Really enjoyed our stay at Kafe Karon. The manager, Moo was lovely and very helpful. Our housekeeper Nui was also lovely and bought us some medication when we were unwell ( it had nothing to do with this property) There’s a few bars across the road which play music into the night but hey… when in Thailand go and join them… which we did. Great value for money overall. Would stay here again

A fine option for the budget travelers visiting Karon area. Right off the main road, minutes to public transportation options. Minutes from amazing beach access. Seconds away from incredible food, drink, options.

Nice comfortable hotel. In a nice area close to restaurants and some bars. The bed was very comfortable and a good shower too. Kat the lady at reception was very nice and helpful. The only negative thing about the hotel is the lack of an elevator. So if you have heavy or large luggage, you may wish to request a room on a lower floor. Mine was on the top floor. So had to carry my luggage up 3 flights of stairs. Kat kindly offered to help me carry my luggage upstairs. Overall a very enjoyable stay.

We enjoyed our stay at this property. The things that stood out were the friendly staff, comfortable bedding, cold AC, and great location. A short walk to the beach with loads of restaurants all within a very close proximity. I Would definitely recommend staying at this hotel.

Value for money

I had excellent communication with the hotel prior to my stay but found the reception a little brusque (I did arrive v late at night to be fair) and I didn’t receive my requested quiet room. The room was up 2 flights of stairs. There is no lift so only stay here if you are traveling light. I got a lot of street noise from the bars that first night but things were quieter for the following 3 nights- I did put both fan and air con on. The room was big and spotlessly clean. The bed was a little hard and was 2 singles made up as a double. The pillows were comfortable. It had a very functional Asian style wet bathroom with a rain shower with great water pressure. There is a safe and plenty of drawers and cupboard space with hangers. I came and went with little interaction from the reception except they checked several times to make sure I checked out at exactly the right time. I ate at the steak restaurant downstairs last night. The steak was worth the price. The hotel is close to beach, shops and cafes. For a short, no fuss break I would definitely stay again.

We thought the room was dated but clean. The bathroom did not have an enclosed shower but instead a shower head and drain on the floor. Water go everywhere and my husband got injured. The location is at the end of a quieter road but everytime you go to the beach there are businesss that try to waive you down, it got a little annoying. We didn’t eat at the restaurant because it wasn’t extremely over priced but the rooms were good for a short visit.

I can't say enough good things about this property. In fact we love it so much we booked ourselves back here again in a week! The location is fantastic it's on a lively little side street if you want to see the action request a room on the street if you want it quiet request a room on the back side. We were on the third floor, no elevator but we love the exercise up and down the stairs so book accordingly. it's a couple of minute walk to one of the nicest beaches on Phuket, Karon Beach. The stay here comes with full use of the upscale Pacific club hotel with an incrediible rooftop pool, herbal steam bath and jucuzzi pool a short bike ride away. The food in the restaurant is exceptional in both places. Staff here are wonderful and genuinely accomadating. May especially was an added ray of sunshinare. Can't wait to come back:)
