“Staff was amazing”

Our stay here overall was very good. We thought the staff was amazing. They would go out of their way to make sure you had what you needed. They can boom tours and taxis for you.

Our stay here overall was very good. We thought the staff was amazing. They would go out of their way to make sure you had what you needed. They can boom tours and taxis for you. They made breakfast for us before the normal time as we were going on a tour. Couldn’t say enough. We stayed in the family suite. It had a king size bed in one room and 2 twin beds in another room. The a/c worked well which is important with the heat. The bed sheets and towels were changed daily. The shower had very hot water that never ran out. Found the beds to be a little hard for my liking. There is an atm within 3-5 minutes walking from the hotel(not in the hotel). There are plenty of restaurants within walking distance. There is some famous road that is within 5 minutes walk from the hotel. It is very long and has tons of shops for the ladies. Overall, it was a good experience for us.

“Phuket Old Town Choice”

We stayed at the Casa Blanca Boutique Hotel in Phuket Old Town for 2-nights in early-Feb (B2,390; $100 Can/night).

We stayed at the Casa Blanca Boutique Hotel in Phuket Old Town for 2-nights in early-Feb (B2,390; $100 Can/night). We chose the Casa Blanca because it is a heritage hotel in old town (rather than one of the modern towers with their quasi-resort attitude) that was close to the sights, restaurants and pubs. Our 3d floor deluxe double faced the small inner courtyard, away from the noise of the busy street. It was small and a bit spartan with its all-white walls and ceiling, but it was adequately fitted with a desk and chair, couch (quite stained), mini-refrigerator, TV, luggage rack, armoire, safe (not bolted in place), small counter and sink. There was a small pool hidden behind the hotel, great for an afternoon dip, but with only enough deck space for two loungers. Breakfast, ordered the previous night for a specific time, included choice of eggs, chicken sausages, fruit, juices, drip coffee or tea, toast. Selection was sparse (e.g., no yoghurt) and, despite the specified time, there was barely any fruit or juices remaining on one morning. The hotel's location was superb for exploring old town. There were plenty of restaurants, craft stores, and interesting Sino-Portuguese architecture. Convenience stores were rare, but there was a Tops at the Limelight Shopping Centre about 3 blocks away. The hotel provided a good location for a comfortable stay, although with some issues with maintenance and the breakfast. Overall, they delivered reasonable value for a good price.

“Great location, lovely staff”

This hotel is in a great location but at the same time on a busy road which isn’t obvious when looking at promotional pictures. The pictures like many promotional pictures make the hotel also look far larger than it is. The staff at the hotel were delightful, helpful, and honest. Our room was pleasant, the bathroom small and luckily our room was on the third floor because the bar across the road was noisy. The pool was not big but my Daughter and I had to ourselves when we used it so we enjoyed it.

“It was okay”

It was okay. It was centrally located and the historical aspect of the building was interesting to me. I’m glad we didn’t opt for the breakfast, it looked pathetic. There’s great places elsewhere like The Neighbors. The staff were nice but the hotel was not very well kept and I had the fee... more

It was okay. It was centrally located and the historical aspect of the building was interesting to me. I’m glad we didn’t opt for the breakfast, it looked pathetic. There’s great places elsewhere like The Neighbors. The staff were nice but the hotel was not very well kept and I had the feeling that they didn’t really care about the place. It’s too bad, it could use some TLC. We had a street-facing room and one night wasn’t too noisy but the next two nights were really loud from the bar/club across the street until 11:30.
