- close to the shops and food
- close to the bus stop
- very nice room
- lovely detail in the decorations
- aircon worked fantastic
- big shower - mosquitos (not that it was their fault, it's pretty much a problem in the SE Asia region) only had one night here, but wished i'd stayed longer. managed to walk around the streets after getting in at 7pm and find food and shops easily. bars (and karaoke bars) were all within walking distance. bus stop is pretty much one block down the road. will stay here again next time i visit phuket

Location, staff attitude, breakfast, general atmosphere. Our experience of this hotel was appauling. I booked an airport transfer through the hotel and then confirmed the transfer by phone and email. Upon arrival at 2300 hrs there was no car. We called the hotel, they simply did not care. Having waited at the airport for over an hour we made our own further arrangements. Upon arrival at the hotel the staff simply shrugged their shoulders and continued playing computer games. Had the transfer fiasco been a genuine mistake I would not have cared at all, however we were made to feel like our comfort was of absolutely no concern.
The hotel is located in a back alley amongst light industrial and commercial buildings. Perhaps this hotel would be adequate for business travellers but is a very rough landing for anyone looking to holiday in Phuket. We left the following morning after declining to eat the worst breakfast I have seen in many years.
Hotel Feature Tip : Just do not stay at this hotel.

location, room condition, staff performance i stayed in bhukita hotel for two days. it's located near at phuket town bus terminal.(5 min walking distance) so it's very convenient if you have a plan to leave phuket. the hotel room is clea. and staffs are kind. breakfast is simple but good enough. there was a noise due to the spa renovation. but not that annoying. but of course, can not use the spa. over all i satisfied this hotel.

Staffs are nice and friendly.
FREE WiFi, you should know there are NO FREE WiFi in Patong hotels.
Breakfast very good taste.
Room is clean and hot water is supplied.
Able to extend check-out time. Not near to nightlife areas.
No hair dryer. This hotel is located nearby Phuket Town Bus Terminal, you can board Airport Bus easily to Big C (Shopping Areas) and Phuket Airport. Easy to get food and snacks at the main road which just out of the hotel. Very quiet and clean. Worth for the pay. It is a good hotel for the people who comes for a short stay.

Price. Cleanliness. Friendly staff. No hot water to take shower one day. Affordable hotel in the city center. Friendly staff but don't book anything at the hotel. No hot water to take shower one day (we stayed there two nights). As I complained about that to the manager, they gave us a discount on the final bill. To get Phi Phi Island by boat, I suggest you look around the city center for the best deals. I am sure you will get a better price than making any reservation at the hotel front desk.

- Good location
- Clean and spacious room The hotel forgot to pick me up at the airport, and it's almost midnight! I've been waiting at the arrival gate for an hour and no one pick up the phone. Finally I decided to take the taxi to the hotel. When I reached there the staff said that they didn't have my taxi reservation So I showed them the taxi reservation email and they couldn't speak anymore. They upgraded me to the Deluxe room as a compensation.
All in all, this is an ok hotel in a very good location in Phuket Town. The breakfast was a bit boring, and the lobby was dark. But the room was ok.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : Nearby bus station to various cities in Bangkok is very useful if you continue exploring Thailand after Phuket.

It was close to the bank, outdoor food market and clothing expo. No computers available for internet. Not much around the hotel. The complimentary breakfast is a joke. Steamed eggs and some sliced deli ham. The room was big, but I was right next to some outdoor ventilation (Room #201). Don't stay in this room as it can be noisy at times. I think the sound comes from the kitchen. No computers available for internet. Yes, the hotel is located next to a bus station, but that's only helpful if you plan to take a bus to Bangkok, Krabi, etc. If you don't mind walking you can reach the downtown area after about 15 minutes. There are a few temples and stuff tucked away on some side streets so you'll have to hunt for them. Tuk tuk drivers will tell you they are not there (i.e. burnt down) and offer to take you somewhere far away. It's a lie.
Restaurant Tip : Plenty of good street food so plan on eating that for lunch and dinner. Leave the hotel and get on to Phang Na road. Go right one block then left for about 3-5 blocks. You'll see plenty of restaurants to choose from.

-Fairly new property
-Nice decor
-Flimsy hollow core door did not seem secure nor sound-proof
-Breakfast weirdness
-No amenities in bathroom This small fairly new boutique hotel is situated in a so-so neighborhood
It's quite new and the decor is chic
Front staff is not as polished as at other Thai hotels I've stayed at.
The door to our room was a very cheap,light hollow core type.
The room was nicely decorated and the bed was comfortable.
In the bathroom, the only amenity was a single liquid soap dispenser.
The hotel was only good value because we got a really good rate through Agoda.
The hotel and rooms were clean.
Breakfast was odd.....about 30 seconds after each guest sat down, a plate of fried egg and other items were plunked down in front of them.....without asking. This breakfast looked like it had been all pre-made and sitting under heat lamps for a while.....it almost looked plastic.
There was a cold buffet with some limited fruit and bread selections.
The hotel was fine for an overnight stop-over between the airport and the ferry.

Good location if you are riding the bus to or from Phuket or if you have a car. Clean comfortable room with nice decor. The free breakfast is terrible and hardly worth the trouble. Not near the beaches, if that is what you are here for. No bathtub and the shower makes the bathroom floor wet. This is a nice small hotel and a decent value. Forget about the breakfast though! The eggs and ham were served very cold, the coffee was barely drinkable, and flies covered the fruit. But other than that, this is a nice place to stay. The room was good, bed was comfortable, and the location next to the bus station is convenient if that is what you are using to come to or leave Phuket. But be warned that this is in Phuket Town, and no where near the beaches or resorts.

new, nice deco with modern touch, close to bus station no hot water supply, window facing back of building we stayed there in early April 09, overall is still ok except there's no hot water supply. We complained this to the housekeeping as well as front desk, they sent someone to check then informed us that the water is "warm" not hot, but will their technician to check. Personally I don't think the water is warm at all, it is freezing COLD !!! and it was raining that day, I can't enjoy a proper shower due to the water temperature. Until the next day when we checked out, the water is still COLD. I think probably there's nothing they can do, it seems to me that the water heater is undersize and therefore can't cope with the demand.
Travel tip : to save cost, you can take bus from the bus station (5 min walk) to airport. the journey will take you an hour and it costs you only 85bath per person compare to taxi which will cost you 550 to 600 bath.

we got to bhukitta in the evening and a nice lady welcomed us at the reception, we got the room in 5 minutes and it was a nice clean well equiped room, after a quiet night we woke up for breakfest which was served near the loby downstairs, a good rich breakfest, all and all a good hotel to stay at, for a short stay its perfect.
Restaurant Tip : try the local resturants around the area, cheap and yummy.

excellent location - 2 minutes from the bus station but quiet and out of the way.
Comfortable beds and spacious rooms. breakfast - Western food available but doubtful hygiene and no real alternative. Simple tea and toast would do! Less than two years old and excellently located, the Bhukitta Spa is a great oasis in Phuket Town. Get off the bus and don't go out on to the main street - go to the end of the lane and there it is, so very quiet and secure.
Pleasant staff, big airy room and beds and comforters to die for. Free water every day and mini bar not ridiculously priced. Lots of TV channels. Only problem is the breakfast - toast, tea and coffee fine but they insist on giving you eggs, salad and sausages which are all cold and you don't know how long they've been standing, so really have to leave it which is a waste.
not far to go out to find cheap food - out to the main road, turn right and fall into the first evening roadside restaurant which is really good.
Phuket Town is all about atmosphere and wandering, not much else for tourists and about an hour to the beaches, so stop here for a day or two before heading off and enjoy.

Nice clean hotel with friendly people and staff in the center of Phuket town. Perfect massage team! Busstation nearby, but we advice to organize your own transport. In the rooms at the 1 st floor at the front the windows can't open. No furniture. This has to be changed. Rooms at the back has no view. Cold shower. The baked eggs at the breakfast are prepared before needed and served cold. The name Spa is to much. The massage and treatment is OK but i can't call it a Spa.
It is preferred to take a room from the second floor and up at the front of the hotel. The 1 st floor at the front has no balcony and the windows can't open. The rooms at the back are smaller and have no view (view at a wall off a building). The bus station is very nearby, but the hotel is no resort. It is recommended to rent your own transportation for maximum freedom.

The hotel is well maintained and located near to an economy shopping bazaar, shopping complex and seafood roadside stall (walking distance 5-10 minutes). Very much recommended for those who are in budget trip but want some clean and comfortable place. The water heater function is a bit different from others, we only manage to find the right position for the water heater at the last day of stay. Need to be improve... suggest for those who go after this to check with the reception b4 u go bathroom. I really feel it is the best hotel for the same budget. Advice for those who wish to go patong or beach site everyday, do not pick city hotel because it cost you about 350baht to 600baht for traveling from city to patong beach.
Shopping Tip : Expo Bazaar nearby.

The hotel was clean and the staff were very helpful. There are a few clubs near by and can get a bit noisy from midnight to 2am. There is not much to do in the town! The hotel is well placed next to the bus station for the airport. It is clean and the staff are friendly. There was not really anything to do in the Town so we had to spend a lot of time over at Patong Beach. There are a couple of clubs very near by and the loud music can keep those light sleepers awake until early morning. There are a couple of nice places to eat but not any where really to have a drink which was a big shame.
Travel tip : If you are looking for a little bit of fun, you have to go to Patong Beach!
