The view was absolutely stunning. The distance to the beach only a 5-minute-walk down the stairs. Great restaurant

The floor in the bathroom it was uncomfortable to have constantly “puddle” after taking a shower. It would be better to separate shower maybe just a little bit. A lot of small insects they were everywhere, constantly climbing the walls and bothering you while sleeping

Brilliant hotel in Karon - probably one of the best on the whole of Phuket. We had a wonderful room with a sea view, it was majestic to sit on the balcony, surrounded by the jungle sounds, and see the whole beach and the sea. The property was extremely clean, cleaned and towels changed daily, also free water brought every morning. The staff was extremely helpful and supported us with every problem we had (lost airline luggage, medication needed etc). The breakfast in the restaurant was also great, at an affordable rate, the staff also cut the fruit we bought outside for us. Beach was surprisingly close, but you have to take quite steep stairs to get there. It is a quiet corner of the beach which was great. Next time we are on Phuket we will definitely come back here. There is also a swimming pool available and nice terraces if you wanna go yoga/stretching.

Not a problem for us, but the property is a bit far from Karon town with no public transport - but easily solved by taxis. Or just a 15-20 min walk along the beach.

My experience at this hotel was absolutely amazing. Almost all the rooms have balconies and windows facing the beautiful Karon Beach and the Andaman Sea, offering breathtaking views. The staff deserves special recognition – they were exceptional, attentive, and truly caring. Every request was met with prompt attention and genuine hospitality. I particularly want to highlight the owner and his family. A lady named Noo and her daughter Meow were especially kind and welcoming. Noo went above and beyond to assist me by arranging a massage therapist to come to my room. Each time I requested, within 10 minutes, I received an excellent Thai massage from a skilled local therapist who, as I understood, lived nearby. The hotel is located on a hill and has approximately 170 steps leading down to the beach. While I didn’t find it difficult to return to the hotel after a beach visit, it might be challenging for older guests to manage the climb. However, the hotel’s proximity to the center of Karon makes it very convenient and accessible. The beach was clean, sandy, and not crowded. You can rent sunbeds with an umbrella and table for 100 THB from the restaurant at the beach (not affiliated with the hotel). The rooms are well-equipped with everything you need, except for a phone. Housekeeping is provided upon request by hanging a sign on your door. I arrived three hours earlier than the standard check-in time and was allowed to access my room without any extra charge. The staff also assisted me with my luggage, ensuring a smooth check-in experience. If I return to Phuket, I would choose to stay at this hotel again without hesitation. I highly recommend it to everyone who doesn't mind a bit of exercise when going to and from the beach.

Nothing to dislike

We stayed here five nights and it was fabulous. We were about two-thirds of the way down the hill and had an amazing view of the beach from our balcony. There was direct access from the site to the beach, which is at the quiet end of the bay, with great views of the sunset. Access to the town involves walking along the beach unless you have your own transport (or use a taxi), as the road leading to the site is busy with no pavement. Luckily, there is a fabulous on-site restaurant, at the top of the hill (with amazing views), open from 7.30am to 7.30pm serving breakfast all day and a varied menu of reasonably priced Thai and other dishes. We hired a scooter in town for three days and there was adequate parking close to our room. All the staff were lovely. When we arrived, us and our bags were taken down to our room on a golf cart. Even though we were leaving at 4.30am, they insisted on taking us and our bags back up to the top to catch our taxi.

We liked everything about this place and had a wonderful stay. We would just say, don't stay here if you're not good with steps.

Location is perfect aside from not being able to walk on the road down to Karon (there's no path and it's incredibly dangerous to do so as it's a very busy road). From the room we booked you could see the whole beach and it was beautiful to wake up to each morning. You can directly access the beach from the back of the resort! The staff were really lovely, although their English was limited, they still helped us where they could and even let us temporarily use a room after check out to shower and get changed in. Breakfast was good and was everything we could need (restaurant also has a beautiful view and the staff are friendly).

The room itself was a lot different than what the photos make it seem like. The interior walls and tiles make it look like a hospital room or something and the aircon definitely needed to be cleaned!! The bed was still great and it was mostly clean. It was a bit of a pain to trek up so many stairs to get back to our room and up to the restaurant, but that's nothing that can be changed due to the physical layout of the resort.

The views from the deluxe beach front rooms are outstanding of all Karon Bay The family that own the resort are so kind, helpful and will do anything to make your stay a great experience The rooms are very spacious with all new white bedding, changed every two days Nice white towels, plus beach towels My didn't like comments are for constructive advice only and did not effect how much we enjoyed our holiday at On the Hill Karon Thank you for a wonderful stay

The bathrooms are really dated and in need of modernisation Some rooms do not have enough storage/draws (fine for backpackers) but need more for longer stays (we did get a small shelf unit brought to our rooms when raised) The property is set in stages on the hillside so lots of steps, we counted 250 from beach to top restaurant, not for anyone with mobility issues but worth it for the amazing views

Its located on the hill so views of the beach and sea are amazing, rooms are very spacious in a simple thai style. Restaurant is cosy, good food and quick service. The hotel is the Middle of the nature and few steps from the beach. Staff was polite and helpful.

As you imagine there is no shower cabin like we got used. Position is good to enjoy the beach but if you dont have car or scooter, evening time you will be forced to pay tuc tuc to go to Karon of Kata beach which are close but no way to walk there Night time ( tuc tuc expensive). To avoid extra charges for you stay payment you have to use cash, otherwise extra 3 % is applied (Booking is not highlighting this Point in the confirmation).

The location with super views and access to Karon Beach (10 minutes walk). All the staff at this family run hotel were super friendly and attentive to our requests. The bedroom / bathroom was a good size with a lovely sea view balcony. The swimming pool was nice but could do with some new umbrellas and seat cushions!! The breakfast was great. Scooter hire from the hotel was very useful. The family owners and the staff were wonderful. We would not hesitate to return or to recommend this hotel.

No complaints only compliments

This is a dream place for a beach holiday. The restaurant area has a fabulous view over the beach and sea, as did our room (though not all rooms have this). The steps from the hotel lead down onto a quiet end of Karon beach with soft sand and warm water. There is a restaurant/bar there and many more if you walk along the beach

The restaurant closes very early in the evening and we found this inconvenient. There is a big ugly pipe on the beach leading into the sea though we did not notice any pollution in the water and maybe it is just a land-drain for rain-water.

The staff was extremely attentive. In rainy days we woke up and found an umbrella at the door of the room and they took us from the hotel to the bus stop to catch the transport to the airport. Moreover, the right to breakfast is valid all day long and since it was low season they allowed us to have late check out at no extra cost. The best staff you could think of in your vacations.

As everyone mentioned, the rooms are outdated, so, the pictures do not reflect the current status of the infraestructure. Some extra maintenance would make the place a perfect resort.
