What's nearby

  • All the food you can think of on the island while walking between these old colorful Sino-Portuguese houses. The crowded weekend market known locally as Naka Market in #Phuket old town is the largest in the island, with plenty of family businesses offering food & shopping items. Despite it is a small market when compared to the huge Chatuchak market in Bangkok, it certainly beats the other markets found at Patong, Karon & Kata beaches. If you're a tourist, don't forget to bargainhard! #Thailand #LikeALocal #LifeatExpedia #trovember

A really nice hotel. I had a room with a outside private area which was good. It was not busy and quiet place. A bit far to walk to the old town, but it was alright for me. The pool was clean and all over a really nice stay.

The hotel is very nice and the staff is great. There was some construction happening on a Saturday morning, though I hope that won't affect future stays here. The pool is also very nice.

The hotel is very quiet and peaceful. The staff was very pleasant. It’s a great place if you want an authentic home town feel but close enough to heavy action. The town was a nice escape and gateway to home style meals and hospitality. I enjoyed my stay here.

Building site

Staff were very friendly. The main issue was tge hotel was unfinished and had very loud building work going on throughout our whole trip. The constant noise and dust flying around from the building site that was the hotel made it impossible to relax when there.

Position in China Town

Quite a long walk to the Old town along blocked, non-existant or poorly maintained pavements, but located in a quiet cul-de-sac away from traffic. Old style concrete construction allows noise to travel extensively. Good pair of silicon ear plugs are advised for light sleepers.
