Aquarius Gay Guesthouse & Sauna

Fantastic guesthouse, wonderful staff. You arrive as a stranger and leave as a friend. Special requests, like the lobster dinner, are handled with great care. Thanks to the whole team!

A great guesthouse with super friendly and attentive staff. For breakfast, we had a delicious fried chicken and vegetable sandwich with a fried egg on top – thank you to the chef for his professionalism!

This Gay Guesthouse in the centre of Patong is great. The only negative is that it doesn't have a swimming pool. On days when you don't feel like doing much touristy stuff it would be nice to lounge by a pool. Saying that, there is a roof top jacuzzi available to guests if you pay for the use of the sauna next-door that is associated with Aquarius. Rooms are a good size with aircon and i was never kept awake by the markets or clubs close by. I was in room 307 which I would really recommend. Yes rooms could always be better but we only paid $100 as night t through Agoda. I think my room was a smoking room, but it did not have any smells at all so perhaps it's not. They are available so check when booking. Staff are great. The markets are literally right at the entrance as well as the main Gay massage street is the next street in one direction. I may or may not have used their services on several occasions 😜 . The next street in the other direction has the Gay clubs. The beach is about a 10 minute walk from Aquarius and there are so many great places to eat close by.

It wasn't a great experience, but it wasn't bad either; that's all I'll say. I can't comment on the rooms because I only went to the sauna. Considering it's in a very busy place, ideal for making a profit, the facilities are adequate in terms of infrastructure, in the broadest sense of the word. The smell is unpleasant in the steam sauna, but I think I went on a day when the system was broken. The dry sauna is for a maximum of three people. The floor of the steam sauna is uneven but not dangerous. The private rooms need updating, but they do the job. The sauna is very small overall. There's no free access to drinking water, unlike in most saunas in Thailand. But if you're looking for fun, you'll find it. I don't mean to be disparaging, but the sauna could be significantly improved with investment. Considering its location and the abundance of customers on this beach. The price is very affordable.

Aquarius Guesthouse is a fantastic place to stay in Patong. The staff are incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely helpful A big shout out to Paul and Chart who were always around to assist with questions and provided great local insights and the inside scoop on what to do and what to avoid. Initially, I was concerned by all the negative reviews, however on staying I can say the rooms were exactly as pictured on the website and the location is excellent. It's close to everything Patong has to offer while still feeling relaxed and easygoing. The atmosphere is laid back and casual, making it a great choice if you’re looking for a friendly place to stay where you'll be sure to make lots of new mates. As an added bonus was the no pressure guidance and ability to book day trips directly through reception. So long as you have realistic expectations of the property, its a great place to stay and I'll definitely be back.

We had a reservation and checked in Christmas Day and after seeing our room, which was nothing like the pictures on the web site, we then toured the facilities and found the entire place to be quite sleazy. The hot tub on the roof was filthy as were the lounge chairs and the sauna room was dark, dirty and seedy. It was far worse than a sleezy bath house—nothing like the photos depicted. We decided to leave immediately and booked new accommodations. I asked for a refund due to unrealistic depiction but got no response. If you like the area there is a nice hotel right across from them. I would not stay there under any circumstance.

Not what I expected from looking at the reviews and pictures. Very much a “pick up” place. Jacuzzi was cold and very cloudy water. Sauna was dark and quite “murky” - was anticipating a warmer, cozier place. Not my cup of tea, but maybe for others.

Lacated in the main area and really nice room..

Very friendly, welcoming and open. Staff does a great work and they serve a fabulous breakfast. Rooms clean and comfortable. Not too far away from Bangla Road and next to bars.

Simple but clean rooms with comfortable beds and quiet air conditioning. Superbly accommodating hosts and a welcoming bar.

I was a bit worried because of the reviews, but I stayed here for four nights and had a great time. Paul and the staff were very kind and welcoming. Don’t expect a brand-new 5-star hotel like some people who posted reviews and you will have a great time. The sauna was great to unwind after a day at the beach and the gym had everything I needed. Breakfast was solid too. Overall a great first stay at my first gay hotel.
