Meroom

Meroom Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Meroom feels refreshingly different from the typical tourist hotels scattered around Phuket Town. This three-star property sits right on Tilok-utit Road, and honestly, the location surprised me — you’re actually in the heart of the old town rather than stuck in some generic hotel district. The lobby’s compact but thoughtfully designed, with clean lines and just enough local touches to remind you where you are without going overboard on the Thai theme.

Location & Neighborhood

Here’s what I love about staying here — you can walk to the Sunday Walking Street market in about three minutes, and those gorgeous Sino-Portuguese shophouses are literally around the corner. The morning coffee shops that locals actually frequent? They’re right there. I mean, you know how some hotels claim to be “centrally located” but you still need a taxi for everything? Not here. The old town’s colorful buildings, authentic street food, and that famous Thalang Road are all within easy walking distance. The neighborhood truly captures the essence of traditional Phuket.

The Room Experience

My room was smaller than what you’d get at a resort, but it worked perfectly for exploring the city. The air conditioning actually keeps up with Phuket’s humidity — which isn’t always a given at this price point. What struck me was how clean everything felt, and the bed was surprisingly comfortable. The bathroom’s compact but functional, with decent water pressure. You’re not getting a balcony with ocean views here, but the windows face the street, so you get a real sense of the neighborhood’s rhythm and daily life.

Practical Considerations

The staff speaks solid English and genuinely seems to know the area well — they pointed me toward a local restaurant that I never would’ve found otherwise. There’s no fancy spa or pool, but honestly, you’re staying here to explore Phuket Town, not lounge around the hotel. Parking can be a bit tight if you’re renting a car, though the location means you probably won’t need one much. The WiFi works reliably, which matters if you’re trying to navigate or stay connected. The overall value proposition is excellent for the area.

Why Guests Love It

What really sets Meroom apart is how it puts you right in the middle of authentic Phuket Town life without the tourist markup. Couples seem particularly drawn to the intimate scale and walkable location — it’s easy to see why the rating reflects that appeal. You’re paying for location and cleanliness rather than amenities, and if that trade-off works for you, this place delivers. The fact that recent guests consistently praise the location tells you everything — when you can stumble back from dinner at those incredible local spots in two minutes, you start to understand what makes a good base in Phuket Town. This hotel truly represents authentic local hospitality.
