Hot water did not work for my entire stay, there was no water at all on the second day of my stay, came to the room just drenched in sweat and sunscreen lotion and i couldn't shower and freshen up for my dinner out so i had to go out like that. The lock on the door didn't feel secure, there was no dead bolt. I wouldn't go back.

Room basic but clean ... but no issues given the price. Shower pressure not good. Pool was green and no way would I use it ... needed emptying,cleaning and guessing pumps needed some work. Despite menus beibmng out no foid availabe...not the end of the world. Overall for what I paid, am generally ok but was disappointed about the pool...

A satisfactory stay. Very friendly & helpful services and fine location. However, the room was way too old, especially the bathroom where the shower can’t work properly.

Located a short walk to the main beach and town, didn’t use the pool. Bed was comfortable and shower hot and powerful. Some areas of the room looked dated but overall a good stay for the price.

It was an ok place to stay. The staff were super nice and friendly everyday we saw them and helpful. It was generally clean but not thoroughly clean. There were signs of that. The 2 rooms we stayed in were in need of repair. It came across as Maintenance is not a priority. Some cupboards were either broken or really old and needed to be replaced. Some hinges also needed to be replaced.

Good value, wrong location.
Good size room with very comfortable bed and large separate bathroom. Large balcony with cooking facilities but no plates or cutlery provided. Very friendly staff - quickest check in I have ever had. Many English channels on the tv and good wifi in the room. The roof top pool is quite small and does not have much shelter from the sun. Hot water in the shower tended to come and go a bit. The only real problem was that the hotel is NOT where shown on the map on all the web sites. It is several hundred metres further down the road. It is at least a 10 -15 minute walk to the beach along a very busy road with few footpaths. I hired a motor scooter!! Overall a good hotel . It seems a pity that they try and deceive people by showing the wrong location. I would not have booked it if I had known the true location!!

Lovely Stay, Wonderful Hotel
This is a lovely place at a great price. A comfy 8-minute walk to the beach means I was close enough not to break a sweat but far enough from the busy-ness of the Kata Beach core. There's a great, cheap laundry service right across the street, and a beautiful mountain view from the rooms. A wonderful place. The only downside is that their restaurant isn't the best quality, and I am 80% sure I got food poisoning from eating there. It could have been from somewhere else though.

Lovely staff but hotel is in poor condition
We booked the hotel thinking that it is near the beach but it in fact a 10-15 minute uphill/downhill walk with no proper pavements. The staff are friendly and helpful but the hotel is let down by the poor condition of the room. The room/bedsheets had a smell (maybe from mothballs?). The bed was uncomfortable and had a hole in the centre of the bed. You can even feel the bed springs poking into your back. We were informed that there will be a power cut at 9am the next day but were not told of a water cut. We were due to check out that day and i needed a shower in the morning because our flight back was at 10pm. We have to buy gallons of mineral water so that we can take a shower. Nothing that they can do about this, unfortunately, but we were told about the water, we would have woken up much earlier in the morning to have a shower.

Best beds on the planet - relaxed staff
The staff at Kata Studios are laid back and there are no sales pitches for anything (which is a refreshing change in Thailand). The queen bed in my studio was the most comfortable hotel bed I have ever stayed in - both firm yet soft. The balcony kitchen is great if you want to prepare your own food but after sampling the food at the restaurant attached to the Hotel I didn't bother. The Capricorn restaurant was fantastic, fresh, and cheap as chips. The rooftop pool and spa is awesome and if you prefer the beach then it is a ten minute stroll down the hill. I hired a moped from a place a few doors up and was at the beach in 30 seconds. The stay was very relaxing and I wouldn't hesitate to come back here again. Thankyou !

great self-catering place only 15 mins from beach
This place was a bargain as it is a 15 minute walk from the beach. It's great for backpackers as you get some privacy with a self-catering outdoor kitchenette (two hot plates and a fry pan, microwave, fridge). There are many convenience stores nearby so you can fry up your own breakfast easily. The room was very clean and made every day if needed. There is also a nice swimming pool on the top level, perfect for lazy mornings.

Great Budget Hotel
Very reasonably priced hotel. Very good service. Laundry is reasonably priced. Room was beautiful. Only stayed three nights but could have stayed there longer. Only about a 10-15 minute walk to the beach/main restaurant/shop area. Always left us bottled water in the minifridge. Internet was good and free. There were a few mosquitos that got into the room but they were never really a bother. Was suprised by how nice the room was, knowing what we paid. Due to our flight, we arrived at 2 am and they had our room ready and brought our bags up quickly so we could get to bed. Breakfast was good. My wife and I fully recommend this hotel for travelers on a budget.

B целом отель не плохой, комнаты просторные, есть лоджия с кухней. Но все очень изношенное. Два раза переселяли в другие номера, то кондиционер не работает, то канализация. Всю ночь какой то грохот за окном, так и не выясниои от чего.... Обслуживающий персонал (уборщицы) не клали туалетную бумагу. На рецепшене относились доброжелательно, но решение проблемы заканчивалось очередным переселением в другой номер. От моря быстрым шагом минут 10-15.

Holder ikke god nok standard
Hotellet bærer preg av alder. Vi var der to netter. Sengen er hard og putene så høy at nakken er vond før du sovner. Rundt mikroen krydde det av pitte små fluer. Det var støv på alle overflater så det bar preg av generelt dårlig renhold. Frokosten var også av det kjipe slaget, man er ikke mett etterpå. Ville ikke anbefalt dette hotellet videre.

Virkelig verdi for pengene, god service også!
Hadde et flott opphold her på Kata Beach Studio. Vi bestilte først to netter, og var veldig fornøyde med service og verdien for pengene. Bassenget er rent, og hotellet er grei størrelse. Litt harde senger men jeg har skjønt at det er normen i Thailand. Ikke noe utsikt til stranden, men er du heldig får du se litt av The Great Buddha. Etter to netter dro vi til et annet hotell i Patong, men valgte neste dag å sjekke ut tidlig og heller komme tilbake til Kata og Kata Beach Studio. Området er roligere, og det er ti minutter å gå til stranda. Mye god mat rett i nærheten, og restauranten på hotellet er helt ok. Må virkelig berømme servicen her! Så hjelpsomme og smilende! De hjelper med booking og anbefalinger, og alt annet man trenger.

Не очень близко к морю
В целом отель не плохой. В номере кроме стандартного набора принадлежностей есть микроволновая печь и на балконе поставлена электроплитка и раковина. Небольшой бассейн на 5 этаже (на крыше), открыт с 8 утра до 8.30 вечера. Хотелось бы чтоб бассейн работал больше часов, особенно вечером. Прямо у отеля есть магазин FamilyMart, пиццерия, кафе Chai Thai Food. Главный недостаток - от основной улицы Kata Road до отеля идти 500 метров по неудобной дороге ( узкие обочины и в горку), от пляжа Ката - 700 метров.
