The hotel is conveniently located near Karon Beach and there are quite a few food options within walking distance. It is also closed to the bus route, with one bus going to the airport (it takes about two hours).

The breakfast buffet is great, with a broad range of food choices, savory and sweet. The swimming pool in our block was great (it opens at 7am and closes at 8pm). It was a shame the gym was under refurbishment and not available.

We experienced a few issues during our stay, but they were all taken care of quickly by the friendly staff.

I would not recommend the spa ans massage services at this hotel. They overcharged us twice relative to the prices they first gave us, and they did a terrible job on my husband’s pedicure.

Fun stay in Karon Beach

My friend and I started our Thailand stay here and loved our experience. The hotel itself was really cute, our room was spacious and we loved having the balcony that overlooked a bit of the city. The hotel is right at the beach, with many restaurants, bars, convenience stores, and shops around and so many friendly locals. All the workers were kind and helpful. The room had great ac, it was so strong so it got pretty cold at night. The beds were very firm and only had one comforter and no sheets, we would’ve loved a bit cozier of beds and maybe another blanket but we still slept well. Our sheets were clean but did have some pen markings on them and the bathrooms were a bit run down but did the job for the affordable price. We honestly loved our experience here and were sad to leave but highly recommend for young travelers on a budget who want to spend time at the beach, meet locals and explore different bars/shops/restaurants etc.

The hotel.is wonderful. Check-in staff were extremely pleasant and friendly. They offer luggage storage and can accommodate anything you might need. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful. The only complaint is that they are extremely strict with the 'no take away' policy, meaning you cannot take anything from the breakfast area. If you are in a hurry and want to make a sandwich to go, it is not allowed. It is not even allowable to fill a water bottle. We witnessed several situations where the staff was so strict that they even made people dump the food or water in trash rather than taking from the dinning area. The constant monitoring made it a bit uncomfortable . Otherwise, the hotel is great and perfect location.

Only good thing about this hotel was its location. We booked 2 rooms for our family for 2 nights. First night was terrible, because one room smelled like sewerage and toilet was constantly clogged. Hotel staff unclogged the toilet twice, but the stench didn’t go away. We asked to switch room but we had to wait till the next day. We contacted the hotel booking website assistant to help, when the hotels.com called the hotel, the hotel staff told her that the manager was not there and that I would have to wait because he would come tomorrow, and told they already solved the problem, which was a lie. They didn’t do anything about the smell. We opened the balcony, turned on ac, opened the door and waited to get rid off the smell, nothing worked, and the smell gave us headache. We couldn’t stay in that room that day.The next day when we came to the reception desk to ask switch room, the manager was the manager from the previous day. they just lied to hotels.com and they also didn’t give refund for that room. We requested that smelly room’s 1 night refund, but the hotel said they couldn’t give refund because of the policy.
and in reality, this hotel is not as shown in the photo and description. Room were dirty, towels and bed sheets had spots, furnitures were old and not clean, bathroom looked dirty, shower was bad. This hotel has 3 blocks, and there is only one reception desk and hotel staffs there where helpless. There are much better options in Karon with lower or same price.

This is a resort used Russian travel agency Pegus in an area of Phuket frequented by a lot of Russians, but contrary to previous reviews they were a nice, friendly group.

Location was definitely the best point

Overall we didn’t have a terrible stay but don’t think we would stay there again. Rooms were presented ok. Bed hard but comfortable, nice view of the mountains and Big Buddha from back balcony and room was clean so I’ll give them that. Shower was terrible though, no pressure and sometimes wouldn’t heat up at all plus had a bit of mould. Breakfast was basic but not terrible, ate out a bit just for a change. The main thing that annoyed me was that the hotel advertised to have a pool bar plus a swim up bar but when we arrived it had neither as were both conveniently closed for renovation. Not overly thrilled by that as was 1 thing I was looking forward to but pools were nice for a swim.

Very dirty and helpless staffs

Only thing good about the hotel was that it was close to beach. Other than that hotel staffs where rude and helpless. They didn’t receive our booking in the first place and ended up putting us in a smaller room even tho we told them that we paid already for bigger room. They told us rooms where full so the only available room was the small room( which was a lie ofcourse). We couldn’t cancel our booking due to expedias policy and ended up staying 3days. The bed sheets where sooo dirty that it smelled and also had lots of dark spots. Our sink was clogged and we told the staff to check it up but no one showed up. Also our room was on top of the pool so it made really loud machine sound during the night that we couldn’t sleep at all. I wouldn’t recommend this hotel at all.

Booked a double delux room in this hotel the room they gave us was in the last block of hotel with 2 single beds, cracks right up walls cracks in all the tiles and not very clean. Went to reception to ask about our delux room they gave us another room which was exactly the same with double bed. Balcony was covered in rust and not big enough to sit out. Breakfast was disgusting luke warm food which we tried once. This hotel is like going back in time and we wont be booking it again.

Russian tour operator only hotel - best avoided

This was the worst hotel experience I have had in Thailand. The hotel is set up to service only Russian tourists. I would advise that if you are not Russian stay away from this hotel. Even the staff will make it clear that you should not be there. The promised cable tv is mostly russian channels. Even the available Thai channels dont include the free to air channels. During the stay 1 Thai channel was replaced
by an additional Russian channel. The
reception staff were somewhat rude as well which is very unusual for any hotel in Thailand. The towels in the room were replaced on 2 occassions with towels that were dirty. We abandonded the hotel 1 day early. The reception staff at that point didnt care why, the only relevant item was that they would not refund the extra day, which i hadnt ask them to do anyway.
There are much better options in Karon and alot of those at a lower price. This hotel is a rip off. Apart from that its close to a nice beach it has nothing else that it is good for. The bed is also very close to sleeping on a board as it is so hard. I could provide further details that made the experience unpleasant but i think i have said enough

Average Hotel for an average experience.

Upon arrival staff were not the friendliest and check in was not smooth and easy.

The room was ok if everything worked as was clean, but the sheets had stains, the walls has marks and splash marks. The safe didn't work, neither did the phone, half the lights also. The bed was quite hard so I was aching most of the time.

The amenities around the hotel are great. Great massage, great resturant down by building 4 with lovely staff. The hotel amenities werent so great. The pool bar was closed, one of the pools was closed, the pool table was unavailble and there was no jacuzzi I could see.

The breakfast was good, however you had to be early to get the good pastries because once they ran out they did not refill which I think is lame.

The hotel is catered for Russians, so if you aren't Russian, get used to spending your time with them, and they will speak to
you in Russian also. All the signs are in Russian and there is even Russian TV. Not the greatest for the other travellers like me.

Lastly, on check out - the reception would not phone us a taxi or arrange a shuttle for us - although I'm pretty sure on the website it says shuttle to airport provided. They expected us to flag one down in the street for rip off prices.

So in conclusion - for the price, it's ok, but really I would suggest just paying more for a more enjoyable experience.

Aussie experience

Location is ideal (right across the road from the beach). The beach extends for miles in both directions, you can pay 100B for a lounge chair or use a towel on the sand for free. The mattresses on the beds are super hard. Rooms are very clean. Good sized fridge (keeps drinks very cold). Good air conditioning. Two large bottles of water in room daily/tea/coffee, etc. Plenty of towels for general & beach/pool (hotel has 3 pools). Buffet breakfast (included in room price) is quite good, plenty of choices. We had 10 days from 1st Jan 13 - the hotel was 90% occupied by Russians (owned by Russians) whose culture is very different to Australians (no greetings, no eye contact, pushy)- Ruins the experience somewhat. Plenty of restaurants within a 5min walk, day/night market 10min walk. Walk further towards Patong for more shopping and night life & Aussie Bars. Tuk Tuk to Patong 400B - great for singles, night life & shopping. Metered taxi at airport was 600B to hotel. Unmetered from hotel to airport 1200B. Bargain hard, walk away lots.

Warning from an experienced traveller

Without a doubt the worst accomodation and service we have seen to date. We arrived on time and were asked to wait 30 minutes for a room. The staff offered no explanation or apology. We finally got in to find it had barely been cleaned. The facilities are extremely dated and they are very selective with photos. The gym had 3 cardio machines, 2 of which were broken and a 10kg ser of rusted dumbells. In the room itself the sitcom unit is placed directly over the bed. Your choice is to have it freeze you even on a warm setting or sweat it out. We had dinner in the restaurant the first night and 20 minutes after my wifes dinner came mine didn't show. They kept saying 5 more minutes so in the end we paid for what we received and left. The bell hops are very helpful but the front desk ignore people even when they are spoken to directly and had very poor English; especially for a Thai resort for foreigners. At one point 4 staff just sat there as the line built up.The breakfast buffet had a live cockroach crawling around it. When we checked out the taxi driver tried the old no meter overcharge on the fare, we said no and asked the desk to call a taxi, they refused and said they wouldn't help. With further questioning it was apparent thy had an arrangement with the drivers. Having stayed at 5 other hotels in 5 countries over the month this was the low point. Do not stay here unless you are expecting a backpackers equivalent.

Beliggenhed perfekt, ok ift. hotel

Generelt er hotellets placering rigtig godt ift. det er tæt på strand, restuaranter, massagesteder m.fl. Rengøringsdamen den ene var rigtig god, men den anden (mandlig) sjusker sig bare frem. Og det er tydeligt at sengetøjet ikke bliver vasket i 60 eller 90 grader for flere gange fik jeg snavset sengetøj med pletter af alle former, den ene gang hvor man kan se nogen har tegnet (sikkert børn) så der var streger i sengetøjet, og første nat hvor jeg ankom meget sent var der pletter i sengetøjet, noget der ligner tis. Den del kunne være meget bedre. Morgen mad er Ok men ikke vildt, man skal sikre at være der god tid ellers er der mange ting der er løbet tør.
Jeg oplevede ikke poolen som viste sig at være på rooftop. Rigtig mange russere, at personalet bare antog at man skal snakkes til én på russisk, det var en mærkelig oplevelse.
