Our experience at the hotel was great and delightful. The hotel has great facilities, it is close to the beach, has a good restaurant and provides a rich and abundant breakfast. The staff is very professional and friendly, a special mention to the reception team, May, Mia and Tina. And special thanks also to Aey at the lobby for his help.

Amazing experience at Novotel Kata Avista. We were staying in a family room as travelled with our 2 children. The room was great with wonderful little gestures for the children. The hotel catters very well for the little ones - the kids club, rooms, breakfast, small swimming pool etc. The only drawback would be that the hotel is situated on a steep hill but this didn't bother us and even the children managed to go up and downhill twice a day. The hotel offered free shuttle to the beach but honestly, it is so close that it is not worth using it. There are plenty of restaurants and shopping nearby.

Max tre ***

Hotellet är generellt ett bra hotell, särskilt populärt bland barnfamiljer. Det finns dock några faktorer som påverkade vår bedömning: • Hotellet ligger på en kulle med en mycket brant uppförsbacke. • Under de fyra dagar vi bodde på hotellet fungerade inte hissen, vilket innebar att vi fick gå fem trappor efter den branta uppförsbacken. • Receptionen vid incheckning verkade mycket rörig och saknade tydligt management, vilket gav ett oseriöst intryck. • Restaurangens och barens priser var oskäligt höga, betydligt dyrare än de andra närliggande restaurangerna. Jag vill ge hotellet ***.

Perfect hotel in Kata Beach

Great stay, we loved it so much that we extended our stay for an extra 10 nights on top of the original 9. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Great facilities for kids. Really great massages at the spa. It’s postioned on top of a steep hill but they have a shuttle. Lovely pool too. I would stay there again. Bar drinks can be very expensive, good happy hour at the pool but outside of this it’s very expensive. Also did not like being charged for the individual activities at the Kids Club. Virtual Reality/charity shop should be repurposed as Muay Thai boxing/gym extension.

The staff are friendly and the food is decent. However, overall the hotel is not 5 stars. The TV is old and has a very poor choice of channels. The room also was inconvenient to arrive to with two separate lifts (one of which wasn’t working). There is also a large hill to climb if walking back to the hotel. Overall decent but not great.

Lovely hotel and the best and most helpful and welcoming staff. Cozy and quiet place even though it’s very close where everything happens. Great activities for kids too. Only minus is that there’s a lot of Russians. That’s up to you to decide wether that’s a minus. Would definitely come back.

A few minutes walk to the main dining & nightlife streets, and to the Kata night market as well. Overall, we would recommend this property and stay again!
