GREAT Inn and Restaurant. Stayed 9 nights, all perfect. Clean, nice room with comfy bed, walk-in shower, and great AC. Bottled water every day. 2 min walk to ocean. Right in Karon by tons of shops. Excellent on-site restaurant and laundry service. Exceptional service by all staff, especially Philip, who was very engaging and helpful every day. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Really enjoyed our stay at Kafe Karon.
The manager, Moo was lovely and very helpful.
Our housekeeper Nui was also lovely and bought us some medication when we were unwell ( it had nothing to do with this property)

There’s a few bars across the road which play music into the night but hey… when in Thailand go and join them… which we did.
Great value for money overall.
Would stay here again

Nice comfortable hotel. In a nice area close to restaurants and some bars. The bed was very comfortable and a good shower too. Kat the lady at reception was very nice and helpful.
The only negative thing about the hotel is the lack of an elevator. So if you have heavy or large luggage, you may wish to request a room on a lower floor. Mine was on the top floor. So had to carry my luggage up 3 flights of stairs. Kat kindly offered to help me carry my luggage upstairs. Overall a very enjoyable stay.

Value for money

I had excellent communication with the hotel prior to my stay but found the reception a little brusque (I did arrive v late at night to be fair) and I didn’t receive my requested quiet room. The room was up 2 flights of stairs. There is no lift so only stay here if you are traveling light. I got a lot of street noise from the bars that first night but things were quieter for the following 3 nights- I did put both fan and air con on.
The room was big and spotlessly clean. The bed was a little hard and was 2 singles made up as a double. The pillows were comfortable. It had a very functional Asian style wet bathroom with a rain shower with great water pressure. There is a safe and plenty of drawers and cupboard space with hangers.
I came and went with little interaction from the reception except they checked several times to make sure I checked out at exactly the right time.
I ate at the steak restaurant downstairs last night. The steak was worth the price.
The hotel is close to beach, shops and cafes. For a short, no fuss break I would definitely stay again.

We thought the room was dated but clean. The bathroom did not have an enclosed shower but instead a shower head and drain on the floor. Water go everywhere and my husband got injured. The location is at the end of a quieter road but everytime you go to the beach there are businesss that try to waive you down, it got a little annoying. We didn’t eat at the restaurant because it wasn’t extremely over priced but the rooms were good for a short visit.

I can't say enough good things about this property. In fact we love it so much we booked ourselves back here again in a week! The location is fantastic it's on a lively little side street if you want to see the action request a room on the street if you want it quiet request a room on the back side. We were on the third floor, no elevator but we love the exercise up and down the stairs so book accordingly. it's a couple of minute walk to one of the nicest beaches on Phuket, Karon Beach. The stay here comes with full use of the upscale Pacific club hotel with an incrediible rooftop pool, herbal steam bath and jucuzzi pool a short bike ride away. The food in the restaurant is exceptional in both places. Staff here are wonderful and genuinely accomadating. May especially was an added ray of sunshinare. Can't wait to come back:)

Overall very nice budget hotel. We were move down a block to the Paradise Inn (sister hotel) and it was very nice. Spacious room, comfy bed, nice sized bathroom, good security. Also, the location is great in north Karon near good restaurants, bars, and the beach. A little far from south Karon, but wasn't a problem for us at all. Only real complaint was that the AC didn't cool the room as much as we would like. Also, the staff was really helpful, even using their personal phones to call when my phone wasn't working. Would definitely stay here again.

Nice hotel - air conditioning issues

Nice hotel with lovely staff. Bed comfy and bathroom clean with good selection of shampoo etc. The room was quiet no noise from outside but when air con on powerful it was intermittently loud meaning I woke up a lot during the night. A bonus is the free use of another hotels roof top pool between 4.30pm and 11pm!

Great budget-class hotel

Stayed here 14 nights, exceeded my expectations as a \"budget\" hotel.
Room was large, comfy, quiet, clean. Had everything you could want. No electric jug but microwave instead to heat water but few days later, jug was (unexpectedly) provided.
Bathroom was good, But shower water temps adjustments was fiddly.

Almost a very good stay

Generally, the stay is worth the money. The room is larger than most hotels for the price you pay. It will be great if there is a kettle to boil water whenever we needed, instead of having to go down to the reception to collect hot water all the time. It will also be nice if the shower head is bigger with a higher water pressure.

Budget rooms, does the job

Stayed here since we took a very late flight into Phuket, and felt it would be wasted if we booked our pricier hotel for just a few hours sleep.

The reception had closed for the night (we arrived at 3:30AM), but there was a number to call the reception staff \"for emergencies\". The lady who answered was more than happy to check us in, and showed us to our rooms. Very helpful.

The rooms themselves were sufficient for what we wanted - a relatively clean place to freshen up, and rest for a few hours before moving to our main hotel.

It's a little dated, and the en-suite showers are more like wet rooms, but at this price-point it's difficult to fault. Ironically, their WIFI was faster and more stable than the 2 other hotels we stayed at which were 4-6 times the price of Karon Café Inn.

Location is perfect for those who want to be right in the middle of the vibrant night-life of the more laid-back Karon area.

Overall, a reasonable choice for those who are on a tight budget, or those who just want an \"in-between\" place to stay whilst travelling somewhere else.

Depending on which room you are given, do expect loud music from the nearby bars that are open late.

Close to the beach but noisy!

I can't fault the staff at the hotel, they made sure there was people there to check us in at 2am and upgraded us to a duplex room. However there was loud music playing until 5.30am and it started again at 8.30pm. It wasn't what we needed after a long day of travelling.
The hotel itself is good, the bed was comfy, bathroom decent and we had a sofa and two TVs in our room.
Very close to the beach as well.

Karon Café inn the perfect spot

The staff are so friendly and attentive. We ate there about 60% of the time and the meals were perfect. They make amazing ribs and top sirloin steak. I had a great time here and the place is awesome. I have traveled to Thailand many times in many different places and if you are looking for a small quaint quiet place this is it. I love this establishment and they are very helpful in every way.

Good overall!

We were allocated in a big airy front room the first two nights, but the karaoke on the opp was getting too loud to bear till 1am every day, so they transferred us to a nicer room in the sister hotel 2 mins walk distance and facing the back alley, the room was fantastic! If you are not partying type, Highly suggest you to ask the hotel for a quiet room while booking the hotel.

Location near beach and nightlife

Guest House is nicely located,Beach about 5 min walk. The Standard rooms are small,Deluxe more spacious.Food menu is good and reasonably priced.Breakfast buffet is good and available until 1,30pm. Located amongst nightlife,bars,etc.which are noisy until 2 am. No lift,and stairs steep and all rooms on 2nd and 3rd floors. Staff were deplorable! unhelpful,unfriendly,miserable,in fact the worst i have experienced in 16 years staying in Thailand. They really let down this reasonably priced House. I found it very difficult to communicate and they were certainly not a member of the 'Land of Smiles'!

Nice stay.

Fare priced. Room is ok, furniture antique \"dark\", but fine.
Have stairs to get to the room, no elevator, no ocean view. Shower works, air conditioning works, tv works, even has a microwave inside and a minibar.
Neighborhood is unique, will few the atmosphere of being inside the culture, a lot of shops on the street. Nightlife is fun, has a bar with alive music and karaoke until midnight, so don't try to sleep before that.
Very well located, just 2 blocks from the Karon beach.

Cozy Cafe

I stayed here for 10 nights in December. Hotel was great economy value. Rooms are nothing fancy but good bed, shower, and A/C. The cafe restaurant is excellent and breakfast buffet decent price too.

5 minute short walk to beach and many food places, 7 eleven, massage parlor a close by.

I went to kata a few times and found it to be very small for the number of people. Very happy with Karon beach as very easy to find a quiet spot to yourself as very large.

Big Buddha, Karon View point, Kata, Chalong, Rawaii, and promthep cape are short taxi trip away as well.

Chambre très agréable et plutôt propre.
L’emplacement est très stratégique et très centrale.
Tout se fait à pied.
L’accès à la plage de Karon se situe à 300 m.
Les rues sont très fréquentées et les restaurants au pied de l’hôtel.
Ce qui peut être gênant, c’est qu’il y a quand même un petit peu de bruit dans la rue que ce soit avec les riverains ou même le personnel de l’hôtel.
Pour le reste, nous avons passé un très bon séjour dans cet hôtel
