I stayed with a friend at the Thavorn Grand Plaza earlier this year. We booked dorm room beds, but the whole place was so deserted that we got the whole dorm to ourselves for B250 each, a really good deal! great location for phuket town, just around the corner from Robinsons etc. The breakfast looked a bit dodgy so we...

We have stayed at Thavorn Grand Plaza on March 2011. The deal was good. So, we had booked for 3 nights. Before we go to Phuket, I have read many reviews about this hotel. There are bad comments and strange rumors. But when I and my friends get there, we found that the hotel is quite ok. If we overlooked... More

Generally good value for the price. Good location in town, but very limited shuttles to Karon Beach. The breakfast was somewhat expensive, we found it best to buy fresh food from the nearby market. I would definitely go back. More

This place was once grand, now it is perfect for budget travelers. Lots of rooms, laundry machines you can use, wifi in common space, two pools. We had great views from our room on the 9th floor. More

Sawasdee Kha…… Thanks for your post. Thavorn Grand Plaza is one of the tallest hotels in Phuket town, so we do have some great views for example from our 10th floor rooftop swimming pool, where there is an aerial view of Phuket town as its sprawls onto the coastline and the Andaman Sea. We are glad to hear you enjoyed... More

This hotel is ridiculous. Once upon a time a long long time ago, it may have been a nice hotel. Now, there is nothing grand about it. The pictures are a complete fraud, but there is no such thing as false advertising in Thailand. The rooms smell like an old people's home, the beds are appallingly uncomfortable, everything is very... More

Sawasdee kha….. Thanks for posting here on TripAdvisor. We are sorry to hear that you were not pleased with your stay. Thavorn Grand Plaza is one of the original hotels in Phuket town and one of the first to be build on the island, it therefore holds a lot of Phuketian heritage and history. However it also offers many modern... More

Hahaha.... this is one of the funniest hotel ever. The pictures shown was beautiful & grand but nothing is close to it (except it's super huge chandelier). Look like an abandoned haunted building. The building was huge and big but not lively. The alley to our room was very far. Not to mention the spidey web inside the lift -shows... More

Be warned - do not expect this hotel to have your booking! We arrived late around 12pm after a late flight arrival at Phuket airport. Despite contacting the hotel about a month in advance that we would be checking in late (which they said was fine) when we arrived we were told that the hotel was full and they didn't... More
