Categories

Cleanliness
6.5
Mixed reports: some guests describe clean, comfy rooms, but multiple comments note a dirty/small shower, toilet leaking, gaps letting insects in and other hygiene complaints, so cleanliness is rated below average.
Service
8.5
Service generally praised: friendly, helpful reception, 24/7 desk, staff willing to hold luggage and assist; a few serious negative reports of poor treatment or disputes exist but most reviews highlight good service.
Location
8
Location is a strong point for many guests (near Central Mall, old town, cafes and restaurants, convenient to central Phuket) though some note it's far from the beach or certain amenities (7/11) so overall location is above average.
Room Quality
7
Rooms are often described as spacious with comfortable beds, but issues include small/dirty showers, uncomfortable pillows for some guests, and rooms not matching photos; overall room quality is slightly below target.
Amenities
7
Amenities (pool, gym, second-floor facilities) are available and appreciated, but several comments mention broken or poorly maintained gym equipment, damaged pool tiles, and lack of gym towels, so amenities are rated moderately.
Value for Money
7.5
Mixed signals: some explicitly state good value for money, others feel breakfast is overpriced or mediocre; overall value sits at the target rating given the balance of positive location/service and some facility shortcomings.
Food and Beverage
7
Breakfast receives mixed feedback — some find it tasty while others call it mediocre, request more variety and halal options; overall modestly below target due to inconsistency and limited options.
Overall Experience
8.5
Overall impressions lean positive for many guests (great location, helpful staff, comfortable stay) despite notable negatives from some reviewers; net experience is generally good.

旧市街近くのリゾート風ビジネスホテル
Pros:

プーケット旧市街の近くにあって便利で部屋も居心地良かったです。プールやジムもあるし朝ごはんも種類が多い。

Cons:

私には設備などがリゾートホテルというよりビジネスホテルに感じた。朝ごはんがちょっと口に合わなかった。

Mes huit jours à l'hôtel DARA.
Pros:

La chambre, la literie, le ménage journalier, la terrasse, le restaurant. L'happy hour de fin d'après-midi.

Cons:

Le bruit de la route à 4 voie qui sépare l'hôtel du centre commercial Central Pucket.

Great hotel, but an unfortunate incident
Pros:

Dara is a very good hotel, with excellent facilities and a great breakfast.

Cons:

What I didn’t like was that, early in the morning, I specifically asked for our room not to be cleaned. In the rush to leave for an excursion, I had stupidly forgotten to close the safe, leaving all our money inside. I sent the request through Booking.com before 8:45 a.m., shortly after leaving the hotel, asking that nobody enter or clean the room.

Unfortunately, those instructions were not respected: someone entered and cleaned the room. When we returned, we noticed that €20 was missing. Fortunately, it was only €20, so I decided not to file a police complaint, but I did report the incident to the hotel, particularly because my explicit request that nobody enter or clean the room had not been followed.

Dobra cena w stosunku do jakości. Przyczepiłbym się tylko do nieprzyjemnego zapachu w pokoju.
Pros:

Strefa basenowa świetnie urządzona i zadbana. Smaczne śniadania i miła obsługa.

Cons:

W pokoju przez cały pobyt utrzymywał się bardzo nieprzyjemny kwaśny zapach. Zapach ten pojawiał się czasami na basenie.

Na siłowni potrzebna by była wentylacja powietrza i klimatyzacja, temperatura była wyższa niż na zewnętrz z bardzo dużą wilgotnością. Przydałaby się również naprawa ławki regulowanej, maszyny do wyciskania/wiosłowania oraz podpisanie ciężaru hantli. Mimo tych drobnych niedogodności dostęp do siłowni jest atutem tego miejsca.
