The Marina Phuket Hotel garners praise for its cleanliness and daily housekeeping, with guests enjoying the well-maintained rooms and rooftop pool boasting stunning views. Despite the occasional concern over street noise and air conditioning issues, the hotel's prime location near beaches and nightlife is a hit with guests.
Many find the hotel offers good value, although there are some remarks about additional fees and mixed food quality. The vibrant rooftop atmosphere is a social hotspot, yet some reviewers suggest that service could be more consistent.

Warm, friendly and helpful staff. Checked into our room on 7th floor but after 2 nights asked to move. We were on the main road side opposite the all night market. Both the road and market was noisy all the time. It was no problem moving rooms where we then spent our three week stay knowing we could go back to the room and relax. Breakfast was nice but after 3 weeks was a bit repetitive. Fruit, yoghurts, croissants, omelettes and local curry on offer. Tea coffee and juices all nice. Roof top pool was a smaller area than we expected but still lovely and kept remarkably clean. The whole hotel was spotlessly clean and the staff couldn't do enough. The main beach was a 10 min walk away and the main areas Approx 15-20 mins walk. Plenty of taxis should you need

We stayed at the Marina Hotel, Phuket as it was part of a package deal.
It's not the kind of place that I normally book, I prefer more traditional style hotels/resorts.
The room is a good size, very good sized bathroom and a well stocked mini bar. The only problems with the room were: very firm mattress, the shower over the bath design means water from the shower leaks onto the floor under the glass screen, the balcony door isn't sound proof so noise from the market, road below is continuous.
All the staff are very friendly and accommodating.
The hotel is very clean and has good amenities, the included breakfast buffet was very good, but no bacon which is disappointing for a Buddhist country.
Only about 1km from all the usual attractions, Jungceylon shopping centre, Patong beach and Bangla Road. Well worth the walk, everyday take a different route and see a lot of different but same, same things.
Good street markets next door and across the road, mini mart and chemists. Plenty of shopping at a nice walking distance.
Good variety and number of small places to eat and plenty of choices for night markets.
There is a fitness centre on the 9th floor and the views from the roof top bar are excellent. Bar prices are very steep, but they don't complain if you take your own beers up.
Recommend the hotel but opt for a room away from the road noise.

A lot to digest? Read an AI-generated summary of recent traveller reviews.
An oddly long hotel. Nice modern rooms. Modern style construction is beautiful, but crowded and small like the modern condos in Thailand. The rooms are probably 22sqm. I stayed alone so wasn't too pack. For two people would be a little tight for a 4 star hotel.
Location B+. On the main road, but a tad far for walking to the beach.
I got lucky and traveled right after COVID-19 lockdown so the price was very affordable. Normally, it would be quite expensive.
Nice modern swimming pool and bar area. Again, would be too tight when it's full.
One knock against the hotel is the parking. The 'turtleback' that prevents water from flooding the basement parking is too high. It would damage most regular sedan/saloon's bottom of the car. And there was not even 20% parking for the number of rooms. So people resorted to street parking. Not ideal for a 4 Star hotel.

The hotel room was spacious and a great escape from the heat outside. There was a balcony and lots of windows bringing in light throughout the day. There are no luggage racks so if you have plenty of suitcases, you'll have to put them on the floor or use all the desk space available. There is a mini-fridge in the room that is already filled with some minibar drinks, but you can still fit in a few of your own bottles. Since it is so hot in Phuket, I would advise you to put in the 2 free bottles of water in the fridge every evening so that they are chilled when you take them with you for your day trips in the morning.
The hotel is nice and clean. The rooftop pool has a beautiful view. The pool looks small and narrow when you first walk outside onto the rooftop, but there is a wider area further on the left along with two showers where the "front of the boat" is. (In case you did not know already, the top of the hotel is shaped like a boat.) The hotel is well air-conditioned except for the hallways to the elevator and the stairwell so brace yourself for the couple minutes where you are walking there. In the elevator, your hotel keycard will only work on the floor where your hotel room is except for the communal floors such as the roof and the gym. The stairwell is right next to the elevators so if you need to walk down a couple of floors to your friend's room, it should be no problem as long as you don't have any accessibility needs, otherwise you'll have to ask your friend to escort you. The cafe inside the hotel is pretty good. I enjoyed the watermelon fruit smoothie I had there and my parents enjoyed the mango sticky rice.
During the day, it may seem like your hotel is in a quiet and boring area, but at night, the markets across the street and on the side of the hotel will come alive. There is also a 7 Eleven if you need to grab a quick snack or a pharmacy right next door if you need anything.
The only two negative experiences I had while staying at the hotel was that there was one day where housekeeping didn't give us any of the smaller towels and the next day marked our room as missing two small towels when we never received them. If you are ever missing anything from your room, make sure you note that so you don't get in trouble for not having something you never received. My sister found some marks on her sheets on the first night so she had to call housekeeping to get them changed. Housekeeping arrived right away and changed the sheets on both twin beds. Housekeeping, for the most part, responds really fast at this hotel!

Stayed for 3 nights, location is a 15 minute walk to beach there is a late night market outside hotel not many bars or restaurants though. Room was ok main let down was sheets were like a silky polyester which felt damp all the time and pillows were like rock asked if they had softer ones but no. Breakfast was buffet not all that good had a boiled egg was virtually raw mainly caters for Asian market not international. Got a magnificent pool on roof with great views good sunbeds, bar free towels. Only thing that let it down was the BOOM BOOM of the music all day long volume control must have broken no chance of reading a book put us off so went to beach. Don't think would stay again due to atmosphere round pool.

We stayed here for three night as a family of three and it was three nights too many.
Upon check in the receptionist spent the whole time on the phone while taking our passports etc
The hotel is located on a very busy road so the noise of motor bikes can be heard late into the night. This and the very hard beds gave for three restless nights.
The rooftop pool is obviously the main selling point of this hotel but it seems the rest has been forgotten.
Our room was rather small but reasonably well equipped with a cockroach quashed on the wall.
You get two small bottles of water per day if you require anymore you are required to pay for them.
Breakfast was basic but all the essentials were there.
Upon checkout we were informed we would be charged as there was a T Spoon missing from our room. At first we thought the lady was joking but it turns out she was deadly serious.

Stayed here last year a delayed review, first room was dirty and full of flies so they immediately moved us to a new room, I’ve never slept on a more uncomfortable bed, it was literally a hard base with a thin mattress hard as a rock, and the king bed is not a king bed it’s two single beds put together. Didn’t have one good nights sleep there, breakfast was garbage, I’ve stayed in Patong 6 times and this is the worst hotel I’ve been in, full of Indian travellers, the only good point is the pool but it’s not enough to compensate for the uncomfortable rooms. I could go on but I won’t. Don’t stay here don’t know how they get such good reviews.

Let me be very clear that the positive reviews are for the wonderful rooftop swimming pool and superb rooms only. We stayed here only for one night so cannot point out more about the pros and cons but one negative about the hotel is that they have pasted notices everywhere which says if you do this 5000 baht fine if you do that 3000 baht and it is everywhere in the hotel Room,lift,staircase,lobby,pool, bar and where not I have shared a pic of that. I felt like a kid being warned by school teacher which I dont feel good in a hospitality business. We have been around to many countries and places and this was our third time to Phuket but never felt like this. I will not consider this hotel neither recommend my dear ones just because of this notices which makes you feel like you are in a jail and if you break any rule you are going to pay a hefty amount for that.for example they will take fine of 5000 baht if you boil milk in the kettle provided in the room for tea/coffee. Although we dont need it but what of we were accompanied by a one year old infant. The kettle is easy available for 600 baht so just in case it is spoiled by a customer by mistake you can simply let it go with a smile after all the marina phuket is charging a lot for a day. Dear people if you are happy with being reminded of not doing anything wrong every minute you can visit this place rest please avoid.

Dear Raja M, Thank you very much for had chosen to stayed with us and sharing your opinion back. May I explain that we must highlight the general information to our guests to avoid facing problems; - 5,000 baht fee if you smoke at non smoking area is to safe children & other guests who not smoke. - 5,000 baht fee if you bring durian & mangoteen to the room because this kind of fruit is very smell especially in air condition, many guests get sick from the smell and we cannot sell the room at least 3 days to deep clean, so the lose value not only 5,000 baht. I do understand your thought, but kindly understand that we have to work with many people from around the world, some guests not 100% fully understand what we try to explain by talk. Again, thank you very much for your feedback. Best regards, Chanyanoot Sena

We stayed at the Marina Phuket Hotel for 4 nights. The check in process was very smooth, because of Thai Gov rules it was required to isolate in the hotel for 1 night, which was easy as they provided room service (lovely food and drinks that came quick). One reception member also let me borrow her phone charger as I was yet to buy a travel adapter, which was very lovely of her! The room was super clean and tidy, had a deluxe double which was plenty of room for 2 people. Toiletries provided as well as towels and coffee/tea/water. Shower pressure was fine. The rooftop infinity pool with bar was definitely the best part about this hotel! So many sun beds (shaded and non shaded) with towels provided. The drinks at the bar were reasonably priced, about 190 Baht for a cocktail- bar staff also bought your drinks over to you. Breakfast was ok, there wasn’t as much buffet selection as other hotels I have stayed in but the food that was provided was nice. Ranged from fruit, toast and cereals to cooked meals with noodles and meats etc. In terms of location, the hotel is spot on. It is 4/5 minutes walk away from the main strip road (so about 10 from Bangla Road) 2 minutes from a 7/11 shop and just next door there is a coffee smoothie shop and a chemist. There’s always taxis waiting outside as well which helps. The gym was fine, had a few cardio machines and a few different weight machines and mats. A few dumbbells also. The best part of the gym was the view from the machines (have uploaded a pic) was so beautiful while working out! Overall I really recommend this hotel, the airport transfer was a little bit overpriced but nothing can do about that really, the value for money in terms of the room and service provided is so worth it though! The staff are super friendly and attentive, nothing is too much hassle for them, definitely recommend staying here.

Walkable distance to the patong beach and Bangla streets where all the bars are. Its a bit far if you want to do island hoping tours. They offer free breakfast for my stay and free beach towel rentals. The hotel hall ways to the room was outdoors so you can feel the heat once you walk out of your room. It’s a safe location hotel because it requires a room key to access your floor. The pool was on the roof and it was really nice to lounge in the area. It had loud music almost like the pool parties in miama beach.
The room was very modern and clean. I like how my bathroom had its own area that is a bit discontinued to my room. Good thing they have a balcony so I can dry my clothes. Wish they had a rack to hang the clothes though. The beds were supper comfortable, but for some reason the 2 full bed in my room was actually connected so it made seem like a king bed.
Service was quick and they had a tour guide in the lobby which made it convenient. A lot of atm and 7/11 near by and there is even a fruit market.

A real mix of people at the hotel, young, old, couples, groups (small), families. Mix of nationalities.
Pool music is a little loud and repetitive but I just took my portable speaker up to the pool with us. That was my only criticism on a whole it’s excellent 👍🏻
There are more places to choose from in the Patong area.
