A great hotel

It’s a lovely local hotel with amazing staff - they were ever so hospitable, and attentive! The hotel has a nice, clean pool, and is a short walk from the beach, and all the bars and restaurants. Would definitely stay again.

Well located good hotel with spacious rooms and a nice swimming pool near Kata beach. The staff was accommodating after an initial mix up in the choice of beds. The bathroom was pretty good too, with both a bathtub and shower. Maybe it could have been litten up a bit better. Well located to access the beach, restaurants or the Kata Walking Street for food in the evening a bit further North of the hotel. Overall a very good short stay in this hotel

Kata Poolside Resort

Great value for money. Location very good just 5 mins walk to beach. Plenty of restaurants in close walking distance. The restaurant at front of hotel was superb. Packed every night and very reasonable prices. Only negative comment is they have a pool bar but obviously never used. Staff were very friendly and the room we had - deluxe pool view was newly renovated and the important thing, the bed was very comfortable.

Perfect for Mid Priced hotel

Not the swankiest hotel but great for the price and location if you want to be smack dab in the middle of everything. That said, it is recessed, so actually very quiet at night. The pool is gorgeous and pristine clean, very good service which is the standard in Thailand. We were very comfortable here. Especially since there was a ladder directly into the pool from our poolside balcony!

Great location for restaurants, shops & beach.

Nice hotel in the centre of Kata. No nice views from the rooms, unless you're overlooking the pool. A few metres down a side road off the main high street of Kata. A very busy, lively area. just a few hundreds metres from the beach. Small, clean and tidy pool. Mattress was firm which wasn't great for my back but the room and hotel was clean and tidy. Lovely helpful staff.

I’ve stayed here a few times and have always had a great time and service. I usually book a Saturday night when I go dancing with friends at the Palm! Safer not to drive home. However, on my last visit, I was visiting with a friend meeting me for dinner/dancing. He was there at check-in counter when I arrived, and after we had breakfast on the premises, my friend was also there at the front counter for check-out. I sat in my car for about 10mins after check out to check my messages. An employee accosted me at my car and demanded a copy of the passport of my friend: who was there at check in (and also asked to provide his ID and staff declined), at breakfast and check-out process. I have no idea why on earth they would bang on my car window to demand the passport copy of someone who’s not present?! Very confused. I’ve had a few good stays there and like the location and have recommended it to many people. After this, not sure if a repeat stay is in the future. My son likes it there. Manager was no help with my complaint of harassment.
