Hallo Patong Hotel
"The room decor was decent, and it was quite clean. Everything was good overall, but the room I stayed in was a bit small. For the price, it was probably to be expected."
The Crystal Beach Hotel

Anthiya Seaview Villa Hotel Phuket
"Are you kidding me? This is barely a 3-star, yet it's marketed as a 5-star? The service is terrible. I was still in my room, and there were already three people standing outside my door. One of them just walked in to check the mini-bar while I was still getting ready. 😧"

Kana Triple L Hotel Phuket
"Good room, good price."
Nai Yang Beach Resort and Spa
"This hotel is an absolute gem! It's just a few minutes' drive from the airport. We only stayed for one night as a layover, but we were really impressed. The beach is right across the road; while the sand quality isn't as good as Karon or Kata, it's perfectly fine for kids to play and dig. The hotel has a tranquil atmosphere with many towering banyan trees, giving it a real vacation vibe as you walk around. There's also a children's pool that's big enough for kids to enjoy. Right next to the hotel, you'll find a 7-Eleven, massage shops, a supermarket, and a pharmacy, and there are plenty of convenient dining options. If you're coming for a proper vacation, I wouldn't recommend the room type I stayed in, as it's by a small road and can be a bit noisy with passing motorbikes. Instead, booking a room in the middle of the hotel would be excellent and really enhance the holiday feel. The downsides are still the poor water quality, so a filtered shower head is needed, the pool is a bit small, and there are quite a few mosquitoes, so definitely bring plenty of insect repellent. Recommended!"
77 Patong Hotel & Spa
"One of the best hotels in Patong! 🌴 The 6-ft swimming pool is amazing, and having a bar on the rooftop makes it even better. The hotel is within walking distance of the beach, local markets, and Bangla Street, making the location super convenient. Great place to stay with a fantastic atmosphere. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"
Mandarava Resort and Spa Phuket
"This is a very standard resort, nestled on a hillside near Karon Beach (a few hundred meters direct distance, with a shuttle service to the beach). The environment is serene and pleasant, with a full range of facilities, making it perfect for a relaxing getaway. The hotel property is large and situated on a hill, so dedicated staff are available to help with luggage from check-in to check-out, which is very convenient. A special shout-out: The hotel anticipates guests' needs. We changed room types during our stay, and the hotel, when possible, had the new room prepared in advance and arranged staff to assist with a seamless transition, without any unnecessary waiting or repetitive check-in/out at the front desk. This was incredibly thoughtful. P.S. The breakfast selection is diverse; I highly recommend the omelet from the egg station – definitely give it a try!"

Hotels in Phuket: where to stay and what to book
Phuket is an island with one road down the middle and a string of beaches on its west side, plus a town in the middle that most visitors skip. Patong is the busy one, with the bars and the nightlife; Kata and Karon are the family beaches south of it; the town and the airport are at the north and east. Where you stay decides whether your evenings are loud or quiet, and how long the transfer takes from the airport at the start and end of the trip. Below are nine hotels in Phuket, grouped by three choices, with the star rating, guest score, address and nearest stop for each.
Where to stay in Phuket: three different trips
Area | Best for | Practical check |
|---|---|---|
Patong | Nightlife, shops, a first visit | The beach road is loud until late |
Kata and Karon | Families, swimming, a quieter beach | The hills behind the beaches make walks steep |
Phuket Town and the airport | One-night stops, the old town, early flights | A drive to the beaches, not a walk |
Phuket's beaches are on the west coast and the airport is in the north, so the transfer at either end of the trip is a road journey rather than a short hop. Ride-hailing works on the island and is cheaper than the taxis at the airport rank, and the beach roads are slow in the high season. The monsoon runs through the middle of the year, and the west coast beaches change character with it, with the surf up and the sand cut back on some stretches.
Patong
Patong is the busiest beach on the island: a long curve of sand with a road behind it, shops, restaurants and bars that stay open late. The beach is wide enough to find space in the morning, and the crowds arrive in the afternoon. It is the easiest place to land for a first trip, with everything within a walk, and the noisiest place to sleep. The beach road is one long strip of restaurants and bars, and the side streets behind it are where the quieter hotels sit.
Hotel | Class | Score | From | Location | Good to know |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
3-star | 7.9 | £72 | Patong, a short walk from the beach road | The cheapest room in Patong in this set | |
4-star | 8.8 | £166 | Sawatdirak Road, Patong | A few minutes from the sand, on a quieter street | |
5-star | 9.1 | £741 | Phabaramee Road, above Patong | On the headland, with the bay below and a shuttle to the beach |
Beyond Patong is the best balance here: a 8.8 score, a quiet street and the beach a few minutes away. Zephyr is the budget option and the cheapest bed on the page. Kalima is the resort on the headland, with the view and the pool, and it is a different kind of stay from the street hotels.
Kata and Karon
Kata and Karon are the beaches south of Patong, quieter and better for swimming, with a strip of restaurants and shops behind each. They are where families and longer stays tend to end up, and the hills behind them give the views that the beachfront hotels cannot. Kata has two beaches split by a headland, and the smaller southern one is the quieter of the pair.
Hotel | Class | Score | From | Location | Good to know |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
3-star | 8.1 | £62 | Patak Road, Karon | A small hotel on the road behind the beach | |
3-star | 9.0 | £91 | Kata Road, Kata Beach | A short walk from the sand, with a pool | |
4-star | 8.9 | £143 | Patak Road, Karon | Between the two beaches, with the hills behind |
Kata Sea Breeze is the best value of the three: a 9.0 score for £91, with the beach a short walk away and the restaurants of the strip behind it. Adema is the cheap, small option on the Karon road. The Front Village sits between the two beaches, which suits a trip that wants both.
Phuket Town and the airport
Phuket Town is the island's capital, with the Sino-Portuguese shophouses, the night market and the restaurants that the beach resorts do not have. The old streets are best walked in the early evening, when the market sets up and the lights come on. The airport is half an hour north of it. The hotels here are the cheapest on the page, and they suit a first or last night rather than a beach holiday.
Hotel | Class | Score | From | Location | Good to know |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
3-star | 9.4 | £38 | Old Town, Phuket Town | A small guesthouse in the shophouse streets | |
3-star | 8.7 | £53 | Phuket Road, Talat Yai | In the middle of the old town, near the market | |
4-star | 8.5 | £83 | Naiyang, by the airport | A few minutes from the terminal, with the beach nearby |
Baan Old Town has the best score on the page and the lowest price, in the middle of the old town. Horange is the practical option for a night in town, and Maya is the one for an early flight, close to the terminal with Naiyang beach at the end of the road.
Before you book: five practical checks
- Expect peak rates from November to February. The dry season is the high season, and the west coast beaches fill first, so book early or travel in the shoulder months.
- Check the monsoon before you book a west coast beach. From May to October the west coast surf is up and some beaches are unsafe for swimming, while the east coast shelters.
- Decide between Patong and the quieter beaches. The difference is noise, not distance, and it decides how you sleep: Patong is awake until the early hours, while Kata and Karon close up after dinner.
- Book the airport transfer before you land. The airport is in the north and the beaches are on the west coast, and the taxi rank is the most expensive way to make the trip.
- Ask about the hill. Several hotels sit above the beaches, and a sea view often means a steep walk back from the sand.
Arriving in Phuket: airport, roads and the beaches
Coming in | How it works | What to know |
|---|---|---|
Phuket International Airport | In the north of the island, with taxis and ride-hailing outside | The beaches are a road journey from the terminal |
By taxi | Metered taxis and ride-hailing run to every beach | Ride-hailing is usually cheaper than the airport rank |
By bus | Airport buses run to Phuket Town and the main beaches | Cheap, but slow and infrequent |
By car | One main road runs down the island | Useful for beach-hopping, and parking is easy outside Patong |
By boat | Ferries and speedboats run to the nearby islands | Day trips rather than transport between beaches |
One thing catches people out: Phuket's beaches look close together on the map, but the road between them climbs over headlands and takes longer than the distance suggests. A hotel on a hill above a beach can mean a steep walk or a taxi every time you want the sand, so check the gradient before you book on the view. For hotels in Phuket, that check is worth more than any star rating, because the map hides exactly this kind of distance.
