Chaphone Guesthouse

Very nice and clean guesthouse, room was spacious, we took one with private bathroom, very good location, 10 minutes from old town and fresh market, and 2 minutes from bus terminal 1 (it's good to know if you are arriving from airport)

No breakfast and no elevator, staff speaks very bad english

Located in the old town of Phuket this guesthouse is ideal if on a budget and want easy access to Rassada Pier ( ferry terminal for Phi Phi and other islands. Great local bars and local food establishments inc the delightful street food traders ( my favourite )..The property suited my purpose which was a 3 day booking in the middle of my Bangkok stay.. No hassle , staff very friendly excellent rates. Very deceptive property as it fronts a mobile phone shop where the reception is located at .. lots of information provided from reception including the booking of trips ( the cheapest too )..Not the savoy but not a backpacking hostel either...Would stay again. My room ( double ) I don’t think would be suitable for families (singles/couples fine) but there are 24rooms which may be fine..

Arrived after a long flight and wanted a few hours sleep before l ventured out , but due to extensive work being carried out at neighbouring property sadly I could not.. No big deal , staff where really nice. ( My issue is I would have preferred to be told work was being carried out before I arrived )...Drilling 9-5 .. no probs if you intend To be up early and out all day.

Great location about 10-15 mins walk to the famous Thalang Road. 7 eleven is just 3-5 mins away. The staffs were very helpful, and recommended a very good authentic local food stalls near Robinsons which is about 15 mind away (a must go). The price were reasonable for a budget traveller. Worth every penny.

Lack of elevators.
