The Bloc Hotel Phuket

The location was perfect!! The view from the pool was amazing. The room however felt old and small. The light is the bathroom was very dim. The location made up for everything though.

Pros- The guest services at this hotel were wonderful. I arrived amidst the NYE chaos, and was welcomed with a cool, jasmine scented towel and crisp, cold water, which I definitely appreciated. Everyone was kind and helpful, the rooms are cleaned super efficiently and thoroughly, and the hall floors were so sparkling clean I swear I could use them as a mirror to reapply my lipstick. The bed was large and comfortable, and the shower had great water pressure. The rooftop pool was a sweet oasis with a gorgeous view of the beach with a bar for all of your beverage needs.  Cons- the location is extremely loud, directly in the middle of the party. If you’re under 30, or if you don’t have any trouble falling asleep behind the DJ booth at a rave, you’ll be right at home. The beach club next door starts bumping at 2pm and doesn’t stop until around 3-4 am. No kidding. Not to mention the street noise from the street- tuk-tuks with a full-on club in the back, honking, yelling and loud drunken conversations. It’s all very jovial, but extremely noisy.  I wore noise cancellation headphones every night. But it’s right across the street from the beach, near several night markets, and you are only a whisper away from every kind of transit you could possibly need.  Overall, this place is well worth the money if you’re looking for a clean, central location as a jumping off point for your adventures, and don’t mind a little chaos or sleeping with earplugs.

nice hotel

Central location (right in front of Patong beach and a few steps from Bangla road), friendly staff, modern and clean rooms, we also liked the rooftop pool with the great view. However the standard room is a bit small, same about the balcony, and the hot water in the shower come and go sometimes which can be annoying a bit. Except for these, it’s a really nice value-for-money hotel :)

Nice hotel, nearby the beach but so quiet so that we can sleep peacefully

Really clean lovely aircon friendly staff. Small gym had aircon too with a nice rooftop pool and bar area. Very near beach. Hotels provided towels for us to use at the beach. Outside tap also to wash away sand from feet. Thank you.
