Karon Beach Pool Hotel

Very basic budget hotel on a main street. The entrance is a bit hidden so it's easy to find. Staff ok. Pool small but clean and ok. I stayed in one of the small houses/villas. The bathroom was so small that the shower was really close to the toilet. Big enough though. There was enough hot water. There were a few insects inside, this is a ground floor room. The air conditioning worked as it should. The bed, a bit too hard for me, although I like hard beds. The staff warmed up slowly. I felt unwelcome on the day I arrived, but that changed later. For the price I thought it was a bit overpriced. But not bad. The atmosphere was easy and relaxed. No partying at this hotel. Laundry was a bit cheaper outside the hotel. They also rented motorbikes, the price was the same as others, but the bikes were not very good, but they worked. I didn't eat anything at the hotel except breakfast, which was very good.

Just a fierce homeless guy. Climbing to the 3rd floor is like climbing a mountain to a temple. The windows are dirty. The beds are dirty, the towels are dirty, everything is dirty. It's on the road. No parking. One room was given without windows at all. It's as if the fisherman had been put in a closet.

Hi all. I didn’t want to write a review, but then I think that no one warned us, we will remain silent and again some family will suffer. In general, guys, take pity on yourself and your children, your health and nerves. Don't set foot in this hotel. Why ? 1. Terrible location! The hotel is located right on the road. This is not just a road, like a highway with 4 lanes. Traffic is very active both day and night. 2. An eerie noise comes from here. Although the hotel staff say that they have super armored windows there 😂 the noise is so loud that you feel like they’re hitting you over the head. We only slept in Birushi! 3. The room is honestly not bad. They fell for the fact that the parents’ room was separate from the children’s. That's all the positives. Since one window faces the roadway, you definitely won’t open it. The balcony on some technical part overlooks the roofs and air conditioners and the heat is unreal, so you definitely won’t rest on the balcony, you’re even scared to go out. Just sit under the air conditioning, like dogs in a kennel! 4. Because the hotel does not have its own territory at all. It's like a small cafe by the road, with a couple of tables, a reception desk and a tiny dirty pool. And terrible noise from the road plus breathing exhaust fumes. 5. By the way, you will also have to walk to the sea along this very road for a little less than 2 km and pray that the children and you will not be hit by a car or bike, because there are no sidewalks there. 6. Photos from the site do not correspond to reality. They seem to have one more or less normal number there and they take pictures of it. In reality there are roofs, canyons and a noisy road. 7. The hotel is not worth the money. For 9 nights we paid 103 thousand. Without breakfast. We waited three days and booked another hotel. I started having a migraine. Children sit under the air conditioner and suffocate from dust. It is impossible to get out, as I already wrote, the hotel does not have its own territory, and then there is a road. At the moment we are actively talking with the manager, but we are being refused a refund. They say it’s your health problems, but we have a good hotel. And they smile sweetly. And it’s really our own fault, we chose this hotel ourselves. So guys, I’m writing here so that you don’t turn out to be fools like us. 8. And the most amazing thing is that in three days our room was never cleaned! When I told the reception about this, they quickly gave me an answer: it turns out I had to ask them to clear out 🙈 We have been traveling since 2009 when we are active. We traveled from Turkey to the Maldives. Fourth time in Thailand. But nowhere have I encountered such impudence. Okay, they didn’t clean up, didn’t change the towels, didn’t bring toilet paper. We buy our own water! Tough! The most annoying thing is that you paid a lot of money for the flight, paid for the hotel, and in the end you sit under the air conditioner without the ability to open the window and breathe fresh air, you breathe in exhaust fumes. In the evening you relax on the roadway, walk to the sea along the same road, breathe the same breath. And you come from the sea to a dirty room too! Where there is not even water! Thanks to the hotel for ruining my vacation. This is our first negative experience during the entire trip and I really hope it’s the last.
