Glam Habitat Hotel Kamala Beach (SHA Extra+)

Our stay at Glam Habitat was very disappointing. Having read all the amazing reviews, we expected more - better service, great location, amazing premises, delicious food. Unfortunately the communication with the booking team is very poor. Some might find the design of the hotel very appealing but we did not. Avoid booking rooms in building 1 - rooms are facing a very busy road. Rooms are super modern, spacious with comfortable beds and great plunge pool. Breakfast buffet is repetitive and poor. Beach, restaurants and bars are just 5 minutes walk from the hotel which is very convenient.

Just had the most amazing week at Glam Habitat with my mum and sister! This was one of the best hotels I’ve stayed at. The staff are SO amazing!!! They made my mums birthday extra special with so many cute touches and details. Honestly the staff there were the main reason our stay was so beautiful. Big shout out to the taxi driver DEE who was so helpful and nice. The pool is lovely and the location is right next to the beach. Could not recommend Glam Habitat more!!!

This was actually my 2nd stay at the Glam Habitat in Kamala. It's an ideal location just a few steps away from one of the best beaches in Phuket in my opinion.||The hotel is fairly small so it never felt busy, even during breakfast (which is really good). The rooms are more like apartments with a separate living room and bedroom, plus there's the lovely private pool on the side. The pool isn't heated so it can be quite refreshing but it's great on those hot days.||The staff are really nice and always happy to help with anything you need and always smiling.||I'd recommend staying here if you can find availability, I'll definitely be coming back for a 3rd time in the future.

Firstly the good parts…||The staff were very friendly and polite, but it was clear they were very inexperienced. It was very frustrating trying to speak with them in the international language that is English. They decorated our bed in a lovely fashion for our anniversary and they were friendly when they delivered room service. ||The room itself was very comfortable and well equipped. However, for us it was just so annoying to contend with unnecessary technology to carry out simple tasks. The lighting in the bathroom is incredibly dingy and the bedroom too. The rooms are in better condition than the common areas of the hotel. This was some consolation after having to walk-through the unclean corridors and lift.||However, the hotel is far far from perfect||The owners of this hotel need to look closely at the management they employ - especially the cleaning and maintenance. It must have been stunning when first built, but doesn’t stand up to close scrutiny now!||A quite disappointing stay. Overall, an overpriced, overhyped hotel. Clearly designed to maximise the bling factor, Glam Habitat, or Grim Habitat as we dubbed it, hits the mark on that brief. It’s quite tacky though - aimed at the ‘Love Island’ type market. This gadget and gimmick obsessed place has far more style than substance though.||Upon checking in, after the briefest of welcomes, we were hit with an instruction to part with £66 deposit. Furthermore in the room you are given an inventory of 300 items that the room comprises of - along with the (incredibly inflated) cost of everything. You can smell a scam instantly! The management staff seem very young and immature.||Our room corridor wasn’t swept in 7 days. In this time we didn’t see the pool ever cleaned. The pool area is disgraceful.||There are no tables or chairs on the balcony of the room so you cant eat drink and relax there . Cleaning standards are quite poor, and maintenance standards even worse. We returned to our room twice to find the cleaner hadn’t locked the external sliding doors. The pool area is incredibly dirty, poorly maintained and in rapid decline. The hotel exterior is crumbling in parts with parts of the decorative facia falling away||The restaurant, which is also the breakfast room, is very grubby with the upholstery showing many stains and signs of wear and tear that have not been attended to. It’s such a shame that what once was a beautiful place is now going to the dogs.||It’s a newish place but looking very ragged round the edges through lack of love and care.|.|The bedrooms and bathrooms are very poorly lit and the corridors of the whole hotel resemble a funeral parlour (totally black). Extremely depressing - and grubby||The pool has only half a dozen sun-beds. The gym is poor.||Finally Upon leaving it was evident that they were trying to work a scam with the deposit. I refuse to pay my room service bill until they returned my deposit. It was clear that they hoped our need to vacate quickly would mean they could keep our deposit. I insisted that the girl on reception go and check our room whilst we have breakfast. We were handed our deposit back one minute before our taxi came to pick us up. I have literally been in over 1000 hotels and I have never once been asked to part with a deposit on arrival.||All in all a depressing soulless and very weird place

Absolutely fantastic hotel. 5 star service at a fair value. The staff could not have been more pleasant and on our family during our week stay. The location is perfect and just a 2 minute walk to the beach. The food and service is amazing. We will definitely return!

We were in villa. The rooms were clean and they filled drinking water every day. Japanese self serving toilet is definitely a bonus. The pool water was warm. The breakfast was good and enough variety, the coffee was good. Service was excellent. Some days we had some water issues - no water or no hot water, but they fixed it fast.

Excellent locations, excellent rooms with a private pool. Booked a suite and it was a very comfortable stay with great food. Will definitely book again. However if you get an option try to book a suite in the buildings not facing the road otherwise it gets noisy in morning due to traffic.

We stayed here for 10 nights as a family of 4. The apartment was really spacious and the private pool was perfect for us (although a little bit cool at first!) ||The hotel was clean, staff friendly and food and drinks were fab. The cleaning staff left bottles of water for us every day which was really appreciated. ||The main swimming pool was bliss, especially after a hot day out and about. The hotel's location was perfect for us, the beach was just a few minutes walk down the road where there were loads of bars and restaurants.||We'd recommend this hotel to anyone and would love to come back.
