There was a man who stood at the hotel entrance every day, constantly expecting tips from guests. I felt uncomfortable because it seemed like he was imposing on people for money. If you didn’t tip him, he ignored you completely. I found myself avoiding the entrance just to avoid being pressured.

Very well maintained hotel. My deluxe room was spacious, with both a bath and shower. Balcony with table and chairs and very thoughtful drying line for towels and bathers. Also provided two chairs and a table in the room, a working safety deposit box and TV with many choice for channels. Housekeeping daily with fresh towels and sheets. Pool area was cleaned daily and the pool water was a very comfortable temperature. The hotel is situauted in the perfect area of Kata Beach only a very short walk to the night market, bus stop and South end of the beach.
I highly recommend this hotel for all of the above reasons at a very reasonable rate.

The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The hotel itself is in a very nice neighborhood- ~ 5 minutes walk to Kata beach. The only thing that bugged me was that the room was severely dim light- not nearly enough light even with all the lights on (both in the room and the bathrooom). The management has to put in some effort to do some upkeep in this regard.

Overall, a really good deal. I’d highly recommend the stay

I had an amazing stay at Kata Poolside Resort! The location is perfect—just a short walk to Kata Beach, shops, and restaurants, yet still tucked away enough to feel peaceful and relaxing. The pool is a highlight: clean, well-maintained, and surrounded by plenty of loungers, making it the perfect spot to unwind.

The rooms were spacious, comfortable, and kept spotless throughout my stay. I especially appreciated the balcony and the overall cozy atmosphere. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, always going out of their way to make sure everything was taken care of. Their hospitality truly made me feel welcome.

The on-site restaurant served delicious food at reasonable prices, and it was so convenient to have the option of dining right at the resort. Between the great service, comfortable rooms, and unbeatable location, Kata Poolside Resort exceeded my expectations.

I highly recommend this resort to anyone visiting Kata Beach—you won’t be disappointed!

This property was a great find. All 3 of us loved it. Getting around was so easy and affordable. Small enough to be personal but big enough to have all the facilities. Rooms spacious and clean, pool beautiful, and the Lobster and Prawn Restaurant, which is adjacent, has a well priced varied menu. Oi and the staff were so pleasent and helpful too. We definitely look forward to coming back again!

Well located good hotel with spacious rooms and a nice swimming pool near Kata beach. The staff was accommodating after an initial mix up in the choice of beds. The bathroom was pretty good too, with both a bathtub and shower. Maybe it could have been litten up a bit better.
Well located to access the beach, restaurants or the Kata Walking Street for food in the evening a bit further North of the hotel. Overall a very good short stay in this hotel

Kata Poolside Resort

Great value for money. Location very good just 5 mins walk to beach. Plenty of restaurants in close walking distance. The restaurant at front of hotel was superb. Packed every night and very reasonable prices. Only negative comment is they have a pool bar but obviously never used. Staff were very friendly and the room we had - deluxe pool view was newly renovated and the important thing, the bed was very comfortable.

Perfect for Mid Priced hotel

Not the swankiest hotel but great for the price and location if you want to be smack dab in the middle of everything. That said, it is recessed, so actually very quiet at night. The pool is gorgeous and pristine clean, very good service which is the standard in Thailand. We were very comfortable here. Especially since there was a ladder directly into the pool from our poolside balcony!

Great location for restaurants, shops & beach.

Nice hotel in the centre of Kata.
No nice views from the rooms, unless you're overlooking the pool.
A few metres down a side road off the main high street of Kata. A very busy, lively area. just a few hundreds metres from the beach.
Small, clean and tidy pool.
Mattress was firm which wasn't great for my back but the room and hotel was clean and tidy. Lovely helpful staff.

I’ve stayed here a few times and have always had a great time and service. I usually book a Saturday night when I go dancing with friends at the Palm! Safer not to drive home. However, on my last visit, I was visiting with a friend meeting me for dinner/dancing. He was there at check-in counter when I arrived, and after we had breakfast on the premises, my friend was also there at the front counter for check-out. I sat in my car for about 10mins after check out to check my messages. An employee accosted me at my car and demanded a copy of the passport of my friend: who was there at check in (and also asked to provide his ID and staff declined), at breakfast and check-out process. I have no idea why on earth they would bang on my car window to demand the passport copy of someone who’s not present?! Very confused. I’ve had a few good stays there and like the location and have recommended it to many people. After this, not sure if a repeat stay is in the future. My son likes it there. Manager was no help with my complaint of harassment.

Great resort, excellent restaurant manager

Excellent little resort and the restaurant manager was fantastic, went above and beyond to help with food allergies and recommending food. Would recommend to anyone staying in Kata, very close to the beach and lovely quite pool area.

The staff and management team amazing , rooms are cleaned daily, the food in there restraunt is 4 star quality , if you get stuck in a situation, the staff are quick to sort it out , over all if you’ve never been to Phuket, Thailand do yourself a favour book a ticket and go and explore, the culture is amazing the people are beautiful , it truly is the land of smiles , I’m going back in six months.

Excellent would recommend staying here

I recently stayed at the hotel for 10 nights in a room with direct access to the pool and a terrace. Room was lovely and good value.
Everywhere clean and tidy.
The two ladies on reception were both extremely helpful during my stay ( one of the ladies even let me use her own personal mobile to contact Thai air as I only had a uk mobile which would have been charged at an expensive rate)
I would definitely stay here again it was a lovely haven as kata was far busier than I expected. Thank you to everybody at the hotel who contributed to making my stay so enjoyable

Centralt, rummeligt og velholdt hotel

Vi havde 2 ugers skønt ophold på dette hotel, hvor værelserne var virkelig store, pæne og rene. Skøn pool, dog kunne det ønskes, at poolbaren var åbent bare en time om dagen. God morgenmad og virkelig sød og venlig staff, og så lå det så centralt, som det overhovedet var muligt med kort gåafstand til strand, by mm. Kan varmt anbefales!

I stayed a whole week. I wish I could give 5-stars, but there were issues. PROS: Clean, quiet property, excellent housekeeping staff, comfy bed, strong air con & hot water, tons of dining & shopping options nearby. CONS: The power was out for an entire day, and the last 2 days the water turned brown, disgusting! After a week of tipping staff, I requested to checkout just one hour late and was told \"No.\" Btw, nearly everyone staying at this hotel was Russian and they are not the friendliest folks.

Great Value

Hotel is right off the busy Kata Road but offers peace and calm as it's blocked by the roadside restaurant.

Service is good. Hotel is clean and reasonably priced. Check in and out was fast and easy.

The beach is literally across the street and less than a 5 minute walk away.

Stayed here for 4 nights whilst travelling around Phucket. Loved the hotel and its location just set off the busy road. Perfectly located for the beach and transport links. Tons of bars/shops/restaurants and markets in the vicinity. Hotel was Friendly, clean and tidy with a delightful pool. We booked a pool view room and were delighted with our choice having seen the other rooms. Great restaurant too.

Some of the room facilities were lacking - kettle and cup but you need to bring/buy your own tea, sugar etc. Also no minibar in room as it’s ‘in reception’. Very young staff who aren’t always able to help with questions and no sign of manager despite asking twice to speak to someone. Pool is great but need to enclose/cover an area that a choke could fall into!!

Pleasant stay in Phuket

The hotel is pretty good. Especially, with such price. The room is big, clean. There was a wardrobe with few hangers. It could be more, but that's okay.
Cleaning was done every day, few times if you request so. Free water was provided.
There is a swimming pool on a territory, but I never used it, cuz a beach is really close, so you must be too lazy to give up on getting there;) anyway, the swimming pool is clean, water doesn't have chemical smell.
All the staff is very friendly and helpful. You do feel like at home :))
Hotel is surrounded by restaurants and shops. There is a currency exchange kiosk nearby with really good rates. Kata Beach is 3 minutes walk. Karon Beach is further, around 20 minutes down the street.

The room was quite spacious with a small veranda. The air conditioning and shower worked well.
The restaurant was quite expensive even with our 20% guest discount our meal cost twice what we paid for a similar meal at nearby restaurants the following two nights.
The pool was great, it is a pity they didn't keep it open a bit later at night. Just as you were arriving back from daytime activities it was closed.
The hotel is close to the beach (5 minute walk), restaurants and some shops.
The bus stop to catch the bus to Phuket town is about 50 meters away from the hotel but we were given a bit of inaccurate information about the buses from one of the staff at the front desk.
The internet was slow and dropped out a number of times.

Scattered wifi, but a really good place to stay

This is a great low price option for budget travelers, but you'll be surprised how far your dollar goes here at the poolside. It was a nice place to come home to each night, with cold AC, a comfy bed, cleaned room, and spacious interiors. My single complaint is regarding the wifi...which was slow half the time and couldn't get (or stay) connected the other half. It's clear this resort needs to invest a bit in their technology. If they do, they'll be getting five stars more often than not.

It’s almost perfect

The resort is located about a 6-10 minute walk from the beach. The staff is friendly and reception speaks pretty good English. Our room has always been cleaned really well. Pools looked great even though we never used them since the beach is so near and the fresh fruit smoothie stand is right around the corner. Resort also has a nice restaurant attached. The only complaint is a first world problem where wish the AC would remain on after leaving the room. The AC does work fine and cools the room off quickly enough - would have been nice to leave it at least at a low setting while away from the room

Great hotel by the beach

Stayed here for a week in July and had a great time. Staff are all very friendly, room comfortable and location is right next to an active area full of bars, restaurants and shops. The beach is a couple of minutes walk away and there are plenty of taxis and tuk tuks out front. The only negative was the extremely slow wifi, but a sim card is only a few hundred baht and gets you plenty of data. Will stay here again.
