Safari Beach Hotel

ZAINUDDIN said, "Chek-in ok.Room smelly/smell of urine and cockcroch and very small shower space/bathroom.Water pressure very low and not consistent.Request for upgrading but very expensive,has to add per night TB1650.Total TB3300 per 2(two) nights.I DIDN T AGREE with the rate because above the rate by internet thruogh Sawadee.com.Ask for change to another room with the same rate which had been paid to the Sawadee.com/internet agent.Went back to the room and few minutes later call by reception to inform me that I had been upgraded to junior suite WITHOUT ANY CHARGE BEEN INFORMED.I assumed free upgraded.When check-out.I was charged extra TB3300 which I don t agree but I had no choice,I had to pay for it.In total I had to pay for 2 nights stay TB5000+TB3300=TB8300 which I was not satisfieed with the extra charge at all.I checked with internet the rate is TB8000 per 2 nights.In total I was still been cheated with the rate Safari Beach Hotel charged me.I think is better to stay at Premiere Grand room,Phuket Burasari Resort,Patong for the price I had paid.Please rectify the problem.Dr.Zainuddin hARUN"

Lim said, "Staircase leading to the rooms too steep (Beach Wing), Toilet smells of choked seawage, Heated water very inconsistent makes bathing very difficult unless you do not mind bathing in cold water!The only good thing is that it s very near to Blanga Rd and the beach is just at your door step and it s not too noisy at night!"

Julie said, "This is not a beach hotel so dont be fooled by the name. Its right in the middle of a busy street just off the gogo strip Bangla Road. Rooms need updating and its a bit dirty around the restaurant. Friendly staff though."

Che said, "Great location and close to everything. Breakfast is not buffet style but can order more than one drink. Front desk is very helpful. Get 10% discount if having lunch or dinner at Savoey. Drawbacks: Small pool and close at 18.00. Aircon is a bit noisy. Ask for room at the second floor for more privacy."

Christopher said, "The hotel was clean and simply decorated. Very tropical looking with all the plants around. Early check in was not available due to full booking so we hung out at the pool side until check in time and they held our bags until then. However, would recommend that you try and book in the newer rooms which may cost more but is located right next to hotel desk. Our rooms were in the older rooms in the second floor and it must be backed into a club because the booming techno music kept my husband awake until it ended about 2am or so. The breakfast was off the menu, not alot of variety but the best croissants ever. May return but we found other hotels just a block over that looked nicer, still in the center of activity and not next to a club/bar (?) with the loud music that invades your room and can be heard over the air conditioning."

Leong said, "greeted by nice & friendly people at the front desk and the hotel, who can speak simple english. The pool is smaller than what i saw in the picture, but i still enjoyed it though. There s also a small jucuzzi by the side of the pool. The location is great, just beside bangla rd, which has all the pubs and bars. So after being drinking quite a bit, we just need to walk like 5 mins to our hotel rm and comfortable bed. It s only 3mins walk to the beach. The rm is spacious and clean though it s just the thai contemporary rm (cheapest one). One complaint though, the aircon and the switch gives out some noises periodically. But we are too lazy to change rm, haha.. and the breakfast provided is not buffet but ala carte, so on our 3rd day, we decided to have mac breakfast instead.All in all, we will definitely go back to this hotel again."

Andreas said, "Very, very good hotel, good personal, kind and happy always. But take Beach Wing as best and quite one, the original hotel is a little noisy!"

Tan said, "good location; clean n spacious room though ours was the standard comtemporary room; note small pool w jacuzzi; breakfast isnt buffet style though food is quite ok. will recommend to frens :)"

M said, "only problem was advertising said king bed but only ?5 at hotel, rest were queen size. with very large husband queen size not big enough. Hotel would not do anything about. said you had to request king bed. Hotel food great."

Tanya said, "We arrived only to find out that we didn t have a room, they had double booked us! They then put us into a spare room across the road, this was average but not what we expected, we had booked twin room and had to stay in a queensize bed together, the following day they moved us into their hotel, the shower was unbelievable - dribbled out. The restaurant was fantastic and the service was ok. If the shower had of been better we would have been satisfied I think. It is close to everything in Phuket which is handy, small pool area though and not many sun lounges availabe."

kerin said, "Safari is in a great location if you want to be in the middle of everything,all hotel staff were great with special mention to Savoy restaurant & bar staff, prices were very reasonable with great snacks & meals. Rooms were cleaned in detail everyday day.All round a great place in my opinion"

Craig said, "Great small resort.Close to everything.The breakfast was sufficient,swimming pool was good,with always enough deckchairs.The restaurant attached to the hotel was superb,with mighty fine bar staff.We travelled with another family of 6 and we could not find a thing to complain about,Very friendly staff made it a very joyous holiday.If you would like any info,contact us at csimmo2@optusnet.com.au"

Reg said, "Great hotel except for heaps and we mean heaps of cockroaches in bathroom. Tried spraying ourselves but had to get hotel into doing something, didn t help much. Lost count how many we killed."

Mr. said, "The room is clean, service is good and the place is really very convenient to the beach and bars. And also have 10% discount if have dinner at the famous Savoey seafood which is exactly the next door. Excellent hotel for those who want to stay on patong beach"

Dustin said, "Hotel was decent value for the price. Room was average with the major set back being only having one room key which is also used to turn on the electricity so coming back to the room after a day out resulted in a very warm room waiting for you. The restaurant had decent food and the cocktails at their restaurant by the beach where very nicely priced. Overall, the experience was pleasant and would stay again in the future."
