Bel Aire Resort”

The Bel Aire resort is a nice place for the price. The location places it 2 blocks from the beach and about a 5 minute walk from the heart of the night life activity in Phuket. There are also several restaurants and beer bars that are in the resorts courtyard. This can be a plus, because you can walk right out your door and have the nightlife at your fingertips, but it proved to be more of a drawback because of the noise the beer bars create at night. If you are trying to have a peaceful rest, it is hard. The Bel Aire raps around the courtyard and the noise from the courtyard travels upward and is very loud. Another drawback was the amount of time it took for the hot water to heat up, but it was not a major problem that would prevent me from staying there again. The room was very large and comfortable and the staff was quite friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this hotel to the budget traveler who can deal with the noise at night from the courtyard (if you can't beat them, join them). You can't beat the price for the quality. If you are looking for a peaceful getaway, this is probably not the preferable spot for you. If you want a nice place near all the action, ready to hit the nightlife, and are on a budget, the Bel Aire is your spot.

great value for money ”

Very comfortable, clean and safe. I stayed as part of a big group on a budget holiday to sunbathe and party in Phuket, and Bel Aire was perfect in complementing this. It is perfect if you're going to be out for most of the day, as it's not exactly luxury. In saying that the rooms are in fact really nice and clean, and are cleaned every day, really well. Lobby wifi was great, and it's in such good location! Delicious cheap restaurant for any time of the day just across the road, and the beach is a 5minute walk. In addition markets are spotted all around, and the party area is a 5 minute walk too. Not too noisy on a night either! Prime Patong location, would stay again.

Good location and price, not breakfast”

Bel aire resort phuket have a good location and good price. Near from the beach, food stalls and stores. Below us there's a lot of bars, if you don't like the sound of open bars, ask for higher level (they got 5 to 6 floors up). Cleanliness is ok (clean but since the hotel is not new, they could have a re-model the furniture), good price for this quality. The breakfast is standard to poor, since the place is different building, we have go down and cross empty the bars, and not to many option to pick in the food section. The cook behind the omellete stall is not saying anything, and when we are picking the omellete he cook, he point to the hot stainless-steel plates infront of him with his cooking spoon, not so nice for me. Other than that, ok..

Comfortable Room, Ideally Located Hotel”

Located just behing Patong International Hospital, Bel Aire Hotel is within walking distance of just about everything in Patong Beach. The rooms are very nice & clean with professionally-tiled flooring. The showers have curtains. Better to eat breakfast elsewhere, however, as Bel Aire's price is ridiculously expensive. I'll probably stay there again on my next visit.

Neil's opinion”

Well my over all experience at Bel Aire was good. The rooms were very nice, clean and spacious just as shown in the photo's. The staff were friendly but not the best spoken english when using room service. The water was hot one day and hardly warm another. I was on the 5th floor and could still hear the noise from the bar huts down stairs, but I was on a drinking holiday so didn't bother me as the bar huts have to shut by 2am, the only other things that bothered me were, the swimming pool is not a pool but a large bath, no more than 8ft long and 4ft wide, same with the jacuzzi. They advertise that they have gym equipment which the dont. There is a gym down stairs but has nothing to do with the hotel, it cost 150 baht to use (equivilent to £3). the internet is free in the coffee shop if you by a drink, this is good but there are only 2 computers. Over all for the price the charge it is very good, I just wouldn't recommend to a family with kids or couple that were going try sleep before 2am. I wouldn't return as I have now learnt that the best thing to do when going to thailand is just get a flight and get the hotel when you get there. I stayed in Bel Aire for 8 nights the when I checked out I got another room, even nicer but smaller for 600 baht a night ( equivilent to £12 a night) this was brilliant. Remeber my experience was good here, I just learnt a better way to find accomadation. Hope this info helped you out.

great location and very spacious rooms”

bel aire is beautifully located with very spacious rooms which are airy and lots of sunlight.inspite of the huge rooms the air conditioning was excellent.the hotel is near 6 to 7 private bars on the ground level which makes the place very lively from 9pm onwards( a little noisy though,for those looking for a quiet time).the buffet breakfast served by the hotel was also very sumptious and had a good layout.

Right in the thick of it!”

The location is definitely the best part about Bel-Aire,the rooms are big but the cable TV is pretty poor,the least amount of English-speaking channels I think I've seen in Asia. As mentioned before it's very noisy due to the bars downstairs so if it's a restful holiday you're after,it's not for you.Saying that if you're going to Patong it's probably not for that anyway! A tip for people who like Thai food,just before Bangla Road on the right hand side is a restaurant called No.6 that is excellent and it's recommended in the Lonely Planet Guide. After travelling the North of Thailand,Chiang Mai and Udon the price of food in Patong can be a bit of a shock as it is a bit of a tourist trap. At least the beach is free! :-)

Bel Air - Good resort at great price”

Bel Air Resort, Phuket is a great hotel with spacious rooms at a very good price. The staff were courteous and very helpful. The hotel is at a very good location close to the Patong beach as well as close to the night life in Phuket. Overall a great experience in Phuket.

Nice hotel with spacious rooms at great location”

Bel Aire Patong has 3 buildings located side by side with hut-bars in front. Thus our nights were filled with loud thumping music & screams. The location is great (Bangla Rd, Patong Beach), rooms are spacious, hotel staffs are friendly, breakfast taste decent. The views are great from high-floor rooms. Nearby, there are lots of travel agencies, eateries, shopping areas, bars and massage parlours. Overall, great time staying there with friends but wouldn't recommend for family (esp. with kids) stay though.

Good expectations!”

The hotel is located 5-10 mins walking distance to Patong beach. There are shops all around the hotel which makes is easy to go around and try different restaurants and shops. Everything you need is close by, from pharmacies, food, money exchange, laundry...etc. The people are very friendly and room service is good. It is safe and there is also a safety box provided for extra safety too. The staff are welcoming and friendly and are always ready to help. I would definitely go back to Bel Aire Resort!!

good”

bel air is good. at first sight the hotel is like apartment.. but since we stay, we have a great time. the room is good, the bed is king sized.. the staff performance is less than expected. the breakfast is great..there are many choices we can choose. the location is good. just walk approx 15 minutes straight to patong beach. we will stay here again next time..

It was a memorable stay.”

I enjoyed my stay in Bel Aire Resort as a single person because the place is surrounded by shops and bars and there are plenty of things to see. I like it that it is five-minute walk to the beach and Jungceylon shopping centre. The rooms are spacious, so if you are sharing a room with someone it is really convenient. I would recommend this hotel to single people like me or to a group of young people because of its surroundings. I would not recommend this hotel though to anyone who has sleeping problems (specially if you stay in the block facing the bars and shops) as the surrounding bars are really noisy with music and people laughing and talking until early morning. The place is not also for families with young kids. However, being a single person, I must say that Bel Aire was a very good hotel if you are like me who can sleep even with lots of noise around.

Bel Aire - close to the action!”

Booked my latest stay in Phuket online and decided to try/check out Bel Aire. Besides the attractive and affordable price tag, the location was appealing as it's found within the heart of Patong beach; walking distance to the pubs, shopping and beach. Was pleasantly surprised when I checked in; besides the quick and hassle-free check-in, the staff were friendly and the rooms very big and spacious. Stayed there for 3 nights and would recommend this hotel to the single-travelling tourists and those looking for a value-for-money stay in Patong.

It Is conveniently located in Patong”

Generally the hotel is in a good location close to food, shopping & night life at Bangla Road. However we had a problem the 2nd day, when it poured through the previous night and the majority of Patong roads were flooded! We desperately needed to reach our van to take us for our PhiPhi Island tour. Being flooded, the van refused to enter the hotel lobby, and we were forced to wade through the flood water to the Patong Hospital behind Bel Aire to meet the van. We are always game for adventure and quite enjoyed the experience. On the other hand, things could have turned out bad. We could have gone through a pothole or broken drain cover, or worse, got electrocuted, seeing the cabled running down from the streetlight poles But one thing, I have to hand it to the local authorities. The next morning at about 3 or 4 am, there were 2 water tankers, with 3 men each washing the streets clean

Great location, rooms not the greatest.”

Bel Aire Hotel was a decent hotel for its price. The room was spacious enough and had good aircon altough it leaked water. The shower was nothing special just being a fixed shower head in a room with your toilet and sink. The bed was hard according to my patner but i sleep on anything so it didnt bother me in the slightest. No free wifi or access for wifi in room was a down side. Location is the big plus. If coming to Patong beach again i would seek another hotel in hope of finding a nicer hotel for the same price.

Great view and nice room”

During i and my family stay in Bel Aire was the good hotel, good interior and also very good view. From this resort we can see all Patong beach view. The staff also very nice talking. Great !!!

Good Hotel at Reasonable Price”

Generally, I love my stay in Bel Aire. The room is spacious, equips with safe. It has free jacuzzi service at rooftop (though close at 8pm). There are relatively cheap internet access, gym services and laundry services. There are street food & bars downstairs without the hustle bustle. Tour packages are bargain able (half the price advertised). Best price I got is near Patong Beach. Simon Carabet is a disappointment (though others mentioned that it is better at high season)

Bel-Aire Resort Convenience”

I have stayed at the Bel-Aire Resort numerous times due to its affordability, close proximity to Patong and shopping areas, and large spacious rooms. The hotel staff is friendly, and the breakfast buffet is good with hot and cold en trees. I would recommend this hotel to the budget traveler wanting walking distance access to Patong beach and plentiful shopping venues. Will definitely stay here again.

Superb hotel”

I stayed 3 nights at Bel Aire Resort. Breakfast was so-so. The room is big and comfortable. Motorbike rentals are just few metres away from the hotel, making it easy to move around the small town. Places like Jungceylong Mall, nightlife street and Patong beach are within walking distance. Overall, it worth the money.

Value for money”

We will be going back to Phuket in a few months and this hotel is definitely on our top 3 list to check in! The bars are not as bad as described by other reviews. Hot water is working properly and very hot in deed. Breakfast is great and the stuff has the usual Thai friendliness beside irritating guests. The omelettes were great, a must try! Shop and pharmacy in front of hotel. Clothes washing available downstairs The Thai massage in front of the hotel (at main road) was great! must try! negative to say IS the late check-out. we had an agreement to check-out by 3pm but received a call at 12:30pm to remind us to check out by 1pm. Arguing didn't help, we were asked to check out by 1pm. We had some nasty moscitos in the room, we could get rid off.
