Great place if you are not new in Phuket
Pros:

Location was really good, near Central Mall, cafes, restaurants, pool and gym on the second floor, kind stuff that can help with everything.

Cons:

The only thing I didn't like was the laundry, exactly that they do not have their own laundry, but they can order for you, I gave them twice, but the clothes were not ironed, but also I think you can ask them to iron too.
