We stayed in a deluxe room on the top floor and it was very spacious and clean. The staff throughout the hotel are exceptional!!
Always so friendly and attentive to help with whatever you may need.
The people on breakfast duty are lovely and I enjoyed seeing their smiling faces first thing in the mornings.
The pools are refreshing and the maintenance staff are always cleaning the pool and surrounds.
Everyone here works so hard to make your stay comfortable and memorable!
We have enjoyed our home for 2 weeks and will miss it.
This hotel is Definitely great value for money and a great location to walk to nearby shops, restaurants and of course the beach is only across the road. We have a motorbike and there is plenty of parking just at the front.
Our absolute favourite thing is the staff though!
These are the faces you see everyday with warm greetings and friendly smiles. 🙏

While the staff was friendly and accomodating, the property and rooms are badly in need of upkeep and maintenance. Mould, wood rot, layers of paint, telephones that don't work, faulty plumbing were all part of what we experience. there were areas I felt unsafe walking on. Breakfast was fine and service on the whole was good.

Well situated… but…

Be aware that the hotel is well situated, but is not clean and needs renovation. There were pieces of wood that were destroyed in the bathroom and the room was not really clean. There were dead insects sticked on the walls and the smell was not always nice in the room. The AC was so strong that we all got sick. On the good note, the pool was nice and the breakfast was included. I don’t think we would go back there.

Friendly Staff - tired, not well maintained hotel.

Create location but the hotel is really tired and not well maintained. Staff is friendly but overall condition and comfort doesn’t line up with the smile.

- suprized 3000 B security deposit in cash upon arrival
- Shower and corners not cleaned.
- Unsafe overhead bridge in the shortcut to room-lobby
- Large gaps in doors forcing the use of AC in continuous. Staff put bypass cards to maintain AC on all day because of these gaps.
- slow supply at the breakfast.
- beads are ok but the bug spray bottle left on our bed the 2nd night was a bit concerning.
Overall a sweet and sour experience

Nice hotel a block from the beach

Good location, but not on the beach.
My room had a partial sea view, but it was far from the only elevator.
They had 2 pools, and I noticed they had a few rooms that had direct access to the pool - that would be really nice. I would book far enough in advance to get a pool access room. Give the hotel’s cat an ear scratch for me.

We loved the openness of the room.
Bathtub would have been nice, if there was a plug?Yes, we know how to use the twisting knob on the side of the tub, there was no plug at all.
TV options are none existent.
Not many channels, couldn’t Cast on the TV which would have made things ok. It is the only real negatives.

We stayed here because of the pool and the price. My first time to Thailand, visiting from Hawaii. Standards are night and day. The hotel was old but in good shape. Service staff were very friendly and attentive. Highlights of the hotel were the size of our room, the large pool and a sweet little kitty cat welcomed us every morning at breakfast, helping us with missing our kitties from home. Would stay here again.

What a treat to stay here again. It was our 2nd time there and we were not disappointed. We were pleasantly surprised by an upgrade to deluxe rooms and felt totally refreshed from the time we received the cool washcloth and welcome drink on arrival, to entering a clean and cool room! There are great restaurant nearby, and vendors making Thai pancakes and fried icecream! People in this area are great! The beach is clean with beautiful sand and not crowded ...

Perfect Holiday Experience.

We celebrated my wife's birthday at the Andaman Seaview Hotel last November 14. We stayed for 4 days and 3 nights. When we arrive at the hotel it was really clean and cozy. The staff are very helpful, always smiling and are extremely friendly shout out to (Blessie, Raine, SyDie, Darell). Our room was very clean and spacious plus the view from our balcony was spectacular. We really had a great time because they make sure all of our needs are taken care of. The pool was very inviting and the breakfast buffet is to die for, the array of food served was delicious and all are mouth watering. We also tried the Samunprai Spa and we could't ask for more it was a very pampering and relaxing experience and a must try. The location is perfect its just a walk away from the beach and in front there is a police station so we feel very secured as well. Me and my wife will highly recommend Andaman Seaview Hotel to everyone. We really had a great time because they make sure all of our needs are taken care of. Thank you for your excellent service and warm accomodation we will surely comeback soon.

Great hotel in good location. Little kinks need to be worked out to make it an excellent hotel. Eg Free wifi in restaurant only, no help from porters to carry luggage up the stairs, being charged double for my hotel booking - with a refund in \"at least 30 days\", no communication re hotel activities. But overall a beyond decent stay.

5 star plus service * Phuket hidden gem

If you are looking for somewhere to stay in Phuket where you will feel like a king or queen,and still have money left over when you go home this is the place for you.
A welcome drink and cold towel was provided automatically upon arrival ,complimenatry water bottles offered to you too .
Edward and all his staff, especially HoneyGrace, Arky, and Michael , could not have made our stay more enjoyable. They even gave us a late check out of 7pm on the day we were leaving
Upon arrival Arky showed us to our room and went through all of its features, including the towels and bag provided for either the pool or beach use
The room was perfect and had everything that you could ask for. …..pool and seaview, TV, Minibar, comfortable bed, bathroom amenities, and most importantly fast WIFI and a very efficient air conditioner !
The breakfast each morning had a wonderful variety of hot and cold Asian and western dishes, as well as cereal, an egg bar, salad and fruit section, and for the kid in us all …..icecream .
The pool area was very relaxing and the beach a quick 2 minute walk across the road. The restaurants at the corner as you enter the lane are great, and very cheap too so theres no need to walk far to eat.
So if youre looking for a place to stay in the south of Phuket, don’t even think, just book the Andaman Seaview…… Edward and his amazing team will give you an experience that you will never forget.

Excellent Stay

We were greeted with a smile and were able to get in our room early because we arrived early. They were very accomodating. Michael, our bellboy was very informative and gave us such good attention. He was a shining light every morning as we were going out. The hotel was extremely clean and our room was well looked after. We were very impressed with the whole experience at this hotel. The breakfast was excellent with a lot of variety. We were served the best breakfast here than any other places we stayed at in Thailand. Our room was nice and big and the pools were very nice. We sat by the pool almost all the time. The restaurant they had at supper was also very good. We ate there a couple of times. Everybody there made our stay very nice. They all were very friendly and very willing to go out of their way to help us. The only downside was that there was no internet included. It said there was but we could never get it. But all in all we would definitely go there again if we go to Phuket. Karon Beach was extremely nice.

Comfortable, good staff, good value in low season.

Our deluxe room was large, clean and comfortable. Large and comfortable bed. Wonderful large bath and plenty of boiling water. No sea view as we we on the 2nd floor and looked over the swimming pool. Staff were professional and polite.

We agree with previous reviews in that the hotel is largely used by Russians whose standards of behaviour and dress is different from UK eg those in the room next door to us were extremely loud and noisy. Also, they have a habit of sitting by the pool in the evening with their own food and alcoholic drink while Brits were using the hotel bar. The manager didn't say anything to them so we can only assume the hotel rules allow this. But it spoils the ambience for those of us using the hotels bar service. Bar service is very good and prices not too bad for a hotel, especially in happy hours. They mix a very good piña colada...better than any we had elsewhere on Phuket.
On the only day we stayed at the hotel and laid by one of the swimming pools it was spoiled as workmen were coming through all the time (one of the pools was being renovated) and infact were holding discussions etc right beside our sunbed. Not very private! In the end they asked us to move... Maybe they should remove the pool parts out of pool use times, it does close at 8pm after all.
Breakfast is good and plentIful.

Great holiday experience

I wouldn't be happier with my hotel choice, the staff was very friendly and helpful, the hotel beautifully decorated and authentic. Little details they take care of make you feel special like they give you ice cold, scented towel for refreshing when you first arrive to check in. The hotel was 3 minutes walking distance from the clean, sandy Karon beach. The breakfast was nice and we had lunch there which was really great thai food. The location of the hotel was very convenient, just 5, 10 min walking distance to shops, tour operators restaurants etc. It was a quiet, peacefull, friendly, relaxing atmosphere, and the decoration of the hotel was very satisfying. Their spa is really nice too. The pool is a little small, but i prefer swimming in the sea which is just steps away. They give you a nice beach bag with towel prepared in your room. There is a safety box in the room free to use. If you are on honeymoon, they decorate your room and give a complimentary cake. I would recommend this hotel to all my friends and family.
As for Phuket tips, always bargain when you buy anything, ask 300TBH less than what they offer, and you would get 150TBH discount :). You should talk with many tour operators before you book one, since the price differs by 1000 TBH for the similar tours. Dont let weather reports fool you, itwas showing thunder storms for all week, but for all the island tours we went, the sun was bright. It rains for a short time in Phuket, but nothing major.

The Andaman is a pretty hotel although due to time it has some repairs needed in the bathrooms, the staff were very courteous to us at all times. The breakfast was immense.

Probabilmente a suo tempo era un bell’albergo , necessiterebbe una una profonda ristrutturazione , camera spaziosa ma trasandata con asciugamani vecchi e logori , personale poco presente e non particolarmente simpatico . Colazione scarsa e monotona . Giudizio poco positivo a meno che non si riesca a pagarlo poco se no da evitare . Comunque molto comodo al mare circa 50 mt. Inoltre l’eccesso di russi cafoni e prepotenti non è certo un pregio.
