The memory on on hotel

High-Quality Review Summary (English and Chinese)

✅ Highlights
1. Excellent Location
Most reviews say the hotel is located in the heart of Phuket Old Town, within walking distance of local restaurants, cafes, and markets.

"Location BEST … walking distance"

"Very close to shopping and restaurants. … perfect for a romantic trip."

2. Historic Charm & Unique Decoration

The hotel boasts Sino-Portuguese architecture, preserving its historic character while incorporating modern comforts.

"[The hotel] looks like a time machine… dark mother-of-pearl inlaid furniture, rooms decorated in Peranakan red or Nobel blue."

3. Friendly Staff & Good Cleanliness
Many recent reviews have highlighted the friendly front desk and cleaning staff and the clean and comfortable rooms.
"Clean and comfortable room. … Staff so helpful."
4. Good Value for Money
Despite its boutique style, the price is relatively reasonable. Many people find it a good deal to get such a unique room at this price.

⚠️ Potential Drawbacks
1. Weak Sound Insulation
Due to the old building structure, the walls and floors may be thin, making it possible to hear noises from neighboring rooms or in the hallway at night or in the morning.
"You can quite easily hear what's happening in the room next to you... The wooden floor boards are beautiful, but they might need to introduce carpets to dull the sound."
2. Limited Amenities
While it has a boutique feel, it's not a large resort hotel, and the amenities (such as a swimming pool and a large gym) are relatively simple.
3. Some Aging-Building Issues
Due to the historic nature of the building, some rooms may have worn floors or walls, or have a somewhat antique decor. Some reviews have mentioned issues with odor or sound insulation.

• On Trip.com: Rated approximately 9.3/10 (284 reviews)

This hotel has a very good reputation among guests.

Recommended for:
• Travelers who enjoy history, architecture, and the Old Town
• Those who want to stay in the Old Town and explore local restaurants, markets, and cultural venues on foot
• Couples, families, or friends traveling with friends who prefer "character" over luxury
• Those who want a high-quality experience on a budget

Maybe less suitable:
• Those who require a very quiet/soundproof environment (such as light sleepers or those with noise sensitivity)
• Those who prefer a hotel with extensive resort amenities (such as an outdoor pool, kids' club, or large gym)

📌 Tips for you (considering your location in Phuket and your travel plans):
• Try to choose a room facing the back or inner courtyard to avoid street/night market noise.
• For a good night's rest, avoid weekends/busy night market times.
• If you have a dog (remember you mentioned having one?), please confirm the pet policy with the hotel (whether it allows pets or what restrictions apply).
• Take advantage of the hotel's prime location and explore the Old Town's morning market, cafes, and restaurants on foot. If you're looking for amenities/vacation options (like a pool or ocean view), you might want to consider other resort-style hotels. However, if you value cultural experiences and a welcoming atmosphere, this is a great choice. #travel
