Hotel Surf Blue Kata

Good location, clean, friendly staff.

Booked this hotel on grounds of good reviews but seriously the only good is the location. I stay here 8 nights, 1st suite I was given was dark with no window or natural light. Staff agreed to change my room and said come back in the morning. Next day I'm told no availability for a room change till the following day. Ok so once again next day same scenario, I go talk to the staff and they've given away the room that was intended for me, at this point I'm frustrated and want a refund for my remaining 6 days. I call the booking helpline but with no joy or help. Eventually I'm moved on the 4th day. Next suite has lots of natural light but that's all, this room is dirty coffee stained furniture and dirty floor. I have to use wet wipes to clean so as to not attract ants. The bed base is broken on 2 sides which makes it's uncomfortable to sleep on, bed sheets are bubbly and not pleasant. Screen door is broken and doesn't fully close so mosquitoes and bugs can get through. It's also very noisy, street sounds and motorbikes. I really don't understand why this side of the hotel is not maintained and left to rot while the other side is cleaned daily. My room was clean 1 time in those 4 days. I wouldn't stay here again or recommended it, there are plenty hotel in the same price band and area with much better service and rooms.

Nice location close to beach but a bit of walk. Many restaurants and shops nearby. Room is nicely decorated and good shower. Only downsides are no lyft and spotty WiFi. Overall a nice stay for a few nights. Try the massage place nextdoor for excellent massages.

+ Very clean room, clean bathroom, nice and bright and airy, love the blue, not far from the beach, close to shops - Small bottles of complimentary water compared to other hotels, not a very comfortable bed (not sure if I’m just quite fussy as my partner thought it was okay, but I could feel the springs in the mattress), very noisy air con

Me and my boyfriend stayed here for 2 nights. Great room and staff were wonderful, free snorkelling/ beach gear available to take to the beautiful beach that is less than a 10 min walk! Clean although had a damp smell at times, spacious room with great shower. Only thing we found was that the bed was slightly hard and there were no windows - making it difficult to tell what time of day it was when waking up! But overall good stay, a little out from the main center of Kata Beach but not a problem at all as long as everything is within walking distance.
