Staff are the best part of this hotel. Sam made us feel welcome and helped us organise the trip months before our actual trip. On the trip, I got badly sick (very upset stomach), I won’t sugarcoat it, I didn’t make it to my room and got sick on the stairs, staff were so understanding. Sam even made me a generous bowl of white rice to get me something to eat. Deng (I think is the name of the lady who welcomed us) was so lovely and also showed genuine interest in helping us during our stay. Toast, jam, water and coffee was available 24hrs a day and the aircon in the rooms was very good. Also, 5m walk to an amazing surf beach. If you want to feel safe and in a community-like place, book Kata Bai D Inn.

Beds were probably a bit hard, and there was no lift (although the no lift is not really a problem when you travel light)

prompt communication. very close to beach yet on a quiet street so has great privacy. Sam was very helpful with arranging transport too. 10/10 accommodation.

A clean, cozy property close to the beach and food options. Sam was a great host and we enjoyed talking with him during our stay. He helped us quite a bit. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the open lobby area was a great place to sit.

Nothing!

Very nice hosts! Especially that they have thought of details, such as towels for beach, refreshening watermelon in the fridge, option to make some sandwiches. The room itself was simple, but very clean and also had a rack to hang swimming suits, towels. Location was also nice, close to beach. Overall a nice stay for the value.

There were a lot of nights where other guests were sooo loud in the corridor and as the walls where thin, could hear all the noise and talk and stumping, it was disturbing. Also the bathroom looked a little outdated and would need some refreshing up.

The wonderful Sam & Kee & their fabulous staff run the best inn/guesthouse I’ve stayed in - anywhere! Super chill place, extremely clean & comfortable rooms with all the details covered from blow dryer, fridge, laundry rack, kettle, shampoo etc. I stayed here in Jan 2024 & came back for 10 days this trip. 4 min walk to the beach. There is a toaster, microwave, toaster oven & condiments for guest use & they have bread, jam for toast in the morning! And tea, coffee hot water 24/7. The ladies who clean & look after the inn are special. I wish all the hotels & guesthouses were this welcoming. Sam & Kee are the very best.

What a lovely place to stay. It gives hostel vibes in terms of it's community space in the lobby with free coffee, tea, hot chocolate, and water melon, but with nice big hotel suits, with 2 rooms and en suit bathroom. Lovely decor, nice big clean rooms. Sam and his wife (the owners) might just be the nicest people on the planet! They held a community new years eve lunch for current and past guests, and even though I had to move to another hotel because unfortunately this place wasn't available my entire stay in Phuket, sam and his wife still allowed my to borrow beach towels, come for tea, etc - just lovely. 2 minute walk from Kata Beach and about a 15 minute walk from the world class (in my opinion) Kata Noi Beach. If you are traveling to anywhere near this area, do not stay anywhere else! Great for solo travelers, couples, and families.

The hotel was in a great location with only a few minutes walk to the beach and restaurants. The rooms were clean and spacious and the bed was comfortable. Sam was also such an amazing host! Him and his wife gave us a lift to old town and he spent the morning, driving us around and showing us the sights. He also took us to an amazing noodle restaurant and treated us to dessert! Thank you for your hospitality Sam!

Wonderful stay, close to: Kata Beach (beautiful sandy beach with a very gentle descent into the sea), grocery stores, restaurants, bus 40 BHT/person starts here and goes to Phuket Old Town, you can get off anywhere. The room is comfortable and cleaned daily if you wish. You receive bottled water, toiletries, and fresh towels daily. In the common area, available 24/7: instant coffee, chocolate, tea, toast, butter, jam. Beach towels are available, with easy pick-up and return. Great atmosphere, very friendly lady at the reception. Thank you and best regards ❤️

The hotel is closed to the street, so you can hear the traffic. It was not a big deal for us🙂

I love how accommodating Sam is. He was very responsive on my inquiries via WhatsApp. Deng takes good care of me and went above and beyond in making sure I am comfortable. Meow the night duty receptionist is also very helpful.

I wasn't given information beforehand that my room is on the 4th floor and that there's no elevator on the building. Only 2 working electric fans at the lounge/reception area. More is needed as the weather is very hot and humid. Oven toaster needs to be repaired or replaced. 2 bulbs in the room isn't working.

My stay at Kata Bai D was superb. Upon checking in, I was greeted by Deng and she was delightful. The staff here really cares about your stay and will do everything they can to make it wonderful. I got upgraded to a huge suite and the location was simply perfect. You also get access to a ton of amenities. This place was amazing.

My room was facing the street so there was s decent amount of noise. But the noise settles down after a while. There’s also no elevator, but I didn’t find it to be a huge issue.
