Location & what to see
Chinotel sits on Ranong Road in Phuket Town, the provincial capital of Phuket. The old town's streets are lined with Sino-Portuguese shophouses that reflect the area's Chinese, Portuguese and Thai heritage. The Phuket City Municipality Public Fresh Market is 50 m from the hotel, so fresh food and everyday shopping are close at hand, and the streets carry more local life than the beach resorts on the west coast.
Phuket Old Town begins a few hundred metres from the hotel, and within it are Wat Mongkol Nimit, the Thavorn Phuket Museum and the Lard Yai Sunday Night Market, so most of the sights can be reached on foot. Beaches are further afield: Patong Beach is 10 km away on the west coast, and Chaithararam Temple (Wat Chalong), the most revered Buddhist temple on the island, is 6.8 km away. Phuket International Airport is 26.8 km away.
A good day here starts with a walk through the old town's Sino-Portuguese streets and a visit to the Thavorn Phuket Museum. Then take in a trip to Wat Chalong, and finish with street-food stalls and the Lard Yai Sunday Night Market in the evening. Most of the day can be done on foot, with the temple visit the only stop that needs transport.
What guests say
Travellers rate the service most highly at 8.4, with cleanliness and value for money both at 8.2, and the location, at 8.1, is also well regarded.
