Guest sentiment
A select-service Courtyard hotel in the heart of Old Phuket Town, blending traditional Thai design with modern amenities near local markets and heritage architecture.
Last updated July 31, 2026
Courtyard by Marriott Phuket Town is an inland, select-service hotel in Old Phuket Town's Talat Yai district, designed around traditional Thai arts and crafts contrasted with modern amenities, and positioned for travelers who want to be based in the island's cultural and culinary center rather than on a beach. It's rated 4 of 5 across roughly 330 TripAdvisor reviews, a smaller review base than the island's beach resorts reflecting its more recent opening and non-beachfront positioning. Guests consistently describe rooms as cozy, spacious, and clean, praise a varied and delicious breakfast, and specifically call out the Cantonese dim sum lunch at the hotel's Yue Restaurant & Bar as authentic and fresh. One repeat Marriott Titanium Elite guest described the staff as uniformly professional and genuinely committed to service quality. Its location is a short walk or ride to Old Town's markets, heritage shophouses, and restaurants, at around 33 km from the airport. The main trade-off versus this directory's beach resorts is the obvious one: there's no beach access on-site, and amenities are more limited (four restaurants, one pool, a fitness center) in keeping with the select-service Courtyard brand tier.
