더 블루 펄 카타 호텔

Non smoking rooms are at separate block, so the block has no smell of somke. Live music for dinner Next to night Market. Just don't expect too much for the swimming pool

Good location Besides night market Nice hotel

The hotel seems fairly new and is clean and comfortable and has been tastefully decorated. Location is good if you want to walk to local beaches, two about 10 mins away each. If you want to experience Thai culture though this is probably not the place to stay. Surrounding restaurants consist of sub standard, overpriced food. The night market opposite is ok but quickly can be seen. (Head to Phuket old town to get good food.) If your on a budget and can’t afford to hire a car and or don’t have a lisence to drive a motorbike (me!), then this very touristy area of Phuket might prove a struggle. Local taxis have fixed (extortionate) rates and don’t shift on them, can be very frustrating when there are ten taxis sitting there doing nothing for hours on end! Metered taxis very scarce. Staff: I found the staff generally friendly, welcoming and friendly, specific mention to the cleaner who always smiled and said hello. However the manager on reception I found rude and unhelpful. A couple of tones I would go to reception to ask a basic question such as where is the local beach, he looked at me and didn’t reply. At that point a fellow guest gave me directions. Little things like this put a dampener on your stay, none the less If I needed a room in the area again I would consider staying here.

Thanks again

The hotel itself looks really modern and cozy at the same time, its like being in a beach house. It-s a good hotel if you want to be on a budget, but still with a convenient location and a nice room. I stayed the first few nights with breakfast included, but the breakfast itself is definitely not worth to pay extra for it has very limited options and for what you get, you will find places outside that offer you better options. Therefore, when I ended up extending my stay for 2 nights more, I didn't include the breakfast. There was a construction just infront, so having naps in the afternoon or if you want to sleep until a bit later, that won-t be possible while the works are going on. I understand this is not the hotels fault. I do think I would go back, mainly because of the location and the price, but there is still a lot of room to improve, especially the friendliness of the staff. Most of the times we would pass the front desk and they would not say anything to you and saw it happening also with many other guests, so that's not really nice if they cannot be bothered by even saying goodmorning or anything and just speaking between them.
