Arch39 Phuket Beach Front

+ This is the 3rd visit over the last 2.5 years, do there must be a reason for returning, right? Well location is excellent, staff are also very welcoming.. You are a short walk from Chalong Pier, which is where boat trips depart, so no lengthy travel time. Also, while Chalong itself is relatively quiet, there are some delightful bars & restaurants within a short walking distance. The rooms are also spacious & comfortable & water is hot. There is a kettle, but no coffee, etc, but these are easily obtainable locally. Family rooms are also great. Whilst there is no restaurant or bar, breakfast is served by way of a buffet daily. The downside is that the food is prepared off-site & there are no facilities for keeping the food hot. Disappointing if you want an hot fried etc, or Chicken sausage, but not a game changer? They do advertise as having a gym, or fitness room, but don't get too excited as nothing works (it didn't 2 years + ago) & there are no pins in the work station, so aside from

+ You won't find a hotel with better views from the bedroom then this.Absolutely breathtaking. The staff were all very helpful and the beds were very comfortable. The breakfast was a but limited but that won't stop us going back again. I spent my birthday here, with the afternoon swimming in the pool on the roof. i love this place.

+ Positive: The check-in was welcoming. The location is amazing and the room view was exceptional. However, that's where it ends.... Negative: I e-mailed the property twice (4 weeks before, and chased up 2 weeks before; no response. The general condition of the hotel is dated and worn out. Furniture falling apart and mismatching. A lot of dirt in "hidden" places (under the bed, tables, corners, ceiling, etc.). Towels and linen are old and brittle and the shampoo and shower gel is the cheapest and smelliest "stuff" ever. The worst bit: Breakfast! Everything is cold - eggs, pasta, pasta sauce, the lot! And I mean cold! Cooked and left in unheated containers for hours. My request to heat the pasta sauce and eggs was outright refused. We booked and paid for 5 nights but left after the 3rd night. Such a shame though. This place could be fantastic with some TLC and warm breakfast items!

+ It is in a fantastic location and the Hotel was perfect. The room was large and clean with excellent view over the bay.The beds are positioned so you wanke up to the view each day. The breakfast was ok to start the day with.We would stop here again as the price is very good too.

+ During the big holidays, all the Phuket hotels, especially the ones next to the beach, increase their room rates steeply. But Ach39 is still affordable. That's good! No need to inflate the price just because all the tourists from the west are coming to this paradise island. As for the room, it is well maintained and has nice cooling AC. The Wifi is strong and fast as Superman and the bed and pillow were very comfortable. The breakfast buffet was good with a big selection of coffee. I especially like the spaghetti with the spicy chicken sauce. The rooftop offers excellent view of the area and also has a rooftop swimming pool. I did not try the pool, but it does look nice to dip in. Some improvement points could be the parking area, which is quite limited and also the TV reception is not that good with constant delays. Other than these points, I really recommend this hotel.
