The Old Phuket Hotel
Accommodation and facilities:
Awesome place to stay, great location,easy access, fun bars in main street of Karon with good live bands, lots of places to eat. Would recommend Karon over Patong any time. Cleaner, nicer, quieter. Good Shopping. The Old Phuket is in a great spot. Big rooms, pool access was the best!!!!
Reservation service:
Easy to book through Tripadvisor and great recommendation.

The Old Phuket Hotel
Accommodation and facilities:
Beautiful breakfast every morning however the beds are rock hard ,the spa if you are lucky will work but then you wont get in because its not clean....The towels need replacing very worn too. room was nice but noise from the compressor above made it difficult to sleep.Eventually got a new room which was an upgrade and was better although the spa was touch n go again. Lack of english made it a chore getting the lovely Thai people to understand.would look elsewhere and pay a bit more. ok for the days 5in total.The shuttle service was terrific and free...
Reservation service:
excellent will use sawadee again ....

The Old Phuket Hotel
Accommodation and facilities:
Location not so great because all the action is at Patong. For families wanting a quiet holiday far from the night life though, this is the place to be. Quite a few nice restaurants, mini market, massage parlours just outside the hotel. The hotel itself is great. We booked rooms in both the old wing and the new pool access rooms. Both the rooms were good enough. The pool access rooms were quite spacious and the kids loved the pool. The bathrooms were very interesting. Service was also good, though not really outstanding. Have to say that the incharge at the front desk - Maria was very helpful.
Reservation service:
The booking service was smooth. No glitches.

The Old Phuket Hotel
Accommodation and facilities:
Our trip to phuket was destroyed by old phuket hotel... because they not make any booking for us, when we arrive to the place we discover we don t have any room available, and after 12 hours of flit, with small baby- 10 month old, we should wait about 2 hours in lobby without ac for solution of our problem, worse than that, people in reception not offer any water or place with ac for us for wait... my baby cry because he was hot tired and hungry, everyone was angry... not nice way to start holly days. I not recommend this hotel because of the service- i think have many nicer places to relax in your hollydays.
Reservation service:
unfortunately it was bad. we book hotel 3 weeks before time and when we arrive, we didn t have any booking... very disappointed.

The Old Phuket Hotel
Accommodation and facilities:
Staff and grounds were spectacular, convenient to everything, and well maintained. Just a few objections. The internet server for guest use was pathetic-always down and unable to connect to many sites-quite inconvenient. Second, no help in getting cab to airport... when we asked front desk to make a call to our old driver, they wanted us to pay 30tb for the call. The amount was not the issue, but rather the idea that at a 5 star hotel, they could not even arrange airport transportation. Finally, they would not give us 3 room keys for 3 people and that was sometimes a pain. Otherwise, the place was wonderful.

The Old Phuket Hotel
Accommodation and facilities:
I enjoyed my staying in this hotel .We had a big surprice when we arrived because we did get an upgrade for free.We did get the deluxe pool acces room.That was nice and easy. But ....even i appreciated the free upgrade i was unhappy because i specialy booked a room at the Sino-wing because those rooms looked so nice and cosy while the rooms at the Sirene-wing are to modern and cold for me. We stayed here with 4 peoples and we all found that the hotel was great.Very friendly employes ,nice and clean ,just a few minutes away from the beach ,a few minutes away from a some good restaurants . And if you rent a car just a few minutes away from Kata and Patong . Only a few remarks i want to give the hotel : first abouth the bathroom .It was big and nice with a step-in shower of maybe 2m³ and a bathtubb with swimingpoolview .But to get in the bathtubb or close the curtains of the bathroom you need to climb on the area around the tubb.And i can say it did feel not safe.Specialy when wet the marble get really slippery. My second remark is about smoking in the breakfastarea.It s really tasty that somebody stinks at the other table while you just have your first bite duuuh .If they want to smoke just let them do it somewhere else ! My last point is to make the breakfast a bit more various.Because i did have the same things for breakfast already for two weeks in Bangkok. This hotel is worth it s 4 stars .Me ,my friend and partners will definatly come back here when we be back on Phuket .

The Old Phuket Hotel
Accommodation and facilities:
I traveled with my husband & 2 teenagers. We stayed in the Serene wing & loved our rooms. Air-con worked, shower had hot water and fridge had well priced beer! Rooms were surprizingly large. Plenty of space around the bed and plenty of storage. There were even umbrellas in the room for rainy days. Pool at Serene was lovely but decking is starting to break. Not enough umbrellas around the pool but plenty of lounge chairs. Forgot to check out rooms in original hotel building. Villas/family suites looked interesting. Staff friendly enough with good English skills, except on check-out. Checking out took forever and was a painful experience. Short stroll to beach. Few restaurants just outside hotel grounds. Others a short walk away on esplanade and main street. Hotel is almost next door to market shopping (clothes, bags etc), and 2 mini-marts nearby. So nice NOT to be in noisy Patong and just be able to relax.
Reservation service:
Once again booking through Sawadee.com was easy and problem free.

The Old Phuket Hotel
Accommodation and facilities:
Stayed here during the low season with our 10-months old baby-girl. The hotel is basically two different hotels Serene and Sino sharing facilities and dining. During the first week we ve stayed at terrace room of the older Sino wing, where rooms are quite tired and lack sunlight. Moscquitos are frequent guests. For the second week we ve moved to Serene wing, which was absolutely great, very clean and stylish, 32-inch LCD screens and DVD-players, better pillows and trendy bathrooms. There was some construction going on site next to the hotel, but that didn t bother us too much as it was mostly fnished and the hotel s walls are properly soundproof. Breakfasts were excellent! Great choice of some traditional thai dishes along with omlets, sausages, ham, fruit and cereals. Dining at the hotel-recommended Chilli restaurant was the only dissapointment as all the dishes weren t good at all. A near by Ging place was far better in all aspects. Hotels guests were mostly aussies and russians, some with kids, but pretty quiet at nights ). Hotel s service always top-notch, special regards to Arun (manager) and the always-smiling guards ).
Reservation service:
fast and reliable as always, good workr
