The Old Phuket - Karon Beach Resort

Very nice place, close to everything. We walked to the beach several times and enjoyed the pool.

The service was good 👍🏻 clean and nice room with our own bathtub and jacuzzi. Near by you can find everything what you need, 2 min walk to the beach, 7/11, massage and many shops right next to the hotel. The hotel is quite nice and big. There was so quiet which is good and relaxing. Breakfasts are ok as well. Stuff pretty friendly

The hotel is ok for its price. Service isn’t the most welcoming (not smiling people in Thailand are rather exceptional. In this hotel most of the staff doesn’t smile to you).

The Old Phuket is a 4-star hotel due to its facilities. Usually 4-star also coincides with a high quality of customer service. Unfortunately not in this hotel. At check-in I was discriminated against as a solo white male traveller. I was made to sign a waiver stating that I would pay THB1,400 if a woman accompanied me to my room. I noted couples did not have to sign forms (I guess 3somes are not popular in Karon). I’m unsure if this action is also racist as I was unable to observe single guys of other nationalities checking in. On the first night, walking barefoot in my room, I accumulated black hairs on the soles of my feet. As a balding blonde European - you can imagine how off putting this experience was for me. I had a further issue with Housekeeping when my room was unmade by 5pm on the 3rd day. I phoned Reception who explained that 56 guests were due to check in today. Hmmm…. Finally, I requested a 2nd key for my room. There are a limited number of electrical sockets and it requires a key card in a slot to recharge devices. Two Receptionists refused my request. I asked to speak with a Supervisor who agreed but made me sign a waiver that if I didn’t return 2 keys, I would be charged THB100. So there we have it - 4-star Old Phuket service! On a positive note, the hotel is well located and the rooms are lovely (but dirty). Shout out for the Security guards who were always cheerful and helpful.

Excellent hotel. We took the pool access and had no regrets. Staff were excellent. Only the wifi was not v food. Many mosquitoes. We ask the staff to spray while cleaning our room. Breakfast was good.take the shuttle bus to puket Town from outside. Cheaper. The beach n sunset excellent. Will definitely return back for the serene n quietness of the hotel. Just felt like in heaven. Hotel provide balls and floaters in the pool. It made it more fun.

Needs a bit of loving to the buildings and pool area. Room sizes great... we had drop in pool access... brilliant. No air con in breakfast area... wide selection of international food but we had stayed in top quality in BKK and KL... fans for cooling but in the open air.... hot in May Great 500thb late check out option till 3pm. Awesome when having a late flight. Staff friendly and amenable. Some great food and massage near by. Accommodation very well priced with pool access. See you again
