We had a late arrival and our room was guaranteed which was nice. However, upon arrival the employee at the desk barley talked, mostly grunted. We asked him about a few services the hotel offered and he said they didn't offer it yet there was posters advertising these services around the hotel. Our double bed was two twins pushed together. Over everything the thing that I was most annoyed with was the dirty bedding. One pillow had an obvious blood stain and the sheets had yellow brownish stains. The towels were also old and stained. I had to ask the employee at the front desk for new sheets (I offered to change them myself) and he just moaned and insisted that they were just changed. To his benefit he changed the bedding (I helped) but had the worst attitude from the very beginning. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Nov 2017 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Barcelo Coconut Island Phuket](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Phuket-Hotels-The-Village-Coconut-Island.h2497603.Hotel-Information) > > [Cape Sienna Gourmet Hotel & Villas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Phuket-Hotels-Cape-Sienna-Gourmet-Hotel-Villas.h2945736.Hotel-Information) > > [Burasari Phuket Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Phuket-Hotels-Burasari-Phuket-Resort-Spa.h1321278.Hotel-Information) > > [Deevana Patong Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Phuket-Hotels-Deevana-Patong-Resort-Spa.h1594137.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Grand Phuket Kalim Bay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Phuket-Hotels-Wyndham-Grand-Phuket-Kalim-Bay.h17060685.Hotel-Information) > > [Courtyard by Marriott Phuket, Patong Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Phuket-Hotels-Patong-Merlin-Hotel.h1594106.Hotel-Information) > > [Sunwing Kamala Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kamala-Hotels-Sunwing-Kamala-Beach.h2842424.Hotel-Information) > > [Island Escape Burasari](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Phuket-Hotels-Island-Escape-By-Burasari.h38512684.Hotel-Information) > > [COMO Point Yamu, Phuket](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Phuket-Hotels-COMO-Point-Yamu.h7007196.Hotel-Information) > > [Diamond Cliff Resort & Spa, Patong Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Phuket-Hotels-Diamond-Cliff-Resort-And-Spa.h980292.Hotel-Information) > > [Kalima Resort & Spa, Phuket](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Phuket-Hotels-Kalima-Resort-Spa.h5200895.Hotel-Information) > > [The Vijitt Resort Phuket](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Phuket-Hotels-The-Vijitt-Resort-Phuket.h3234295.Hotel-Information) > > [Sunprime Kamala Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kamala-Hotels-Kamala-Beach-Resort.h478899.Hotel-Information) > > [Avista Hideaway Phuket Patong - MGallery](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Phuket-Hotels-Avista-Hideaway-Phuket-Patong-MGallery.h5040051.Hotel-Information) > > [Phuket Graceland Resort And Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Phuket-Hotels-Phuket-Graceland-Resort-And-Spa.h1594065.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Phuket Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Phuket-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Phuket-Resort-Spa.h789361.Hotel-Information) > > [Pullman Phuket Arcadia Naithon Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Phuket-Hotels-Pullman-Phuket-Arcadia-Naithon-Beach.h5333962.Hotel-Information) > > [Princess Kamala Beachfront Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Phuket-Hotels-Princess-Kamala-Beachfront-Hotel.h48452226.Hotel-Information) > > [Thavorn Beach Village Resort & Spa Phuket](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Phuket-Hotels-Thavorn-Beach-Village-Resort-Spa-Phuket.h975456.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Phuket Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Phuket-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Phuket-Resort.h523563.Hotel-Information) > > [Phuket Marriott Resort & Spa, Merlin Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Phuket-Hotels-Phuket-Marriott-Resort-Spa.h1594141.Hotel-Information) > > [The Royal Paradise Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Phuket-Hotels-The-Royal-Paradise-Hotel-Spa.h914538.Hotel-Information) > > [Arinara Beach Resort Phuket](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Phuket-Hotels-Arinara-Bangtao-Beach-Resort.h6649575.Hotel-Information) > > [InterContinental Phuket Resort by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Phuket-Hotels-InterContinental-Phuket-Resort.h34182531.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Premier Bangtao Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Phuket-Hotels-Best-Western-Premier-Bangtao-Beach-Resort-Spa.h918618.Hotel-Information) > > [The Marina Phuket Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Phuket-Hotels-The-Marina-Phuket-Hotel.h19455258.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Resort Phuket by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Phuket-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Resort-Phuket.h4977.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Points by Sheraton Phuket Patong Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Phuket-Hotels-Four-Points-By-Sheraton-Phuket-Patong-Beach-Resort.h48813411.Hotel-Information) > > [Crest Resort & Pool Villas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Phuket-Hotels-Crest-Resort-Pool-Villas.h14645851.Hotel-Information)
