The room was quite spacious and furnished ok. However, the bathroom is not - no tiles, flush wasn't working (even if we reported it several times!) Hotel staff cannot speak english. This made it difficult to get answers for questions like how to get a cab, if they had a weighing scale, etc. The only airconditioned area is the rooms.... More

I stayed last week in this hotel. The rooms are ok, but the beds are the hardest bed i ever layed on, really bad. I tried to explain to reception, bug nobody in this whole hotel speaks normal english. They don't want to solve the problem, that's bad service. The breakfast tastes quite bad and the location and views are... More

I have just returned from a weeks stay at the Dara hotel in Phuket. It was an unexpected trip (a result of my son being admitted to hospital in Phuket). My room was very quiet (even though on a main road and beside a construction site), very clean, functional and generally comfortable, although i have to admit the bed was... More

The 1st room that they showed us had a big crack in the floor & the vinyl flooring was split & lifting - trip hazard #1, we asked for a different room which... More

The hotel is on the outskirts of Phuket town and very close to Central Festival Shopping Complex (walking distance or free shuttle provided by the hotel). Rooms facing the main road can be noisy as the traffic never stops. You need a car to get around but it is centrally located to get easily everywhere on the island. The rooms... More

Spent 4 nights here. Room was fine, comfy bed, nice shower, hairdryer was not working but was fixed quickly when we told reception. Really nice pool. Decent breakfast, although not a great selection. The rooftop decking area was a bit dangerous as some of the wood was sticking up with nails in, probably due to the heat. Noisy at night... More

The hotel itself is nothing special. We booked the junior suite through agoda.com. The hotel website has some room pictures which look very funky and nice but the actual room looks kinda shabby. The breakfast has very limited selection and does not change much every day. The hotel staff (not all) but most of them just stand there and do... More

This is an ok hotel (2-3 stars), but a bit off from everything except a shopping center. there is a decent little pool area and the whole hotel is extremely colorful, with one color brighter than the other one. Good for a night but i wouldn't stay long here as there are better options closer to the beaches. Friendly staff... More
