Arimana Hotel Phuket Patong,Thailand

Good Value
by Grace from Singapore, 12 Mar 08

“Hotel is in a quiet location and it isnt near the beach. May not be advisable for families with young children/babies in strollers to stay here. I had 3 young children (ages 4-10) with me and it's quite a distance for them to walk daily to the beach in the sun.

Hotel is however, near many beauty and massage salons (whose prices are comparable or less than those at the shopping mall, Jungceylon), and also near 7-Elevens and 24-hour Family Mart and some great-tasting local food stalls - all just a minute or two away.

Breakfast was nice and more than enough for one. Mini restaurant is quiet, and windy too.

I am most impressed with the decor of the room although room looked bigger in the website. I love the cleanliness of this hotel, especially the toilets in lobby/room and the swimming pool. Everything worked well in room, except the so-called satellite TV - not one channel had good reception.

Hotel lift did not have an 'open' button for me to hold the lift to wait for my other family members to get in, although there was a 'close' button.

Overall, I did enjoy my stay there. I would recommend my friends this hotel if they want a place away from beach and noise.”
