Hawa House Phuket

Hawa House Phuket Overview

You know what caught me off guard about Hawa House Phuket? It’s one of those places that completely defies its three-star rating – I mean, with a 9.1 guest score, there’s clearly something special happening here that the official star system just doesn’t capture. I stumbled across this gem during my third trip to Phuket, and honestly, I wish I’d found it sooner.

The thing about Hawa House is that it feels authentically Thai in a way that’s getting harder to find on the island these days. The staff actually remembers your name after day one (not just pretending to check their notes), and there’s this genuine warmth that makes you feel like you’re staying with family rather than just another tourist passing through. The rooms are clean and thoughtfully designed – nothing fancy, but everything works properly, which is more than I can say for some supposedly higher-end places I’ve stayed at around here. The air conditioning is blessedly quiet, and the beds are actually comfortable, not those rock-hard mattresses you sometimes get stuck with in this price range.

What really won me over, though, was the location and the little details. It’s positioned in one of those sweet spots where you’re close enough to the action but far enough away that you’re not dealing with the constant buzz of scooters and late-night party crowds. The breakfast spread is simple but fresh – proper Thai coffee that doesn’t taste like instant, and they make a mean pad thai if you ask nicely. The pool area becomes this peaceful little oasis in the late afternoon when the day-trippers have cleared out, and I spent more evenings there with a beer than I care to admit. The Wi-Fi actually works throughout the property (trust me, test this everywhere in Phuket), and there’s something refreshingly honest about the whole operation. They’re not trying to be something they’re not – no fake marble or gaudy chandeliers – just solid hospitality done right. For travelers who want authentic Thai charm without the backpacker chaos or the sterile luxury resort experience, Hawa House hits that perfect middle ground that’s becoming increasingly rare around here.

  Super central location, right in the old town, close to all the bars, restaurants and markets. Clean and tidy apartment, perfect for couples. Our official checkout was at 11:00, but the host let us to do it later since we had our ferry in the afternoon.
