Ibis Styles Phuket City is a very good budget hotel in Phuket Town. I'm glad that I decided to try out this hotel which is a bit hidden behind Novotel. The rooms are just as comfortable as in Novotel but without the view and 2-3 times cheaper. I highly recommend staying here if you are on a budget.
As Accor Plus Diamond member I got room upgrade to family suite, drinking voucher for the Novotel bar, free breakfast in Novotel, welcome fruit and welcome letter. All this for around 700 bath per night (Accor Plus red hot rooms price). This is great value.
The family suite is very comfortable, a queen bed, a bunk bed, several windows with a view of Courtyard Phuket and a banana farm. There is a desk and chair, comfortable enough for working. Everything very clean and tidy.
I would love to give five stars but there were some minor issues:
- The aircon vent was covered by dust when I check-in. I asked them to clean , which they did. But the dust had feel down on the floor when I came back to the room. After I asked cleaning to clean the room, the dust was still there. So I had to ask them to come again and clean the dust up.
- Some cleaning ladies did not wear a mask, which poses a risk to themselves and the guests, since we're at the height of a covid wave right now.
- Some staff and almost all guests did not wear masks inside the lobby, I understand that it is now voluntary in Thailand, but I still think it would be good to wear a mask now due to the high rate of covid infections.
However, those are just minor issues and I will for sure come back again soon to IBIS Styles Phuket town as long as they have such competitive rates.
