Best hotels & accommodations in Phuket Town

A legit hotel highly recommended if you are staying in Phuket town. Location: Awesome, it is just 200m away from the old Phuket bus terminal where the airport bus stops. It is also within the walking distance to the famous old town streets - approx 10 mins of slow walk. Hotel: Clean, modern, arty, new. The superior room is large and has a balcony with ceiling fa...

This is my 2nd stay here after my 1st visit with friends since the last two years. Time flies but still being well-maintainance, clean, boutique, and lively hotel with great staff with friendly manner. It's still my recommended hotel in Phuket Town which is not far from few tourist attractions, 3 minutes from Central Shopping Mall and around 12-15 minutes from Phuke...

this hotel is new open hotel in phuket town. it is very modern style, different guests room will have different kinds of decoration. their logo is a blue monkey, the owner use the blue monkey design to make the key rings and the no.of the doors. it was very interested experience to stay at blue monkey.

We stayed in a Sala Pool Villa and Superior Sea View on separate days, and the facilities in both are fantastic. The pool villa has less privacy that I would have liked (next to a pathway, pool is next to entrance to room), but the view over the bay was truly fantastic! For the difference in price, we feel that the Sea View is adequate, though reaching the rooms is a...

This hotel is easily the best hotel in Phuket Town. Every day we had free snacks bought to our room, including a variety of fruit and even two freshly baked slices of cake from the hotel owners bakery down the road. This hotel is expensive for Phuket Town but would definitely recommend this hotel to anybody with a night or two to spare in Phuket Town.

We were looking for a place to sleep after our tiring day. We found this place while we were heading to Sapan Hin. At first sight I thought " Wow ! such a lovely place " and after we visited Sapan Hin, me and my family decided to stay at the hotel. I swear to god that you'll find no place like this in the same price. An Out door swimming pool on the top floor, a sky hi...

The hotel is located in Phuket Town which is good for shopping in small shops as well as big markets, Thai people around the area are very friendly to every one, the hotel is very close to different cafeterias and restaurants so that you can have your food either in the hotel or outside just by walking. The area is quite during the night which makes you more relax. The...

If you’re looking for the Sino-Portuguese architecture and authentic Phuket's cuisine so talked about in Phuket Town, you need look no further than The Tint at Phuket Town Hotel. I love the hotel because location is excellent. Next to the hotel is Limelight Avenue shopping mall where you can buy ready meals, snacks, and groceries at Tops supermarket from 06.00 am...

The hotel, apparently less than two years old, makes up for its lack of facilities (like swimming pool, gym, sauna) by its centrally location (especially for those visitors who prefer to stay & explore old Phuket town rather than the beaches), friendly & highly attentive staff, and very clean & well-maintained rooms & compounds! This is a family vacation (my parent...

Took some time to find Sino House Hotel because the shuttle bus from the airport dropped us off quite far from the hotel. Sino House turned out to be a very pleasant hotel: the reception staff were very welcoming, the rooms were large and modern with free wi-fi and everything was neat & clean in this small hotel. The hotel is opposite a big book shop close to the main ...

Slightly questionable on arrival as there was no main check in desk and we were taken out front to the side, when we entered there were signs saying ‘no tourists’. BUT apart from that... Our room was amazing, the pool was cool and had a lovely time! We rented bikes as it’s not really walking distance to Phuket town or the nearby markets otherwise would have needed taxi...

we really enjoyed our stay at sb living hotel. it had a completely separate building 20 feet away from the main hotel that contained a restaurant, karoake rooms, gym and rooftop restaurant. the rooftop restaurant had great food for great prices. it was a romantic dinner with a great view of the city. we would stay there again if staying in phuket town.

I was traveling to phuket town with my colleague. Its good dor overall. Clean room and clean toilet . It was too noisy at night from our neighbor room . Staffs are friendly and helpful even though they are weak in english but they were trying to make us understand what they were actually telling about . Thank you for the reception service and room service. Kap kun kap...

Good location with with excellent service. This is the new Poshtel in Phuket town. Close to the old town in phuket where is the most popular place with the historical tourist attraction. The room is clean. The swimming pool is pretty good. Overall was great with valued of money. I would recommend this hotel. tontarn_novio

Dara Hotel was perfect for my needs as it was close to my clinic I was going to, it had all the amenities I could dream of, great big comfortable rooms i could hang out in should i not want to venture out. It is literally accross the street from Central Festival Shopping Center. If ijn Phuket, you'll need a motorbike or car to get around and there is parking at the Hot...

If you want to escape the typical "Thailand Scene" prevalent down in Patong and experience the quieter simpler side of Phuket this is the place to stay. It is in the old "Phuket Town" which is about 30 minutes from the popular tourist beach areas like Patong. The oldest hotel in Phuket Town is almost completely refurbished (a few rooms still being completed it seems). ...

I have now been third time at baan Suwantawe. For me it is one of the best accomodation in Phuket Town! The staff is always very friendly and helps You where they can. There is a nice pool, where You can relax while waiting for Your flight or for pickup You for You next trip. Large comfortable rooms with balcony or terrace (groundfloor rooms) and it is just a 3-5 minu...

we booked as superior kingbed, but there was only twin bed left. The staff was so nice offering us king bed delux, then we decided to stay more one night. we always try not to stay the same place if we need to ve in Phuket many days. But here we did as special case. We will be back for sure.

Really great stay for amazing value. Room (superior twin) was great, slept really well and the daily cleaning was perfect. The manager was particularly friendly and helpful (arranged a scooter for us with no hassle at all). The location might be a problem for anyone without a scooter, it’s a on a busy road leading into Phuket Town that’s about 10-15 mins on foot. For ...

Seems it is the best 3-4 star hotel in Phuket Town. It have 19/F and should be the landmark of Phuket Town, so you can find it easily. The breakfast is in 19/F cafe which offer standard breakfast and I really like the city + sea view. The swimming pool + gym is good too. I like the most is that the staff attitude. They will provide good advise and even help me to p...

We stayed at Royal P for 3 nights in a Triple Guest room. The room came with 1 king size bed and a(I would called) king single bed. The room was massive! We could fit another single bed in there if we wanted too. It has a small kitchen with a big refrigerator! It also had an induction cooker plate, with plates and cutlery, a sink and shower room adjacent to the kitchen...

I spent 1 night in Phuket town,and the reason I chose this hotel cos it was close with the bus station. The staffs were very nice,and when I went to the bus station next day,they were very kind to help me and my daughter to go to the bus station. I appreciated

stayed one night before catching the ferry to PhiPhi. Room was clean, comfortable and spacious- had a pool access room. Staff were excellent and helped book me a ferry and transport for the next day. Close to shops and market. Had a very pleasant stay and would definitely recommend this motel if you are staying in Phuket Town. Booked and prepaid through Agoda with nil ...

You can have a very wonderful stay in this hotel! It is located in the suburbs of Phuket town, but that’s why it will be very easy for you to relax your soul! The hotel is very clean and has a very nice swimming pool. All of the staffs are very friendly, especially the boss, who drove us to the shopping mall by himself. In a word, it is more like your foreign “house” r...

The hotel situated in the heart of Phuket Town with full facilities. Parking spaces available for those who drives. The newly renovated Pearl Room is a perfect combination of modern and comfort. The staffs here are always exceptional, always smiling and helpful. The Rooftop Chinese restaurant is a must-try. Well-equipped meeting facilities. Will definitely revisit wh...

I loved this place. The common areas were exquisitely decorated with a multitude of modernly arranged antiques---just the sort of place in which to spend a lovely cocktail hour with fellow travelers and soak in the atmosphere. Some of the upper floors were still under construction when we arrived, but each of the rooms was decorated in a chic industrial style complete ...

I spent 3 wonderful nights at O'nya Phuket Hotel. The staffs are so nice. They are really polite and helpful. I booked a Supiror Room. The room was so beautiful, so clean, so big and so perfect! I love the design. (you can see your bed from the seethrough mirror from the bathroom lol) I had a delicious breakfast at The Avenue on my last day. I would love to go there ag...

I would highly recommend staying at Sino Imperial if you are planning to stay in Phuket Town. I decided to stay in Phuket Town to stay away from the tourist traps in Patong. If you decide to spend time there, a bus stop is very close to this hotel and takes you there in 30 minutes. The hotel itself is centrally located and a lot of very good restaurants and tour compan...

Had such a nice stay at this hostel and would definitely go back there if I return to Phuket Town. The staff was really accommodating, breakfast (coffee, tea, toast, butter, jam and either some eggs, rice dish or vegetables) was good, everything was clean and in a good condition, the pool is small but perfect for a little swim on a hot day in the town and there's also ...

I stayed only one night in Rommanee Guesthouse to enjoy the old town's life and my choice has turned out to be the greatest. The ladies at guesthouse were very helpful and nice from the beginning to the end of my journey in Phuket town. They even helped me take my luggage upstair and back to downstair. When I asked about the taxi transfer to the airport, a young lady w...
Cheapest hotels in Phuket Town

i have been to thailand for about 17 previous times in the last 12 years (mostly in bangkok) and stayed in 4 different accommodations in phuket. i choose lub sbuy for its location: near the bus terminal in phuket town. we travelled by train from and to bangkok, but the train only stop at surat thani and from there you need to take a bus to get to phuket. lub sbuy i...

we found a newest hostel in phuket town area, ai phuket hostel, located near thalang road, the staffs are very friendly. the hostel is very clean, cheap, modern. we are really liked the design in the bedroom, they have the different ceiling of each room. the hostel located in very good location. quiet and i feel more relaxing. the oppersite is the local food center "lo...

The room very clean with ensuite shower for sharing of 4 beds, most of the room are same size. Recommend to book room with air-con because there is no window. Staff was friendly and continental breakfast included for self service. There is no car patk if you bring a car you have park on the road. Location great just few minutes to market and shopping area in phuket tow...

Cheap simple place. Bunks of 4 beds per dorms, which were partitioned. Not a lot of privacy. The partitions do not lock and slide open/close. Bring your own toiletries. Toilets sometimes flood, and 2 of the 8 showers were also flooded at the time. Can get busy downstairs as person serving/preparing food + drinks is also the person who does all the hotel admin work - to...

From the incredible staff to the modern digs this hostel has everything you need. Centrally located in Phuket Town, Feel Good Hostel was perfect. My girlfriend and I had a reservation booked ahead of time and had to push it back twice because of unforseen circumstances. Jenny at the front desk (and owner) was more then willing to accommodate our requests and make sure...

I like my stay here because of the style and the vibe. The staffs are helpful, attentive, and friendly. They emptied the trash bins like every hour. They are tidy, always keep the place neat. Even though they could clean the fan in the common room, it's so dusty. You could book a tour with them too. They suggested me places to visit downtown. Try to visit Phuket Town ...

The hostel just a few steps to bus terminal 1. Local bus to Patong only 30baht and minivan only 50baht. Staff very helpful and friendly. No lift so u have to climb up to your room. My room at 4th floor 😂. Just a pit stop to visit Phuket town for 1 night. Will stay again if i come to Phuket.

This was the best hostel I have stayed in while traveling all around south east Asia. The rooms were clean, the beds were comfortable and strategically placed for maximum privacy. On top of that, there were privacy curtains, usb charging outlets, and a light for each form bed. Then bathrooms were clean and modern. There was breakfast every morning and 24 hour staff ser...

It's really cheap and valuable (i pay about 400฿ on private rooms) This hostel even have toast in morning for breakfast(it's free!) Location is quite good! Clean room But there's like a broken shower head but it's okay. I have read the reveiw before I book that across the hostel there is like a night-bar that making a noise at night. After I stay for night, for me ...

Amazing staff, so lovely and helpful. The place was super clean and quiet. It’s a great place to stay for a short stay in Phuket Town. We stayed in a dorm room and the room was spacious, lots of locker space, secure. Given a giant towel as a sheet, never seen that before in a hostel, but it did the trick. The showers were super clean too. Recommended!

The Staff was super nice, very helpful and spoke very good english. The rooms were small but comfy and very clean. The lobby and bathrooms were absolutely beautiful. Overall a very stylish hostel. It's pretty affordable and the location isn't really bad considering that you can reach everything by scooter or GRAB easily and cheap as well. Highly recommend the hostel if...

If you are in Phuket town am highly recommend you guys stay at this hostel.. room and surrounding is very clean and the workers are very kind, polite and full of smile.. also very helpful... not to forget the workers there also good in english.. easy to communicate

It's an great experience staying in 2W hostel. The owner of the hostel "May" was a very nice friendly guy, he make you feel like home and whenever you have question he is ready to answer it all and making sure you having great fun in the city. This hostel located right opposite Ocean shopping mall where theres lots of massages, clothing stores, cafes, night market etc....

This is the most instagramable hostel that I ever stay so far. I was attracted by the roof top swimming pool. Everything was good: friendly staffs, great environment, good location, affordable price. I enjoyed having sun bath here. However, there are two things that I will suggest to improve : 1. The floor of kitchen/dining area is always sticky and uncomfortable. 2...

Baan Baan Hostel has a really nice staff. One of the owners brought us to night market and was super fun. The location is not too bad, it is a walking distance to Phuket Town. It is 25 minutes away from Bus Station. Quite far away from beaches... you will spend at least one hour to get the closest beach in Phuket. If you are looking for parties, the beach area is plent...

We weren't expecting such kind of satisfactory place to stay for 2 days considering the money we paid. We paid for S$54.00 for 2 nights and we were quite hesitant about the cleanliness and the safety. On the actual day of our first check in, we were more than satisfied. The location was actually advantage to us because we had a krabi tour from phuket at that time. So t...

I stayed 3 nights, 2 of them I was alone in the room. Phuket town is cheaper and you can go to the beach by bus. The room was clean and nice, we had out own bathroom, big mirror in the room (I already forgot how I look like). I liked the details in the hotel, and the mini "living room" at my floor. The staff was nice and helpful. My net didn't work some of the time, ...

The hostel itself is very basic: no 5 star hotel but does it work for a world travellers. Room is basic and convenient. Nothing "bad" to say - everything works. Shared shower is small but it works, so does the toilet. Very cheap. Remember that this location is in Phuket Town, not by the beach with the loud and drunk tourists. Therefore it suits for travellers better. ...

I arrived late to phuket, they picked me from the airport so i could check in late, room is basic and clean, tho there is no mosquito net on the window.. they gave me ride to the ferry the next day also which was really nice tho there was some misunderstanding of the departure time. Staff is so friendly and helpful and they want to help you any way they can. :)

Upon arriving at the Grand Supicha we are greatly disappointed, as we were expecting a 4 star hotel, and it really looks like a 2 or 3 star hotel. The entrance is on a street, and it is not gated. It is sided by very average surroundings, and the hotel itself does not have any wow factor to look at from the outside. The foyer is very basic, and not at all "grand" as...

i did choose this little budget hotel beacause i needed a one night hotel in phuket town before continuing to the beaches of phuket. the hotel is located in the old town, so its in a nice neighbourhood where you can walk arround nice and easily. the room i had was very cheap, but surprisingly clean. i booked a fan room and i got more for the price than i expected...

The location is amazing. It doesn’t feel like Phuket. Surrounded by trees and birds. The room is simple but big and although the balconies are only accessible by the windows, they are spacious. The 25m pool on the roof is amazing. And to top everything the owner/managers are fantastic - super helpful and friendly. Highly recommend this place as somewhere to chill but c...

Situated in a quiet environment surrounded by residential houses. Hotel is clean and pleasant. Staff are helpful and prompt in service. Loved my room with pool access! On the downside, breakfast served is average and does not have much choice. Since the hotel is in phuket town, you may have to spend quite a sum of money to travel to patong area unless you have your o...

I spent a night in phuket town to take a bus to La Ngu(very close to Pakbara pier where you can take ferry or speedboat to Ko Lipe) next day. So I found this hotel cos I could see that the hotel was very close to the bus terminal and it was really close. But it was quite amazing that I wasn't bothered by any noise from the terminal. The hotel is very clean and consid...

I and my friend, at fisrt time in Phuket, stayed here for business trip last week, their staffs were very friendly and very helpful with many suggestion of things to see and interesting places especially some local restaurants in Phuket Town you could drive from this nice place by 10-15 minutes. The room was not fancy but they are exceptionally clean and comfortable an...

The hotel seemed to cater for Coach Tours. This was a little discerning in the morning for breakfast the hotel staff could not cope with the amount of people descending at the same time. When we arrived for breakfast on the first morning at 7.30am the dining room was full it was difficult to find a table. When we arrived at the buffet, there were no plates or cups so ...

we stayed here for one night. good location if you want to be in phuket town. it's not near the beach. we knew this beforehand so it was perfect for us. the staff were lovely and check in was very fast. the room was really nice. very big and spacious!! lovely bathroom. we had our own acces to the pool which was really cool!! the food in the restaurant was lovely too. i...

This was our 3rd visits at this hotel but this time it was extremely disappointed, the room once arrived was not ready and disordered, the technician staff was so rude, no greetings, no answer of what we asked about television, so ignorance , luckily we only stay one night and never ever again!!!!!

Public areas and our room were cleaned every day to a high standard.If you know your way around Phuket and Chalong area this is an excellent hotel if you are prepared to hire a car or bike.Breakfast is acceptable although more suited to Chinese tastes .Pool area needs some attention as there were at times ,insufficient or damaged sunloungers.Staff are very friendly, ...

More about Phuket Town
The Old Town (Dibuk, Krabi and Thalang Roads) is lined with ornate shophouses and beautiful colonial Sino-Portuguese mansions built by Chinese tin barons over a century ago. Visitors exploring the area on foot can also take in a number of nearby Chinese shrines, such as Put Jaw and Jui Tui, near the fresh market.
A spectacular view of the city, jungle and sea, can be enjoyed from the top of Khao Rang, a hill on the city’s northwest edge. A couple of good restaurants are located here, and visitors can take in the view with a delicious meal. There are a number of diverse dining options throughout the city, and establishments cater to locals and expats, as opposed to tourists. Nightlife is similarly oriented towards locals.
There area has several department stores, and a number of boutiques and small galleries along Thalang, Yaowarat and Phang Nga roads selling antiques, ceramics and paintings. Phuket Night Bazaar also sells locally-made handicrafts, and a weekend market opposite Wat Naka has endless stalls with the cheapest of Thai souvenirs.
While the range of accommodation options is slightly limited, hotel rates in the city are less than near the beaches, and songthaews provide inexpensive access to the rest of the island. An abundance of motorcycle taxis and tuk-tuks also make getting around the city easy. Visitors can also catch a ferry from Rassada Pier to Koh Phi Phi, Rai Leh, or any of the surrounding islands.
