Hotels near Friendship Marine in Phuket

If you're only staying in Phuket a couple of days, this hotel is satisfactory. It's quite close to the beach and shopping if you need to buy anything. There are two important things to note: 1) There is a 1,000 Baht deposit you have to pay upon check in. You get the deposit back when you check out. 2) The address/name on the site does not take you to the hotel. The hotel is the ICheck Inn Chill Patong and the address is 18 / 1Rat-u-thit ,200 pee road, kathu, Phuket, 83150, Thailand.

It was really close to Patong Beach hub. My only complains are for the breakfast. There were lots of Chinese foods and very few other options. Only one type of cheese. And the worst part was the coffee ☕️. It was terrible, at least for me. I noticed some guests brought their own coffee with them to the restaurant. Another thing that bugged me was the pool hours. The pool was closed after 7, which was exactly the time I wanted to use the pool. All in all, it was a good hotel.

The door n the wall not thick enough to cover everybody shouting on the coriddor and the drunken people late at night. The location near the mall n bagla road got night market, bars, restaurants amd night livr

The hotel is so good! The room was big and clean. Cleaning every day. So close to the beach! Just cross the road and here you are. Breakfast was amazing! Really a lot if different food, so everybody can choose what they like. Wifi was workinv in the room in a good way! Tv as well! On the roof the swimming pools were working, but one area was closed. Maybe that area opens only for high season. But without that area it was still great! Definitely will come back here one day 😁😁 The only minus was that on balcony our clothes were not drying at all, cause the window was small and it was going inside (between the 2 hotel buildings) and there was a roof between the buildings, so, there was no any ventilation. So, the clothes were getting smelly instead of drying. 🤦🏼♀️ But there are other areas with opened balconies, so, maybe in those rooms there is no such a problem.

This place is just... WOW!!!! Loved every moment of our stay. The Location- Very conveniently located in kata, close to everything. You can easily walk to the beach but the resort offers a free shuttle hourly. Outside the resort there are multiple places to eat and the night market is an easy stroll away. The phuket smart bus and blue bus stop which is a cheap alternative to taxis and tuk tuks is literally down the road. The Food- The breakfast buffet was amazing and was charged at 250bht when we checked in but when we checked out we were told it was 350. This was the only disappointment as it was written in the room that it was 250 and we were told verbally. So I suggest if it's not included in your room rate you need to double check you sign the paper when you arrive at breakfast. However there are many food options so close and super cheap cocktails everywhere! Go down the street there is a little open bar and the guy there is really friendly and makes amazing drinks for only 100bht. The room- we stayed in the barray villa and oh man this was an outstanding experience. Yes it wasn't the cheapest but it was worth every cent. No pictures can do it justice. If you need want a cheaper option then the pool access rooms looked great and the canal in front of the rooms made for an excellent night swim when it was all lit up. I really loved Sawasdee and Kata, I regretted moving on to patong because in all honestly I hated patong! It was way to crowed and full of creeps. Just a very sleazy place and everything cost more. You yourself a favour and book your stay at Sawasdee!! You won't regret it 😁

My stay at Homa was fantastic! The rooms are beautiful furnished and spotlessly clean. The property’s amenities, including the rooftop pool, fitness center, co-working room, coffee shop, restaurant and bar, added to the luxury experience. I highly recommend!

Don’t hesitate. Good people. Great welcoming. Perfect if you want to be close to phuket town but not the middle of it. Everything one may need for is around also.

Stayed for 8 nights in this hotel with my wife. Excellent hotel overall. Very clean indeed, staff very helpful and nothing is too much trouble. They open doors for you as you enter reception, take you bags to your room, help sort car / moped hire etc, The room was very clean and well appointed. Bath and beach towels are provided and they change these as frequently a you need. They also provide all the usual essentials including shower gel, shampoo, toilet paper, bottled water every day. Kettle, hob, large sink and basic utensils, glasses, cups etc were all provided. Also an iron and ironing board as well as a clothes drying stand. The big kitchen sink is easily bug enough to do clothes washing in. Room service was excellent each day. Balcony size on normal rooms was slightly small, especially as was shared with two large air conditioning units (all balconies appear the same) so this made the balcony cramped, noisy and hot when air conditioning was on. Breakfast was provided in the adjoining restaurant. This was excellent offering fresh hot and cold food, eggs made to your liking (fried, scrambled, omelettes, etc), bacon, sausages, fruit, bread, croissants, etc etc. Seemed to have everything included plentiful supply of juices, coffee, tea, etc. Most things self-service but the staff were on hand to help and to clear used dished. The location of the hotel means it is a 15 minute to the beach and 15 minutes to the main restaurant area known as Boat Avenue. Fortunately the hotel runs a shuttle bus service twice an hour to both locations and back until 9.10pm. Would be nice if slightly later coming back from Boat Avenue, but taxis and tuk-tuks were on hand although these aren't the cheapest. The main local beach is Bang Tao beach. This is lovely. Very clean (as everywhere seems to be here), soft white sand, gentle shelving into the water with no stones or rocks. Shame about sea lice the bite / sting in the water but they are everywhere in this part of the world depending on time of year and they are a very minor irritation. Also good availability of sun-beds as well as beverages from the beach shacks. Lots of fresh water showers and there is parking next to the beach as well as toilets. Boat Avenue has plenty of nice restaurants - see my other reviews if you want to see where we went and what we thoughts. Lots to choose from. Most restaurants seem to slow down food service after 9.30pm and this is not a clubby resort. Was just right for us though as there were plenty of bars and some with live music (check out The Mexican bar and restaurant). Wine is not cheap here and starts around £30 a bottle - although some could be found around £25. We stuck to beer with dinner. There is also a handy large supermarket selling everything you could need and is right by taxi station and open until 10pm. Final top tip about this area is to visit on a Friday night if you can as the street market is great with street food and live music. Easy to hire cars and

Great swimming pool area with a bar. Unfortunately the restaurant was absolute garbage. Paid for breakfast but only had it once as it was not nice and the selection was very small. Room was decent size but I had to keep asking for the cleaners to throw rubbish away as they would just leave it. Overall not a bad place but could do with some improvements. Staff was friendly and helpful though

Absolutely great experience and Panwaburi. The staff are so kind and explain everything so well, the facilities from the restaurant to rooftop pool are amazing. The only thing l would say was not good was the distance from the resort to other places, we spent a lot of time on the road because of this which was unfortunately a downside. Would stay there again though
