You need a taxi to get anywhere and whilst ideal if you want to stay within its confines who wants to go stir crazy!!! Staff are overall good and welcoming but go explore. Renting a scooter is your best option. So so much cheaper

It is a rundown old hotel for a cheap price, 550 baht is what I paid. The mattress is worn on one side, something that looks like moth growing on the aircon unit vents, blood stains on the sheets and pillow cases, light switches that don't work, bathroom with massive pealing in the bath tub, hot water that sort of works, wifi that goes in and out, and a very non-impersonal staff. The hotel doesn't sell water, which is a 5 minute walk down the street, which isn't a big deal unless it is 1AM and you want more water. The location is great and the lobby looks very Thai old royal classic. I am use to hole in the wall places so it didn't bother me. It was cheap. But it you need something that looks like money has been invested into it with the last decade, this is not your place.

The basic room is available at 550 baht. The staff is just plain crazy and does not cooperate at all. They just answer "no have" to everything. The cleaning lady stole $200 from my backpack which the staff blatantly denied. They asked us to go to the police and file a complaint. Eventually I had to let go since I did not have any conclusive proof.

The lobby is worthwhile whether you're staying as a guest or not, especially the attached museum (pay the 30 baht). The island's first full service hotel has never been a commercial success (so says their website), but it's still a decent stay in the middle of Old Town Phuket. I'm pretty sure we were the only ones staying in the hotel. Main quibbles: wifi didn't work and TV didn't have cable. Staff seemed to take forever to get us a room, as though it had been so long since anyone had asked (after checking in, we saw a brand new hotel across the street). Still, the room is modern and clean. Great location by the pancake restaurant if you're looking for some good food.

Once the first 5 star hotel around Phuket island now this place is a budget stay & cheap museum of local history. The rooms are enormously huge and feel empty inside, the furniture is classy and naturally vintage. The aircon is handled manually and there is a local heater in the bathroom. For 550 baht a night is a no brainer to spend a few nights in here. The market and bus stop to the beaches is a 5 minutes walk from the place, there is a secure parking lot to the right and a food stalls are always up around.

550 baht got us a room with air con, we arrived late so this was a quick choice and probably not some where we would have stayed if we'd had time to search! The characterfull lobby looked like a museum and really got us excited for the rooms....... Unfortunately the upstairs resembeled an abandoned hospital and a few doors look like they had been forced not a place to leave your kit for the day! The rooms them selves were basic, borderline under equipped..... The beds were soiled slightly and bathrooms dingey the welcome was freindly enough and the it's a cheap place to stay, but one night only, as part of a commute

We came across this hotel while wandering the streets of Phuket and wished someone had told us we could have booked a room here. The Thavorn Hotel on Ratsada Road was built in 1961 and was Phuket's first 5-star hotel. Today the rooms upstairs look worn these days but the grand staircase leading upstairs is in excellent condition. Downstairs has been turned into a museum containing artifacts from Phuket's history. There are all sorts of antiques and paraphernalia from the old tin mining days. The hotel still has plenty of character and you can feel the grandeur of the former years. Rooms cost 550 baht per room.

Arriving in Phuket town, our reservation was cancelled so we headed to a hotel recommended by the LP guide. The hotel lobby is amazing. The elevator reminded us of an old Buick. The hallways leading to the rooms are poorly lit, stained, old and just plain spooky. The room themselves are spacious, equipped like a classy hotel back in the sixties. Problem is...they kind of got stuck in the sixties. The bathtub is dated from that time, so is the furniture and the windows. For someone travelling on a budget and wishing to remain close to the old town sights, it's a pretty good deal.

Rooms are very spacious and pretty clean, though the sheets smelled a little musty. The rooms themselves looked like the Soviet-era rooms that my husband stayed in in non-tourist areas of Russia. Showerhead had good pressure, a pleasant surprise! The hallways and rooms def gave me a vibe of a twisted little kid wagging his finger and saying “red rum, red rum” in a creepy voice. Call me insane, but I had myself half-convinced that the place was haunted. In the night, it would not have surprised me if I had opened my eyes to an apparition. Creeped out enough, I crawled from my tiny, single bed into the tiny, single bed that my husband was occupying next to me (maybe they did not have double bed rooms?). I think what made the place so creepy was that it was evident that what remained were echoes of a swinging hey-day, maybe back in the 1970’s. It has fallen into disrepair and not been maintained. The museum in the lobby is pretty cool though, well worth a look!…
