The Melody Phuket Reviews

I really don't know where all these good reviews come from. First, the hot water in my shower was around 30 degrees Celsius both nights. Phuket is in the rainy season these days, and the temperature outside is around 30 degrees Celsius. Not freezing, but certainly uncomfortable. They're probably powered by solar panels. Since I was only staying two nights, I tolerated the price of just over 200 yuan per night. Second, the soundproofing was poor. Doors slamming in other rooms was incredibly loud, and since I locked my own door loudly, it was either someone intentionally slamming doors loudly, or the hotel facilities were simply poor. Finally, I don't know if it was a hygiene issue, but I felt itchy all over my body both nights I slept. I've experienced this before in China, and it was often caused by dirty sheets and duvet covers, or mites. When I arrived, the hotel lobby was under renovation, and from the first to third floors, the hotel felt more like an apartment. The room decor, especially the bathroom and sink, was small and basic. I moved to this hotel from the Courtyard by Marriott in Phuket Town, and honestly, the emotional difference was huge. Of course, you might say the price is different, and yes, the Courtyard by Marriott is over twice as expensive. I can accept the average decor, but the lack of hot water and itchy water are truly unacceptable. By the way, they don't provide toothbrushes, toothpaste, or anything like that. 🤦 I can only say that you get what you pay for. Don't read those blogger recommendations online.
