want to save the face of the nation and the face of Thailand in front of their compatriots. So, the honesty and decency of workers in the tourist industry is a very sensitive topic for us =)
All happiness! =))))))

Voronin 15! I really look forward to your return. Was the hotel comfortable? Is the beach good? What excursions did you like? We've been meeting since March 7th.
