News in from Centara Hotels and Resorts the 108 room Centra Resort Patong which will open in November is now the Centra Ashlee Hotel Patong,

It's the same chain, just a different name though given the soon to debut Centara Grand in Karon and the existing Centara Sawaddi Patong.

As for taxi drivers, expect interesting guest arrivals given the similarity between names. Perhaps a numbering system could help?

Is Centra Centara's brand for budget hotel? In which specific area of Patong is this hotel located? A brand new hotel built from ground? Thank you.

Bill Barnett responds:
The Centra brand is described as an economy brand, with typically 100 rooms or more plus a single F&B outlet. More details are on the Centara website. Thanks for writing.
