Similan Hotel

Wir waren bereits das zweite Mal bei Pascale und ihrem Mann. Sie sind super herzlich, hilfsbereit und erschaffen eine sehr familiäre Atmosphäre. Zu den beiden gehören noch ihr Hunde Daeng und Noisette, zwei super liebe Hunde, die sich über jede Streicheleinheit freuen. Wenn man Angst vor Hunden hat, lassen sie einen aber auch in Ruhe. Im Außenbereich/Gemeinschaftsbereich kann man sich gemütlich hinsetzten/Zeit verbringen und rauchen (auf den Zimmern nicht). Das Hotel ist etwas abgelegen, dadurch hat man Nachts Ruhe und mit dem Motorrad (da kann dir Pascale auch bei helfen) kann man alles gut erreichen. Fußläufig sind auch einige Restaurants in der Nähe. Zudem ist das Zimmer in einem sehr guten Zustand und immer sehr sauber. Für die Kaffeeliebhaber hat Pascale morgens immer einen leckeren Kaffee da. Das Frühstück können wir auch empfehlen. Wer eine ruhige Unterkunft, im Thai-Style sucht, ist hier genau richtig. (Schuhe draußen ausziehen, thailändisches Bad) Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder und können es sehr empfehlen.

Super kleines Süßes Hotel in Bang Tao, wer es eher Ruhig mag ist hier sehr gut aufgehoben. Die Besitzerin und ihr Mann sind sehr hilfsbereite und liebe Menschen und geben stets ihr bestes,helfen bei Fragen gern weiter und sind sehr Verständnisvoll,man fühlt sich hier sehr familiär und willkommen.Die beiden Hunden der Besitzerin sind natürlich auch zu erwähnen da sie einfach zu der lieben Atmosphäre beitragen,wer Angst vor ihnen hat,kann beruhigt sein,Sie sind absolut friedlich und gehen ein aus dem weg,aber Sie freuen sich natürlich auch über jede Streicheleinheit :-) .Die Zimmer/das Bad sind sehr Sauber sowie das ganze Hotel.Das Frühstück ist auch zu empfehlen. Ich habe Mich während meines Aufenthaltes hier sehr wohlgefühlt und kann dieses Hotel nur wärmstens weiterempfehlen.

Located in a very quiet neighborhood within walking distance to both Surin and Bang Tao Beaches. The room was clean and spacious with a private bathroom. Most importantly, the hotel is run by the most amazing, welcoming, caring people. They will make you feel like you're a family member. Thank you for all your help and wonderful hospitality.

Everything was perfect

Everything! The stay was AMAZING. Lady, the owner, made our stay extraordinary and we truly felt at home. She is the heart of a Similian hotel. She helped us organise a taxi to the airport when Grab cancelled, and she quickly reacted when we had a small electric issue with our room. She even woke up early in the morning when we were leaving to say bye to us and to give us a cup of coffee which was really great and nice! If we are next time in Phuket, we will stay here again. The place is in a really quiet area, with a few good restaurants nearby. The room was nice, cosy and really clean. Highly recommended! :)

Everything was perfect

L accueil très chaleureux . La propreté des locaux, chambre etc . La décoration très sympa.

Pascale et son mari sont des amours, très chaleureux avec un accueil exemplaire. La chambre est propre, grande et très agréable, sans parler des délicieux petits déjeuné. L’hôtel se situe proche de surin Beach, la plus belle plage de Phuket !

Rien

Номер чистый и уютный

Душ не очень удобный, номер на втором этаже ступени очень крутые, только для молодых легко можно подняться и спуститься. У кого есть аллергия на животных имейте ввиду у хозяйки две большие собаки, которые на ночь дислоцируются в общий холл, не понравилось что перед входом в холл нужно снимать обувь!

Odalar ve ev sahipleri

Uzun süreli tatil için güzel bir yer.Deniz ve yemek için çok iyi.Ancak merkezden çok uzak.

Cleanliness, decent size room, courteous host, homely feeling, good breakfast

L’accoglienza e la simpatia dei proprietari è stato veramente come essere a casa.Camere grandi e con tutto il necessario, teli mare, colazione super e consigli ed aiuti per qualsiasi cosa. Abbiamo adorato stare qui, ci torneremo sicuramente

A noi è piaciuto tutto

Потрясающий большой чистый номер

Нет такого

Saubere Zimmer, freundliche Vermieterin. Sehr gutes Restaurant um die Ecke.

Lamellenfenster, dadurch hört man alles von der Strasse. Daher recht laut. 15 Minuten zu Fuss für den Strand. Einige Vorschriften wie zb. kein Essen auf dem Zimmer, Klimaanlage nur laufen lassen wenn man im Zimmer ist, keine Schuhe im ganzen Haus. 2 Hunde im Haus. Keine Abtrennung der Dusche im Bad.

Amazing place to stay! Pascal and C, the owners are brilliant people who are always there to Help, who are working 24/7 around the hotel and their guests to make us happy and comfortable. It’s only 7-8min to the bang Tao beach. Lots of really good places to eat and 7 eleven shop if you need anything to buy. Breakfast at hotel is always fresh and big. We just loved to stay there. I would highly recommend this hotel ! Can’t wait to go there again soon x

We are very happy to have chosen Similan Hotel for our family holiday on Phuket. Pascal and Si were very kind and caring. Their house is very nice, clean and full of lovely interior details. A hearty breakfast with aromatic coffee, juicy Thai fruit, French marmelade and cheesy omelette is offered. Pascale always asks if you would like something special to be cooked. The room has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Surin beach is just 15-minutes walk away as well as plenty of food stores and restaurants. You may ask Pascal for anything - rent a bike or get a recommendation for dinner. She is always ready to help. I would definitely choose Similan Hotel to stay again. We felt ‘home away from home’ here. Merci beacoup.

Nice clean place, good position

Tutto, soprattutto il personale... La proprietaria carinissima e ti fa sentire a casa.....

Pobyt był fantastyczny. Gospodyni tego miejsca jest niezwykle serdeczna, mądra, dowcipna osoba, dbająca o nieskazitelną czystość. Serio - można jeść z podłogi - a to nie takie oczywiste, nawet w 5 gwiazdkowych hotelach w Tajlandii. Muszę wspomnieć o ręcznikach, które pachniały tak pięknie - marzenie. Serdecznie polecam - czyste, komfortowe pokoje, sprzątane co dziennie, obłędnie pyszne śniadanie - polecamy omlety - i atmosfera która jest domowa. Dzięki pobytowi w Similian Hotel Phuket nabrało dla nas przyjaznego koloru.

The owners are really nice and friendly. It was possible to rent motobikes. They suggested us great restaurants and place or massage. The room was clean.

Отличный отель. Хозяева (Паскаль и Си) живут тут же. Очень гостеприимные люди, готовы помочь с любым запросом. В отеле чисто и уютно. В номерах огромнейшие удобные кровати. Нам все вкатило)

Juste exceptionnel !!! Nous avons passé un merveilleux séjour. Merci pour votre accueil, votre gentillesse et votre bienveillance ! Hotel incontournable pour un voyage à Phuket 🙏☺️

Das Zimmer war sehr groß, die Eigentümerin super nett und die Lage war eine 10/10. Essensmöglichkeiten fussläufig erreichbar, nicht zu touristisch

Это определенно один из лучших отелей, в которых мы останавливались, а опыт путешествий у нас большой. Везде необыкновенно чисто, по-домашнему уютно, все продумано до мелочей. Атмосфера именно дома, а не отеля. Чувствуется рука женщины, умеющей создавать красоту. Повсюду милый и изящный декор - статуэтки, коробочки. Есть две очаровательные собачки. Расположение хорошее - не очень близко к пляжу (на мопеде --не проблема), зато тихо. Если еще будем на Пхукете, обязательно остановимся только здесь, потому что у этого места есть душа и имя у этой души - Паскаль. От всей души благодарим вас за доброжелательность и гостеприимство!

Härligt inredning och helt fantastiskt frukost

Lite hårda sängar - som vanligt i thailand

La gentilezza e la disponibilità di Pascale e di suo marito ci hanno fatto sentire come in famiglia. La colazione è super, le camere sono molto spaziose. La struttura si trova vicino ad alcuni ottimi ristoranti e a 15 minuti di cammino dalla spiaggia. È possibile noleggiare un motorino.

Se devo trovare un difetto...nella nostra stanza mancava un piccolo spazio esterno dove poter stendere per far asciugare gli asciugamani.. C'è però uno stendino in bagno.

Grosses sauberes Zimmer. Mega freundliche Gastgeber mit super leckem Frühstück. Super Standort.Es war so toll Ich werde das nächste mal wieder ins Similan Hotel gehen wegen den tollen Gastgebern

Потрясающий опыт! Спасибо огромное Паскаль и Си за гостеприимство идеальная чистота, потрясающие завтраки, готовность помочь в каждой мелочи, внимание и забота, интересные беседы и потрясающие собаки абсолютный стандарт семейного небольшого отеля

I ended up extending my stay because I felt so at home here. The property is incredibly clean, peaceful, and well-maintained. The owner and her partner truly care about their guests, they consistently went out of their way to make sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed, which i also witnessed the same behavior for all their guests. You can rent scooters there, buy very good breakfast that you ask the owner the night before, borrow umbrellas and pet their cute dogs! They made me feel welcomed from the very first day, their kindness stayed consistent throughout my whole stay. Even the small gestures, like introducing me to local fruits and checking in to see if I was doing alright because i got sick from the heat, it shows how genuine and thoughtful they are. The room was quiet, cozy and perfect for relaxing after long days. If you want a place that feels safe, warm, and cared for, this is the perfect spot. I’m really grateful for my time here and I hope I will be able to come back in the future. Thank you so much Pascale & Si ❤️ ———————————————————————- *BUT my god people… 1) the staff is not there to clean your mess “YeAh bUt wE pAY fOr iT” it doesn’t mean that you have to be so dirty, careless and make their day start with your insensitive behaviors… They are not maids, they are human beings offering us a roof and a place to stay while trying their best to make our experience comfortable, the least you can do when you ask for your room to be cleaned is minimal cleaning after yourself, your toilet, your trash in the garbage, your clothes, be mindful, it’s not that hard to be a decent person, i’ve been around hotels for 2 months and I’m baffled to see so many selfish and dirty guests… 2) the shared public space is PUBLIC, be mindful of the noise you make, nobody wants to hear what you listen on your phone, bring headphones, it’s THAT simple.

The owners are soooo nice. It feels like you are part of the family

Nothing

​Outstanding experience! The owner is super kind and chill. We genuinely enjoyed our time and appreciated how flexible they were; we were able to prolong our stay effortlessly. The scooter rental process was also smooth and convenient, making it easy to explore the area. We highly recommend this hotel for a stress-free trip!

Everything was perfect! House is very clean, towels and bed are always fresh, bed is comfortable. Pascale&Si are the best hostesses, they gave as all information and best recommendations about all neighbor places! Breakfast is wonderful, fresh and tasty like at home!

Le calme La propreté La gentillesse du personnel

Owners were great! Highly recommend!!!

N/A

My uncle recommended this place since he lives close by. I saw the reviews were spectacular and for good reason. The care and kindness from Pascal and Si and Noisette and Deng are exquisite and extraordinary. I went w mom who struggles with depression and walking. Pascal was very kind and went out of her way to make mom feel comfortable and cared for. At one time she even cleaned the sand in the bathroom and even from mom’s bathing suit. I’m not saying this so that you can expect this! Because please do not trek sand in. There’s a shower outside we later found out. I’m just sharing the moment of compassion that touched our hearts. 💕

Nothing.

The Similan Hotel is really like a guest house. The rooms are great, spacious and clean! l had a queen size bed and a single bed in my room! Closet space, a table to sit at and a safe. The bathroom was spotless, I also had a kettle with various types of coffee. The AC worked great and another large fan to move around the cool air. What I also enjoyed was a comfortable bed, something that at times is hard to find in Thailand. Pascale made me a fabulous breakfast every morning, all kinds of fresh fruits, croissants, a baguette and whatever kind of eggs I would like, scrambled, fried or an omelette. There are numerous really good thai restaurants within a 5-10 walk, Betta and Butterfly to name 2! She got me a scooter to use, much cheaper than the guys in the street! I've been traveling now for almost 2 months and I've stayed in some really good hotels, but this place has been the best! Pascale and Si have created a very comfortable atmosphere, very laid back, where you come and go when you want. There are people who stay for months at a time, because it's so welcoming! They also have 2 loving dogs that made me feel like home! The hotel is located about a 10-20 minute walk to either Surin or Bang Tao Beach and shops and restaurants massage businesses within minutes. I'm already planning to come back next year, thank you Pascale and Si for making my week so enjoyable and comfortable. Pascale helped me find some items that i wanted to bring back to Canada, and the day I left she was nice enough to give me a ride to Kamala! A fabulous place to stay, if you get a chance, stay here, great spot!

Nothing not like!

I felt like home from the beginning. Location is not too far from the beach. (Walking 15-20min). The owners of the place was super friendly. You can order a very good breakfast in the morning if you need it!

Really cosy, extremely nice hosts and fellow guests, despite not being the target demographic 😂.

Nothing, all was good!

A cosy home with à lot of personal care .I arrived alone and was quickly taken in and treated to pickups when stuck in the evening traffic. Breakfast made to order .emergency laundry done .

The location, comfort, cleanliness and the hosts, who were incredibly helpful and kind.

Such a wonderful hidden gem. In a quiet spot, surrounded by a few of the best little restaurants. Rent a scooter from the hotel and you’re a couple minutes away from anything you could want. The host goes above and beyond to make your stay as comfortable as possible, including a delicious coffee every morning. There are two dogs that live on the property and I am in love, such sweet dogs! Rooms are clean and spacious.. can’t go wrong!

Very friendly French owners. Large comfortable well appointed room. Excellent WiFi. Very good breakfast particularly if you like French cheeses. If I return to Phuket I will stay there again.

There was nothing I didn't like.

The owners Pacale and Si could not do enough to help. On xmas eve they put on the most magnificent spread for the guests as one guest had arrived late and there was no where for him to get food. I have never stayed somewhere that was as comfortable as being at home and would only ever stay here again when I come back to phuket. This accommodation made my visit so good I was tearful to leave

I liked everything

the best place to enjoy the peace and atmosphere. impeccable services from breakfast to rooms. hospitality' extraordinary. I would like to come back one day. the super recommend. thanks to soon pascal

I never ever eat breakfast but from what I saw it looked delicious. Pascal always offered me coffee and was so very helpful offering me a lift to pick up my laundry. Could not fault pascal, her partner and their 2 lovely old dogs. Room was spacious and had everything I needed and of there was anything additional I needed pascal always accommodated. The whole place is spotless. It's a 12 minute walk to beach but a gloriously quiet location.

I liked everything

A perfect quiet family hotel with best ever hosts. Pascale and Sebastian are incredibly friendly, helpful and caring people. Breakfasts were amazing: picturesque, tasty and nourishing, Pasquale even bakes her own croissants and baguets. The location is ideal if you don't mind 1.5 km walk to one of the two nearest beaches. There are three small local restaurants nearby and a good massage salon next door. 7-Eleven is an easy 10 minute walk. We definitely recommend this hotel, it was our lucky choice, and it made our holiday. Thank you so much Pascale and Sebastian for your hospitality!

Comfortable bed Kind staff Spacious room

Thin walls, so can hear a lot of talking from the terrace when trying to sleep. Also, a couple really needs to be 'quiet' here for this reason...

Great location, close to several authentic Thai places to eat, close to one of the best beaches in Phuket. The hotel is super clean and cosy and Pascale and her staff make you feel at home. She helped us to fix a bottle of a nice prosecco for our friend's birthday with no time and also helped us to find the best prices on boats and shuttles. Definitely staying there again when we are back to Surin.

W O N D E R F U L EXPERIENCE ! Absolutely love this place . Sparkling clean and tidy ! Very cosy. Fast Wi-Fi .Comfortable bed . Nicely decorated room. Quiet . The best for the light sleepers. Nice atmosphere. Feeling home . Super friendly hosts !!!Friendly ,helpful,caring ,lovely,warm couple! Don’t hesitate to book this place ! 5 stars experience! I’ve spent my Xmas with them and it felts like a family gathering …

I love everything 💯

All was good, ambiance, location at 10-15 minutes from the beach. Good breakfast!

I have done a lot of travelling around Thailand. This by far was the best place that I have stayed. The host was one of the most lovely French ladies I’ve ever met in my life, so accommodating helpful and pleasant I would strongly recommend anybody looking to say in Bang Tower to stay here.

This small hotel is perfect for people looking for a relaxing holiday. It is located in a residential neighborhood, thus far from noisy places or people, and nearby both Surin and Bang Tao beaches. It's also very clean, well maintained, and a very nice breakfast is offered every day. On top of all this, the owners are the sweetest and nicest people one could wish to meet in the holidays, talkative and always willing to help! I recommend Similan Hotel without a doubt!

Nestled in the heart of Phuket, the Similan Hotel offers a charming and intimate retreat for those seeking a peaceful escape from the bustling city life. This small bed and breakfast exude warmth and hospitality from the moment you step through its doors. The staff at Similan Hotel are the true stars of the show. Warm, friendly, and always ready to assist, they go out of their way to make guests feel at home. Whether it's offering personalized recommendations for local attractions or attending to special requests, the level of service here is impeccable. Situated in a quiet neighborhood, Similan Hotel strikes a balance between seclusion and accessibility. It's just a short walk away from local markets, restaurants, and the beach, allowing guests to explore the best of what Phuket has to offer without venturing too far.

The host, Pascale and her husband are very warm, friendly and accommodating people. The hotel is spacious and comfortable. There's a large dining, sitting area at the front of the property where breakfast is served. It also offers space to relax outside of your room. The room itself was big and comfortable and had everything we needed. The air conditioner and a fan were very helpful to cool the room. We had a decent bathroom with a good shower. We didn't book breakfast, but Pascale offered it to us anyway and it was always very delicious. What was on offer varied, which kept it interesting, some days it was exotic fruits, toast, jam and croissants, and she would ask is we would like pancakes or omelettes too, everything was great. My partner and I love dogs, and so the addition of some neighbourhood dogs coming to visit, for us, was a bonus and a pleasure. Pascale was able to rent us one of her own mopeds, which was extremely convenient as we didn't have to travel anywhere or pay high prices, we paid a fair price and could have rented for multiple days if we needed.

There wasn't anything we didn't like, everything was really great.

Pascal was a very gracious host and made our stay there all the more lovely. The bedroom and toilet were super clean and equipped with all the necessary facilities. Location was great (we had a car) and a short drive to the beach, shops, and there were many cafes/resraurants within walking distance as well.

Nothing.

Quiet location good road great hosts

Very tidy and clean !

very peaceful location, staff very friendly and helpful:)

The bed was great, very big and a very hard mattress (which isn't for everyone!). Lots of space and storage. The lounge is a great space for a bit of morning yoga if you're into that.. Didn't use the AC so can't comment on that.

Location wasn't great for me as I didn't want to drive/ride a scooter, but it was fine for a few days. 15-20 min walk to either beach. The room can get very noisy at night as facing the road, and there is a mosque nearby so you'll get the 5 am start.

Nice welcoming. Is small family hotel. We felt like in our friends house. Room big, clean. In neibourhood couple of local restorants. 15 min walk from the Surin Beach. Quite place ouside from main street and big hotels. Totally local place.

Nothing

Very comfortable stay. Great hotel. The breakfast is super worth it. Friendly host. I can recommend this place. Also try out the restaurant Pooh and friends nearby.

Location - it's a bit far from everything, so make sure you have a plan for mobility. It's not fully quiet at night, there is a mosque closeby and you can hear a motorcycle passing by on the street. Fortunately, there are not that many as this is a side street. Also, it would have been great if the host enforced the smoking ban on the hotel terrace. But overall, it's definitely worth staying here.

Cleanest hotel I've been in thaillande , and the owner she's lovely and always here to help you with anything

Nothing

Loved how clean the whole place was, pascal made sure the place was spotless everyday. Pascal was super helpful and dropped us off in the local village area, where we could rent motorbikes and picked us up. Have made it very homely and the room was very spacious. The road in the day is super quiet.

There is a club not too far away that plays awful music with a big bass which drones in the background. It’s not the worst if you are a heavy sleeper/have ear plugs.

I had to move from other hotel to Similan hotel and could not get a taxi, Pascal was so kind to pick me up for free. Similan hotel is well maintained, looks freshly painted, perfectly clean, cozy, located close to several places for eating out. Pascal, the hotel manager, is devoted to make her guests enjoy their stay and is very kind and helpful whenever I needed something, like: she ironed my silk dress for free, when I requested to give me the iron, refusing to take money, recommended Butterfly cafe nearby which has cooks tasty Thai food at reasonable prices, showed the way to the beach, recommended the Supermarket with good choice of food I needed, provided the beach towel and umbrella for free use. A separate gratitude for the breakfast she offers: freshly morning baked croissants with yummy mango jam, big plate of assorted fruits, a choice of fried eggs or omelette or hot sandwiches or panckes which your may agree with her to prepare for you in advance. Though breakfast is not included in the room charge, but it is so tasty (that I tend to eat more than you need to) and substantial that I could survive not being hungry till dinner time - so absolutely worth the price you pay. I felt safe and comfortable staying at this hotel and would stay here again. I am a sound sleeper, so was ok with cocks crying or other noises coming from outside. Good value for the money.

Nothing.

The most pleasant stay I have ever had in my life! :) The room was really very clean and nice. Wi-Fi was also great. Hostes Pascal was so responsive and helpful! She have cooked delicious croissants on breakfasts and prepearing coffee for us every morning ☺️. She gave us a lot of useful advises and more. I strongly recommend this apartment to spend a holiday on Phuket :)

Very clean, good location and hosts are very friendly. Delicious breakfasts.

None

Very friendly and helpful owners. The facilities were super clean and modern.

very clean and tidy accommodation. staff super friendly went above and beyond to make sure we had a comfortable stay.

- Local cozy place - Friendly staff - Extremely clean and organised

No issues

Simply awesome!!! Such a nice host. They opened even earlier for us and made our stay as comfortable as heaven. The host couple even made us breakfast when we had to leave earlier. Always helpful, nice and lovely. Not to mention they even lend us their own private bycicles to take a look around! Highly recommend!!!

Absolutly nothing!

The owners are friendly and always helpfull.thay made breakfast for us every day. Room is clean,hot water in bathroom,air condition and fan.not noisy area.just 10 min walk to the beach,best restaurant around.you can rent scooter.would definitely come back.

Wonderful holiday with my friends. Very nice and helpful owner and large rooms, very clean and good equipped, the AC worked well. Very good breakfast and great restaurant nearby. Possibility to rent the motorbike. Zdenek

Great couple with whom we are friends now! The cafetería was closed already but Pascale the owner and her husband made an effort to present to us the best breakfast ever! They gave us tips and the best way to visit Pang Ga. We ended up going out with them and asking Pascale to drive us back to the airport. She knows where to eat the best Paid Thai and the best real Masseuses ( not like in the beach where they may cause you pain in the neck !). Will come back definitively and miss them

I do try and be fair with reviews but I have to give this bed and breakfast two stars (and thats being generous) . Myself and my girlfriend were made to fee very unwelcome from the start and the French owner is often quite rude. This owner should not be in the hospitality business, and we felt like we were quite an inconvenience to her and her husband I appreciated the air con should be turned off when leaving the hotel but whenever we stepped out of the bedroom for a few minutes and she went in unannounced like a ninja and turned off the air con. The air con didn't work properly anyway. Good size room but very basic and old. Worst of all was that bed and pillows were rock hard and didn't sleep well at all. The lady that owns the hotel is quite a smoker and the b&b does smell as do the musty rooms. The breakfast was small and not very nice plus it is expensive for what you get. The hotel is 30 min walk to the beach and you do need a scooter to explore the area which is great and would highly recommend visiting Bangtao beach and all the beach clubs. The B&B is expensive for what you get and for only a bit more you can have a choice of hotels nearby with pools, a no doubt a much more welcoming host.

Excellent guesthouse. Very large rooms, very clean and well equipped, the AC worked very well. The owners are very friendly and have excellent advice and recommendations. They make you feel like friends or a family member, even my 14 months old baby girl enjoyed their company. Not too far from the beach and the village (for restaurants, bars, massage, tuk tuk, taxis, shopping, etc) we usually like to walk during the holidays. Excellent Breakfast. We've booked 2 nights then we decided to extend. Thank you so much to Pascale and SY for your welcome. We recommend this place and will definitely go again.

Firstly the property is not as advertised. It is listed as being a 8 minute walk from the beach. This is not true. Apparently there used to be a cut through, but the land has now been bought by a developer and the cut through closed off. It's now at least 30 minutes walk to the beach, and that's not even to the main beach, it's to a small patch of sand where the tail boats launch from. The main beach, along with the main resort is another 15 minutes further away. So despite being advertised as 8 minutes walk from the beach it is more like 45 minutes from the actual resort beach. In addition the wifi in the 2 upstairs rooms does not work. The owner is aware of this and told us as much when we checked in, despite the rooms being advertised as including wifi. And as per previous reviews when you try to shower it pops the breaker and all the power goes off! Despite the property being misrepresented when we asked to check out early we were told we would have to pay for the full week. After some negotiation the owner did eventually agree to us paying one extra night to check out early. However after taking our money she then informed the booking agent that we had not checked in in an attempt to secure a "no-show" charge from them. Fortunately we were able to prove otherwise. Her actions were not a surprise to us as her attitude stunk from the moment of our arrival. At around 11:30 one evening after telling us we could pay at check-out she banged on our door demanding our passports back??? we refused as when we gave them to her at check-in we found them left on a table near the kitchen the next morning where anyone could have picked them up, and instead offered to pay the final bill. In fairness to her I'm pretty sure she was intoxicated on this occasion, which is probably why she forgot she had given us a receipt for the payment, which she later denied receiving.

Stayed here for a week and really liked it. Large rooms with good AC, good location on a small street with two restaurants. Near the beach. Very quiet. Couldn't shower when the aircon was on though, the power went out. Also we didn't get new handwash when finished, so we had to buy it ourselfes. Didn't get new toiletpaper when it was out sometimes either. Otherwise, nothing to complain about!

Want to stay with friends in Phuket? Look no further than Similian Guesthouse in Surin. We were treated like old friends, owner Pascal & 'C' run a relaxed, super clean, low-key guesthouse 5 mins walk from 3 of the best beaches in Phuket. Funky, cool, family friendly, local restaurants, Frenchy breakfast on request - for a village life experience in Thailand I can't rave enough about this place 10/10!

Stayed in the Similan Hotel for 3 nights only at the end of the high season. A perfect location to relax and very friendly owner taking care of you as if you are a member of the family. The rooms are pretty spacious and simple and for the price you have no reason to complain. The food they cook is world class too.

I chose to stay at Similan Hotel because of the good reviews from other guests - and I was not disappointed. The owner Pascale will go out of her way to make you feel comfortable and is more than helpful with any request you may have. The location is perfect - close to the beach and shops/restaurants, yet tugged away in a quiet area. At first the area may not impress, but once there you will see how perfect it is. The room was spacious and spotless, breakfast good and the outdoor terrace a plus.

The room was large and clean and tastefully decorated. Suddenly shared kitchen was private, no one was ever around, air con and 2 fans could only reduce temperature of room to 29c with humidity. Proprietor complained about other guests and myself in my hearing, believing I would not understand as I do not speak French. It is no longer owned by Maryanne and Jessie.

We are a family of four that love travelling the world. We have taken our 4 year old and now our 1 year old kidz along with us to many destinations in more than15 countries in Asia, Europe, Latin and North America staying most of the time in 5 star hotels and resorts. This time we decided to stay in a guest house instead. We chose Similan through a recommendation from a friend and have not regretted fora single moment. At the Similan guest house we have experienced the best service ever. It really feels like a home away from home. The owners Maryanne and Jessie are the most friendly and welcoming people. They go far and beyond fulfilling all our needs and requests which are not the easiest as we are travelling with small kids. Here at the Similan you will feel At home and a part of their family. We highly recommend anyone travelling to Bangtao to stay here. The rooms are of good size with both fan and A/C and clean. The terrace is like a living room where breakfast is served and one can just relax and use the free WiFi. Both Surin and Bangtao beach are located walking distance and there is plenty of good and affordable Thai restaurants nearby. The easiest and cheapest way to get around like the locals is to rent a scooter for just 200 thb / 5€ per day. Thank you Maryanne and Jessie for making us enjoy our holidays!

I satyed at The Similan guest house for two weeks whilst looking for long term accommodation in the area. Wha't a great place so clean spacious room and above all the two terraces, one upstairs where I could quietly read or do y emails, and the bar restaurant terrace downstairs. Marrianne and Jacinte the french owners would ben over backwar'ds to accomodate any request, great breakfast and a daily short menu of fresh food. The bar was a mixture of locals and guests, super atmosphere and an ideal place for a drink after work. I have now found a permanent house though have become a regular in the bar and restaurant. Other local bars and restaurants are 5-10 minute walk away and Bangtao beach only 5 minutes, in my opinion one of the best beaches on 'Phuket. Surin again is only a 10 minute wal away. So much better than staying in a branded hotel real character and genuines service. I have recommended this guesthouse to all my friends who come to visit need I say more!

Situated between Surin Beach and Bang Tao Beach is Hidden Gem called Similan Hotel. This place has a very unique vibe. It's very easy to feel right home once you arrive on the terrace of Similan Hotel. There is certainly a strong mixture of culture, comfort and diversity if you compare it to many other hotels/guesthouses in Thailand. I would have to say that perhaps with being foreigners themselves; the owner tries her very best to make the place feel like home. The staff and management are excellent; they go above and beyond expectations to make sure that your stay is as comfortable as possible. They have a small daily menu that varies day to day. Breakfast is served to your liking, fresh coffee/espresso made right in front of you. The bar selection is basic but carries all the 'staple' liquors and spirits that any bar must have to be called a bar... The rooms are spacious, clean, air-conditioned and fan, Television as well, ensuite... I'll have to admit that I spent a good amount of time in my bed at Similan because everything was so relaxing..also the beach was very close by so there was no hassle in rushing out for a long walk.. There are also numerous restaurants and other amenities within close proximity to Similan Hotel whether it be a short walk or a scooter ride. I will definitely be returning to Similan Hotel like most of the other guests I met during my stay there. Each guest had there own reasons for returning time after time and I will have to say I now have mine..

we stayed with my wife and parents in law at the similan hotel in january this year. The hotel is well located near the more quiet bangtao beach and the rooms are very clean. The french owner, Daniel, is a truly remarkable host, he really cares about the well being of his guests and makes you feel at home. I felt like I was staying at my grand ma's place. The breakfast he cooked for us was always different and based on what we told him we liked the day before. I told him I liked muesli and he bothered preparing a really tasty swiss muesli with fresh fruits that had to marinate the whole night in the fridge before being eaten. He was also full of good recommendations on where to go on the island. Staying here made me remember what guest house really means.
