The place was filthy the aircon takes a whole hour to get cold enough so you can rest peacefully and even then you can’t control the room temp on your own accord. Mould on the ceiling mould on the bed frame and the mattress was as solid as a rock. I booked for 4 nights stayed one night then bailed with no refund that’s how bad it was. Staff are not to blame the owner is wouldn’t recommended to anyone

If you’re planning to enjoy a vibrant party scene throughout the day and night and just need a cozy room to rest and freshen up, this hotel could be a great fit for you. Just note that it’s about a 15-20 minute walk from the beach activities, so renting a moped would be a convenient option to easily explore the area.

Booked on a whim just before heading off for what was to be a recharge 10 days away, at first I was what have I done, then I remembered, for me it was relatively cheap at 800 Thai Bhat per night. You really do get more than what you pay for, staff are great, 24/7 front desk, convenient scooter hire, you are at least 15 min walk to the beach, walking is healthy and by walking you get to see so much more of Phuket.

So park your expectations, lower your budget, stay in the back streets of Pa Tong and I guarantee you will see and do things you would never have done should you have booked in a $100+ per night resort.

Travelling is about experiencing local culture and people, at Forty Winks you can't not do this. I will be back. Also I highly recommend eating at the fresh food markets each night down the street, you cannot go wrong here, if you're worried about getting an upset stomach just be sensible in your choices, ask them to cook it well. It's the freshest padthai I have ever had and for only 80BHT what can you say but \"I'll have another thanks\".

(my only real complaint would be the bed was very firm.. .but that's just for sleeping anyway)

Cozy Hotel at a very busy street

Hotel was cozy. Booked 3 Deluxe rooms with Bike. Room was musty smell and air-con was not very cool for my room (RM404). Other 2 rooms seemed to be fine.
Basic breakfast with helpful waiting staff. Front Office staff were helpful too.
Swimming pool more like a dipping pool. Limited sunbeds.
All in all, a cozy stay. If you are looking for luxurious amenities, this hotel is not for you.

It was worth the money for a budget hotel. Room was clean, towels were clean. Convenient location. Not very noisy like other hotels that's a long the road. Massage, 7-Eleven was just next door. Everything iis at a walking distance. Small room but cannot expect much from a budget hotel. Will definitely come back to Forty Winks Phuket.

Decent hotel in Patong

Decent place to stay. Clean, with a small pool and close to shopping centre and party places in Patong. The pool is a bit too small. The street the hotel is on (Nanai Rd) is a too squeezed and you could hear traffic from the room if you stay on the lower floors. Generally, its a decent hotel with great breakfast, if you're on a tight budget or you missed out a chance to accommodation in on of Patong's resorts during the high season.

Very Nice in a Central location

I found this hotel to be very nice and clean. Not super fancy but you can tell it had been redone and was comfortable. Even though it is very close to things its was pretty quiet and calm( even with a little street construction during my stay). Not super close to the beach but I found a couple nice places to eat (a noodle soup place right on the corner) and some bars right down the street that were a quiet place to have a drink as opposed to the craziness of Bangala rd.
Overall I enjoyed my stay here.

Cute little hotel tucked away on busy Nanai Road

We were very happy with our time at Forty Winks Hotel, Phuket. The staff were absolutely beautiful, the pool is lovely and our room was clean. Very easy to navigate around Phuket from this spot, a little out of the way but nice to escape the more touristy accommodation. Our room was small, but excellent value for money.

Nice budget hotel on Nanai Rd with good services

Hotel is good and nicely maintained. The location is on a busy road so it is easy to get a TukTuk but rather noisy at night.

Room was clean and nice except for the toilet which is slightly moldy and the toilet bowl cover was stained and misaligned. Balcony is slightly small but I have never used them.

Pool is good and nice, reception is open till late and safe.

It is near to Jungceylon and market/night food bazaar but rather far from Patong beach. Beach towel provided is good too!

Not bad small hotel 3 1/2 out of 5

Although hotel has great reviews and most them are correct . It's clean , comfortable bed , close to shopping mall ( 3-5 min walk ) and beach (8-10 min walk ) or plenty moped taxi to anywhere in town for negotiated max 50 baht

Couple things to be aware off

1st is pool is very small but adequate for plunge to cool off and only has 4 Sun loungers ( no room for any more ) so gets busy 4pm ish time when folk come back from a trip and want to cool off

2nd is outside hotels control but take ear plugs with you as hotels right on main road and you hear mopeds 18-20 hours of the day and my room overlooked side street that had a dog barking at all times of day and night

3rd is that breakfast is very much more set up for Asian taste and gets a bit repetitive after a weeks stay ( cereal, toast , eggs and fruit ) . They also don't put large portion out , but then top it up so you might have to wait or ask staff . But there are plenty places to eat out for breakfast if you get bored

Hotel is fine for the price. Clean, quiet and you get what you pay for without any hidden cost. Pool is too small to swim. Breakfast for Bt150 is good value, though the menu is very similar for each day. A little far from the beach; 18 minute stroll.

Close to everything and clean

Awesome location. Easy walk to the mall, night markets, boxing stadium, bangla night road and the beach. Don't bother with the breakfast, get something near by. Also, the beds are really firm so if you don't like a firm bed, don't stay here and if your pillow is also firm, you can ask them to replace them with a softer one to make you more comfortable. Perfect place to stay when you just need a place to crash, close to everything and clean!

Nice hotel, don't book anything from reception

We had a wonderful stay in this hotel until it was time to leave. Yes the room is a little on the small side, however it is clean and feels brand new so for the money it was worth it
The issue is if the lady at the front desk asks you about tours or taxis decline and go to any other agency in the area.
She organized us a taxi to the airport and when the driver arrived (as she was not there) he tried to charge us more and then became very obnoxious when I advised we where told a different price. You pay me up now he yelled and then what country are you from.
He then rang the lady from reception and she confirmed the price. My point they obviously know each other so she set us up to be abused by this man. In the end I told him to go and we would get our own taxi.

Franchement, l’expérience était assez particulière. Le personnel n’est pas désagréable, mais l’accueil est un peu étrange : on vous présente longuement un carnet avec beaucoup de règles à respecter, ce qui donne une première impression assez rigide.
Les chambres sont correctes, mais j’ai eu un vrai problème avec la climatisation : malgré son fonctionnement en continu, la température restait autour de 28 degrés. On m’a demandé de laisser la clé dans la chambre, qui s’est ensuite retrouvée verrouillée à l’intérieur sans double disponible, ce qui a compliqué la situation.
Concernant le parking, il est annoncé mais il y a très peu de places disponibles devant l’hôtel. Pour deux nuits, cela reste supportable, mais c’était suffisant pour moi.
