Well.. Pretty sure I've got food poisoning. Worst Thai meal I've experienced; pork was rubbery, veggies were hard and the sauce tasted like vinegar. Only thing decent about the meal was the soy sauce I put on my sloppy over cooked rice. In conclusion, don't eat here. Ever.

Beaware: the “internet access” really means: PAID INTERNET... 100 baht per hour (3 dollars per hour) which is VERY expensive. The room is just OK, good space, old decor, a little bit on the run down side... GREAT water pressure. Good location, only a couple of blocks away from the beach. Nothing special about this place. After our 1st night... More

i have stayed in this hotel, on a few occassions, the staff are friendly enough, however the cleanliness of the rooms is poor. the pool, on a regular basis gets dirty with the water turning green!!! use the sea. the food is very poor, and exepensive, and if you stay at the front of the hotel, you will be disturbed...

The Ratana Hotel Restaurant was first visited last August and it is quite a coincidence that this review is written after our second visit on Valentines Day 2012. It so happened that last year when we visited Ratana a gifted Thai Singer was imitating Elvis but unfortunately this time" Elvis had left the building " . The place had been... More

For the price and how close it is to the beach it's a perfect place to stay while in Karon Beach, save your money and stay here and spend that out on tours. It's got everything you need nearby and the staff were very friendly. But make sure you head over to Tod's Tours just across the road they always... More

I have to admit that I'm surprised by the lowly rating of this hotel (51 out of 57 at the time of writing). Whilst not the best I've stayed in during my Asian travels, I found the rooms to be well appointed, the bathroom perfectly adequate and (most of) the staff quite friendly - the older guy at reception was...

We chose this hotel because of it's location, just 3 minutes from the beach. I have stayed in several hotels in karon before, and this was actually one of the nicest ones having in mind the location (near bars and stuff). One day we came back after 2 o clock in the afternoon and the room still wasn't cleaned, so... More

I stayed at this hotel for only one night and had to check out as the noise was so loud I had to leave. The noise was louder than the TV in my room and the windows were shaking from the noise. Further, the hotel never advised me of the noise and they were extremely unhelpful and rude about the... More

Location 1. Very good location as near to the beach and restaurants. 2. Very convenient if you rent a motorbike or just hop on a tuk-tuk to nearby Kata beach for more restaurants if you want options. Customer Service 1. I've never experienced staffs that were not well-groomed as the ones you can find in this hotel. They were borderline... More
