The location is excellent; central to everything and with its own minimart downstairs. I have stayed in Karon many, many times before; including at the Simplitel in 2013. The hotel then was new and was at a premium price. However the stay was far cheaper this time around - possibly due to the downturn in the tourism market - but the level of cleanliness was still excellent. THE STAFF Reception and Cleaning staff were superb. All smiles and professionalism across the board. However, on the second morning I went down for breakfast and was asked my room number, which I duly gave and went to the well-appointed buffet. As I was putting some bread in the toaster, I get manhandled around by the waiter and he shouts, "No! Stop!" "I beg your pardon." He points at my room number on his sheet and it says "RO" - Room Only. I'd thought I'd paid - as I had done for two rooms back in 2013 - for the included breakfast. Oops! "Sorry!" - said in Thai. As I start to walk away, feeling a bit sheepish, an older man comes into the dining room and yells at me from ten feet and getting closer, "Get out! You not pay! No food! Get out!" Now, far from being embarrassed, I'm fuming. How dare he? A simple mistake; I'd already apologised and was walking out. Now I'm red with rage. But still walking and not acknowledging the older man. I live in Thailand and have learned how to keep a "cool heart" as the Thais say. I don't know if I'll stay again. But I definitely won't include breakfast!

Clean, comfortable and welcoming hotel. Staff are friendly, food at breakfast was delicious, facilities were clean and cozy. This is a simple hotel (hence the name) but with all there is to do on Phuket, you don’t spend too much time inside and that’s why this place is perfect. Great location!!

Great place, simple but clean and modern. My room was very spacious. Staff was helpful, but the language barrier was tricky. I arrived a day late, and warned them twice by email and text, but nobody seemed to know about it and it took awhile to find my reservation. Besides that, great stay!

Location strategic, room cleanlines to be improved
We were arriving quite late and have no choice to our reserved toom. It was nightmare when assigned our room at 3rd floor which is upper floor of restaurant. There were many little crokoaches coming out whenever we moved. They came out from table, u der the bed and bathroom. I called to receptionist about this issue and ask for room changed. Fortunately, he was helpful and manage to get me another room at 6th floor. It was much more cleaner. I am happy they attended and fixed the issue immediately and new assigned room is pleasant to stay! We are satisfied at last! The breakfast was standard, fresh and they will continue refill when finished Very polite staff and we are happy to had our breakfast there daily. For location wise, it was strategic and not hustle. Simplitel is close to alot nice restaurants and seaside. We were moving around by riding bike in Phuket. There is a bike rent stall at few block away (right side when you step out from hotel). There are some nice coffee shops/ dessert shops nearby seaside. Is good to explore around in Karon beach.

Amazing hotel- stay here!
The hotel is in a busy location but we couldn’t hear any noise outside our door so we could sleep easily! The service was incredible and every people was wonderful and friendly. The breakfast was the best I have ever had at a hotel. If you are going to Karon beach and want a cheap stay with an awesome room and the best service and cleanliness you will see in Thailand you should choose this place. There is a reason it is rated to high on trip advisor.

Old poorly maintained hotel
The Simplitel Hotel Karon is like I should rot in the middle of the main street of restaurants and is about 350 m from the beach. The staff here are friendly The hotel is very basic & poorly maintained. The rooms are large. the king bed is actually two single beds pushed together with no padding to cover the join in the middle & the beds are very hard & uncomfortable. The pillows are also fairly thick & very firm. Not comfortable at all. The hotel is old & the floor tiles in my room will loose and they were broken tiles on the walls in the shower. The room has a mini bar fridge, a safe, tea and coffee making facilities, high chair and a desk. The shower has good pressure, but there only a shower curtain. They supply a tiny little bar of soap. There is an LCD TV with cable channels but the reception is poor. The internet is terrible, very slow & intermittent and drops out from time to time. Even the computer's supplied on the second level are so slow that they are almost impossible to use as it takes minutes even for an Explorer window to load. The fitness center has old dangerous equipment, is hot & stuffy and the machines are unplugged all the time in order to try and save power. The air conditioning is turned off for the same reason. The treadmill belts slip regularly and are noisy & dangerous and need replacing. There is no swimming pool at this hotel. The only good thing about this hotel is its location

Clean, friendly hotel, great location near beach
Great location in Karon beach, 5-10 minute walk to roundabout, 10 minute walk to beach. Hotel was clean, entire staff wonderful, friendly, very kind and service oriented. Family Mart minimart right next door, great places to eat all around - our favorite was right across the street, Reaun Talay, with free basic salad bar. The hotel was quiet, good sound proofing between rooms, a/c worked well, mini fridge, tea kettle & water, coffee, tea replenished each day. A very pleasant stay, would recommend.
