Review of Sino Inn Phuket

Reviewed August 6, 2012

This is my second stay at Sino Inn Phuket. The room is spacious, clean and located right next to Swedish Consulate. The hotel is next to 7-11 on the same side and Family mart (also convenient store) on the other side. It has free Wifi and the signal was pretty strong.

For those of you who are traveling from the Airport, the girl at front desk told me that there're airport buses run from the airport and will stop right in front of the hotel. I think this is a perfect place for budget travelers. The only thing that bothered me was a car parking space which seem to be not enough and always full at night. However,it's ok to park around the hotel as it has security guard keeping an eye on it for your safety.

The coffee shop on ground floor just finished last month and you can have nice coffee there. They did a good job on decoration and I think tourists will love it especially if they love taking photos like I do. I am very happy with my stay at this hotel and I also feel safe around the area.

Please vote "helpful" for me if you find this review helpful. Thank you very much.More

Quiet, clean, beautiful, pleasant
Booked 'blind' via Agoda & was positively surprised. Big, spatious room with great bed and well decorated. Should have a flatscreen TV though :) had all the satellite channels and good WiFi.

Could do better
This hotel s located on the outskirts of Phuket town centre. It takes about 20 minutes to get there.
The rates were high compared to other budget hotels in the town centre.
The rooms were spacious, the ones located at the front of the hotel were noisy with the continuous flow of traffic and during the night time, the loud music from the restaurant/bar next door.
There was also continuous drilling noise from the renovations on the second floor of the hotel. This took place for over a week.
The reception staff were found to be unhelpful and they had difficulty in communicating
in English. This issue caused the same problems for other guests as well.

Great time in downtown Phuket
We just had a great time in this hotel. It's located right in downtown Phuket and the hotel just opened in October 2011. Everything is new! The staff are friendly and the room size is pretty decent. The only problem is it doesn't have a lot of parking spaces.

The hotel is an ideal if you want to visit downtown Phuket for a few days. You can easily get public bus right in front of the hotel. The rate is pretty good compared to what they offer. I think it's because they just opened that's why the price is very competitive.

Tip : Ask for the room facing the back of the hotel. It has nicer view as you can see in the photos here. The view in the front is facing Kao Rung Hill and the main road.

Preis-/ Leistung nicht stimmig und ein Fehlgriff
Hier stimmte weder Preis noch Leistung.
Zimmer war extrem klein und eng zudem sehr hellhörig (nebenan Musikbar, Stimmen aus Nachbarzimmer hörbar),Glasfront heizte das Zimmer sehr auf was die Klimaanlage ausgleichen musste.Nur eine einzige (!) Steckdose,Spiegel unbeleuchtet und auch ohne Stromanschluss,Kissen waren zum schlafen untauglich weil zu dick und unbequem, Handtuch- und Wäschewechsel nur gegen Extra-Gebühr (vorab keine Info),kein eigener Kühlschrank auf Zimmer,ebenso nur Gemeinschafts-TV im Flur (Lautstärke hörbar),kein Safe vorhanden (weder Zimmer noch Rezeption),keine Kofferablage, kleiner Kleiderschrank allerdings ohne Kleiderbügel etc.
Es wurde keinerlei Service aktiv angeboten wie z.B. Rollerverleih o.ä. Man musste hier selbst initiativ mit Hilfe WLAN werden oder auf dort ausgelegte Flyer zurück greifen.
Größtes Manko:Das Personal der Rezeption war offensichtlich die kompletten 7 Tage meines Aufenthaltes desinteressiert und eher mit eigenem Internet und Handy beschäftigt.
Eine freundliche Anfrage auf ein upgrade aufgrund der Länge des Aufenthalts (und weil das Hotel nicht ausgebucht war) wurde nur gegen Aufschlag eingeräumt. Schade.
Ich habe in vorherigen Hotels eher überzogene Freundlichkeit und Interesse am Gast erfahren. Nicht einmal eine Begrüßung war hier selbstverständlich. Das war ungewohnt,komisch und enttäuschend.
Der Preis war insbesondere im Vergleich mit Unterkünften der Umgebung und aufgrund der gebotenen Leistung und Ausstattung m.E überhaupt nicht gerechtfertigt. Die Lage des Hotels war nicht sonderlich zentral sondern etwas abgelegen und deswegen auch nicht wirklich gut. Gut: Der Busanschluss zum Airport war direkt am Hotel. Massageshop direkt im Hotel integriert. 7Eleven und Restaurants in der Umgebung.
Fazit: Ich habe mich insgesamt leider sehr unwohl und vor allem nicht willkommen gefühlt.Das war in den vorherigen Hotels völlig anders.Ich persönlich
kann diese Unterkunft ausdrücklich NICHT (für mehr als eine Nacht) empfehlen.
