Metropole
Phuket, Phuket Town
The Metropole was in a good location for shopping. Rooms are a little
dingy but clean, and the service was great. Windows could use a wash
inside and out and bay side room windows were too high to see from
when sitting. Our fist room on this side of the building we did not
get much sleep due to the nightclub across the street with a BOOMING
bass. The last day we asked to be moved across the hall and it was
much better. Windows were lower too. The medium sized pool is outside
on the 4th floor with towels and a change room. No chairs the first
day but they showed up thereafter. Breakfast was an interesting mix
of Thai and western foods with plenty of choices. We did not eat in
the hotel restaurant otherwise. The Metropole is a good value for
the money. Liam Seafood restaurant across from Ocean Shopping Mall
provided our worst meal in Thailand. A nice fabric store is near the
hotel on Phuket Rd. Lots of small shops and restaurants in the immediate
area with good barganing fun. Central Festival Phuket was very overpriced.
The free hotel shuttle took 40 minutes and stopped at many hotels.
We paid 150b for a one-way taxi home. |

We found the hotel clean,tidy & comfortable.The staff were cooperative,
the food was excellent. But the new block under construction has diminished
some of our great feelings, otherwise, it is very appropriate for
comfortable staying with family in Phuket. The location in Patong
Beach is quite great. Thanks A.B.Siddique Bangladesh |

Lovely hotel. Friendly staff. Clean and big room and very comfortable.
In the middle of Phuket town and a very convenient place to stay -
we stayed here from the airport before going on to Ko PhiPhi. |

Second stay there in a month which says something. Aksed for a room
at the fornt but this was too noisy because of the air con outside
so we changed to a room at the back which we knew would be noisy until
midnght due to the music venue close by. The breakfast buffet is large.
The Run of the House bedrooms are large and clean as are the bathrooms.
Would stay again. |

Metropole Phuket, Phuket Town
Large clean room with big bed, clean sheets and great views (given
that it is in the centre of Phuket Town). Bathroom was large, smart
and well maintained. Location is convenient if you want to be in the
centre of town, it s not too difficult to drive out of town, and there
is a free shutle service to Central Shopping Centre if that s your
thing. Breakfast was a large buffet - lots of Thai and Western stuff.
We paid 1,500THB a night for our stay and were very pleased with the
standard. We have stayed in quite a few Thai hotels in this price
bracket and this was as good as any. The only problem was that from
our room at the back, despite being on the 17th floor (1704), you
could hear live music from a bar outside until about midnight - more
annoying than deafening. If you are going to Phuket for the beaches
etc then Phuket Town is not the place for you. My recommendation would
be to stay at the beach and visit PT by bus/taxi etc for a day which
is easily done. |

Metropole Phuket, Phuket Town
Hotel is well located in the center of town. Rooms are nice, clean.
Bathroom is clean and large. Big problem is lack of hot water. Only
luke warm regardless how long it runs. Have heard this is the norm
for the hotel. Breakfast buffet somewhat limited get there early before
the tour groups come and eat all the food. Gym is not much more that
one treadmill, one bike, and a small universal machine. Do get the
traditional thai massage, very reasonable for a hotel, 2hr for 500
baht. |

Metropole Phuket, Phuket Town
Good clean quiet quality hotel. The staff are VERY helpful. We got
screwed a bit from a tour company unrelated to the hotel and they
called and sorted it out for us at no charge. Good breakfast buffet
style. Plenty of choices. Great value for money on an overpriced island |

Metropole Phuket, Phuket Town
The hotel was in an excellent location. The room and communal areas
were fine and the hotel offered inexpensive and comprehensive buffets
for lunch and dinner. We can t think of any negative points, and I
would certainly stay there again if I were ever to go to Phuket again.
From what we heard from fellow travelers, being in Phuket City was
an advantage from those like us who do not lie on the beach or party.
