Small hotel. Consists of one 5-storey building without an elevator. There is a small pool with a bar next to it. The pool deck chairs are free but old wooden ones. Not killed but shabby. A lot of bamboo has been used in the design of the hotel and rooms. That gives the hotel its charm. Quite good enough spacious rooms.

Small hotel. Consists of one 5-storey building without an elevator. There is a small pool with a bar next to it. The pool deck chairs are free but old wooden ones. Not killed but shabby. A lot of bamboo has been used in the design of the hotel and rooms. That gives the hotel its charm. Quite good enough spacious rooms. Standards are better not to take. This is a ground floor view of either the pool or the wall of a neighboring building. We lived in a deluxe room on the 5th floor, in my opinion the best option if you are relaxing together. No deposit is required upon check-in. The nicest people at the reception. The staff is smiling and relatively polite. But the staff does not speak Russian. Cleaned every day, towels were changed in the same way (three pieces per person), there are beach towels in a bag and rain umbrellas. Clothes dryer is ok. Shampoo, shower gel in small bottles, shower caps, cotton swabs, soap. Good modern TV. There is a kettle, tea and coffee set. The beds are comfortable, the TVs are equipped with Mac OS, which allows access to the Internet. Free safe, hair dryer, refrigerator. Free internet catches throughout the hotel including in the rooms. The speed was normal enough even for video communication. The downside of the room is that the bathroom is separated from the room by a glass wall, though there is a curtain. The door to the toilet is not solid at the bottom and 10 cm are cut off at the top. It is also not clear, but why it was done this way. Breakfasts are unpretentious monotonous several kinds of fruits, sausages, bacon, vegetables. Delicious croissants. Toast, butter. Very tasty local soup. In the restaurant at the hotel, the food is mediocre, they rarely ate there, despite the 20% discount as hotel guests. But there are a lot of places to eat, the hotel is in a very good place with a developed infrastructure, everything is near the hotel. And a good exchange office and a pharmacy, and even a little walk and a night market open two days a week. Shops and all. To the beach 5 minutes walk. The road is not annoying just to cross the busy roadway. But here you can’t get away from it, only a few very expensive hotels are located on the first line. We were looking for a hotel that is inexpensive and in a convenient location and this is a very good option. . For choosing a hotel, we thank Dmitry Kukin, an excellent tour specialist, they picked up the tour very quickly, spent 10 minutes and paid very conveniently, everything was done online. The man is well versed in the hotel base. Recomend for everybody. You can find his page on the VKontakte social network by the name of the last name, and that is how we contacted him. The hotel was very satisfied despite the little things and nuances.

Meals at the hotel are only breakfast and more is not needed at all. Good infrastructure near the hotel. Cafes, shops, etc. You can buy anything from fresh fruit to ready-made food and they will also warm it up. It's hard to recommend anything for cafes. We didn’t like the vaunted Veranda at all, and many write about it in reviews.

Meals at the hotel are only breakfast and more is not needed at all. Good infrastructure near the hotel. Cafes, shops, etc. You can buy anything from fresh fruit to ready-made food and they will also warm it up. It's hard to recommend anything for cafes. We didn’t like the vaunted Veranda at all, and many write about it in reviews. Well, in general, it's a matter of taste. In general, if you take a walk not towards the beach, but deep into, say, the third line, then the prices are lower there. Well, in general, whichever is more convenient. As for the breakfasts at the hotel, they are pretty monotonous, there is not much choice. In general, everything is well cooked and everything is edible. For breakfast, I’ll say that it’s good but not super) Well, in general, the price-quality is nothing to expect. The hotel will not be convenient for those who have a rest with children couples a good option. Why with children is not an option. Firstly, the rooms are not very large for two, more than enough space, but with a child, and even more so with two, it will be small. Secondly, the door to the toilet is not solid at the top and bottom, and there is a decent gap, and everything that happens is audible, and the glass wall in the bathroom will also not be the best option, but for couples, I think it’s okay. The beach is close to three hundred meters calmly walk in about five minutes. Beach towels will be provided by the hotel free of charge. If you go on excursions, then the lunch box is no problem and normal. The staff is generally very friendly and sociable. On our next trip, if we go alone without friends, we will choose this hotel because of the convenience and cost. In general, everything is fine! I recommend the hotel!

The hotel was chosen on the principle that the beach is close and where to eat so that it is nearby. The presence of the territory was not important as in principle, and the hotel has a pool, but it is small and we did not swim in it. The whole hotel is clean, everything is decorated with bamboo. But the hotel itself is small.

The hotel was chosen on the principle that the beach is close and where to eat so that it is nearby. The presence of the territory was not important as in principle, and the hotel has a pool, but it is small and we did not swim in it. The whole hotel is clean, everything is decorated with bamboo. But the hotel itself is small. But the beach is well located, a five-minute walk away, there are plenty of options for cafes where to eat, plus a night market operates twice a week, and the hotel gave a twenty percent discount on the restaurant. Breakfast was included in the tour and the breakfasts were very good. For breakfast, different dishes from eggs, noodles with chicken, stewed vegetables, toast jams, sliced ham. Everything edible is enough for a hearty breakfast. The room is quite spacious, the only thing that can be said is uncomfortable in the room is the bathroom behind glass and a strong audibility from it, but good furniture is cleaned daily with high quality. Daily water and tea-coffee set and bath set are all replenished. Never needed to be reminded. The staff is adequate and friendly. Another plus of the hotel is that wi-fi is free and catches very well. . This, besides the price, was probably one of the important points, and so on Karon. In terms of price-quality ratio, the hotel can be safely put five plus, but in general it is a good C grade. It's also good that they don't take a deposit when you check in. And it's a pity that there is no cheese at all for breakfast. But a good selection of fruits. It is also very convenient that there is a tuk tuk parking next to the hotel and you can cheaply go to Patong, be sure to bargain for a discount of up to 25%. In general, if you are planning an inexpensive vacation without children, then this hotel will be a good budget option for you!

A good option for a holiday in two or with friends. Although it is possible with children. But more suitable for youth recreation. The beach is about 300 meters away. On the beach, you can easily rent umbrellas and mattresses. Lots of water activities. Pretty clean sand, so to speak, sings) It makes no sense to describe the beach in more detail.

On the beach, you can easily rent umbrellas and mattresses. Lots of water activities. Pretty clean sand, so to speak, sings) It makes no sense to describe the beach in more detail. We drove to the hotel for 40-50 minutes, we didn’t exactly spot it. It takes fifteen minutes to get to Patong Beach. Near the market and plenty of places to eat. The hotel has good breakfasts. And if you use the hotel restaurant, then for those living in it there is a fifteen percent discount on all dishes, but if you just take drinks without food, there is no discount. Cooking delicious! The hotel has a small area. But there is a pool, albeit a small one. Works from nine to six in the evening. The sunbeds are not new but acceptable. Plus a pool bar but drinks are expensive to take there. The pool is clean. Water is changed daily in the hotel everywhere is clean. Another great plus of the hotel is free Wi-Fi both in the room and on site. And another distinguishing feature of the hotel is the price tag for living in it. . I can say that the accommodation is very good. The room may need some minor redecoration, but overall it's very good. They brought free water. Normal soundproofing you can't hear the street when the windows are closed. Good furniture, comfortable bed. Cleaning for four points, but everything is replenished without delay. There is a safe. In general, everything is as it should be. I think that the hotel is a good and not expensive option!

Sea and beach. It's a five or seven minute walk to the beach. The beach is good. Renting a mattress and an umbrella is not a problem. Water activities are full for every taste. The sand crunches underfoot, and by the way, a lot has been written about the beach, so it’s more about the hotel. The room is good and clean.

The sand crunches underfoot, and by the way, a lot has been written about the beach, so it’s more about the hotel. The room is good and clean. May need minor cosmetic repairs but not significant. Furniture is normal. Large double bed. They put water daily. There is a kettle, a couple of bowls and a couple of glasses. Replenish coffee tea. Shower set in the shower. In addition to beach towels, I also provide a beach bag. There is an umbrella. Safe. Cleaning daily every other day wet. The bed was changed every three days. The hotel has a small area. But there is a small pool. Internet is good throughout. Breakfasts are hearty and delicious. On a buffet basis. Duck with vegetables, scrambled eggs, potatoes, rice. Fruit, a couple of types of jam, and so on. Near the hotel is full of stalls, shops, cafes. I think that the cost of the hotel is justified in relation to comfort. I recommend the hotel to everyone, even for families, even for young people.

Without preamble and in order) And I'll start with food) Excellent buffet breakfasts. Eggs, potatoes, rice, very well cooked duck fillet, vegetables, yoghurts, jams, milk, waffles, pancakes. Yes, it’s okay to have a hearty breakfast more than at home) There were few fruits. Papaya, pineapple, watermelon.

Yes, it’s okay to have a hearty breakfast more than at home) There were few fruits. Papaya, pineapple, watermelon. But on the way to the sea, you can always buy more fruit. There are many cafes where to eat the price, in principle, is not much different. In the mornings at the hotel, I really liked the cool bean coffee. Not one cafe nearby did not do better. For massage lovers, there are plenty of salons nearby. Lots of small shops. Going anywhere for the first few days, they were afraid of their movements, but on the third day they got used to nothing particularly terrible. To the beach, crawling from the strength of about seven minutes. The beach is clean, the sand is pleasant and crunches interestingly under your feet. There were waves but small swimmers do not interfere. We rode jet skis on the beach. The beach is wide with a few people, well, it seems so because there is enough space) We rented an umbrella right on the beach. So we were happy with the beach. In general, the rest was a success and the price turned out very well. With regards to excursions, they also took it from a local company on the way to the beach and at an affordable price and liked the service, but here I don’t recommend a large choice, let everyone decide for themselves) Now, about accommodation, well, I liked the room, everything is usually nothing that I didn’t like. Furniture as furniture cleaning is ok. Everything is very neat and clean. Neighbors are not heard. Yes, and spent time in the room very little, in fact, only nights. During the day, so there is something to do and where to visit. I rate the hotel as excellent, and by the way, our entire vacation too!

Excellent hotel!!
Rested with my husband and a couple (24.25, 28.38 years old)
I would put 5 in general! This is not the first time in Phuket and there is something to compare with.
Everything is in order.
The hotel is located on the Central street of Karon, not far from the ring. Walk to the sea for 5 minutes slowly.
All cafes, massage parlors, the market - nearby!
The hotel is new, the rooms are clean and very comfortable.
There are cameras everywhere (which is very important for a comfortable stay, there is a bitter experience with theft at the Karon Princess Hotel)
The staff is very smiling and friendly.
There is (! ) free Wi-Fi in the room. Large plasma TV. Low beds, very unusual))
The food is the same as everywhere else. Omelettes, fruit, cereal. . . etc.
The disadvantages include perhaps a small pool and lack of territory, but this does not spoil the overall impression at all.
For a trio, this is great!
I will definitely return to this hotel again and will recommend it to all my friends.

Phuket (3.04. 2011-16.04. 2011)
A week before the holiday, a cyclone hovered over Thailand and in the south of the country there were heavy rains, uncharacteristic for April. "Washed away" the island of Koh Samui, and according to weather forecasts, the element was heading towards the island of Phuket. I had terrible panic. Negotiations with the tour operator (Pegas Tourist) about changing the resort or departure date did not lead to anything. Despite official warnings from the Ministry of Tourism to refrain from traveling to Thailand, the tour operator offered nothing but a complete replacement of the tour package with a 100% fine. Friends said: "Leave the children at home, and bring down wherever you want. " Panic smelled in the media and forums. But soberly realizing that it was time for the cyclone to dissipate, we set off with the whole family: me, my husband and two children. Looking ahead, I’ll say that throughout our vacation the weather was wonderful, and it rained 2-3 times and then late in the evening.
Planning a vacation and looking all over the Internet, I thought what places to visit in Phuket with small children? At a minimum, this is a water park, a zoo, an aquarium, a beach. And here is the maximum. . .
The first day. (03.04. 11)
Pegasus worked (met) honestly, despite the fact that the first meeting with his representative happened at the airport in Thailand (booking and paying for the tour via the Internet). At the exit from the airport, the Pegasus counter is clearly visible, behind which its employees quickly distribute arrivals to buses. Here at the airport, you can take a free SIM card, which is not expensive to talk with your homeland, as well as exchange currency (the exchange rate is unfavorable). Several buses were already waiting for us in the parking lot. Local guides are surprised by the news from the media writing about the flood: “What flood? We had rain. "
Our Bamboo House Hotel is located on Karon Beach. We were greeted with iced drinks at the hotel. The hotel building is 4 floors, small, well-groomed. The territory is practically absent, it is clamped by the pool. We were settled on the first floor, in two neighboring double rooms (the tour operator did not find budget four-bed offers). The first floor is a big plus in a hotel without an elevator. The windows overlook the neighboring hotel Centara. There is a TV in the room, a Mac connected to the TV. Snow-white sheets and towels (towels were changed every day, bedding every other day or two), beach towels in a convenient bag (change at least every day, dirty towels in the bag were put out in the corridor, clean ones were taken away), shampoo, shower gel, hair conditioner , everything is as it should be, only there are no usual combs and dental accessories. There is a safe and a small chest of drawers in the closet. Pleasantly surprised by two umbrellas, which were never needed. Every day replenished: 2 bottles of water, tea, coffee, sugar, cream. If you need to iron something, an iron and a small ironing board will be brought to the room. Free internet in the room! It was possible to rent a stroller for Dima, but he is an independent guy with us - he went everywhere on foot. Cons: uncomfortably low beds and lack of armchairs with a table (they managed with an ottoman); lack of balconies (things were dried on the crossbars outside the window).
We checked into the hotel and went to eat. We had lunch at a nearby eatery (some cafes are closed during the day) chicken noodle soup, spaghetti, sandwiches with french fries, juice, tea - only 480 baht.
We immediately went to the sea, the children enthusiastically ran from the waves they saw for the first time, swam. The sand really sings.
In the evening meeting with Pegasus guide. Valentina was very successful in selling tours to beginners at prices 2-3 times higher than local market offers. Since we had already studied the market of excursions at home, we already knew approximately the prices and did not fall for her proposals, which we did not regret at all. So a one-day excursion to Phi Phi Pegas offers for 3300 baht per adult. We, without much bargaining, paid 3.500 baht in a local tour shop for two adults and one child (for two-year-old Dima, all excursions were free).

The positive things about this hotel are:
1. Good territorial location (in relation to shops and parties).
2. Nice spacious rooms with wooden floors.
3. Great service. Friendly staff.
4. The presence of a computer in the room with the Internet plus VI-FI for your netbook.
Now the disadvantages:
1. Beds are low, get up either squatting or kneeling. It is very inconvenient for older people.
2. With a large room, there is no table and chairs, only one ottoman. While the wife is at the mirror, you don’t know where to sit (low on the bed).
3. There is no own territory at all. There is simply nowhere to sit with friends (play cards or drink something of your own).
4. The rooms are damp (at least on the 1st floor)
5. If the room overlooks the pool where the water overflows (people said) you always want to go to the toilet because there is no soundproofing from the murmur.
6. Our room overlooked a small garden 3 meters wide and then a high fence, fortunately from a boombox, otherwise it would be completely dreary.
7. The air conditioner makes a lot of noise. We tried to sleep without him with an open window, but when the neighbors appeared and turned on theirs (the part that hangs on the street roars even louder) I had to choose the lesser of two evils.
The breakfast was surprisingly limited. 4 types of scrambled eggs with bacon or sausages and that's it. Of course fruits. But it's still bad.
You can stay at the hotel for 1-3 days, no more.
