The Lokal Hotel Phuket

Rooms at The Lokal Hotel Phuket measure between 22 and 31 m² and sleep either two or three guests. Some look out over the garden, and several rooms offer a choice of bed set-ups, with a king bed or two single beds.

Several rooms have a private bathroom with a shower, toiletries and towels, and some include complimentary spa access. Non-smoking rooms are available, and some have air conditioning and a window.

Facilities start with an indoor swimming pool and an outdoor swimming pool, and a fitness centre for guests who want to keep up their routine. The garden is part of the grounds, and massage is available on site.

Food is served in restaurants, a bar and a coffee shop, with food delivery too, and Continental breakfast is served alongside breakfast service in the mornings.

For practical needs there is an airport transfer, luggage storage, laundry service, daily housekeeping and cash withdrawal. The hotel has facilities for disabled guests and wheelchair access, bicycle parking is provided, free Wi-Fi is available in all rooms, and there is a meeting and banquet space.

Patong is one of the best-known beach towns on Phuket, a lively resort where bars, restaurants and shops line the streets close to the sea. The Lokal Hotel Phuket sits on Rat-U-Thai 200 Pee Road, with Patong Beach 350 m away and Bangla Road, the street of bars and nightclubs that gives the area its evening buzz, 150 m away. Both are close enough to walk to, so the sand and the nightlife are never far from the hotel.

Jungceylon Shopping Center is a large mall close to the hotel, and Patong's night market and Banzaan Fresh Market are good places to see the local food scene in the evening. Across Patong there are also a Chinese temple and a mosque, a reminder of the mix of communities in the town. Freedom Beach, 3.2 km away, is a quieter stretch of sand, and Big Buddha Phuket, 7.6 km away, is a large statue on a hilltop.

The hotel offers an airport transfer, and Phuket International Airport is 24.1 km away. A day could start with a swim in the outdoor pool and a walk along Patong Beach, then move on to the shops at Jungceylon before the evening stalls of the night market. In the evening the streets around the hotel fill with traffic and stalls, so an afternoon by the pool makes a good contrast.
