We had a short stay here of 4 nights after island hoping. On arrival this hotel tucked away off a very busy, hustle bustle road. So very convenient for shops, food, massage ...infact everything! The hotel is lovely, we was greeted and made to feel instantly welcome from the friendly staff. We had a pool access room and it was lovely. Very quiet , calm and relaxing. Beds very comfy,there was a fridge with water. The breakfast was great, plenty of options for all nationalities. They cook fresh omelette and eggs for you. My husband managed to rustle up a rough version of a english breakfast, while i was happy to have have toast , cereal and croissant. We found the whole experience in this hotel lovely. They have a beautiful resident cat in the reception too, and the staff love their cat , which was heart warming to see. This hotel couldnt be anymore central, but once you walk off the busy street into the hotel area , its very calm and quiet. And a big plus its flat , no big hills to climb. Which im glad i did my research as some hotels in this area , are up extremely STEEP HILLS...this one isnt .... Highly recommended

Great hotel

A great looking hotel with nice pools. The staff were lovely, our room had a comfortable bed and was really clean. Kata Walking Street Market and Kata Night Market are a few minutes away along with lots of other shops so you have access to everything you need. Kata Beach and Karon Beach are both 10 minutes walk away so you can take your pick.

Very nice hotel....but in a very busy area.

I have a mixed review for this hotel.. The hotel it's self is very nice, it has a huge pool and pool access rooms( which we had and it was very nice) it was very quiet and chilled. Our room was very spacious too. The bed was huge and very comfortable. All the hotel staff was more than helpful and very welcoming. A really happy friendly front of house team we found. Nothing was to much trouble. The hotel is situated off a very busy street, and once you are in the hotel you would believe how hustle and bustle it was outside. Its very central to everything and about a 15min walk to the beach , on the way you pass many shops , bars , restaurants, markets , food sellers, massage parlours. Its eye opening as there is so much to take in..we found it was nicer to stroll down in the morning , less busy and calmer. If you want to be in the thick of it all then this hotel ticks all the boxes. What I wasn't so keen on was the smells , our room seemed to hold a drainage smell , and the pool towels , even when replaced and clean never smelt clean they also had a horrible smell to them? Walking down the street , you was met with fish stalls , food stalls , fruit stalls ect so mix this with hot humid heat ! I wasn't a fan . During our trip we stayed in several different hotels , in different areas of phuket rawai, au nang krabi ,kata , karon , and this is the only hotel and area i found to smell. Our daughter stayed 10 mins away in the sugar fashion apartments and it was fine there , so I think its just the location of this hotel is in a very busy spot. Thats all I wasn't so keen about and it didnt bother my husband at all. The hotel had a decent breakfast too. Yes it did cater more for the Thai and Chinese guests, but it also had omelette being freshly made, fried or scrambled eggs, streaky bacon, sometimes baked beans, cereals, toast, croissants, waffles, we really found it catered well. And we was in Thailand, we do not expect full on English breakfasts! So would i stay here again? Probably, but would maybe prefer to be further down the round nearer to the beach where the air was fresher..

Great hotel. Breakfast was good and better than most places we have been to in phuket. The pool area is quiet during the day, but busier at night. The staff were friendly and helpful. Overall, great value for the price.

Its a neat and clean property and well laid out. Staff are very good .. from reception to HK n at restaurants. Only downside I found was use of Massage facility - they did not offer d private room to begin with and were in a hurry to start. When I insisted on a seperate room, they realised the AC was not working there. They also did not offer the use of d Sauna before or after the massage. A third party therapist, most probably, came and expected me to try switching on the AC. Only my daughter ended up using the facility and even she was not happy with the experience. The other small flaw, was the restaurant staff did not allow a take away breakfast. When I spoke to d reception, they said we have to inform 1 day before.. strange.. as most hotels around d world, let u load ur bfast in boxes n also give u a take away coffee cup. Else the quality of food in restaurant n also room service was good. The Pool n d decor around reception area were the highlights. Good value for money.. if u dont mind some fellow tourist shouting around d pool in some strange language :)
