Andaman Seaview Hotel

Good size room with really cold ac. Moved us to a quieter room when asked.

Bit old and our first room was very noisy. Forgot to collect us at the airport.

Location was good - right across the road from a lovely beach. They had an offer of alternative accommodation at Koh Samui which we took that was fabulous.

Bit old and dated, lots of mosquitos. Pool not very good - did not think it lived up to 4 star rating. However, they had an offer of alternative accommodation at Koh Samui which we took & that was fabulous.

It was close to the Kata Beach end of Karon and Kata is a much better area for holidaying. The hotel staff gave advice about cheaper alternative services which was appreciated. The hotel staff are obviously well drilled to be super friendly but it got to the point where my son tried to avoid entering the main lobby because he had to say 'hello' to so many different staff just to get to the lift. It became a little intrusive.

Some of the hotel was a little shabby. I also had the impression from the website that this hotel was right on the beach but it is not - across the road and down a driveway with a rubbishy land area to one side. Also bed was very hard and uncomfortable. Morning coffee was cold. Timber decking around the unsheltered pool was extremely hot on your feet. The breakfast was not the best we had in Phuket.
