Best Hotels near Villa Amarapura, Phuket

At first we booked it for a week, but since everything was fine, we’ve decided to stay extra two weeks. Everything was going ok until one if the housekeepers ROBBED US! We left a small amount of money in a purse (30TBH) and a fresh pack of ciggarettes in a room and while she was cleaning the room she actually freakin’ STOLE that SMALL amount of money and 8 ciggarettes. We know this is not the money to be complaining about, but the thing is that it actually happened. What if we had left there more money? She obviously would’ve stolen that too.. wow.. When we went down to the reception and described the situation, a guy who was working at the reception started laughing at us! Staff is absolutely horrible, can’t communicate normally and has no respect to their customers. We didn’t want our room cleaned for the rest of the stay, because we were afraid something might get stolen again. We confronted a housekeeper and she had full pockets of money, but she was ignoring us and couldn’t look in to our eyes. Manager of this hotel tried to find everything out but workers just denied everything. This is absolute comedy.. And we got no compensation at all. Staff ruined the whole stay. We would not stay here again.

The place is remarkably beautiful, with large lagoon in the centre of resort. The staffs and owner are really nice and helpful. We got lost at the airport on our first day and we reached out to the reception to ask for transferring service. It took only 15 minutes for the driver to arrive. We had a really great time here and hopefully, we'll come back again very soon. 有美丽的地方，度假村中间有一个大游泳池。 服务员和业主都很善良。 我们到达的第一天，我们在机场迷路了路，并联系了人员以帮助取车来接我们， 只等了大概15分他们就来啦。在普吉岛玩的很开心。 希望很快回来，肯定也要回到着度假村住！

If you're only staying in Phuket a couple of days, this hotel is satisfactory. It's quite close to the beach and shopping if you need to buy anything. There are two important things to note: 1) There is a 1,000 Baht deposit you have to pay upon check in. You get the deposit back when you check out. 2) The address/name on the site does not take you to the hotel. The hotel is the ICheck Inn Chill Patong and the address is 18 / 1Rat-u-thit ,200 pee road, kathu, Phuket, 83150, Thailand.

Stay here for a 3 nights stay, really like the cleanness of the hotel and close to all the attractions and shopping malls. U won’t go hungry as there are many eating houses and restaurants both locals and overseas foods. Not mentioning lot of bars and bistros to choose from if you out for a drinks. Like the close proximity of Bangle street, so much vibes and fun’s

Stayed in the hotel only as I am leaving very early tomorrow to Khao Lak. Its a good pitstop hotel probably not for long term. The location is not exactly on a prime location. Its in the middle of a road with nothing much happening around. You need to travel 10 minutes by car to get to anything worth mentioning. Other than that the price is very spot on. Less than $20 I paid for a triple room, couldnt really complain much. Room is clean but the age of the room is already showing. Bathroom for instance is mouldy. AC is very loud. But you get past it for the price you pay. Recommended for short stay, not for long term. There's parking with security, which was a plus.

Don’t hesitate. Good people. Great welcoming. Perfect if you want to be close to phuket town but not the middle of it. Everything one may need for is around also.

We were there for a month…..loved the location. A couple kilometers from the beach, which gave us a good walk every day. We got to know our favorite street food and fruit vendors, and security people at different hotels who helped us cross the street. Really nice. The housekeeping staff did a great job. But the front desk folks were kind of unresponsive. They did not speak English very well, and didn’t give us tips or information very well to help us out. We broke a cup, and they charged us the equivalent of $8 to replace this dollar store item. The counters were really low which was kind of weird. There were no kitchen utensils pots pans knives, forks, spoons, dish clothes, dish soap, or dish towels. Nothing! The only kitchen stuff we had were two little cups, like a demitasse cup, two saucers, and two little spoons. Never had the breakfast because we thought it was very expensive. We ate noodles next door every morning instead. Didn’t use the pool. Air conditioner in the “kitchen” didn’t work Weird little plastic sofa and set up with the TV. Kind of a sterile feel to the place, but we would stay there again

Best hotel we have been so far in Thailand. Great breakfast, nice pool on the rooftop and gym well equipped. Street food just front of the hotel. Ah, and super nice shower gel and shampoo in hotel!

Stayed for 8 nights in this hotel with my wife. Excellent hotel overall. Very clean indeed, staff very helpful and nothing is too much trouble. They open doors for you as you enter reception, take you bags to your room, help sort car / moped hire etc, The room was very clean and well appointed. Bath and beach towels are provided and they change these as frequently a you need. They also provide all the usual essentials including shower gel, shampoo, toilet paper, bottled water every day. Kettle, hob, large sink and basic utensils, glasses, cups etc were all provided. Also an iron and ironing board as well as a clothes drying stand. The big kitchen sink is easily bug enough to do clothes washing in. Room service was excellent each day. Balcony size on normal rooms was slightly small, especially as was shared with two large air conditioning units (all balconies appear the same) so this made the balcony cramped, noisy and hot when air conditioning was on. Breakfast was provided in the adjoining restaurant. This was excellent offering fresh hot and cold food, eggs made to your liking (fried, scrambled, omelettes, etc), bacon, sausages, fruit, bread, croissants, etc etc. Seemed to have everything included plentiful supply of juices, coffee, tea, etc. Most things self-service but the staff were on hand to help and to clear used dished. The location of the hotel means it is a 15 minute to the beach and 15 minutes to the main restaurant area known as Boat Avenue. Fortunately the hotel runs a shuttle bus service twice an hour to both locations and back until 9.10pm. Would be nice if slightly later coming back from Boat Avenue, but taxis and tuk-tuks were on hand although these aren't the cheapest. The main local beach is Bang Tao beach. This is lovely. Very clean (as everywhere seems to be here), soft white sand, gentle shelving into the water with no stones or rocks. Shame about sea lice the bite / sting in the water but they are everywhere in this part of the world depending on time of year and they are a very minor irritation. Also good availability of sun-beds as well as beverages from the beach shacks. Lots of fresh water showers and there is parking next to the beach as well as toilets. Boat Avenue has plenty of nice restaurants - see my other reviews if you want to see where we went and what we thoughts. Lots to choose from. Most restaurants seem to slow down food service after 9.30pm and this is not a clubby resort. Was just right for us though as there were plenty of bars and some with live music (check out The Mexican bar and restaurant). Wine is not cheap here and starts around £30 a bottle - although some could be found around £25. We stuck to beer with dinner. There is also a handy large supermarket selling everything you could need and is right by taxi station and open until 10pm. Final top tip about this area is to visit on a Friday night if you can as the street market is great with street food and live music. Easy to hire cars and
