BS Airport at Phuket in Nai Yang

The facilities are a bit old, but it's very close to the airport and has an indoor pool. The rooms also have bathtubs. It's close to the beach and even closer to the airport, which is super convenient. For the Thai economy, it's a pretty good deal.

It’s close to the airport which was convenient but it’s far from many touristy things🥲

Maya Phuket Airport Hotel or Maya Hotel, in short, is the first airport hotel bordering the exit of the airport international terminal. The hotel is named after the Maya mask design on the entrance doors. It is of up to two minutes' walk from the west-end exit/entrance of Phuket Airport International Terminal.

Maya Hotel is divided into the reception hall, Building A and Building B. Building A has five levels and the restaurant for breakfast. Building B has four levels where there are rooms for plane-spotting.

I am grateful to the receptionist for allocating me the room where I can enjoy coincidentally flight views of aircraft departing from Phuket through the big window. So, the hotel is useful for plane-spotting during summer months or when the aircraft flying crosses the sea.

However, the room looks dark as the walls are black. Black is the colour of the hotel. There is no wardrobe as guests hang their clothes opposite the toilet room which is separated from the shower room.

The room temperature cannot be lowered from 30 degrees Celsius to 18 degrees Celsius but the air-con fan is working. It takes up to 15 minutes for the fan to cool the room. The noise of the balcony air-conditioner is bearable.

Dinner is provided outside on the right of the reception hall until 8 pm plus local time at the ground restaurant. Two dinner choices cost me 270 Baht including sphagetti mushroom with truffle oil and fried rice.

Breakfast is on the second floor of Building A. The breakfast options are plentiful. There is the egg station where the chef prepares different kinds of eggs for guests. Breakfast starts at 6.30 am until 10 am.

The room rate of Maya Hotel is overpriced but if prospective guests wished to stay here, consider the purpose carefully first before booking. I booked this hotel because the better budget hotels such as the Sixteenth Naiyang Beach Hotel and Louis' Runway View Hotel for plane-spotting were fully-booked.

On another note, Maya Hotel provides free bicycles for use to the nearby Sirinath National Park and beaches during guests' duration of stay.

Though it's close to the airport, it's best to take a taxi. Walking there in the sun would be too tiring and hot. There are four 7-Elevens near the hotel, and you can exchange money at the biggest one by the intersection.

Beautiful hotel with pool in walking distance to the airport. 5 mins walk to international and 10 minutes to domestic. Everything was clean, pool is quite big and stuff was  friendly.

Staying for a night near the airport as a layover, it's about a 10-minute easy walk from the airport, very close. There's a 7-Eleven convenience store about twenty meters from the entrance. The AC unit outside the room was indeed super loud, and breakfast was quite average, not particularly tasty, though the restaurant staff were very enthusiastic. The front desk was also very welcoming. There's a beach and a national park near the hotel, which are quite nice for a morning stroll.
