The best thing about the hotle is that it is next to central plaza which is good for shopping and cinema. Otherwise there is not much point as that is the only reason for the location, Average rooms, average breakfast, friendly staff. More

We stayed here on a Saturday night ready to get the early ferry to Phi Phi which worked very well - the reception staff can organise this for you (we paid for a transfer to Ko Lanta via Phi Phi which cost 1000 baht per person). The hotel is on a fairly busy road which meant it was quite difficult... More

Dara hotel is not a fancy, but if you know about phuket town area, this hotel's condition is the best! Frankly speaking, it is hard to move to phuket town, so if you need to go to town often that will be hard. This hotel is just perfect for shopping, specially complimentary tuktuk service between hotel and central festival. Central... More

Let's start with the positives: Dara Hotel is a budget hotel in close proximity (150 metres) to Central Festival Shopping Mall. There is also a free tuk tuk service to Central. The aircon worked well and was quiet by Thai standards. The pool area is a lovely spot to catch some sun in the afternoon. We booked a Junior Suite... More

We paid around 2000 baht (70 US dollars) for the room in this hotel and to be honest, i was quite disappointed with many things there. (Before we stayed in Patong beach for the same price, nad the hotel was much better). The reception area looked very clean and nice and the stuff was smily, but that was the only... More

Having visited Phuket several times, I opted to stay away from the typical Beach area. As it turned out, a positive move! Theme : Dara Hotel has the qualities that will appeal to those in search of stylish accommodation, yet is homely and comfortable, at very reasonable rates. From at the reception area, to the cafe/restaurant (located next to the... More

Why stay at Dara when we were at Phuket? Dara Hotel is located far from the beach and at a main junction of busy roads. We chose to stay here after 10 nights at Naiyang Beach because we wanted to be closer to some activity for a change but yet not busy Patong beach, hence the choice. Transport to the... More

my junior suite room is so big and complete with mini bar, toileteries, balcony, bathtub and a small area for u to put ur luggage and a place to change after bath. We can even swim in the late hour as long as we dont make any noise. Its a good hotel but far from beaches.. Have to pay 700bht... More

This place is modern and colourful, crisp and clean. The owner has aimed to offer something different on the market and achieved it quite successfully. I was a little thrown on booking in to have to pay upfront for 3 nights, without even seeing the rooms and also a 1000 baht bond against the mini bar, but paying without seeing... More
