The hotel itself is nothing special. We booked the junior suite through agoda.com. The hotel website has some room pictures which look very funky and nice but the actual room looks kinda shabby. The breakfast has very limited selection and does not change much every day. The hotel staff (not all) but most of them just stand there and do... More

This is an ok hotel (2-3 stars), but a bit off from everything except a shopping center. there is a decent little pool area and the whole hotel is extremely colorful, with one color brighter than the other one. Good for a night but i wouldn't stay long here as there are better options closer to the beaches. Friendly staff... More

The best thing about the hotle is that it is next to central plaza which is good for shopping and cinema. Otherwise there is not much point as that is the only reason for the location, Average rooms, average breakfast, friendly staff.

We stayed here on a Saturday night ready to get the early ferry to Phi Phi which worked very well - the reception staff can organise this for you (we paid for a transfer to Ko Lanta via Phi Phi which cost 1000 baht per person). The hotel is on a fairly busy road which meant it was quite difficult... More

Dara hotel is not a fancy, but if you know about phuket town area, this hotel's condition is the best! Frankly speaking, it is hard to move to phuket town, so if you need to go to town often that will be hard. This hotel is just perfect for shopping, specially complimentary tuktuk service between hotel and central festival. Central... More

Let's start with the positives: Dara Hotel is a budget hotel in close proximity (150 metres) to Central Festival Shopping Mall. There is also a free tuk tuk service to Central. The aircon worked well and was quiet by Thai standards. The pool area is a lovely spot to catch some sun in the afternoon. We booked a Junior Suite... More

We paid around 2000 baht (70 US dollars) for the room in this hotel and to be honest, i was quite disappointed with many things there. (Before we stayed in Patong beach for the same price, nad the hotel was much better). The reception area looked very clean and nice and the stuff was smily, but that was the only... More

Having visited Phuket several times, I opted to stay away from the typical Beach area. As it turned out, a positive move! Theme : Dara Hotel has the qualities that will appeal to those in search of stylish accommodation, yet is homely and comfortable, at very reasonable rates. From at the reception area, to the cafe/restaurant (located next to the... More

Why stay at Dara when we were at Phuket? Dara Hotel is located far from the beach and at a main junction of busy roads. We chose to stay here after 10 nights at Naiyang Beach because we wanted to be closer to some activity for a change but yet not busy Patong beach, hence the choice. Transport to the... More
