Dara Hotel ★★★★
Some of the city's main attractions are just a few minutes' walk away.
HOMA Phuket Town ★★★★
"More facilities will be better if a longer stay is involved. View is average"
The Beach Heights Resort ★★★★
"Great place in a great location. Close to markets, restaurants and the beach."
Beyond Patong ★★★★
"The only downside of my Phuket and Chiang Mai trip. Seriously, don't book this place, folks! The locals in Phuket are lovely, and the scenery is beautiful. But definitely avoid this hotel in the Patong area. The entire room was incredibly damp and had a strong musty smell. I got sick after just one night, and the replacement room wasn't much better. There are construction sites and dust everywhere outside. The air conditioning hasn't been cleaned in probably a decade. The surrounding roads are under constant repair all day long, making it very dusty. And the street vendors are constantly loud and soliciting."
Chanakarn Resort Rawai ★★★★
"Due to the war between Iran and Israel, my flight to Phuket was canceled and I was unable to arrive. I asked the hotel to postpone my stay by a month and sent confirmation of my flight cancellation. The hotel did not accept my request. Too bad. I will not recommend this hotel to my friends."
77 Patong Hotel & Spa ★★★
"The place is beautiful and close to almost everything."
YouDee Hotel ★★★★
"The hotel facilities are excellent, and the staff are incredibly welcoming. Staying at U Dee Hotel is definitely a must-consider option when visiting Phuket. The rooftop pool is absolutely beautiful. If you're like us and don't speak Thai or English, they even offer a special car service to the airport for a fee, which is more convenient than taking a taxi."
Nai Yang Beach Resort and Spa ★★★★
"It was good. Near by beach. Resort have mini water park also with slides and water sprinklers."
Phuket Orchid Resort and Spa ★★★★
"Great place for the kids and is a located close to the beach. Food is good. The pools are fun. Thanks!"

Blue Carina Hotel(Central Phuket)
"Excellent hotel with a convenient location. We got a modern room with a great shower. The front desk staff were polite. Common areas are clean and nice. Daily housekeeping. Near the hotel are Andamanda Water Park, a hospital, cafes, 7-Eleven, Central Phuket, Big C, and other shops."
Meet Holiday Hotel-Rawai
"There are convenience stores and restaurants right outside, so it's super easy and convenient to buy daily necessities."
Phuket Patong Buri Resort
"Honestly, I have no idea how this place got so many good reviews. I booked a 6-day stay based on them, and on the very first night, the noise level hit 60 decibels – it was impossible to sleep. The reviews said there would be Chinese-speaking staff, but in reality, communication was impossible, and even translation apps weren't accurate. The front desk eventually moved me to a different room, but it was just as bad. The next morning, I contacted Trip.com and the hotel to request a refund for the remaining 5 nights. The front desk agreed at the time, but after I checked out, Trip.com told me the hotel wouldn't process the refund. It wasn't until I threatened to call the police that Trip.com said they'd only refund 4 nights, deducting one night's fee. I really feel ripped off. Seriously, folks, don't fall for this trap. I have decibel meter readings and audio/video recordings if anyone wants to see them."
Kalima Resort & Spa Phuket
Enjoy ocean views from your room, balcony, the pool, or the restaurant.
The Oceanic Sportel Phuket
"We initially booked a 1 night stay at The Oceanic Sportel on a whim after visiting Kata Beach to explore another side of Phuket, but it was so comfortable that we ended up extending it for a second night! Everything about the hotel itself was outstanding. Rooms & Facilities: The lobby is modern and stylish, and the rooms are large, high tech, and exceptionally comfortable and cozy. Service & Staff: The staff was incredibly helpful, friendly, and spoke fluent English, making communication and extending our stay effortless. Family Atmosphere: Truly family friendly with a wonderful environment for kids. The only minor point to note is that there isn't much within walking distance directly around the hotel. If you want to explore other parts of Phuket, you will need to rely on Grab or a taxi whenever you head out. Overall, an absolute gem of a hotel. Highly recommended!"
Mandarava Resort and Spa Phuket
"Pros: The service was quite enthusiastic and responsive. The rooms were spacious with 180-degree views, and the bedding was comfortable. Also, since they are all stand-alone villas with only neighbors above and below, soundproofing and privacy are better. The staggered layout allows for distant sea views from the balconies, and there are many pools to enjoy water activities within the hotel. Breakfast was decent, quite simple, with good fruit, but the juices were not freshly squeezed, which was a bit disappointing. Cons: The gym equipment was limited, and the hotel is quite far from the beach and town. Overall, it's good value for money, nothing exceptional but left a positive impression. It's not over-the-top excellent though. This hotel is suitable for those looking for a quiet retreat nestled on a hillside or for people who plan to go sightseeing far away during the day. Tourists who prefer convenience to living areas or want to spend time at the beach should consider other options."
Cape Sienna Gourmet Hotel & Villas
"Honestly, the only good thing about this place is the view. It's really only suitable if you plan on just staying at the hotel. If you have an itinerary, definitely don't book here. The deposit is a hefty 4000 baht, and adding an extra person is really expensive. The front desk staff weren't great either; they were always looking at their phones. My first hotel was so much better. This place really isn't worth the money."
LullaBella Hotel Patong
"The suite we stayed in was very comfortable. During our stay, my child left a note for the housekeeper, hoping she could fold a small animal out of a towel. We just tried our luck, but to our surprise, when we returned to the room that day, we actually saw it! My child was overjoyed and couldn't bear to undo it. Although it's just a small detail, it really shows that the hotel staff genuinely cares about every little wish of their guests. This thoughtfulness is more memorable than luxurious facilities. A truly warm and caring hotel."
Sawaddi Patong Resort & Spa by Tolani
"VERY FRIENDLY & WARM WELCOMING STAFF. CLEAN AND PHOTOGENIC RENOVATION"
6th Avenue Surin Beach
"Absolutely love to stay there. It was fantastic. Beautiful room, very spacious. Very clean. The pool was amazing and the restaurant was really good with food and the a fresh smoothies"
Bauman Casa Hotel Phuket
"I had a wonderful stay here. The location is fantastic—just right across from the beach. The receptionists and staff were amazing: friendly, helpful, and very attentive throughout my stay."
The Royal Paradise Hotel & Spa
"The hotel is very clean. I saw another review saying that it was an old hotel, but it has actually been renovated. I was really satisfied with the room because it pleasantly surprised me, it was much better than I expected. My room also had a great view facing Patong Beach, which made my stay even better. Overall, I had a great stay! 😊"
Aspery Hotel
"Classical Patong beach hotel, nothing exiting, but still good if the price is reasonable."
Rak Elegant Hotel Patong
"Nice Service"
