The location is excellent; central to everything and with its own minimart downstairs. I have stayed in Karon many, many times before; including at the Simplitel in 2013. The hotel then was new and was at a premium price. However the stay was far cheaper this time around - possibly due to the downturn in the tourism market - but the level of cleanliness was still excellent. THE STAFF Reception and Cleaning staff were superb. All smiles and professionalism across the board. However, on the second morning I went down for breakfast and was asked my room number, which I duly gave and went to the well-appointed buffet. As I was putting some bread in the toaster, I get manhandled around by the waiter and he shouts, "No! Stop!" "I beg your pardon." He points at my room number on his sheet and it says "RO" - Room Only. I'd thought I'd paid - as I had done for two rooms back in 2013 - for the included breakfast. Oops! "Sorry!" - said in Thai. As I start to walk away, feeling a bit sheepish, an older man comes into the dining room and yells at me from ten feet and getting closer, "Get out! You not pay! No food! Get out!" Now, far from being embarrassed, I'm fuming. How dare he? A simple mistake; I'd already apologised and was walking out. Now I'm red with rage. But still walking and not acknowledging the older man. I live in Thailand and have learned how to keep a "cool heart" as the Thais say. I don't know if I'll stay again. But I definitely won't include breakfast!

Clean, comfortable and welcoming hotel. Staff are friendly, food at breakfast was delicious, facilities were clean and cozy. This is a simple hotel (hence the name) but with all there is to do on Phuket, you don’t spend too much time inside and that’s why this place is perfect. Great location!!

Great place, simple but clean and modern. My room was very spacious. Staff was helpful, but the language barrier was tricky. I arrived a day late, and warned them twice by email and text, but nobody seemed to know about it and it took awhile to find my reservation. Besides that, great stay!

Mixed feeling on this one. Choose this hotel because of it's location. Service was very good. Sleep was comfortable but water from the tap had a terrible smell.

Location strategic, room cleanlines to be improved

We were arriving quite late and have no choice to our reserved toom. It was nightmare when assigned our room at 3rd floor which is upper floor of restaurant. There were many little crokoaches coming out whenever we moved. They came out from table, u der the bed and bathroom. I called to receptionist about this issue and ask for room changed. Fortunately, he was helpful and manage to get me another room at 6th floor. It was much more cleaner. I am happy they attended and fixed the issue immediately and new assigned room is pleasant to stay! We are satisfied at last! The breakfast was standard, fresh and they will continue refill when finished Very polite staff and we are happy to had our breakfast there daily. For location wise, it was strategic and not hustle. Simplitel is close to alot nice restaurants and seaside. We were moving around by riding bike in Phuket. There is a bike rent stall at few block away (right side when you step out from hotel). There are some nice coffee shops/ dessert shops nearby seaside. Is good to explore around in Karon beach.
