The Artist House is the perfect place to stay if you are looking for a nice, clean, and friendly place to sleep and shower. I wouldn't recommend the hotel to someone who is looking to lounge around and use hotel amenities, but I highly recommend The Artist House to anyone that will be out and about in Phuket the majority of their stay. The Artist House is clean and very modern, but the best thing about The Artist House was the AMAZING Staff. Everyone was so polite and friendly, and truly cared about their guests. They did everything they could do to help us navigate the city and select the right tours for island hopping. We had a little mishap with the tour agency, but The Artist House made sure that everything was resolved, and even compensated us with a discount from their own pockets, even though it was the tour agency's fault. The hotel is small (boutique like), so the staff really tries to get to know their guests, which I think was really sweet and goes above and beyond the larger hotels. In addition the great hotel and absolutely amazing staff, the hotel is also in walking distance to Patong Beach.
