A huge thank you to Katys and the entire team and chut chef at Shark Restaurant, The Old Phuket for their exceptional hospitality. As vegetarians, we requested Aloo Paratha, and even though it wasn't on the regular menu, the chef kindly prepared it specially for us. They used fresh utensils and a clean pan to ensure there was no cross-contamination, which we truly appreciated. The Aloo Parathas were fresh, delicious, and made with great care. The staff was warm, attentive, and went above and beyond to make our breakfast memorable. If you're a vegetarian staying at The Old Phuket, I highly recommend Shark Restaurant. Thank you, Koy and the chef, for making us feel so welcome!

Great shortaway break with family with small kids. Strategic location. Karon beach just walking distance 5 minutes. Vendors, restaurants, convenient stores, transportation (tuk tuk) all are walking distance 5-10minutes. Super convenient! 👍
What a lovely place to spend a few days, with ell you need and everything is close by from the beach to charming eateries or market stalls. There is a bus route next to the hotel and you can easily get to the airport. Patong or the Old Phuket town. We would gladly visit the hotel again.
The resort makes a good first impression, clean, tidy and a peaceful setting. Chai gave us the warmest welcome, we felt so looked after by him our entire stay. It is in a great location with everything in easy walking distance. Our room 1301 had a great view of both the pool and the hills with the Buddha on top - and the bathroom has a bath. Great resort, top notch service and value for money, I can highly recommend.
The Hotel is surrounded by nice palm trees and a lot of nature which is lovely. The exterior looks good but the rooms need to be refreshed and mordenised from the furniture to the decorations, to match the price being charged and the 4 star tag. The rooms are very spacious though. The towels are worn out and clearly past their prime. The staff, like most people in Thailand, are genuinely warm and friendly, though the reception team could benefit from a refresher course on guest relations. Breakfast was quite disappointing. The only basic breakfast items available were bread and cold eggs (they should consider preparing eggs on request instead of making a whole lot of them at once), while most of the other dishes were heavy meals more suited for lunch or dinner—mainly rice, noodles, and spaghetti. It’s unclear why they don’t offer typical Western breakfast options such as beans, hash browns, bacon, or sausages. The hotel’s location, however, is excellent—close to the beach, lots of lovely restaurants, near local markets like Kata, and just a short trip to Patong for nightlife.
