My family of 3 stayed here for 4 nights on our first visit to Phuket.
Its about 1000 baht from the airport to this hotel.
Dave the owner was welcoming and informative, and has taxi drivers available for you to book at fixed prices. And his staff were always friendly, and polite.
Our room was number 5, and had a comfy double bed and an extra bed for our child.
There is no lift, but the staff helped us up the stairs with our luggage.
There was a nice sunny balcony which overlooked other residences.
The room had great a/c plus a fan which was a godsend. The shower was warm but didn't have much pressure.
Our room was freshened up and re-stocked with clean towels and water everyday.
We ate in the restaurant a few times, and loved their western-style choices; bacon, eggs, sausages, and burgers. Also great shakes and cocktails.
Outside, there is a busy road to cross, but once you get used to the speed of the vehicles it gets easier.
To the left there is a handy general store with a guy who knows some english, to the right and down a little lane is a lovely girl, who will wash, dry, and neatly pack your laundry for 50 baht per kilo.
Across the road is a 7-11 and money exchanger, as well as food vendors.
The beach is a 5-10 minute walk across the street, and past many restaurants and shops which open around 10. During our stay, the seas were quite rough and swimming wasn't allowed.
If I had to nit-pick, my only cons would be: 1/That the balcony isn't that private/secure; its accessible by ladder from below ( possibly a fire escape) and next door's balcony.(low wall between)
2/ There is no hot water for the vanity basin or power outlet in bathroom, which made shaving difficult.
3/ The restaurant staff are great.....but they need to give us time to order; not stand near us as soon as we sit down.
Overall, we were very happy with our stay at Mellow Space, its clean, affordable and comfy, and I would have given it 4 and a half stars if possible.
Hope you find this review helpful.
