The Bloc Hotel Phuket

The staff provides excellent service and creates a welcoming atmosphere. Guests praise the delicious breakfast and convenient location. Modern, clean rooms with a rooftop pool offer comfort and a great view.

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.

Don't get me wrong, but I was really surprised by this hotel, given its prime location in the heart of Patong, where all the action is. Check-in was smooth, and I had booked a partial sea view room (highly recommend, as other rooms face nearby buildings). The room itself was modern with a comfortable bed, great shower, and strong water pressure.   The downsides? The balcony was quite small—but let’s be honest, who comes to Patong to sit on a balcony? Also, the duvet cover wasn’t properly secured and felt a bit unhygienic, so I had to tie it myself.   Since the hotel is right next to Bangla Street, it’s not the best choice if you're looking for peace and quiet. That said, the noise didn’t bother me too much, It’s mostly loud music coming from passingtrucks, and general street activity. Keeping the AC on full blast helped drown out most of the noise.   What I loved most was the location, just a short walk to the beach, shopping streets, and Bangla Street. Plus, there are some fantastic seaside restaurants nearby!
