All aboard the bus!
We stayed in one of their ‘budget buses’ and you get what you pay for! Small and cosy, but close to the pool & breakfast. Feels a bit like a caravan, but did the job. Breakfast was good - good selection. Location is a bit far to the beach - around 30 min walk.

Perfect!
We had an amazing stay at Manohra. Because it is low season there are not many tourists and that is perfect. It felt like we have the hotel only to ourselves 😁 It is quiet and tranquil. Even though it is a 20 min walk from Karon beach, we love the location. There is a free shuttle that goes from the hotel to the beach every day at 10am. Close to a really cheap supermarket, 7 eleven, Night Market (Tuesday&Friday). There’s also a good restaurant next to the hotel with very good prices. It is clean and the staff is so lovely and friendly. We already want to go back there, so yes, we recommend it 100%. We don’t know think there is anything else there as great, especially for this price.

Staff were very friendly,informative and went out their way to make our stay enjoyable and they succeded ! Rooms were extremely clean and comfortable and air conditioning was perfect. Good location ,10 minutes walk to Karon Temple markets and shops though plenty eateries along the way. Street footpaths where they exist are very rough so watch your step and passing traffic.

Cheap hotel , reasonable distance from the beach
I have used the Manohra on several occasions , this year was not exceptional . When I arrived , carryingy case up 2 flights of stairs I was given my room key and had to go find my room myself j, going back down the 2 flight's of stairs . A little disappointed with my room this year , dirty bed sheets when I arrived and dirty towels , these were rectified quickly though . Will almost certainly stay there again , but I would the customer service was up to their usual standard

The hotel can do so much better !
The hotel is located on the quieter side of Karon beach on the main road , may take little over 15 min walk to the beach. The hotel proved to be a big turn off especially with its FIRST IMPRESSION ! as soon as we enter the property the first thing you would see is a huge room filled with all broken furniture and discarded items ! the hotel is dated and is crying for refurbishment ! outdated tiny TV with poor connection, hard mattress and poor wifi connection does not help in anyway. hotel is struck in the 80's ! Reception is not trained well enough to provide a warm welcome - but if you make the effort and talk to them can find them to be helpful Pros are the good sized rooms , very reasonably priced and CLEAN and LARGE rooms This is a hotel that has very huge potential but has a completely neglected feel .

Great hotel at a bargain price
We had a great stay at the Manohra. The staff, in particular the night time receptionist, were all lovely and friendly. Our room was large, very clean and had everything we could want at the price. The view was out over the treetops and we had the pleasure of watching birds and lizards in the trees. The pool had a great view ... one way was over the rooftops towards the sea, the other was to a hill covered in jungle. Yes there was some building work nest door, but this was all being done by hand when we were there so there was no disturbance. We didn't eat there so cannot comment on the food offering. To make the most of the area you need to hire a moped. Thai law has recently changed and you now need to have your driving licence with you to hire a bike.

The hotel is pretty far from the beach in Karon. The room is spacious with large nice bathroom. Only furniture was a bit old, but generally we were very satisfied with the room. The reception staff wasn't very helpful. Everytime I asked about something they would rather upsell their transfers, tours etc then actually respond to my question. It was very annoying. The hotel was deffinetely worth it's price but i wouldn't stay there longer than 2 nights.

beware of bedbugs
My holiday turned into a nightmare. I'm bitten by bedbugs after staying one night and had to move to other room. Little small bugs and white eggs found on the head of bed. It really made me crazy. I itchy all over and the bites were buring to death. I had to go to pharmacy and took last the entire stay.

Quiet hotel at the base of the mountains.
Second visit here. If travelling on a budget and just want to relax, Manohra Cozy Resort is the place. Will need to hire transportation to move around unless you really like walking in hot sun.

Nice quiet hotel, beautiful scenery close to beach
Loved our stay at the hotel for our honeymoon. The scenery is beautiful as it is next to a mountain lots of butterflies flying around! The beach is about a 20 minute walk although the hotel have a bus that will take you there at 10am every morning. Quiet area of phuket so if you are looking for a relaxing stay then this is the place. we had the pool to ourselves the majority of our time here! The room was nice but could of been a bit cleaner although for the price we didn't mind too much. the staff are friendly and helpful. Would visit again!

Your pick for a couple of days rest
If you're looking for a couple of quiet days relaxing and sunbathing at the pool/beach, for a very good price/quality this hotel is where you want to be. You'll find everything you need (beach/restaurant etc) within 15/20 min of walking distance either to the left or the right. Despite the temperature these are easy walks and not "hard walks goinf up the hill" as I read in previous comments. Current price to Patong currently is 400 bath (one way) and to the airport 850 bath (one way)

Clean and Cool
I had a wonderful experience with Manohra Cozy Resort. This is an outstanding choice for travelers who are looking for an affordable but clean/quiet/cool launching point for all that Phuket has to offer. It's about half-way between Patong and Kata Beach. I was looking for a hotel that would accommodate daily excursions to SCUBA and sight-seeing locations. I couldn't be happier with my choice. And the breakfasts were outstanding.

Mediocre Manohra
The rooms were a good size with huge bathrooms and some nice extras (hairdryer, water boiler, large fridge). However the water from the boiler is warm rather than hot and no milk powder is supplied. Some of the staff were very helpful whereas others showed little interest in enhancing the overall experience. Breakfast is available but you must opt for one of their set menus and other food is limited if, in fact, it is offered at all. All in all it's mediocre but if you like a nice pool, don't mind a 10-15 min walk down an unpaved road for food and you value peace and quiet then this might be the place for you

Excellent staff at small "boutique" hotel
Hotel and staff were wonderful especially Inthira on the front desk, a bit of a walk to the the beach though there is a free shuttle at 10.00am each day, we found it enjoyable strolling down the hill each day.The pool was large and kept very clean.It was very quiet, just what we needed to unwind, room was large and the refrigerator kept our drinks icy cold - just what you need after a long hot day out. Problem with the aircon in my friends room was quickly resolved. Breakfast choices were limited but adequate each morning. Would recommend this hotel if you are after a smaller "boutique" hotel in a quite location.

Large room, almost luxurious with computer, LCDTV, large refrigerator, large bathroom, free beach shuttle, staff speaks english, good breakfast, motobike rental for 250 baht a day, great pool. Overall awesome for the price. The only unpleasant thing is the high frequency of old western men with young thai girls, but if your into that thing you'll find a couple's retreat.

Terrible Management. Staff was helpful though.
The hotel did not have any working Wifi for days. They had a problem with the water flow so we were out of water for a whole day. Having an infant with us, it's not easy to manage without water supply. I asked to be able to check out, but the deal we got was to pack up our things and leave the room within 5min and without refund for that day. So even though I'm paying for the room that day, I was not allowed to stay there over night and check out in the morning. Evening time, we had to pack up all our stuff and check out immediately, find a new hotel and pay that hotel for the same day as well. Again, doing this with a baby is a mess. The working staff was nice, but the management was just crazy. Did not consider our situation at all and we had to pay for checking out when they were the ones that had the whole hotel without water supply. Besides the terrible experience we had, I can not say it's a hotel suited for families. Nothing of interest close by and no families staying there. More suited for friends or couples perhaps.

Far from the beach, not for family but lovely staf
We chose this hotel because of excellent reviews. However, we didn't realise how far away this hotel is from the beach and the centre of Karon Beach since you need to walk 15 min or take a taxi. With our 2 year old that was quite inconvenient so wouldn't recommend this for families with small children. Our room was nice and spacious and staff was really friendly and loved kids. Restaurant didn't serve any Thai food which was a minus but breakfast was ok and hotel offers good value for money.

Very nice hotel friendly staff
We really enjoyed our stay here. The hotel is very nice inside and out. The room was very nicely decorated and was very big. Bed was comfy and aircon was great. Bathroom was massive and we actually had a bath in it...rare for Thailand! Nice pool in the place too with loads of sun loungers. Hotel staff were really friendly and helpful. The only downside I can mention is It is a 20 minute walk into Karon centre from the hotel and 30 minutes walk to Karon beach which is not that bad but i feel like i should mention it, especially if people have kids or are not that mobile. We hired a scooter from the hotel at a good price and was really easy to get in and out of Karon and Patong. I would recommend you to do the same as all you need to hire is to pass over your passport as deposit. The roads are ok and just go slow and you will be fine. Patong area is close by, about 20 minute drive, it is lively and has good markets and loads of bars and restaurants, you can take a taxi but trips can mount up in cost as the taxi men like to make up prices to tourists, so be prepared to negotiate. On the whole a great little hotel on a budget, perfect for couples.

Nice hotel close to Karon Village
This was our first ever visit to Thailand and we were overwhelmingly impressed. Upon arrival we were notified that we had been upgraded to a superior and that breakfast was included - awesome way to start a vacation. The staff were not intrusive but were quick to help in any way that they could - especially for recommendations for planning outings. Our whole experience was totally positive and I would definitely stay here again if, and when, I go back to Phuket.

First stay at Karon, Phuket
Lovely resort on the outskirts of Karon, in a quiet location and a great outlook. Our room was very spacious, clean and modern. We had a private balcony overlooking a natural hilly jungle. The main part of Karon is not close by so transport is needed to get anywhere, but this is offset by the quiet location. The pool area looked so inviting and relaxing. The resort is in a hilly location with steps to get to the rooms.

It was a such a nice experience and the staff were amazing, they helped us in every way they can in order to make our stay more comfortable. They helped us in getting best deals for the tours. Breakfast was ok, but could have been better if it contained halal food like chicken ham and chicken sausages instead of pork. But overall it was a great stay at this hotel and I would definetly stay there if I ever go to Phuket again 😀.

Modest hotel with great price
Ref. very cheap price 120€/week, one should not expect too much. Hotel was ok, and there is everything you need, but the style and spirit cannot be compared with nice thai hotels. With better management it could be easily upgrated, now (basicly nice) pool area is just a boring pool area with three shades for chairs and big hot terrace. And there is basicly ok breakfast, but no variety and food stays on the table without coolers. Looks like owners are satisfied with current style. With given price, it is anyway good choise for those who just need a place to stay and dont rate hotel with its breakfast, pool, restaurant and authentic nice tropic/thai atmosphere. They have cheap scooters to rent (4€/day) which makes it easier to those who keep it as base to go around. But if looking for nice hotel experience and prefer to have everything nearby, maybe not best choise as the location is a bit remote and hotel itself does not offer anything special.

Pros - Not expensive, nice pool. Staff was very nice and always tried to help answer your questions. Only 1 shuttle To the Beach, you will need to find own ride/transport back to hotel. Cons - Run down and a bit dingy in decor and overall cleanliness. Yellow stains on sheets and towels, had massive bug problem in the lobby where they were always sweeping away these flies/bugs that looked like ants with wings. Far from beach ~15-20 min walk.

Comfortable, peaceful hotel
I spent 7 nights in the hotel with my sister and cousin. I loved my stay here. Lovely, quiet, very clean hotel with nice breakfast and amazing view. The pool is brilliant! The receptionists were very helpful. The lady who run the kitchen at breakfast was also very kind. Only the europian looking managers/ owners were unfriendly. Never sad hello to us. Only one disadvantage. It's not close to the centre. We most evenings had a tuktuk ride. Cost 200 baht.
