Phuket Center Apartment

5 Joanna Schipper - 2 years ago

We stayed 3 nights in the Phuket Center Hotel (apparently it has changed its name into hotel) on the upper 5th floor where the suite category is located.

Pros:
- the room and the public areas are clean.
- the housekeeping department came on a daily basis to change the towels. It seems they have more large towels than small ones, because after the first day the small ones were gone without replacement. The big towels were more important anyway and with a set of extra floor mats we managed anyway.
- upon arrival the front office lady asked if we preferred a king-size bed or rather two single beds. Apparently one has a choice. Nice service! The mattress was luckily pretty hard, but that's just our personal preference.
-the shower has warm water. Read somewhere the showers would be cold. At least this was not the case in our room.
- the hotel does have an elevator. Read somewhere they wouldn't have one. It's a single, small elevator but it's better than climbing the stairs to the 5th floor.
- it's the first city hotel I have seen with a multi-storey car park, which is free of charge. The car park is big enough and it's safe. Moreover, each floor connects directly to the corresponding hotel floor. Park your car, get your stuff and walk straight to your room! I think that's fabulous.
- the TV has loads of international channels, even a Dutch one ????
- although the hotel is at the heart of the city the location is very quiet, no noise whatsoever.

Cons:
- maybe it's not a real con, rather more a particularity. The suites have a kitchenette. I assumed it would be equipped with the basics of a kitchen. Our kitchenette had a microwave, 2 plates, 2 spoons, 2 forks and 2 water glasses. In the supermarket right next door we had to buy detergent, a sponge and an opener, to be able to have breakfast at "home". The fork we used as a knife. Btw, the public cooking area at the 3rd floor of the car park was another positive discovery, as cooking in Asia often involves frying. No hotel owner is fond of the grease and smells in the rooms and it's also way more safe to cook outside the main building.

Conclusion:
A great value for money and next time in Phuket we'll stay again in Phuket Center Hotel!
Thank you for the wonderful service during these very busy Festival ค่ะ.

Decent sized rooms with large bed. Very hot outside but the rooms have air-conditioning there. The staff are lovely and friendly. Supermarket just outside the hotel which is very convenient. Close to town and very easy to get a tuk tuk to anywhere. Can't wait to go back

We stayed here for 2 nights with a toddler. The staff were very helpful and friendly. We stayed on the 5th floor which had larger rooms. The beds were very wide that you and your partner will probably not find one another during the night. The rooms were very clean and had aircon in the lounge room and bedroom. This is such a great location as its right in the middle of town and plenty of shops and cafes to walk and see. Downstairs next to the appartment is a large convience store so you can easily get everything you need till late at night. Tuk tuks and taxis are always readily available, and atms are pretty much at every corner. Looking forward to coming back and spending more time to explore the area soon.

Pretty good the bed was hard though and pillows but spotless and the cleaning crew are really trustworthy and staff.

Always smiles and laughs with them. Loved it

I stayed here a few times now and totally enjoyable .. friendly and helpful staff and Room cleaned every few days. WiFi is available but a little unreliable but perfect being in the centre of Phuket old town .. would recommend to my friends as a low cost, clean accommodation and situated off the main road .. ????

great location. all facilities available at walking distance. we faced a little issue as you could only rent scooters until 6pm.

very nice place? relatively quiet... clean close to old town, nice and friendly staff . the only negative is having to change wifi passwords every 24 hours
