The hotel offers free parking and free Wi-Fi in all rooms, with internet services and Wi-Fi in the public areas as well. Air conditioning is available in the public area, and the property is smoke-free, with non-smoking rooms.

Laoteng Boutique Hotel sits in Phuket Town, the island's old provincial capital, on Phangnga Road in the Talat Yai area. The neighbourhood is known for its Sino-Portuguese shophouses and its museums, and it appeals to anyone who would rather spend the day on old streets and local markets than on a beach. The town's local bus station is right next to the hotel, so buses are easy to catch from here.

The Phuket Trickeye Museum and the Phuket Philatelic Museum are both within easy walking distance, and the Lard Yai Sunday Night Market is nearby. Further out, Wat Chalong, the island's best-known temple, is 7.6 km away, and the Big Buddha on Nakkerd Hills is 11 km away. Patong Beach, the island's busiest beach area, is also 11 km away, so the beaches are a drive away rather than a walk.

A good first day can start with a morning among the museums of the old town, continue with Wat Chalong and the Big Buddha, and end at the Lard Yai Sunday Night Market if your visit falls on a Sunday. Phuket International Airport, 27.1 km away, is the nearest airport to the hotel, while Krabi International Airport, on the mainland, is 68.9 km away.
