Stayed here one night. Around the corner from the nightmarket = perfect dinner!

Yes the springy beds were 'ok'. It was cheap at 900 baht for a twin room however the rooms look nothing like the pictures ! ha. I'm sure there are other places better value but it was an easy no brainer when you fly in at 6.30 and just need a place for the night with good food around the corner without having to walk far. For longer stays try any of the guesthouses in the old town. Or if you asked to see the rooms maybe you could find a better one. It was a little bit like a rabbit warren inside. At least after a day you should know where the nightmarket is!

Awesome live music after about 9 or 10pm at "rockin angels" on the same road as the "timber hut" except across the road (timber hut is larger and on most maps). The old town area is so very pretty and seems to have lots of smaller boutique guesthouses. The day / night market is the best though for food! Everything is cheaper in Phuket Town and its kinda cool - like a tiny Bangkok. I like the city styles and authentic food - so I don't think its a breeze though kinda place. It could easily be a holiday in its own right - however most people come to Phuket for the beaches not the town.... but if you need an authentic town fix - its here!

Room looked nice on Internet and had good reviews. Very disappointed. Hotel lobby has stained dirty furniture and wasn't clean. When I saw this I knew the rooms would be average and they were. First room had air con unit attached outside that was so loud it shook and rattled the windows. Told reception who insisted it was the shopping centre next door and said it would stop in 1/2 hour. This was at 12.15am! I insisted they come and look as it was attached to the rooms wall. They moved us to another room that hadn't been cleaned and had a full ashtray of cigarette butts still sitting next to the bed..gross! Then the third bedroom had hair in the bed and the bathroom floor was covered in water from the leaking toilet spray hose. Would not recommend this hotel and certainly would not stay here again. Yes it's cheap but my advice would be to pay a cpl of bucks extra and stay somewhere clean.
