Run down, empty retail shops, limited staff and bad decor. But for
such a cheap rate, clean sheets and new towels are all you really
need. Don t take your girlfriend, but for a weekend with the guys,
a-ok. |

This hotel looks impressive from a distance - do not be fooled!! The
room we stayed in was awful, it was old and smelled like mould - as
if the windows had never been opened and air never let in!! The building
was like an old college / university building with small cramped dirty
dorm rooms. We were so disgusted that we slept on our own blankets
on the bed as we did not want to touch anything - we did not even
shower or wash the next morning as the towels that the hotel provided
were old, wet and smelly!! We will never ever stay here again. The
next day we moved to The Nice Hotel across from Montana which was
awesome (staff were superb and hotel clean and welcoming)and we also
stayed at Pechnamuang Guesthouse (next door to Nice Hotel) which was
brand new, clean and rooms huge - only 1100 baht per night. |

The hotel is quite big and located in the south part of Patong beach
at 5-10 minutes walk from the beach. The hotel needs a complete lifting.
The corridor are quite dirty and the rooms would need new furniture.
The floors and windows have probably never been cleaned... The surprise
was that the hotel has quite a nice swimming pool... |

my room on 0815 ( triple room) was okay and big, nevertheless it is
quite expensive for room rate at THB 2290 without breakfast and without
other services such as bell boy etc. pillow was not so good. There
is asign board indicating THB 1290 per night ????. Luckily the room
was painted, still need further renovation or refurbishment to regain
their past glory. certain floor still in bad shape, as you can see
empty room, broken glass and also 14 floor may not be ideal as witness
many charm on the room door. The building managment must take action
to renovate and take effort to change the negative comment by taxi
driver etc as they feed negative feedback when we told them we are
staying in Montana Hotel. my first impression on the hotel was bad,
after getting the suitable room i find it alright but expensive for
such service and room. no water heater/ jug for hot water for drinking.
bathtub water luckily warm, only 1 eceptionist to take care of quest.
I can get better room nearby with breakfast with additional THB 400
for 3 person.( total THB 2700). If the room rate for triple room is
within THB 1600-THB1800 during peak season i will consider staying
again. Non peak season rate should be THB 1100 - THb1300. |

The Montana Grand is a reasonably presented hotel in one of the side
streets a 5 minute walk from Patong Beach. At first the impression
from the hotel was as always when purchasing a room from the pictures
off the internet where is the one I booked however after settling
in and viewing price and relative distance to all amenities I found
this to be of exceptional value. The staff were courteous although
most lacked even basic English, hand signals ended up being the base
language for us. Lets face it however, once you have unpacked there
isn't too much you need to speak to them about, 1 laundry trip and
pizza one night was about it. The hotel itself is needing a facelift,
both internally and externally, the best presented place being the
foyer. The rooms had a late 80's de'cor about them however it seemed
to fit into the overall persona of the hotel. We visited the gym,
quite amusing to use that word to describe what was there however
once again it was a place we weren't going to visit. The guests that
were there at the same time were predominantly Aussie and we also
met Japanese tourists, Italians and a Swedish girl at the time we
were staying. Overall this hotel was acceptable and I would stay there
again in the same circumstances (as a boys trip) however would look
for something of higher quality if taking my partner. |

Montana Grand Phuket,Patong Beach Be frank , rooms a little old and
smelly . The staff are kind and helpful. Room does not provide complimentary
drinking water . It cost THB70 per bottle !! Anyway , hotel location
is pretty convenient. Just a few minutes walking distance to night
market, restaurants , pubs as well as to the famous Patong beach.

The room is simple. The water supply is salty. Do not enjoy good shower.
The drinking water is not for complimentary. No price list or menu
on these. |

Room smelt and was crawing with ants, got out of there as soon as
possible. Found a much cheaper and cleaner room just around the corner.
Would not recommend to others, didnt even see any other guests which
for a hotel its size says it all!!! |

Oh, what a mistake it was to book this hotel, I should have taken
all the readers comments and advice seriously. All I can say is: what
a dump. Really doesn t do Thailands tourism any good having crappy
hotels like this one. To cut a long story short, my major complaints
are: filthy bed linen, I assume I was sleeping on previously used
sheets, at least that s what they smelt and looked like, shower hose
didn t work, changed room and therefore didn t have any hot water.
obviously the Hotel does t have an inhouse maintainance service. Rooms
and bathrooms very poor to look at even had a giant cockroach in my
room. Swimming pool didn t look very clean either. I wonder why sawadee.com
has this hotel on offer???? |

Hotel is rather basic and a little worn and run down. However, staff
are very warm and pleasant, and location is pretty convenient. Only
about a five minute walk from Bangla, which is a good place for seafood
and pubs and shopping. One hint to future hotel guests. to get to
the beach the usual way is a roundabout, fifteen minute walk. Or just
cross the street to Patong Resort (pretend to look like a hotel guest
of Patong Resort) and you will find it a more direct five minute walk
to the beach. |
