We very much enjoyed our stay at the Ratana Sakadidet Hotel. It is set on the main Sikadidet Road, in a primarily Thai neighbourhood, with very little of interest to see within walking distance of the hotel. To get around we downloaded the InDrive app and were able to secure cab rides for short journeys for around 100-120 baht, rather than pay 200 baht or more with Bolt or Grab. There are no Western restaurants or bars in the area, just small Thai eateries, street food stalls and a few karaoke bars. There is a 711 just around the corner from the hotel which was handy. There is a little fried chicken stall just outside the 711, the chicken there is delicious and only 25 baht per piece. The hotel itself is around 10 years old but has been very well maintained, in fact many areas of it appear to be quite new. We booked a superior room at 700 baht per night, very good value we thought. It was very spacious, bright, airy and spotlessly clean. The double bed offered a good night’s sleep, even though it was two singles pushed together which to us is not ideal. Power points are available both sides of the bed along with bed lamps. There was a small dining setting where we were able to enjoy our meals together that we had ordered online. There was plenty of cupboard space, a room safe, kettle and small fridge. Tea, coffee and bottled water is supplied daily. (There is also a micro wave and toaster available to use at reception). There was a small wall mounted TV with good reception and plenty of channel options, including many foreign channels. The WIFI was frustrating at times, very hit and miss. If you want to sit out on the balcony you will need to turn the AC off otherwise the heat and noise is unbearable. The bathroom is mid-sized and functional but the shower sprays water everywhere and the water is slow to drain away. There is a small open-air gym up on the rooftop with nice views of the surrounding area. The highlight of the hotel to us was the swimming pool. A mid-sized, open aired pool that was great to come back to and cool down after a hot and busy day out. There are several sun loungers available and the whole area is just very inviting and relaxing. The staff at the hotel were wonderful, always smiling and ready to offer assistance if need be. As a budget hotel we can highly recommend the Ratana Sakadidet. Footnote: We had originally booked through Agoda which has some type of arrangement with a company called OYO. On check in the Ratana Hotel would not honour our booking as apparently OYO had not passed our payment onto Agoda/Ratana so we had to contact Agoda to get a refund, which they have since paid. Our originally booking was 580 baht per night but we ended up paying the hotel directly 700 baht a night so be warned.

“Clean and Comfortable”

The hotel is not in the centre of Phuket town and is far from any beaches which could be a problem if you don't have a car or motorbike. Large clean and comfortable rooms. Good value for money.

The hotel is not in the centre of Phuket town and is far from any beaches which could be a problem if you don't have a car or motorbike. Large clean and comfortable rooms. Good value for money. Good WiFi and internet in the room. Recently upgraded and now has a swimming pool. Plenty of convenience stores and local food around in the area and there is limited food available at the hotel for breakfast in the morning. The staff are very friendly and speak good English. I have stayed here many times over the years and would highly recommend it.

Also a good spot if you just need a room before going to Rassada Pier in the morning to access Phi Phi, Lanta and Krabi. Clean comfortable and well managed. If you are willing to drive a stay here can save you money!
