Courtyard by Marriott Phuket Town

Courtyard by Marriott Phuket Town Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Courtyard by Marriott Phuket Town, you immediately sense this isn’t your typical beach resort — and honestly, that’s exactly what makes it special. The lobby has that polished Marriott feel, but there’s something refreshingly authentic about being right in the heart of Phuket Town rather than tucked away in some tourist bubble. This four-star property sits on Soi Surin in the Talat Yai district, which locals will tell you is one of the most vibrant parts of the old town. You’re actually staying where real Phuket life happens.

Location & Local Life

Here’s what I love about this spot — you can walk to the colorful Sino-Portuguese shophouses in about five minutes, and the weekend night market is practically on your doorstep. The hotel earned a 9.0 location score, and after spending time here, I get why couples especially rave about it (they gave it a 9.2 rating). You’re close enough to hear the morning calls from the local temples, smell the street food cooking, and actually experience Phuket beyond the resort scene. The beaches are a quick tuk-tuk ride away, but honestly, you might find yourself more fascinated by the old town’s charm.

The Room Experience

My room had that signature Marriott consistency — clean lines, comfortable bed, and everything actually worked properly. The air conditioning is powerful (trust me, you’ll need it), and the bathroom feels modern without being sterile. What surprised me was how quiet it stayed despite being in the middle of town — the soundproofing is better than you’d expect. The views aren’t spectacular, but you’re not really here for resort vistas anyway.

Breakfast & Dining

The breakfast buffet genuinely impressed me with its variety — they’ve got everything from full English spreads to proper Asian options, plus vegetarian and gluten-free choices that don’t feel like afterthoughts. The restaurant area gets busy around 8 AM when tour groups roll through, so I’d suggest eating earlier if you prefer a quieter start. What’s nice is that you can grab a quick bite and then head out to explore those incredible local coffee shops and street food stalls just minutes away.

Why Guests Love It

The free parking is actually a bigger deal than it sounds — finding a spot in Phuket Town can be a nightmare, especially during festival season. But what really sets this place apart is how it bridges that gap between international hotel standards and authentic local access. You get reliable Wi-Fi, proper service, and all the Marriott reliability, but you’re also perfectly positioned to dive into real Phuket culture. I mean, where else can you have a solid hotel breakfast and then walk to a 200-year-old Chinese temple before lunch? The 8.8 overall rating reflects exactly what you get here — a smart choice for travelers who want comfort without sacrificing authentic experience.

• Ratima from United States (9/10)

  Great location as it’s just in the middle of Phuket town! Lots to shop and eat within walking distance. We got an upgrade to a bigger room (family room) and it was spacious, clean, and well decorated. Bed, pillows, and blanket are very comfortable. Nice big window. Big bathroom as well. Breakfast selection was AWESOME! There’s a designated coffee bar with a barista! Great value for the money. Will be staying there again.

• Janni from Denmark (9/10)

  Everything. Good service, good facilities and food.

• Tomás from Portugal (9/10)

  The breakfast and the location right in the center of Phuket Old Town. Great to walk around at night, and near street food. The hotel is modern and the breakfast was the best I've ever experienced, since the drinks station was something extraordinary.
