City Hotels:- 4-star to very cheap
Accommodation in Phuket Town
Business Hotels, Group Tour establishments, bargain-priced rooms
Phuket Town is situated on he east side of the island, far from the
beaches, so it is not much use for accommodation for those seeking a beach
holiday. But there are plenty of hotels here, of all standards and prices,
and staying in town is the right thing for some people.
Business people, obviously, choose city hotels. There are three large,
modern, high-rise hotels here, The Metropole, the Phuket Royal City
and the Thavorn Grand. Fierce competition and an over-supply of
rooms here has driven prices to rock bottom, another reason some people
choose Town hotels. In addition to these three there are numerous medium
size city hotels catering to business people, cheaper group tours and
budget tourists.
Anyone wanting to tour Phuket and the region, rather than hang out on
beaches, could well use this relatively central location as base.
Backpacking travellers have used the famous, and very, very old Chinese
hotel, the On On Hotel, for decades. It’s right downtown, it’s very
cheap, and it reeks of the atmosphere of an era long gone. It’s for those
looking for history and a bargain, but wile not squeamish about the
occasional rat or cockroach.
If considering staying in Phuket Town you might look up our pages with
information and maps on this quaint little centre, for there are quite a
few things to see here.
Prices in town range from something over 1,000 Baht for a room in one of
the modern high-rises (sometimes less, if purchased through a travel agent
as part of a package), to perhaps 300 Baht for something at the bottom
end.
