Only 10 minutes walk from the airport. Very helpful English owner who provides a free pick up service if you phone the hotel in advance. The hotel is in a less favourable area for a person travelling alone, although the lovely beach was only 15 mins walk away. I arrived at this hotel alone as I was meeting my friend from Australia the next day. The staff were very helpful and welcoming and my room was spacious and clean. The hotel is small and low rise and in an unexpected back street, next to a few local rustic shops and restaurants. However, I noticed that many people used it for just one night to be close to the airport and with the free ride to the airport door on your return, this is an excellent service.
Hotel Feature Tip : Phone the hotel in advance for a free transfer to the hotel which is only a few minutes away by car or 10 mins to walk. Also, they will take you back to the airport if you want to travel down to Karon Beach or other in a shared minibus. We paid 180 bahts each to go to Karon from the airport which was good value.

Very comfortable, quiet and peaceful hotel, friendly staff, 5 min. from airport I've been only one night in the hotel. It was a nice stay. The hotel is very quiet, no any noise from airport, one can feel like home, very friendly staff. Good swimming pool. Close to the nice sandy beach. Great place for having a rest after a long flight. Surely, would stay there again.

Quiet, close to the airport, nice pool Breakfast was boring. Dinner was good but relatively expensive. The hotel was very quiet when we were there. The rooms are situated round the pool (which we had to ourselves during our stay). Surprisingly little noise from the airport considering it is so close. Wish we had known about the free transfer from the airport - we were stung for a very expensive 5 minute taxi ride.

Has swimming pool and free transportation to/from the airport. Rooms were spartan & ugly, formerly white plastic chairs outside units were discolored grey & unsightly, landscaping was watered but otherwise not trimmed or cared for. Entire outside had an unkempt look about it. Had to lay a path of towels to the toilet in the cement floor bathroom as floor was soaking wet. Entire place was in a state of disrepair.
Travel tip : It's near the airport period

Close to the Phuket Airport. Interesting place. Very quiet. Internet was fast and free. I think some effort should be put into updating the bathrooms as this may not suit a lot of visitors. Overall it met my needs.

location to airport, restaurant, free airport drop off, free internet!!!! The Phuket Airport Hotel was much better than the first impression. It looked like a dumpy motel at first, but was nicer on the inside than the outside. Pool was small and clean (we saw them clean it), but we didn't go in it. We pnly stayed one night, arriving around 13:00. It's a bit of a walk to the beach, and the beach is fairly primitive with not many shops and restaurants. We had dinner at the hotel and it was one of our better meals in Thailand - a bit pricy though comparatively. Breakfast buffet was sufficient with toast, juices, Nescafe, yogurt, bananas. Bathroom wasn't grat -- no separate shower area, just a shower head next to the toilet with a concrete floor. For the price, the location, free internet, free airport drop off (2 mins away) and staff service make this a good choice. Would stya again for just 1 night if flying in/out of Phuket at odd times, but wouldn't say for the longer term.

Close to Airport, friendly staff, underestimated nearby town, relaxed atmosphere If you expect luxury, this isn't for you! The owner greeted us upon arrival and told us there had been a mix up in the bookings. So he organised another room from a hotel close by. He made sure we were looked after. The nearby town was an undiscovered beauty and it was great to get away from all the shenanigans of Patong after a few weeks. We organised this place for the convenience of getting to the airport early on time..We were picked up and dropped of and got smiles from woe to go.
Nightlife Tip : take stroll down the street of the nearby town and experience it without the massive crowds and enjoy Phuket for its proper beauty.

Rooms and pool very clean.
Can walk to the beach.
Good restaurant.
Free transport to the airport. Stayed here one night for an early morning flight. The rooms are very clean, the pool was nice and the atmosphere overall is very pleasant and relaxing. Restaurant on the premises served excellent food and no problem getting a free ride to the airport when needed. You can walk to the beach, which is a national park. The only drawback was thin walls so you could hear everything in the next room, however there are only 2 units per bungalow, so it's only coming from one side.

near location to the airport. The hotel is far to expensive compared to the standard. In the surroundings there are nothing to see. The toilet didn´t work either i our room.

- ideal location to the airport
- simple but comfortable rooms - not much choice for restaurants around the corner Spending 5 days on a boat around the Similans we were happy to be back on land and to have a warm shower. We still felt the waves ...

Nice atmosphere, cute, really near airport (which was convenient), free pickup from airport, OK rooms, clean, nice manager, very helpful, organized our transport to Phuket Pier and sorted us out with tickets and such. A little rundown at certain places, breakfast was pretty much non existing. All in all it was a very good stay, we stayed only for one night, but we are now on Koh Phi Phi and staying there for one more night on our way to Koh Samui. It was a very good hotel for a couple of nights. Would consider using it again.
Hotel Feature Tip : Very helpful staff!!!

Nice touches - free water, tea, coffee.
Free breakfast served 7am-7pm! Free internet.
Large room, large bathroom, shower doesn't look much but its really good, nice pool.
Free transfers to airport.
Collection of books. For the price there are no cons, its not a 5 star resort. Really pleased we decided to arrive in Phuket the night before our flight.
See pros to get a feel for some of the nice touches they offer.
Despite being very very close to the airport there is no noise from planes!
Maybe some street noise if you are in room closest to reception.
One amazing thing - most hotels in Thailand have no compulsory dinner on Xmas day - these guys did a free barbecue! Very cool.
Shopping Tip : If wanting a snack at Phuket airport use Thai Puff & pie before going through to departure lounge.

The only reason to use this hotel is the location close to the airport. The hotel is in bad shape, the maintenance is bad, the sewage is in bad condition, the water is leaking in the bathroom. The breakfast was rather poor.
The water in the pool was dirty.
Travel tip : The clean water in the ocean.

Expensive for what it is but as is so close to the airport and there are no other similar class hotels within a 20min drive, there aren't too many other options if you have an early flight.
