Everything was very perfect. Only thing is, some people come for **** and ************. This hotel downstairs is the restaurant but not normal restaurant, more like Bar. Not every night. Some night, you can hear people shouting when they are **** ******* ** ***** ****. Single girl cannot walk thru the ground where the bar is. Only with male, can pass thru. Otherwise one ** the customers request that woman to send that girl to that table. Eventually staff explain that that woman is staying customer in the upstair hotel. Still very scary experience.

As all rooms were booked, reception has told us to stay in their second building across the road - hotel Neptuna Kata. It was not bad. We enjoyed our stay, good price and good location. Hotel has everything for short stay.

Restaurants surrounding. I do recommend here.

It's a modest guesthouse, but their restaurant isn't great and they clean it every day. I liked it for a budget stay of four nights. Kata Beach is nearby, and Karon is just a stone's throw away. Overall, it's okay. Not every place is cleaned every day, so we appreciated that. It's really nice. Sometimes you don't have to run around asking the staff for cleaning or fresh towels.

Response from Property: Dear guest! Thank you for a top review! You made us feel proud now. We humans are all different and we all have special needs. For example, some guests wants the room to be made up 2 times everyday, some guests don't let the cleaning staff enter their room for a month. Some guests want bedlinen and towel change everyday, some not etc. Anyway, we love this place and we are doing our best to keep it fresh and make our guests feel comfortable. Very welcome back!

Great hotel for the price!
Great location – a 10-minute walk to Kata or Karon. Right in the center with all the restaurants and markets.
There's a restaurant in the lobby. The room has all the amenities – if you can get a room with a window, don't skimp – it'll be even nicer.
Other than that, I stayed for three nights to see the beaches and was happy with my room 🙏

Excellent hotel! The location is perfect, with two beaches nearby. The street is lined with bars and restaurants. There's a hotel bar/cafe downstairs. Cleaning is daily. Some rooms have windows facing the wall, which can be a bit dark. I had two rooms over two weeks with windows facing the street, one next to the balcony and smoking area (which didn't bother me). It's quiet, the other faces the street outside, which was a bit noisy in the evenings.

We spent the night there for a day and were able to leave our things at the reception so as not to have to walk around with them.

Good hotel, cleaning was every day. The location is convenient, there are 2 beaches nearby. Everything is within walking distance. True, it was noisy when the guests of this hotel sat at night and sang songs, closed windows did not save the situation.

Suitable only for a short overnight stay, nothing more. For a family holiday, don't even think about it! - this is a flophouse. The room is small, located on a busy road, the windows do not keep out the sound, the room is dark and uncomfortable. The bathroom is completely dark! Of the advantages, it is next to Karon Beach and not far from Kata, the air conditioning works well in the room, as well as good water pressure in the shower and hot water. The sink drained poorly.

Missing fire alarm (lucky we had our own), broken toilet seat, stoppage in the sink right from the start. Towels were changed daily but smelled strongly of urine. Dirty baby bed. The windows rattled from the traffic, but after we pressed paper around them it was a little better. Absolutely only the essentials but also for little money. The location is good in Kata, close to the beach, but the city is now only full of gaping unpleasant Russians and therefore not something we will go to again

Response from Property: Dear guests! We used to have smoke alarms, but we decided to remove them because the batteries often ran out and there was a constant annoying beeping sound. We installed new fire extinguishers instead. Toilet seats often break when some guests grab them unnecessarily hard. When it comes to the sinks, they break very quickly because guests use them as garbage cans, throw food scraps, and so on. We strive to keep all rooms in good condition, of course. Sometimes that work lags behind, for which we apologize! Some customers do not inform us of any shortcomings, then it is a bit wrong. I personally have lived at Little Mermaid for 8 years, use the same towels as our guests and have never experienced any dirty urine-smelling ones, quite the opposite. There may be noise from traffic, but that is something to be expected when you live so centrally. We have some Russian guests and there have never been any problems here at the hotel. It's a shame that you had a bad experience with Kata beach, which many people say is a nice place to visit. I think you should give it another chance and maybe choose accommodation that is a little more child-friendly. Welcome back! Suda Bunkuntod, Manager

we arrived at night by train, it's less than 5 minutes walk from the station to the hotel, we were met by a hospitable hostess, the room had everything we needed. the ferry crossing is right behind the hotel. I would like to separately mention the wonderful design of the hotel😊

If you are squeamish, it will be difficult for you to spend the night here, of course it justifies its price, but the atmosphere is oppressive, you want to leave as soon as possible, we arrived at night and stayed until the morning, everything seemed clean, but I slept in a sweater with a hood and pants with socks so as not to come into contact with anything, of the obvious disadvantages is the smell of dampness of old age, the shower works very well and the water is hot, the staff is also very nice and good
