Orchid Hotel and Spa Kalim Bay

Best budget hotel in Phuket except the dustbin area just in front of the hotel entrance. The hotel is located at a great place of phuket new city. This is close to other hotels like Patong Lodge hotel, Andaman etc. Between the sea and the hotel, there is only one obstacle and that is the main road. So, the hotel is so close to the sea. It gives a great view of sea from its balcony. It is located at a calm environment compared to locations near Bangla Road or Patong Beach area. Kalim Bay beach area is quite, less traffic jam and less commercial than patong or other part of phuket city. So, you can stay at your own, without much crowd with less expensive surroundings. This area is dominant by Muslims so you will get so many halal food options around the hotel. From the beginning of the evening, mobile food carts starts opening on the roads besides the sea and in front of the hotel. So you will have good halal food with less price. You can have dinner or lunch options within 50-60 baht per person. You will get Phi Phi Island tour packages and Phi Phi Ferry tickets right at the reception of this hotel at cheap rate with pick up and drop off services. You will get bike rent services just the road beside of this hotel at cheap price. Hotel staffs were so kind and helpful. If you arrive at the hotel earlier than to your check in time, they will let you keep your luggage safely and provide washrooms to change or freshen up. The rooms besides swimming pool gives you a vibe like having a private pool area,, but unfortunately, the pool was not clean. The rooms are amazing to view. It has so many elements those give aesthetic and classical looks like wall mirrors, beds, dress table mirror etc. Our room came with complementary breakfast but we couldn't avail this because breakfast was supposed to be started at 8 AM, but our pick up microbus came at 7 Am to take us to the Rasada pier to catch the ferry to Phi Phi Island. But the man on duty at the reception, made bread toast, provided butter and jam with coffee and tea, as limited breakfast option. Everything of the hotel, including the room rent and facilities were great except there was a huge dustbin area just in front of the hotel entrance. So there is a odor every time during your stay, especially you can't sit on your balcony or at the hotel front beautiful outdoor lobby because its like the whole city's garbage is thrown just in front of your place.

This hotel was super comfy and good located! I don’t know why they have some bad critics on comments. I’m a traveler and been in many different hotels, and in this one I had a great time, they have a 24hs help desk , the view from the penthouse room was amazing, any annoying noises at all. And yes, there is a trash point next to the hotel, but you can’t even notice, is not that bad. People from the hotel super nice! And the swimming pool was ok as well! Great time here

Очень понравился отель, за свою цену это просто находка, очень хороший сервис, они относятся к гостям очень уважительно. До пляжа пешком пять минут, рядом есть разные кафе и магазины, а также аптеки. Номер чистый, есть выход к бассейну. Я бы с радостью вернулся в этот отель.

Хороший отель. Не много староват.

Bien placé, chambre propre mais la piscine il faut vraiment nettoyer les transats, personnel très gentils.

這是我修過的最差的酒店，沒有之一，行李自己搬5樓，沒有電梯，沒有停車場，讓你停車在路邊，房間衞生極其糟糕，你不説，她就壓根不打掃，你説了，他給他糊弄打掃一下。毛巾上面有大便一樣的東西，噁心至極。
