Pros:

If I’m being honest, not absolutely one thing
The location was great however the location was not great enough to overlook the downfalls of the hotel

Cons:

We did not like anything the hotel looked nothing like the pictures we are convinced all of the reviews are fake
The shower was dirty and super small
Both front door and patio door had gapping - bugs and insects had full free will
The toilet was leaking
Much more

Good value for money!
Pros:

Hotel is in a great location, quiet and away from the party crowd. Near to Central Phuket too, which made it convenient to go there.

Cons:

There was a day where housekeeping missed out our room despite us indicating that we would like our room cleaned - no big deal but this was the only miss really.

Wish the gym had towels for us to use too.
