Marina House MUAYTHAI Ta-iad Phuket

Decent Stay, but Lacking in Consistency

I’ve been coming to Soi since 2017 and have stayed at several hotels, including the original Blue Hotel and Anchan, which has always been my go-to. Since Anchan was sold out, I decided to try Marina House Muay Thai.

The hotel has a cool, industrial-artistic vibe—almost like a stylish jail—with shared spaces for working, eating, and working out. Since I’m here primarily to train and relax, I don’t mind if a place isn’t overly fancy.

When I checked into my room, it was generally put together but not properly cleaned—the floor hadn’t been mopped, and there was a stain on my blanket. After mentioning it to the front desk, they immediately apologized and had everything cleaned thoroughly, which I appreciated.

The AC units are quite loud, but I found a workaround by using the one in the main area and keeping my door open. However, the real issue was with the cleaning staff—they were inconsistent. Some days they did a fantastic job, while other days it felt like they barely cleaned at all, even when I tipped them.

Another frustration was my leaking toilet, which happened twice. Despite politely asking for it to be fixed, it remained an issue.

Overall, the hotel isn’t bad, but it’s showing signs of neglect. Unlike long-standing hotels like Anchan, where the quality of care is evident, Marina House seems to be struggling with maintenance and staffing. Management really needs to get the cleaning staff on the same page or hire more people to keep up with demand.

I wouldn’t say it’s a terrible place to stay, but given the inconsistency, I’ll be looking elsewhere next time.
