Bottom Line

The 48-room Tint at Phuket Town is a quirky candy-themed budget hotel for trendy travelers. Inside it has a boutique-hotel vibe, with fun dessert references throughout, from wall art to pastel-colored toiletries. Clean, basic rooms are accented with colorful accents plus free Wi-Fi, air-conditioning, and mini-fridges. Considering this is a budget hotel, the rooms are spacious, have small private balconies, and some include sofa beds. An on-site cafe serves light snacks throughout the day but that's it for features. Luckily, there’s plenty of restaurants, bars, and cafes in Phuket Town or at the Limelight Avenue shopping center nearby. There's not much like this quirky city-center hotel, but travelers who prefer something with a pool and near the beach might try Patong Mansion instead, near notorious Patong Beach.

Oyster Hotel Review

The Tint At Phuket Town

Scene

Small central hotel with quirky interior decor attracting young travelers

The candy-shop vibe of this budget hotel makes it a popular choice with young couples and solo travelers looking for basic accommodation close to the amenities of Phuket Town. The hotel’s vibrant entrance is unmissable, with a large colored glass panelling and bright pink signage. The vibrant on-site cafe is a welcoming space to relax or grab a snack, with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Because of its city-center location and lack of pool or restaurant, this hotel can be quiet during the day as travelers explore the local area. The Tint is on a quieter road so most guests have little in the way of noise complaints.

Location

Quirky hidden gem a five-minute walk to old town, shopping malls, and markets

This central hotel is a great base for exploring the island’s cultural capital, Phuket Town. The town center is a five-minute walk away, with a wide selection of shops and restaurants to explore. The area is known for it's popular markets, particularly the Indy Night Market that's a six-minute walk from the hotel and sells clothes, food, and souvenirs. While the hotel’s on-site cafe serves drinks, snacks and sweets throughout the day, there are a wide selection of lunch and dinner options in the Limelight Avenue shopping mall, a one-minute walk from the hotel. To escape the city, travelers might drive West to Karon Beach, a 40-minute journey, or go farther south to livelier Patong Beach, a 43-minute drive.The hotel is a six-minute walk from the Phuket Bus Terminal and around an hour from Phuket International Airport by car, depending on traffic.
