Uncle Yo House

Every room at Uncle Yo House has air conditioning, a private bathroom with a shower, towels and toiletries, a flat-screen TV, and a coffee and tea maker. The rooms also have a microwave, a hair dryer and a clothes rack, and a separate dining area is part of the room layout.

The rooms are set up with a king bed each, so the hotel suits guests who want a simple, practical room in the town centre with a bathroom of their own.

Uncle Yo House has an on-site restaurant, room service and a 24-hour front desk. Free parking is available, and free Wi-Fi covers all rooms, with internet services and Wi-Fi in the public areas as well.

The restaurant serves an à la carte Asian breakfast with local specialities, juice and fruit. Air conditioning is available in the public areas as well as in the rooms, and guests can communicate in English and Thai at the front desk and the restaurant.

The property is smoke-free and has non-smoking rooms, and the on-site restaurant and room service sit alongside the 24-hour front desk, with the rooms' air conditioning and flat-screen TVs completing the basic set of in-room facilities.

Uncle Yo House stands in Phuket Town, the provincial capital and the island's main urban area, where the streets are lined with old Sino-Portuguese shophouses and the pace is slower than on the beaches. The hotel is a short walk from the town's markets and museums, and the Phuket Red Cross hospital is close by. A local prepared-food market is also close by, so daily life here runs largely on foot.

Around the hotel, the Plein Poa Night Market is 650 m away and the Peranakan Museum, which covers the culture of the Peranakan families of the old town, is 1.1 km off. Chaithararam Temple, known as Wat Chalong, is 6.4 km away and is one of the most revered temples on the island. Bus stations serving the town are a short ride away, so getting around the island from here is straightforward.

The beaches lie further out: Patong Beach is 10.4 km away on the west coast, and Phuket International Airport is 27.8 km from the hotel. A good day could begin with the museums in town, continue with a trip to Wat Chalong by car in the afternoon, and end at the Plein Poa Night Market in the evening.
