I had a great stay at the hotel , very clean and quiet especially at night, very close to the beach. There are good restaurants near by , closer to everything. Daily breakfast was ok . The lady at the reception was very helpful and suggests places to visit, she even goes an extra mile to assist. I also loved the Thai massages I got from their spa , very relaxing Thank you for a great stay. Swimming pool area very beautiful and clean everything . Thank you 🙏

Good clean hotel, local to walking road lively night activities but just removed enough to be quiet at night.
Rooms are basic but very clean with breakfast selection cooked to order.

These people work tirelessly to present the best side of what is an old hotel and they mostly succeed. I wonder when the electrician is coming to put the main light switch near the door. It's always a treasure hunt in the dark to find it. Best pub bar in phuket. Breakfast 3/10.

The location is excellent. It is very close to Bangla Rd but in a quiet alley. The swimming pool is nice, but the rooms are very old.
