About Blu Monkey Boutique Phuket Town

Blu Monkey Boutique Phuket Town is a small, charming accommodation located on Phangnga Road in the heart of Phuket Town. Guests can easily reach the historic streets of the old town, the local markets, and the old Phuket bus station from here. Situated on the upper floors above the Origami Café, the accommodation offers a quiet, secluded atmosphere despite its central location.

The rooms are praised by guests for their exceptionally comfortable beds and tastefully decorated bathrooms with shower and bathtub. Breakfast is included in the room rate and served in the ground-floor café, lending a relaxed, family-like atmosphere. The decor features a clean, minimalist design that perfectly complements the boutique style. As a bed and breakfast, it offers a more personal experience than a large resort, so guests should adjust their expectations regarding staffing levels and amenities.

Before booking, please note the following practical information. The entrance is not directly visible from Phangnga Road but is located at the rear of the main building. First-time guests should therefore look for the signs at the back. There is no elevator, so luggage must be carried upstairs. The reception may not always be staffed in the evenings. Guests arriving late are therefore advised to contact the hotel in advance to arrange check-in. It is strongly recommended to confirm your arrival time directly with the hotel.

    The hotel's location on Google Maps was incorrect. It's located above the Origami Café. The hotel/café entrance is at the back of the building, away from the main street. The small Origami Café, which serves the best Instagram-worthy breakfast, is on the ground floor. Floors 2-4 house the rooms of the Blu Monkey Boutique Hotel in Phuket Town. We booked a twin room with a shower and toilet. The room overlooked a brick-lined backyard/balcony (good for doing laundry) and had a ceiling fan. It would have been nice if the hotel had provided a clothesline. There was a constant musty smell of sewage in the room. It's probably mosquito season, as there were always mosquitoes in the room. The thin curtains in the room were poorly hung and didn't completely darken the room. There was no fan in the room. Water temperature and pressure were problematic during our five-day stay. The cleaning staff did a good job, as the bathroom was clean. The common area on floors 2-4 was spacious and beautifully designed – perfect for Instagram. On levels 3 and 4, you'll find refrigerators for your personal food and drinks. The café and reception are open daily from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Guests receive the password for the main entrance and the metal door on level 2. Nearby, you'll find a massage spa, a manicure and pedicure studio, a 7-Eleven, and several snack bars. The Sunday market is a 9-minute walk away.

    My wife and I were delighted with our stay. It's a boutique hotel, so don't expect the same level of service as a resort. It was very cozy. The bed was the most comfortable I slept in during my entire trip to Thailand. And the café on the ground floor offered a fantastic breakfast. – The shower was a bit awkward and it took a while for the hot water to come into the room, but otherwise everything was wonderful.

    The reception is unmanned and the entrance locked in the evenings. There is no elevator, so luggage has to be carried upstairs. Unfortunately, we didn't find the staff particularly friendly or helpful. The only contact we had was at check-out.

    Tips for visiting hotels and resorts

    Compare the rates of online travel agencies and direct providers.

    After finding a deal on Agoda or Booking.com, you should always check the hotel's own website as well. Many Thai hotels offer a best price guarantee or extras like free breakfast when booking directly.

    Location is more important than the stars

    A well-located 3-star hotel is often better than a remote 5-star resort. In Bangkok, proximity to a BTS or MRT station saves hours; on islands, proximity to the desired beach is crucial.
