Kata Bai D Inn — Hotel in Karon

Had limited expectations heading in and Kata Bai D blew them away. Extended our stay by 2 nights and after a disappointing accommodation in Ko Phi Phi it felt like home to come back to Kata Bai D for our last night in Phuket. This was the only guesthouse type accommodation we stayed at this trip and while it's not hotel level comfortable it's superior to a hostel. 5 minute walk to Kata beach, restaurants right outside, you can't ask anymore of the location. We had two rooms, one was a suite and one was a studio...both were exceptionally clean and well maintained. Feels more like an apartment than a hotel. Air conditioning and sheets were very comfortable, some noise outside but it did not affect our sleep. Great value for money, and probably the main reason we would come back is the owner Sam. Be prepared to spend some time talking to him as he likes to talk...but he is wise and a very caring guy. Numerous past guests came to visit him during our stay, even if they weren't staying at his guesthouse. He truly goes out of his way to build relationships with his guests and make lasting friendships. Future guests please review the guide he has and treat it like home so we can all continue to enjoy Sam's place (and preserve...

This is our third time at Kata Bai D Inn and we will surely come back. Owned and managed in person by Sam, a most gracious and kind host, his lovely wife Kee and an amazing ever smiling team some of whom have been here for 10 years! Dang, Meaow and Nee. A 5 minutes walk to an amazing beach, complementary beach towels, beach mats and even kids beach toys! Super clean Inn, Rooms and bathrooms, we can vouch for the 3 visits in 2014, 2018 and 2023, extremely well maintained. Sam is an encyclopaedia on Phuket and can give you helpful recommendations for whatever you want to do in Phuket. Commercial relations apart, in Sam and Kee we found beautiful and kind hearted friends for life. The Inn is surrounded by Cafes, Restaurants, Bars, Decent Massage places and everything you need on a holiday. In addition complementary Tea, Coffee, Toast, Butter and Jam is available in the lobby 24 hours. The rooms are air conditioned, with a refrigerator, safe, hairdryer and a super comfy bed. You can always get 5 star service for a 5 star price, but if you want to experience Homeliness, kindness and friendship, we highly...
