Phuket Airport Hotel, Phuket

I wasn't impressed with this hotel. But it served it purpose as a stop over, between flights. The rooms where clean and tidy, but had trouble sleeping as the bed was uncomfortable. It was close to the airport, about 1km right of the terminal.

This hotel was decent enough for the cost. My husband and I spent one day/night there after 36hours of travel. A staff member picked us up from the airport, which was nice but not an outrageous expectation as the hotel was less than 5 minutes from the airport. The room was spotless and the grounds were okay. The pool was central, warm, and clean. Only two complaints about the room itself: 1) the shower felt a little third world. By this I mean, that the shower head is not separate from the other bathroom amenities. The entire floor of the bathroom is a drain. If you're an American, you will not like this. However, do be warned that if you plan on spending less than $50/night on accomodatation, this will be pretty standard. 2) The bed was, quite literally, the hardest bed, on which I have ever slept. The bed wasn't even a mattress; it was a set of boxsprings! The sort of distracts from the convienence of the location's proximity to the airport. Another distraction is that of the location. Close to the airport, but REALLY far from everything else. There's nothing near the hotel but a few make-shift restaurants. You might save a few bucks on the cab fare to other hotels in Patong or Kata, but you;ll make up for in ventures to anywhere. We went to Phuket Town-it was 500B and almost an hour's drive. My husband and I ended up staying only one night, and then relocating to a nicer hotel (better location too) in Patong Beach.

OK - so we stayed here for less than 8 hours. The only reason I booked this hotel is because it was cheap and I got into Phuket airport at 1am and did not want to travel at that time to my other hotel. So I would recommend this place ONLY if you were in the same circumstance.
