Pretty decent, quiet and serene, big rooms/”

First time to Phuket, indeed first time to Thailand. I picked Villa Atchara based on online reviews and the price. I was not dissapointed. You have to tell your taxi/mini van that it is just behind Novotel and they will have no problem finding it. There are only few people at the hotel speaks good English but generally you can make out what they are trying to say. The lady(I forget her name, early 30s was very helpful). Upon arrival I was greeted and given a small welcome drink, that really help after about a 45 minutes travel from airport. The room size (I got a deluxe) is pretty decent on second floor. Almost 90% customer there are European and they are friendly. The hotel is kinda in the middle of an alley but it is pretty safe, I walked back from Bangla Road(around 15 minutes walk) around 11PM and never had problem. There are a small trip package booth and a laundry service (50 Baht/KG) outside the hotel which I patronaged both, the lady arranged some great trip and also mini van for me to go to airport at the last minutes. The price is decent and they deliver what they promise. Outside on the main road there is a small mini mart which you can purchased thing like mineral water, ice cream, liquor/beer, snack etc.. and there is a bus stop to Phuket town just at the roundabout. In short, I think it locates at a convenient location and far from the noise/crowd from Bangla Road. I never had a chance to use the hotel facility like swimming pool, pool table as I was out all days. The free WI-FI at the hotel works great. I known an Australian couple during the trip and they paid about the same price as me for staying at a guest house, which they said it is very noisy in the morning with people shouting and car passing. So mine is a much better choice. I will recommend Villa Atchara, it is great value and safe as long as you don't expect any luxury. One more thing, the mattress is supportive, not too hard nor too soft, just right.

Fantastic Family Hotel with Unforgettable Service”

I stayed in another hotel last year which was great but i wanted something closer to the beach. Villa Atchara is about 2 minutes walk to the beach. It is 15 minutes from all of the "action" (and i definitely mean action). I got a great deal on a room for myself and my son Tommy. I was very lucky as the hotel is a VERY high standard. My bed was huge. I had a balcony with an amazing view. I could sit there and drink the great Thai beers from the Family Mart one minute down the road. The beers were about 70 US cents each. The pool was great. Very cool and clean. In fact everything was always clean. The food was also fantastic. Great breakfasts and tried 3 dinners which were also great. The Chef is a genius. All of those things are wonderful and appreciated. But it means nothing without the staff. I played up a bit in Patong. Well actually I played up a lot. I was never rude to anybody, but I certainly had fun. The staff at Villa Atchara never judged me for that. They were like my friends. The best friends you could have. They are there for you and will do anything to help. The hotel has a new manager Thaanee (sorry if i spelt wrong). She works a lot of hours and does not get much time off. However, on her one day off she took my son and I to a reggae club for lunch near Kata Beach and to a restaurant that night. She could have easily rested that day. We made some Norwegian friends, Eric and Elisabeth, and Thaanee got up 2 hours before her starting time to make sure they got their taxi to the airport. I was stunned. What great service. The owner Parn was also great to my son and I and has a wonderful smile. Nok was very cute. Tik has such great warmth for people. I liked her a lot. Ai was fantastic at breakfast time making sure we had everything. She is a very sweet person. Noy the cleaner could not speak much English but I had a laugh with her every day. All staff were wonderful and I consider them the best friends one could have

great place for a home away from home in thailand”

We stayed here two nights. The staff is very friendly and paid special attention to my 14 month old son, who loved every minute of it. We ate at the hotel restaurant for lunch and the food is fantastic. In fact, when we we out for dinner in Patong to see the sights later that night, I passed on the food at the restaurant and got room service when we got back to the hotel. The lobster soup is very good. Some may think the place needs updating, but we enjoy cozy, non-commercial places, so for us that only made Villa Atchara have more charm. We stayed two nights, but non-consecutive (went to Phi Phi) and we left my son's blanket and stuffed animal. It was returned to us almost immediately upon our second night there. Cons: -about an hour from the airport (but right across the street from the beach- no view though) -no double bed. before traveling with our son, this never bothered us, but since he sleeps in between us, the crack was a bigger problem for us than we anticipated. (there may be double beds available, we just didn't have one.)

Lovely small hotel”

We had a large group that booked 5 rooms. Villa Atchara has only 18 rooms, the staff were very accommodating, helpful, and adored all of our children there were 10 of them ranging from 1-17, room service was reasonably priced, as well as with the mini bar, great location close to the ocean, and a little out of town. There were Tuk Tuks at the end of the drive, a couple a restaurants with in a 10 min walk, as well as a pharmacy and a family mart. Great hotel, run by lovely people. Will definately stay again when visiting Patong again

Great Value, Excellent Service”

we stayed at villa atchara for two nights and it was perfect. we liked the fact that it was a short walk to the beach and some excellent restaurants. it's located a short motorbike ride from the crazy patong nightlife, and we were glad it wasn't right in the middle of it because it was a bit much. the staff was very helpful and friendly. they joked around with us and made us feel welcome. the hotel itself is lovely, with a nice pool and clean decent-sized rooms with comfortable beds.

Lovely accommodation”

We stayed at Villa Atchara in December. This accommodation is away from Patong hassle but in the same time walking distance to shops, restaurants and pubs. So it was definitely a good choice for us. They serve food as well. We had breakfast there the entire stay (it's convenient, breakfast and then 5 minutes walking for a relaxing day at the beach) and for lunch and dinner we went out. So, if you are looking for a decent place to stay, away from the busy and noisy streets of Patong, Villa Atchara is highly recommended.

Reasonable hotel on the edge of all the action”

We stayed at the Villa Atchara for 2 nights and found the location ideal for us - it is not right in the centre of the action in Phuket which means it is nice and quiet at night but only a 15 minute walk along the beach to get into the thick of it. The beach is literally a two minute walk from the hotel and the hotel also has a lovely swimming pool which we spent a lot of time in. The only downside to this hotel is some of the facilities in the room were outdated - we decided to stay in Phuket for an extra few nights but decided to book somewhere else as the air-con in the room wasn't very effective. Apart from that, the hotel was a good budget option if you want to be slightly away from the noise that is Phuket.

Superb service in cosy hotel”

We were warmly welcomed at Villa Atchara and felt like "part of the family". Such a cosy wonderful hotel with clean fresh rooms, good breakfast, good pool and only 3 minutes walk from Patong beach.

Relaxing stop over”

We stayed here for one night out in Phuket before hitting the real attractions of the Andaman coast (Ko Phi Phi and Krabi). For a one night stop in town (I don't recommend staying any longer), V. Atchara was the perfect hotel. Clean, friendly staff, and close but not immediately surrounded by the obnoxious Bangla road crowd.

Very nice hotel”

Nice surprise for a 3*. We had a standard room. The team is very helpful. The location is perfect (near the center), only 5 minutes with motorbike. The hotel is located near the Novotel Phuket Resort. We have also stay in this hotel and the Villa Atchara is really a better in terms of quality/price. The "negative points" are the breakfast (not a lot of choice)and the quality of the shower (the pressure of water).

Great Location and Staff”

I stayed in Villa Atchara for 2 days and then extended by another day. The hotel location given on Google Maps is wrong so please be careful if you're going by it. The address though is fine and if youre taking a taxi or minibus they should be able to guide you to the right location. In case you are lost, Villa Atchara is right before Hyatt hotel and right after Novotel. The hotel location is perfect, about 5 minutes walk to the Patong Beach and 15 minutes walk to Bangla Road. There is a bike rental place right outside the hotel and they are pretty reasonable. I really like the colonial style and the swimming pool is maintained very well. The staff are very helpful and polite and will give you honest recommendations for any query. My only problem with the hotel was the smell in the room. There was this ever present musty smell from the AC vents and it really was something you cant ignore. I really hope the hotel administration does something about it. But overall 4 stars!

Best place to stay in quiete Patong area”

The hotel is located in quiet Patong area within just 3 minutes walk to Patong beach and around 15 min walk to entertaining famous Banla road. The hotel Itself has everything to be ideal both for families, couples and single travelers. Nice and tidy inner yard with the swimming pool, elevator, delicious cuisine (especially pancakes))), very friendly staff, good location and many other aspects leave no doubt which place to advise my friends to stay in Phuket. Besides that I checked other places around and I can assert that it's number one hotel in value for money category and I would definitely come back there again.

Grand Villa hype hotel”

Very pleasant, villa type small hotel. Located at the northern end of Phuket beach. Quiet location, 11 min walk to nightlife if you interested. Hotel has very nice mid size swimming pool, located in the front yard. Staff is very friendly and polite. Rooms are spacious and clean, aircon and fridge. Some interesting channels on TV. Good value for money.

Great hotel in quiet surroundings”

This was a gem of a find in Patong. The hotel is centrally located at the end of Patong beach and up the hill a little. The surroundings are peacefully quiet, yet only a 10 min walk to the nightlife of Patong. The rooms are very nice for such a cheap price and the breakfast is very good considering its included. Get the best of both worls, with a nice, peaceful place to relax, but still close enough to enjoy the nightlife.

Nice comfortable rooms, very friendly staff”

The hotel is a 2 minute walking distance to Patong Beach (northern end of the beach which is quieter). Located inside a small alley, it is far enough from all the noise and crowds. Yet within walking distance of travel agents and tuk-tuks. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful and always ready to greet you with smiles. Makes you feel almost at home. The breakfast is good and you can eat sitting in the garden with a nice view of the pool and in quiet. The rooms are reasonably big, bright and nicely decorated. The bathroom is bigger than those in many 5 star hotels. It was a great experience staying there and I would definitely recommend this place to everyone!

Memorable stay”

We stayed for 5 nights at Villa and must tell you it was very good stay. Very close to Patong beach, Bangla road and other attractions in patong. Very nice and soothing white color building with beautiful swimming pool and garden on main gate. Staff was also very friendly and ready to help when required. Internet was amazingly high speed that you can easily use skype to video chat with your family back home. So overall was very nice stay and would highly recommend someone looking for peaceful surrounding and relaxing place to stay.

Top little hotel”

What a great little hotel. On the edge of Patong so close enough for a walk into the resort, but far enough away not to still hear it from your bed... Plenty of places to eat and drink or even get your laundry done. The room was large and clean with a kettle and a fridge. Breakfast was top notch and the pool was lovely- towels supplied by the hotel. We met a number of returning guests which speaks volumes for this place. I hope I get a chance to return some day.

Really nice small hotel close Patong Beach”

This hotel is small, approx. 15 rooms, but very nice. Extra wide bed was good. Located on the north of Patong beach. The staff was very helpful and friendly, and the food in the restaurant was delicious, and inexpensive. Pool area was quite small but nice and quite. Situation was excellent as it was close to the beach and very quite area. So if you want to go to Patong but afraid of noise and night life, and don't want to spend a lot for staying, this is a perfect place for you.

dream holiday”

Best room i have ever stayed in, was a executive suite for a very good price and felt spoilt..staff extremely friendly, helpful and lovely, rooms cleaned to perfection, pool lovely and plenty of deck chairs..food was very tasty and all reasonably priced..off main street at end of town so nice and quiet and within easy walking distance or taxi available, 7/11 shop down the road and a fantastic hotel that serves awesome food whilst looking over the ocean and watched the sunset.... only downside is owner wasn't very reliable, booked a return transfer and no one was there to pick me up and i had to find my own way and in the end paid double on what we had agreed so i would organise your own or really triple check with her that transfers are a go..but regardless of that, i would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this place..xx

Just perfect”

We had a very pleasant stay @ Villa Atchara................
