First & Last Time - Stay at your own risk!
This is the hotel that I saw few years ago when I visited Phuket. It is located at a very convenient location, in the Jungceylon Shopping Mall. For this 3D2N trip, I was planning to have a free & easy leisure trip where there is no specific agenda except a dinner with friends near Laguna Bangtao Beach (an hour journey from Patong beach). I thought I could just wake up freely & go around Patong beach to enjoy the nice beach scenery while having the local streetfood. Indeed, the first night I walked across the street, there was a nice night streetfood market to satisfy my craving for Thai food.
I had quite a high expectation towards this hotel as it looks great exteriorly & really convenient. The interior design of the guestroom looks "weird & scary". Outside the corridor also have several sofa covered with all sorts of soft toys as the sofa cover (looks scarier like hundreds of eyes are looking at you you will feel the "special aura" with goosebumps near this area). I don't even dare to take photo of it. Basic coffee/tea m/water & bathroom amenities were provided (not economical friendly packaging). But the room has a "weird smell" to welcome you as the air-con was not switch on, there is no air ventilation nor freshness in the room IF you never insert the one and only keycard they provided (pay THB1,000 if you lost it).
The nightmare started since the first night. Can you imagine your doorbell was rang nonstop at 2am & knocking my door? I dare not walk towards the door as I was alone and the door latch was broken. Followed by a phone rang nonstop 2+am, then 3+am, 4+am, 5+am... It was like an hourly wake up call. This is ridiculous & unbearable! I was too tired & ignored it. I "believe" it was the "special service offers" since I was in this vicinity. Finally, I can have a peaceful sleep after the "last wake up call at 5+am".
The most frustration part was that I shared this unpleasant feedback to the Receptionist the next day morning. I asked if any guests can dial from room to other room. She said "no, only to/from Reception". Then I repeated the issue again to her. The was no empathy nor apologetic from her. She just simply replied immediately "oh, maybe the phone was broken". In my mind was thinking, why the phone was only rang midnight from 2-5+am? Either there is "special spirit" disturbing me OR the "special service provider" was hunting during that time? Furthermore, there is no Security where anyone can enter the hotel & walk up to second floor freely (all rooms are located at second floor).
*Do not disturb the Reception in the early morning (7am) as she was busy watching video with half-close restless eyes. And if you are checking out during that time, when you handover the keycard, she will just take it & the end of the story. She will never tell/ask you anything IF you never start the conversation. So pity her, she looks very tired & the video that she was watching was unable to energise her...
Will I stay for the second time?
- Definitely NO, even it is for free
Will I recommend to others?
- Definitely NO, sorry... stay at your own risk
What a pity & waste for such a great location! A great maintenance & tight security would definitely improve the overall experience.

A 2.5 star hotel
This property is nothing like described. It has no pool, no restaraunt and certainly not recently renovated. The rooms leak the paint is falling off the walls. Our televion had no channels that were watchable even after they changed the television

Nice hotel, friendly staff but the air con didn’t work.
Lovely hotel, bit the air con didn’t work. Every night they were coming to repair it but still didn’t work. The staff is nice.
1am renovations for hours. Last for months TV faulty
1am renovations. Staff no inform us at all. We all awake up the super loud renovation that happens for hours in the middle of the night. Staff says the shopping mall renovations during the midnight. Guess would be there for months.
TV faulty. Deluxe 35m2 no bathtub .
Location is good. But when you won't be able to sleep with midnight renovation for a long period. Staff is friendly. No breakfast provided. One lift. Corridor very hot.
