At Layalina Hotel, travelers highlight the unbeatable beachfront location in Kamala and clean, comfortable rooms with sea views, while noting some dated elements, occasional musty odors, firm beds, and noise or privacy issues near ground-floor rooms.
The setting is highly walkable for restaurants and shops, though the hidden entrance and a nearby runoff can make the approach or the immediate beachfront feel less appealing at times. Guests consistently praise the warm, helpful service, though a few mention inconsistent friendliness or billing disputes. Breakfast delivered to rooms or balconies is popular and generally tasty, but selection can feel limited or occasionally inaccurate. Expect a small, boutique stay focused more on simplicity and views than on resort-style extras.

Right on beach with great views. Room is spacious with teak floors and jacuzzi bathtub. Make sure you stay on second floor. It’s right on beach walkway and lots of foot traffic going by. Tiny tiny pool for tiny hotel. This is not a resort. Staff is friendly and fulfill every request. Bed and pillows very uncomfortable like concrete. And seating in room the same. Steps from beach, restaurants and bars. But loud deep bass from nearby bar can be heard. Loved the views and sound of waves but not very relaxing

This is one of the few hotels actual on the beach in Kamala. Direct access from hotel and pool area to the lovely beach. Also direct access to restaurants, massage and shopping at the back side of hotel. A perfect location for swimming, sun bathing, dining and relaxation. Great breakfast where you can pre order what you want to eat either to the outdoor restaurant by the ocean or to your private balcony. Nice rooms even though there is a slight lack of privacy between bath room and bed room. Wonderful balcony with your own hammock and sunset ocean view. Nice service minded staff. Welcoming atmosphere. The condition of floors,maintenave etc is ok, but not top notch. But that is a minor issue as you get location, location location. This is the place to stay in Kamala.

Wonderful Stay at Layalina Hotel, Phuket We stayed at Layalina for five days and had an overall great experience. The location is perfect – the beach is right outside the door, and everything you might need (restaurants, shops, etc.) is within walking distance. Our room was always clean and comfortable, although the whirlpool tub could use some maintenance, as the jets likely need a deep clean. Still, the housekeeping staff was attentive and asked daily if we needed anything. The staff in general was absolutely lovely – friendly, helpful, and always ready to assist. We really felt welcomed and well cared for. We had breakfast delivered to the room each day, which was a nice touch. Although a few items were occasionally missing or incorrect, the food was always tasty with a good variety. Some of the highlights were the amazing view and the rooftop area, which is perfect for sunbathing and relaxing. The private balcony was also a wonderful place to unwind. All in all, we truly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend Layalina to anyone visiting Phuket!

We enjoyed the deck with an amazing beachfront view, the quirky spiral staircase from our own room to a private rooftop lanai (which could have easily been improved with a bit of ambiance - it only had faux plastic green grass flooring and two old lounge chairs). This hotel was conveniently located right in the center of a colorful cute town; amongst a market nearby and plenty of booths and fine restaurants. The staff were friendly and kind - also thankfully accommodating us with a safe place to put our luggage and permission to hang at pool most of the day while we awaited a late afternoon flight.

This hotel is a little gem in Kamala. Everything about it was excellent for us. Some have noted a “trashy” entrance alley, but it was convenient to be able to walk in from the street and quieter to be set back from the bustle. The “trash” in a stairway off the alley is just household stuff from the people living in the apartment above. It’s not garbage. We never saw a single rat, and very little litter anywhere. The staff were warm and welcoming, and the rooms were beautiful. We had two adjoining on the ground floor, and the only sound we heard in 4 days was the surf, steps away from our patios out the back of the rooms. The pool is clean and extremely well maintained, and with outdoor showers, a great way to clean up after swimming in the sea. The bed was firm and comfortable, sheets pristine, bathroom fitted with spa tub and rain shower. There was a mini fridge, kettle, and complementary water, tea, coffee. Out the front door and down the short alley, you are right on Na Hat Road, easy walking to many restaurants, shops, massage parlors. It’s about 3 minutes to the taxi stand where there is always someone willing to take you where you want to go. If we are ever back in Phuket, we’ll stay here again in a heartbeat.

The hotel itself is pleasant and in a reasonably quiet spot at one end of Kamala Beach. Room was comfortable and staff friendly. Beach towels provided, which was very nice - as well as a hammock for the balcony, which my husband enjoyed. However, the breakfast was minimal and the pool was out of service. Workers were pounding/hammering near it; very noisy. The area (and not just near the hotel) suffers from an occasional sewer smell, but not inside the room, which was much appreciated. Be prepared for lots of tourists at this beach! All in all, if you are looking for a smaller place away from some of the crowds that has nice rooms and staff, and don’t want/need extra amenities, the Layalina would be a good choice.

Airport shuttle easy to find and efficient. The front of the hotel is hidden between shops/bars and the little alley to the front door is very off putting with scooters and clutter everywhere. WiFi good and fast. Staff always friendly and very helpful. Room was very clean but needs a little update and tidy.

This property gives you the experience of being in a beachfront location in a basic setting. The property was nice and clean, however, due to being so close to the beach and the damp smell in the room I was worried about the air quality of their air condition system. The customer service was ok, not friendly and accommodating in the way that you would interact with other locals. If you are looking for a modern style, this may not be the place. With being beachfront you see a lot of tourists walking by the back patio often throughout the day, so if you prefer more privacy this is not the location. You are in fact right in a touristy district so you can pretty much walk up and down the strip and have access to pretty much everything. Location is ideal if you want to be right on the beach. The room decor was basic in comparison to other nicer hotels for the same price. They could have added more rocks in the interior river rock pocket. I would still recommend this hotel to those wanting the experience of what was mentioned above.

Small, simple, but immaculate hotel, with comfortable and spotless rooms, and the most beautiful views of Kamala Beach and sunsets. Ask for a room on the second floor to get the view. Super friendly staff, starting with JOY, who made us feel at home when we checked in, and made us smile a lot explaining everything in the room. Then wonderful Lita, Amar, and intern student Moona, all super friendly. Breakfast is good value for the price, enough for starting the day ready to enjoy the beach and sightseeing. Location is great for restaurants, shopping, massage, bars, everything closes before midnight, so quiet enough for us. The only reason giving a 4 star to the location is the Bar 99 downstairs, is noisy, some weed smell coming from there, so we couldn't sit at our balcony at times, and we saw their staff throwing garbage at the river right beside, which of course ends up going to the beach. Not Layalina's hotel fault at all, but didn't enjoy that part. Otherwise, would definitely return.

Location was very good, across footbridge to beach. Restaurants, shopping and massages all only metres away from front door. Reception , housekeeping an dining staff, all very friendly and helpful. we had upstairs room, which was spacious. Two negatives, one was that locals use the walkway between main road and hotel access to beach as a public thoroughfare even though there is a sign at front entrance stating "private property". Secondly the bathroom was the worst I have encountered due to the configuration. As you enter bathroom, you open door and to side is a spa bath that is the width of the room. that's good. One step into the bathroom and you are standing in the shower, which has a back wall and one side wall that separates it from the vanity. The problem arises when you shower the water sprays onto the bathroom door and or if left open on to the floor in the hallway. The door opens onto the wall separating the show and vanity, so to access the toilet/vanity section, you have to step into the shower so you can close the door to get to the toilet/vanity.

Welcoming atmosphere. The condition of floors,maintenave etc is ok, but not top notch. But that is a minor issue as you get location, location location. This is the place to stay in Kamala.
This is one of the few hotels actual on the beach in Kamala. Direct access from hotel and pool area to the lovely beach. Also direct access to restaurants, massage and shopping at the back side of hotel. A perfect location for swimming, sun bathing, dining and relaxation.

One of the most beautiful properties I’ve been to. All my needs were catered with a wide smile right from the time I checked in. The room was impeccable. Loved the jacuzzi. The beach is right outside the hotel, making it perfect. Thank you for such a wonderful stay. I am definitely going back!

This property gives you the experience of being in a beachfront location in a basic setting. The property was nice and clean, however, due to being so close to the beach and the damp smell in the room I was worried about the air quality of their air condition system. The customer service was ok, not friendly and accommodating in the way that you would interact with other locals. If you are looking for a modern style, this may not be the place. With being beachfront you see a lot of tourists walking by the back patio often throughout the day, so if you prefer more privacy this is not the location. You are in fact right in a touristy district so you can pretty much walk up and down the strip and have access to pretty much everything. Location is ideal if you want to be right on the beach. The room decor was basic in comparison to other nicer hotels for the same price. They could have added more rocks in the interior river rock pocket. I would still recommend this hotel to those wanting the experience of what was mentioned above.

This hotel is a little gem in Kamala. Everything about it was excellent for us. Some have noted a “trashy” entrance alley, but it was convenient to be able to walk in from the street and quieter to be set back from the bustle. The “trash” in a stairway off the alley is just household stuff from the people living in the apartment above. It’s not garbage. We never saw a single rat, and very little litter anywhere. The staff were warm and welcoming, and the rooms were beautiful. We had two adjoining on the ground floor, and the only sound we heard in 4 days was the surf, steps away from our patios out the back of the rooms. The pool is clean and extremely well maintained, and with outdoor showers, a great way to clean up after swimming in the sea. The bed was firm and comfortable, sheets pristine, bathroom fitted with spa tub and rain shower. There was a mini fridge, kettle, and complementary water, tea, coffee. Out the front door and down the short alley, you are right on Na Hat Road, easy walking to many restaurants, shops, massage parlors. It’s about 3 minutes to the taxi stand where there is always someone willing to take you where you want to go. If we are ever back in Phuket, we’ll stay here again in a heartbeat.

The property is run down and not secure anyone can walk in off the street or beach. The rooms ac was turned off when we arrived so it was extremely hot and uncomfortable for the first few hours. The receptionist charged us 120 bhat for 2 very small bottles of water when we checked out that we hadn’t drank and when challenged about it she threatened to phone the police if we didn’t pay. Overall very disappointed especially with the treatment over the water.

Simple hotel but the exclusive suite had an amazing view. The welcome drink and sweets in room was nice. Located was fairly quiet but lots to do around. Lost a star for charging us unknown expense at checkout with no explanation written down of the mystery charge. It wasn’t much but we had a cab to catch to the airport and didn’t have time to argue. That’s dissapointing even though it wasn’t much. They should keep track of charges they want to charge you.

We enjoyed the deck with an amazing beachfront view, the quirky spiral staircase from our own room to a private rooftop lanai (which could have easily been improved with a bit of ambiance - it only had faux plastic green grass flooring and two old lounge chairs). This hotel was conveniently located right in the center of a colorful cute town; amongst a market nearby and plenty of booths and fine restaurants. The staff were friendly and kind - also thankfully accommodating us with a safe place to put our luggage and permission to hang at pool most of the day while we awaited a late afternoon flight.

We stayed in Hotel Layalina for two nights - one at the beginning of our trip to Southern Thailand, and one night a week later before flying to Bangkok - and we couldn't recommend the place more! The hotel is *very* comfortable, and clean. The location blew my mind - so close to the beach. The staff were amazing - so kind, courteous and helpful. They organised multiple transfers for us. I'm not a big fan of Kamala Beach as a whole - and I wouldn't necessarily go back there but if I did I'd definitely stay in Layalina again!! Thank you so much!!!

Small, simple, but immaculate hotel, with comfortable and spotless rooms, and the most beautiful views of Kamala Beach and sunsets. Ask for a room on the second floor to get the view. Super friendly staff, starting with JOY, who made us feel at home when we checked in, and made us smile a lot explaining everything in the room. Then wonderful Lita, Amar, and intern student Moona, all super friendly. Breakfast is good value for the price, enough for starting the day ready to enjoy the beach and sightseeing. Location is great for restaurants, shopping, massage, bars, everything closes before midnight, so quiet enough for us. The only reason giving a 4 star to the location is the Bar 99 downstairs, is noisy, some weed smell coming from there, so we couldn't sit at our balcony at times, and we saw their staff throwing garbage at the river right beside, which of course ends up going to the beach. Not Layalina's hotel fault at all, but didn't enjoy that part. Otherwise, would definitely return.

Layalina Hotel: Prime Location with Room for Improvement **Pros:** - Unbeatable location right on Kamala Beach, providing stunning ocean views. - The staff is incredibly warm, friendly, and eager to help, making the stay more enjoyable. - Foodies will love the nearby dining options—Ponds for authentic Thai cuisine and the wood-fired pizza across from the hotel, both of which are must-tries. - The premium suites are particularly comfortable, offering a touch of luxury amidst the natural beauty. **Cons:** - Unfortunately, the hotel is located right at the opening of a water runoff canal. While this might not bother everyone, it can be unsightly and at times, luckily the wind is strong enough so there isnt an unpleasant odor. - The beach directly in front of the hotel often has litter, mostly plastic debris washed up from the ocean, which detracts from the otherwise beautiful setting. But walk about 5 minutes down the beach and it is beautiful. **Overall:** Layalina Hotel offers a beachfront paradise in Phuket with excellent service and convenient dining options nearby. However, the sewage canal and the cleanliness of the beach are notable downsides. If these issues were addressed, this hotel would undoubtedly be a top choice for a relaxing Phuket getaway. For those considering a stay, the premium suite is worth the extra splurge for added comfort and a better overall experience.

This is one of the few hotels actual on the beach in Kamala. Direct access from hotel and pool area to the lovely beach. Also direct access to restaurants, massage and shopping at the back side of hotel. A perfect location for swimming, sun bathing, dining and relaxation. Great breakfast where you can pre order what you want to eat either to the outdoor restaurant by the ocean or to your private balcony. Nice rooms even though there is a slight lack of privacy between bath room and bed room. Wonderful balcony with your own hammock and sunset ocean view. Nice service minded staff. Welcoming atmosphere. The condition of floors,maintenave etc is ok, but not top notch. But that is a minor issue as you get location, location location. This is the place to stay in Kamala.

With being beachfront you see a lot of tourists walking by the back patio often throughout the day, so if you prefer more privacy this is not the location. You are in fact right in a touristy district so you can pretty much walk up and down the strip and have access to pretty much everything. Location is ideal if you want to be right on the beach. The room decor was basic in comparison to other nicer hotels for the same price. They could have added more rocks in the interior river rock pocket.

A wonderful stay in Kamala. Staff was excellent, views are some of the best in the area. Location could not have been better. The only thing I feel would be an improvement would be if they were to change the breakfast menu. Staying for a number of days the menu got a little old but I must say the breakfast was excellent all the same. Had a wonderful time. All and all I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a stay in Kamala.

Loved the location of this hotel, step out the door to the beach and the ocean view was just lovely from the room. It was really nice to be able to order breakfast the night before to be delivered to the room, enjoyed eating breakfast on the balcony with a view. Kamala beach is a great place to swim and sun, lots of restaurants around and plenty of massage places, including some right on the beach. Quiet area at night. Staff were friendly.

Small, simple, but immaculate hotel, with comfortable and spotless rooms, and the most beautiful views of Kamala Beach and sunsets. Ask for a room on the second floor to get the view. Super friendly staff, starting with JOY, who made us feel at home when we checked in, and made us smile a lot explaining everything in the room. Then wonderful Lita, Amar, and intern student Moona, all super friendly. Breakfast is good value for the price, enough for starting the day ready to enjoy the beach and sightseeing. Location is great for restaurants, shopping, massage, bars, everything closes before midnight, so quiet enough for us. The only reason giving a 4 star to the location is the Bar 99 downstairs, is noisy, some weed smell coming from there, so we couldn't sit at our balcony at times, and we saw their staff throwing garbage at the river right beside, which of course ends up going to the beach. Not Layalina's hotel fault at all, but didn't enjoy that part. Otherwise, would definitely return.

This was a 4 night stay and we expected more from a 4 star hotel. The entrance was hard to find, you had to drag your luggages through a small alley to get to the front door. Check in was pretty fast, the staff is friendly & polite. We booked the pool access room which was clean, roomy but a little dated. Breakfast was alright, limited selection but they serve it to your room or you can choose to eat in the common area. The hotel is located right by the beach and there are many restaurants you can walk to which is a plus. 7-11 was right around the corner. I did not see an elevator to second floor so you probably have to carry your luggages up. Also no alcohol sold at the hotel but you are welcome to purchase from outside and drink on property (first for us) They also have laundry service on site which was convenient. Overall it was okay. I would probably stay for a 1 or 2 night trip but no more than that.

This is a great hotel! Great location right on Kamala Beach. The staff was great and took great care of us. Loved being served breakfast on our balcony. We will definitely stay here again!

The hotel itself is pleasant and in a reasonably quiet spot at one end of Kamala Beach. Room was comfortable and staff friendly. Beach towels provided, which was very nice - as well as a hammock for the balcony, which my husband enjoyed. However, the breakfast was minimal and the pool was out of service. Workers were pounding/hammering near it; very noisy. The area (and not just near the hotel) suffers from an occasional sewer smell, but not inside the room, which was much appreciated. Be prepared for lots of tourists at this beach! All in all, if you are looking for a smaller place away from some of the crowds that has nice rooms and staff, and don’t want/need extra amenities, the Layalina would be a good choice.

Dirty . Maid is extremely lazy. Under the bed hasn’t been cleaned in years. An unhappy environment . A 2 star hotel that happens to be on the beach

The check-in process was easy and a gentleman walked us through the room and showed us what was complementary and what was an extra charge. The breakfast process was odd but it worked and tasted very good. Overall good experience

Want to thank the friendly staff for a great week

I had a fantastic stay at Layalina Hotel and would highly recommend it. The room was spacious, beautifully designed and exceptionally comfortable, with everything I needed for a relaxing stay. Being able to step straight from my room into the pool was a real highlight. The hotel itself is in a perfect beachfront location, with Kamala Beach literally on your doorstep, making it easy to enjoy the sea, cafés and restaurants. The views are beautiful and the atmosphere is peaceful and relaxing. The staff were all incredibly friendly, welcoming and helpful throughout my stay, always happy to assist with a smile. The amenities were excellent, the room was spotless, and everything was well maintained. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and wouldn’t hesitate to return. A wonderful boutique hotel in an unbeatable location.
