What guests think

At Novotel Phuket City Phokeethra, reviewers praise friendly, helpful staff, varied breakfasts, and walkable access to Phuket Old Town, while noting dated areas, occasional housekeeping lapses, a mixed pool experience, and a less appealing surrounding neighborhood with market noise.

Many highlight the rooftop bar views and overall cleanliness, though corridors can feel bare and lifts or ventilation occasionally noisy or smelly. Breakfast is widely liked for choice and local dishes, but a few found options limited or coffee poor, and dinner at the restaurant drew rare but sharp criticism. The setting suits exploring Old Town, but beaches and major attractions require transport and the immediate area can feel run down. Expect a comfortable city stay with standout service and breakfast.

Novotel hotel is a nice hotel, but the surroundings was not great, abandon buildings, just looked runned down. We ordered a family suite, and got two connecting ordinary rooms, which in my opinion is not a suite. Hotel staff was amazing, smiling helpful, even a concierge how went around checking that everybody had a good time. The pool was located under a roof, so that the sun could not warm it up, the pool where there for some what cold. Fitness room was small, but had everything you need for a good work out, unfortunately if you work out around 7 am, the water bottle in the room which are free will be warm, at least that was my experience. The breakfast buffet was great had, nice fruit and hot meals.

The exterior and the lobby look great. Not to mention our room was upgraded upon arrival and there was a nice warm welcoming inside the room. One of the two elevators was out of service which was kind of a drag since we were on floor 11. The room had some things about it that were unpleasant to the eyes. A few stains on the chairs and some on the walls. The bathroom was great and overall the room stay was good.

A special thanks to Gift for making our stay truly wonderful. She greeted us with professionalism and genuine friendliness and met all our expectations. The hotel is absolutely lovely, and the rooftop bar deserves special mention for its fantastic drinks. We really enjoyed the calm area where the hotel is located—peaceful yet still within walking distance of Phuket Old Town. We recommend staying here for about a week and then continuing on to a beach resort, as the best beaches in Phuket are quite far from this location. That said, don’t miss out on this hotel, it’s fantastic, and we will certainly return.

Showed me 3 different rooms and each one had a horrible smell in them. The lift is in major need of renovation too, the reception area is the best bit about the hotel. I refused to stay and argued them into a refund and moved to Ramada up the road.

Good points - reception and dining hall were beautiful. Room was fair but showing signs of wear and tear and could have done with a proper deep clean. Pool area was disappointing and would benefit from a bit of staging. The areas between the lifts and the rooms were nothing short of bleak and really need some art/plants , general dressing. We booked two nights here via Expedia for two adults and a 14 year old and specified her age. On arrival our room had one king size bed which all three of us were expected to sleep in. The hotel were going to charge us extra to put another bed in the room but it would have been too cramped so we ended up booking another adjoining room. The hotel is okay for the price and fine for a couple of nights but it is not 5 star by any stretch of the imagination. The staff are wonderful though

Sure — here’s your revised version without the em dash: --- The hotel overall was good, but there were a few disappointments. There were very few amenities provided, such as no lotion or conditioner, so be sure to bring your own. Unfortunately, our room and bathroom were not cleaned during our stay, and we had to call the front desk to request fresh towels and a refresh of the washroom. For a 5-star property, I expected a higher level of service and attention to detail.

Although the hotel has a nice presentation, friendly staff and average clean rooms, it was disappointing in a number of items. On 4 occasssions we returned to our rooms after 4pm and the rooms had not been made, it became that late on each occassion, we advised them not to bother. The restraunt was very dissapointing, we had our first meal there on our second night, it was average at best, we decided to give it another chance on our second last night, it was disgraceful. I complained about the quality of the food, which i rearly do, the head chef came out to appologise and admitted the food was reheat. Its probably not surprising there didnt seem to be many evening patrons. Although the hotel has most services around it, there is no easy transport to the major Phuket attractions. Taxi's are extremely rare, there is no courtesy bus from the hotel, staff advised there was a street bus, waited in the street for over 1hr, the bus drove straight past dispite 4 of us trying to wave it down at the allocated pick up zone.

Liked the closeness to Phuket old town. Didn't like the pool are(nothing like the photos depicted),the breakfast was average at best. If you are going to stay here(I wouldn't recommend it)make sure you pay the deposit in cash, as I am still waiting for mine to be refunded back to me(paid by card), hotel reception said could take up to 30 working days to be refunded back to me which is absolutely ridiculous. Promised us a breakfast box as checking out early, took us 3 attempts at different times of the previous day to get this organised.
