Baba House Phuket Hotel

The rooms at Baba House Phuket Hotel measure between 37 and 44 m² and sleep up to six guests. Some look out over the mountains and one overlooks the pool, and several have air conditioning, blackout curtains and a flat-screen TV. Most rooms have a hair dryer, toiletries and a shower.

Rooms can have a balcony or terrace, an in-room safe box, a kettle, a microwave, a refrigerator, a closet and a desk, and free Wi-Fi is available in all rooms. Beds come in several set-ups depending on the room, and the building is accessible by elevator and by stairs.

Baba House Phuket Hotel has an outdoor swimming pool, a 24-hour front desk and a terrace, and there is an elevator for guests. The front desk is staffed around the clock, and daily housekeeping is part of the service. Free parking is available on site, and bicycle parking is also provided.

Business facilities, safety deposit boxes and a buzzer or wireless intercom are available, and English and Thai are spoken. The property also offers internet access, satellite or cable channels and a telephone, and free Wi-Fi is available in all rooms. Bottled water is available from the property, and the swimming pool and the terrace are both outdoors, so guests can spend time in the open air.

Thep Anusorn Road runs through Wichit, a mainly residential district at the edge of Phuket Town, the island's provincial capital. The town is where Phuket's Sino-Portuguese shophouses, small museums and everyday markets are, so the area suits anyone who wants to stay in town rather than on the sand. The beaches are a drive away.

Chaithararam Temple (Wat Chalong), the island's most revered Buddhist temple, is 3.1 km away, and the Big Buddha, a large white statue on a hilltop, is 6.5 km away. Closer to the hotel, the KruSingsornsilpa & Art Gallery Phuket is 600 m away, and Patong Beach is 8 km away. Phuket International Airport is 28.2 km away, so arriving by air means a road journey into town.

Back at the hotel, the outdoor swimming pool gives you a place to cool down after a day out. A good day could begin at Wat Chalong, move on to the Big Buddha and finish on the sand at Patong Beach, which has the island's best-known nightlife. The Phuket Botanic Garden offers shaded paths for a quieter morning. Returning to Phuket Town in the evening leaves time for the street food near the old town, which is a good way to end the day.
