The location is excellent; central to everything and with its own minimart downstairs.
I have stayed in Karon many, many times before; including at the Simplitel in 2013.
The hotel then was new and was at a premium price.
However the stay was far cheaper this time around - possibly due to the downturn in the tourism market - but the level of cleanliness was still excellent.
THE STAFF
Reception and Cleaning staff were superb. All smiles and professionalism across the board. However, on the second morning I went down for breakfast and was asked my room number, which I duly gave and went to the well-appointed buffet. As I was putting some bread in the toaster, I get manhandled around by the waiter and he shouts, \"No! Stop!\"
\"I beg your pardon.\" He points at my room number on his sheet and it says \"RO\" - Room Only. I'd thought I'd paid - as I had done for two rooms back in 2013 - for the included breakfast.
Oops! \"Sorry!\" - said in Thai.
As I start to walk away, feeling a bit sheepish, an older man comes into the dining room and yells at me from ten feet and getting closer, \"Get out! You not pay! No food! Get out!\" Now, far from being embarrassed, I'm fuming.
How dare he? A simple mistake; I'd already apologised and was walking out. Now I'm red with rage. But still walking and not acknowledging the older man.
I live in Thailand and have learned how to keep a \"cool heart\" as the Thais say.
I don't know if I'll stay again. But I definitely won't include breakfast!

Location strategic, room cleanlines to be improved

We were arriving quite late and have no choice to our reserved toom. It was nightmare when assigned our room at 3rd floor which is upper floor of restaurant. There were many little crokoaches coming out whenever we moved. They came out from table, u der the bed and bathroom. I called to receptionist about this issue and ask for room changed. Fortunately, he was helpful and manage to get me another room at 6th floor. It was much more cleaner. I am happy they attended and fixed the issue immediately and new assigned room is pleasant to stay! We are satisfied at last!

The breakfast was standard, fresh and they will continue refill when finished Very polite staff and we are happy to had our breakfast there daily.

For location wise, it was strategic and not hustle. Simplitel is close to alot nice restaurants and seaside. We were moving around by riding bike in Phuket. There is a bike rent stall at few block away (right side when you step out from hotel). There are some nice coffee shops/ dessert shops nearby seaside. Is good to explore around in Karon beach.

The hotel is in a busy location but we couldn’t hear any noise outside our door so we could sleep easily! The service was incredible and every people was wonderful and friendly. The breakfast was the best I have ever had at a hotel. If you are going to Karon beach and want a cheap stay with an awesome room and the best service and cleanliness you will see in Thailand you should choose this place. There is a reason it is rated to high on trip advisor.

Old poorly maintained hotel

The Simplitel Hotel Karon is like I should rot in the middle of the main street of restaurants and is about 350 m from the beach.

The staff here are friendly The hotel is very basic & poorly maintained. The rooms are large. the king bed is actually two single beds pushed together with no padding to cover the join in the middle & the beds are very hard & uncomfortable. The pillows are also fairly thick & very firm. Not comfortable at all.
The hotel is old & the floor tiles in my room will loose and they were broken tiles on the walls in the shower. The room has a mini bar fridge, a safe, tea and coffee making facilities, high chair and a desk.

The shower has good pressure, but there only a shower curtain. They supply a tiny little bar of soap. There is an LCD TV with cable channels but the reception is poor.

The internet is terrible, very slow & intermittent and drops out from time to time.

Even the computer's supplied on the second level are so slow that they are almost impossible to use as it takes minutes even for an Explorer window to load.

The fitness center has old dangerous equipment, is hot & stuffy and the machines are unplugged all the time in order to try and save power. The air conditioning is turned off for the same reason. The treadmill belts slip regularly and are noisy & dangerous and need replacing. There is no swimming pool at this hotel.

The only good thing about this hotel is its location

Family Mart minimart right next door, great places to eat all around - our favorite was right across the street, Reaun Talay, with free basic salad bar. The hotel was quiet, good sound proofing between rooms, a/c worked well, mini fridge, tea kettle & water, coffee, tea replenished each day. A very pleasant stay, would recommend.

The area is great because you're a few steps from the beach and are surrounded by a mix of places to eat (Karon is the most liveable area if you're looking for peace, comfort and a gorgeous beach).
The hotel has all the necessary basics and I slept comfortably every night. I didn't try the breakfast.

Ants for beginning but the manager helped solve

After we bought a bottle of honey into the room, ants were everywhere in the next morning, especially the table where the honey was located - full of \"ants army\", additionally, no hot water in the morning, pillows were way too high to sleep with, air was very smelly (probably it's the anti-insects spray) - we thought our holiday would be ruined. However, as soon as we complained all these problems to the reception, the manager apologised and gave us an alternative room in the higher floor straight away. He said the ants were because the previous customers' food attractions, and our new room is clean from insects - but we dealt with food & food trash carefully afterwards just in case.
So, nice and helpful staffs, no food in the room - sweet food is the most strict type of food.

Average hotel but good location

Stayed here a night after spending 3 in Patong... I must admit it is far from Bangla and main action but it is a good laid back area with cleaner, less crowded beaches. Hotel is on the main street and central to all restaurants, massage places, 5 mins walk to the beach and currency exchange places are nearby. We rented a bike from the next door lady who ran a small restaurant and a small lodge (200 THB a day). We also rented a taxi to airport from that lady at 900THB which was cheaper than 1200THB quoted by hotel and 1000THB quoted by taxi drivers. There is a small store with medical supplies and groceries next door. Also, right outside is an ice cream place run by a wonderful couple (must try)... Also is close to Nin Massage which we felt was really good.. Overall a good place for people in $50-$75 budget range.

Great location, simple hotel, but does the job wel

I found a pretty good deal on Simplitel through the website and decided to give it a shot. Karon beach turned out to be a great location, as it's in between Kata beach and Patong beach. Kata Noi because is probably the nicest and Patong is probably the most exciting since everything goes on there. So I was very happy with the location. The hotel was pretty simple and clean. I liked the mountain view as well, which I apparently got upgraded to. The one thing I did find that was funny was that it literally had some of the worst hand soap I've ever seen at a hotel. It was so dry. Very minor random detail. Also, the hotel wifi is very annoying how you have to log in again every single time you log back on to the network. But a minor detail once again and it was worth putting up with because of the good deal I think I got on the room.

An OK hotel in a good location with no character

Hotel was not bad but it didn't live up to its reviews. The location is very central if you want to live right on the busy street. It's 10 minutes walk to the beach, the bus to Phuket town and Kata Beach stops right outside of the hotel. The rooms were very spacious but the furnishing was a bit odd. All the furniture was cramped in one corner and the large part of the room was kind of empty. OK, the view of the hills was stunning (we were on the 6th floor, facing away from the street).We didn't like the corridors of the hotel, they are long and dark. The breakfast wasn't great, there were mornings when were couldn't eat anything besides toast. The rooms were cleaned regularly but not thoroughly. We went to the beach the first day and the sand was still in the corner of the shower after 3 days. Our general impression of Simplitel - is that its an OK hotel in a good location with no character and very impersonal service.

This place is a simple, clean, and cheap place to stay if you plan on spending your vacation her mostly at the beach or out doing activities. If you like spending your vacations on a nice resort with top qualitiy amenities and pool this place might not be for you. My hubby and I stayed for two weeks and had a wonderful time.

Good location, but service needs to be improved

I booked a triple room for my two daughters and I. When I checked in, the lady made copies of our passports and the immigration sheets, not only that she requested my daughters to sign the hotel form, and stating that a triple room requires three of us to sign. She also reminded me if we had any extra person to stay with us, there would be cost for the extra person. I told her I booked a triple room for three of us, there was not any extra person travelling with us at all. After we entered our room, a follow-up phone call rang, asking me to bring the hotel voucher to the desk, since she forgot to ask me when checked in. The day we left for another resort in Karon Beach, I found I left a big bag of fruits in the refrigerator, I walked back to the hotel, asking if they had my bag of fruits. The lady in the front desk called the room service of the floor we stayed, and the answer was they did not see any bag of fruits in the room/refrigerator... Despite the service, I like the location of this hotel, very convenient with lots of restaurants steps away.

Dishonest and unfriendly staff

Staff were unfriendly and unhelpdul.

Chose a non-smokign room, i noticed an ash tray on the balcony on the first night and thought little of it. Two or three days in I get a letter underneath my door saying I had been smoking in the room (and that I had stolen a glass) and was required to pay 2000THB for smoking and 50THB for the glass. Needless to say being furious of being accused of this I did not.

Gym was too hot (not peroperly air conditioned) to do anything.

The \"pool view\" rooms indeed overlook a pool, the rather nice looking one from the nearby hotel guests are not allowed to use.

Air conditioning would only work for a couple of hours at a time.

Double bed consisted of 2 singles, standard in many hotels but it would be nice to know this beforehand. This is a budget hotel but I'd still expect better

Simply excellent ! Fine service experience.

I booked a studio mountain view room and I must say Simplitel is the best place in karon specially for non-splurge travelers like me.

What to expect from Simplitel -

1.Excellent service with a smile.
They have taken care of every booking related requests / last minute change requests very professionally. Fast check-in.
2.Fine sleep quality.
Comfortable bed and airconditioning. No roadside noise in mountain view rooms.
3.Free internet and good wi-fi signal strength.
They have a non a/c internet zone (free) with 3 pcs and a small library in 2nd floor near lift lobby.
4.Non smoking room with smoke detector.
You can find a notice saying 2000 baht penalty for smoking in room.
5.Good continental breakfast.
Timing 6:30 am - 10 am in 2nd floor dining room.
6.Clean room and bathroom.
We had no issues with drainage system.
7.Well equipped fitness room. 6:30 to 20:00 hrs.
8. Excellent location.
On the main road and 5 min to beach.
9.A freezer and tea / coffee maker room. 2 small bottles of mineral water free everyday.
10.LCD tv with many international channel including Hindi,English and Russian.

Now , a small list of what not to expect -

1.A full service restaurant with room service.
But there are many restaurants just next door. Wide range of seafood bbq.
2.Big shower cabinet. Bathroom is relatively small.
3.Swimming pool. Simplitel does not have one.

We enjoyed our stay at this simple but excellent hotel and will definitely pref. to stay again.

New clean & great price

Our room was on the top floor (6) & we had a small balcony with 2 chairs & a table overlooking the bustling street below & ocean.
Rooms are large, clean. We slept great. Location is close to beach & lots of food eating choices on the street. Great gym & equipment.
Would stay again. Staff very friendly & helpful.

a very convenient stay

This hotel located right on the main road in the Karon beach area. Very convenient that you can find everything you need in just 5 min walk. Will stay again if in Karon next time.

Clean modern hotel with wifi & breakfast! Perfect!

A clean modern hotel with wifi and breakfast included only 5 mins walk to the beach. We found the hotel to be extremely good value for money. The room itself was huge and as the hotel is quite new everything has a modern finish.

I would certainly recommend this hotel and would be happy to stay here again in the future.

Very clean and quiet. Room facing the road has no problem. Free breakfast good enough to start the day. Happy with free internet. Air con a bit cold and noisy. Pillows have marks on and bedding not very comfy, quilt too thick and heavy. Cannot compare with 5 star hotel standard, acceptable. Happy with the room rates . Everything is a copy of Ibis Hotel concept. Strange noise when resting in the night could be from pipes of engine, had to leave TV sound on to cover up through the night. A bit freaky.

Simplitel hotel Karon beach

Very basic hotel, but it's quite new and therefore clean and modern. Location is very good, only a short walk to the beach, and there are many restaurants and shops just next to the hotel.
Our room was not on the street side, so it was very peaceful and we didn't hear anything from outside. Nice balcony with a nice view.
Breakfast buffet is very simple, don't expect too many options to choose from.
Two public computers and free internet access. Air-condition in the rooms and in the breakfast area works well.

Nice hotel in a good location

My room was clean, modern, and simple, with a nice inland and street view from the 6th floor, and located on Patak road within easy walking distance to the Karon beach and nightlife. The staff were friendly and helped with local calls to tour operator and taxi, and provided beach towels and umbrellas. Breakfast was free and nice. The downsides were twin bed when I requested king, they overcharged for taxi to and from hotel (I cancelled and booked my own taxi for several hundred bhat less), awful smells emanating from the shower drain and/or toilet, and a maid that was a little too thorough that threw out some important slips of paper.

Tres bon hotel avec tout le confort necessaire.
Chambre, très propre.
Le personnel est très sympatique.
Il y a un espace pour enfant et une salle de sport.

L'hotel n'a pas de piscine, mais l'accès à la plage est très proche (5min à pied).
Hotel à proximité des restaurant et boutique de souvenirs.

La nuit, la rue est très calme se qui est génial pour dormir sans tapage nocturne.

Je recommande vivement cet hôtel !

Отдых в Simplitel

Данный отель мы с женой открыли для себя в 2013 году, и просто в него влюбились.
С тех пор, если мы летим в Тайланд, на Карон, то останавливаемся в нём.
Нам нравится его расположение, хотя немного далековато до пляжа, но зато все остальное достаточно близко.
Рядом ресторан Веранда, где мы обедаем.
Мы обычно берём номер с видом на горы, немного дороже, зато спокойно, и ничего не мешает ночному отдыху.
Жаль персонал не говорит по русски совсем.
Завтраки стандартные, ничего особенного, но и голодными мы не оставались.
В общем отель нам нравится.
Большие номера, не тесно.
Всем хорошего отдыха.

Et godt hotell.

Vi bodde på Simplitel i 12 netter og var godt fornøyd med hotellet.
Rommet var svært romslig med en fin balkong vi brukte mye. Frokosten var svært bra. Et lite minus må være at hotellet ikke har basseng. Det burde de nok ha ut fra pris. På den andre siden tok det bare noen få minutter ned til stranda.

De fleste gjestene på hotellet var russere. Det var nok tilfellet ellers på Karon også.
I gatene rundt hotellet var det mange spisesteder og barer.
Min mening er at hotellet med området rundt passer ypperlig for godt voksne turister. Ungdom vil nok synes det blir litt kjedelig.
Men for oss passet det godt, og vi kommer gjerne igjen.
Mvh. Geir fra Oslo.

Не очень(

Отель выбираем уже второй раз.Первый-был отличный.В этот раз что-то пошло не так...Мы отдыхали с грудным ребёнком.Никаких люлек, кроваток не предоставляют(не знаю, почему). Номер дали с видом на шумную улицу(пометка про ребёнка была), когда мы попросили поменять номер на другую сторону, ответ был: с доплатой. когда мы не согласились на доплату, сказали , что номеров нет свободных.После, мы согласились на доплату и ответ был: через несколько дней.Конечно же, через несколько дней номер нам никто не поменял.
Ответ: заняты все номера.
Ну ок.
Вывод: с детьми выбирайте другой отель.
Питание: завтрак. Ничего изощренного.Яичница, рис, лапша, сосиски, салаты, тосты, кофе.Скромно и есть можно.Если надоест, сходите позавтракать в кафе рядом, но там тоже самое, только за деньги.))
Сервис , конечно же, тайский.Простыни с пятнами, полотенца на нитки расходятся, песок и пыль под кроватями.))Опять же, цена-качество.
Но самый главный минус , ребята, это отвратительный запах канализации в номерах , концентрация в туалетах(нас было три номера и везде был запах), это невероятно зловонно, пахнет не просто туалетом, а не буду говорить чем. Уборка пытается замаскировать запах, не менее жутким, освежителем, но все тщетно...((
Из плюсов: только расположение(7 мин пешком до пляжа) и некоторые люди из персонала.)
Спасибо за внимание!Отличного вам отдыха!;)

Bon mais bruyant

Bon séjour hôtel propre personnel très serviable gentil à l’écoute
Par contre clim très bruyante la nuit c’est tres désagréable impression d’avoir un moteur d’avion à ses côtés
Les chambres côté rue sont très bruyantes aussi du à la circulation et possibilité de changer de chambre moyennant 500 bath par nuit supplémentaire..... dommage.
