Given the price, the stay was OK. We had booked the sea view room which is located at the top of the hill. There are no elevators so the walk to the room is an endless amount of stairs. The hotel does however provide a car shuttle to the rooms if requested. The hotel staff was very friendly and service minded but the hotel itself was quite run down. There seems to have been an attempt at refurbishing the rooms but we discovered some sort of bugs in the wooden nightstand and table. There were also issues with the plumbing and we had to call for maintenace twice because the toilet wouldnt flush. The balcony was large with a nice view of big buddah and the ocean. However, if you stood too close to the railing you could see into the next room and they could look into yours.
The location of the hotel was optimal and very close to the beach and there were plenty of resturants and ameneties nearby. For a short stay i would recommend this hotel but dont waste your money or leg muscles on a sea view room.

We love it here. The pool is great, nice and deep, the views of Kata Beach are spectacular and the breakfast buffet, my goodness, amazing. Help yourself to espresso coffee, croissants, egg station etc. Great. And all 3 minutes walk to Kata tbeach.

All was good, though the top floors are WAY up the hill. Beds were okay and it was relatively quiet. There was one beach shuttle snafu.

The ocean view room @ the top of the hill was good,very hilly even to get to lobby for shuttle,the restaurant stated 6 pm went in @ 6.20 pm no one there.One room service meal was delivered cold & slopped all over plate Wife was not impressed.Would recommend pool view room that also has ocean view these are the standard room but a lot less steps.The staff were excellant WIFI @ the top was very intermitant evan after we were given VIPGUESTACCESS.We have stayed @ several resorts in Kata & would probably choose another resort less hilly next time.

We booked a sea view rom but we saw the room it was partial sea view ( rom Number 100’s) . They moved us to another rom NeXT say ( 600’s) . It would hAve been much better if they gave us the correct room at our arrival.

Nice hotel with lovely staff. Our room was in need of some minor maintenance but nothing worth a room change.Its noisy if your room is by the road but those inside are much quieter. Not much assistance in trying to get a late checkout if that is important to you. Be aware that there is lots of stair climbing at this resort.Otherwise a lovely stay.

Be prepared... lots of steps up to rooms. Good if you want to stay fit and work off a few calories. General hotel is good. A lot of rooms on different levels. Lots of places to eat near by but the nearer you get to Karon the better the choice and the lower the cost.

Breakfast is fairly good. The hotel is quite an old one unlike the look in the picture. However, it is maintained in clean and tidy condition. Suggest to provide box tissue in the room as the toilet roll is not too rough.

Can not think of a single good thing to say about this experience. Staff was horrible. Room was not what we reserved. Internet was not available in room. Location not as described. Would strongly suggest to stay away from this dismal place.

It was not clear to me that we would have to climb hundreds of steps to get to our room. The ocean view is not directly visible from the room. Beds were crazy hard. Room was clean and lovely, and staff were helpful and friendly.

Hotel constructed on slopes of hill. From street level climb stairs up to lobby then climb up to room. Not suitable for elderly, handicap and families with infants. Kata beach 5 minutes walk from street level. Have 3 times a day one way shuttle to beach. Breakfast OK.

Overall good stay. Loved pool and pool bar. Room with balcony and great view of Kata Beach. Good breakfast selection. Waiter/chef had bit of a mix up and starter offered after main was served in restaurant. So gave restaurant a miss after that, but food was ok. I think they had an off night as other guests seemed to have issues also. Walk to Kata Beach a bit tricky due to shortage of pavement and traffic, but shuttle service provided.

What a wonderful stay!! The hotel was immaculate,all the staff were immensely friendly and helpful. We had a room with stunning views that was reached by quite a few stairs so probably wouldn’t be suitable for anyone with any mobility problems. Great selection for breakfast, and a good pool and restaurant menu. Would stay again and again.

Great holiday at Orchidacea Resort, the location is perfect, just few steps away fro the beach, restaurants and shops. Staff is friendly and helpful and the facilities in the hotel are great. Will definitely come back again.

Pleasant stay, great view, convenient location. Lots of steps, good excercise but no good if you are not fit.

Great location and overall decent hotel. The ocean view was very very nice. However the overall condition of the hotel is not great - it is pretty old and some renovation is needed. Also the balcony has a great view but no privacy - you can basically your beigjbkrs if they are on their balcony too. Staff was nice. Breakfast was not good but not awful.

The room was fairly standard size wise. It was clean and bedding and towels were changed daily. Tea and coffee were provided. The room was supplied with a water heater which wasnt particularly efficient. It was difficult to know when, or even if, the water was boiling. A kettle would have been better. There were a couple of sockets but more would be better. The pool was lovely and towels were supplied for use there or on the beach.The breakfast buffet was satisfactory. There was plenty of fresh fruit,salads and breads and an egg station. Like many hotels much of the food was precooked and kept warm.The position of the hotel was good as it was close to shops and restaurants and the beach.

Nothing special about this hotel. Its inconvientely on top of a mountain just like everything else in the neighborhood. So lots of climbing stairs and inclines. There was no wifi connection in the room and the front desk wasnt in a hurry to do anything about it. They finally came to the conclusion that one of the hotspots were down and that it wont be up for a few days.. by that time I would be gone so it was a moot point. The air conditioner wasnt the best quality. Took a while to cool off the room. There is no safe in the room. They only give you one key to the room. I would recommend the hotel updating to a card key system. The pool was nice, good temp. Checking out was a bit of a hassle since they inspect your room as you are checking out. My brother got charged for a towel that was already ripped and shredding because they claimed he stained it and it wont wash out (it was dirty but nothing a little wash and bleach cant get out). Overall what can you expect from a 3 star hotel. Only stayed there for a few days and it sufficed but if I had to do it again I would pick another place.

Good value for money. Good breakfast and pool area. Very close to Kata and Kata Noi beaches (2min walking). But I dont recommend this place to people travelling with a baby - so money stairs to take and no elevator in some buildings.

Hotel was okay but the standard rooms are old and very noisy. Our friends stayed in upgraded rooms and then it's fantastic. A lot of stairs in the hotel though so be prepared for exercise....
