“Very nice place close to the beach”

It's not a big star hotel, but with nice, quiet and comfortable location. 4-5 min to close beach Kalim, 10-15 to Patong(by feet, of course). Close by a lot of cafes and bars, 7/11 and chemistry. 2 bottle of water every day in the room, conditioner and tea, coffe

“short but pleasant stay away from bustle of Patong”

I was "banished" to Kalim resort because its parent (Graceland) was sold out for the 2 nights preceding my stay at Graceland.

I was "banished" to Kalim resort because its parent (Graceland) was sold out for the 2 nights preceding my stay at Graceland. I came to Kalim after a 20 h journey from CA, so needless to say I was exhausted upon arrival. It was after hours and the place looked pretty much deserted, but checkin was quick and easy (thank goodness!). A lot of that had to do with my local hosts, who made sure my reservations and transport were booked in advance. I was assigned a room on the 3rd floor, which turned out to be nice and roomy with a balcony view to the inner courtyard. There was nothing special or updated about the room itself, but it was clean and had plenty of amenities for my modest expectations. Staff were largely indifferent, but 1 or 2 of the receptionists were pleasant enough. Complimentary breakfast was buffet style combination of Thai and western food - again nothing special but entirely edible and sustaining. It was 1-2 blks in from the main coastal thoroughfare in a working class neighborhood, but I never felt threatened. In fact, one of the biggest charms to the place was the street food right along the main drag - purported to be mostly Halal with a nice variety. I ate well for $2-3 a meal - hard to beat that! Also, I can't confirm what my rate was, but in checking TA prices, Kalim resort is pretty much a steal for 25-30 US$ a night. 20 min walk to top of Patong Beach, not necessarily all of which had a real sidewalk. Beautiful rocky beach in between Kalim and Patong.
