The Melody Phuket Hotel

The rooms at The Melody Phuket Hotel measure between 26 and 32 m², and bed set-ups vary by room, with single, double and king beds among them. Some rooms have a city view and others a pool view, and Wi-Fi is free in all rooms.

Several rooms sleep up to three guests, and some are set up as non-smoking rooms. Features such as air conditioning, a desk, slippers, bathrobes and a transfer shower vary between rooms.

The hotel stands in the Kata area of Phuket, where the neighbouring beaches of Kata and Karon are both about 750 m away. The streets around it are lined with small shops, food stalls and massage places, so the beach, the shops and the evening stalls are close together. The island's temples and markets are a short drive away, and the airport is a longer journey by road.

The Kata Walking Street Night Market is 450 m away, and the Phuket Big Buddha, a large seated statue on Nakkerd Hills, is 1.3 km away. Chaithararam Temple, known as Wat Chalong, is the island's best-known temple and sits 4.5 km away. Patong Beach, known for its nightlife, is 6.6 km away, and Kata Noi Beach, a quieter beach, is a short drive from the hotel.

A good plan is a morning on Kata Beach, a visit to the Big Buddha or Wat Chalong in the afternoon, and an evening at the Kata Walking Street Night Market, a short walk from the hotel. Patong is the choice for a night out, though the drive there takes longer than the trip to the sights nearby. For a slower day, the beach at Kata and the hotel's own pools make an easy alternative to sightseeing.
