The Memory at On On Hotel Review โ
The Memory at On On Hotel is undoubtedly the most iconic and best-known heritage hotel on Phuket Island, and this is for a few reasons. Built in 1927 and called Un Un Hotel at the time, the hotel possesses a strong Sino-Portuguese personality in a very central location on Phang Nga Road, the heart ofย Phuket Old Town.

The hotel was later called On On Hotel and was a rather shabby backpacker spot. These are probably the two reasons the hotel was selected to be in the movie โThe Beachโ with Leonardo DiCaprio in 2000. We visited the hotel at the time and took some photos. See them at the bottom of the page. It was really cheap, indeed! The most expensive room (standard aircon twin bed was 400 baht, and the cheapest one was 180 baht! (standard fan room, 1 bed, shower outside!)
If you look at the photos, it was pretty much like in the movies, except that we never saw the lady washing the walls. The hotel was entirely renovated a few years back, revealing a true hidden gem, and renamed โThe Memory at On On Hotelโ.
The Rooms and Suites
The On On Hotel in Phuket Town offers a charming blend of history and comfort. Its classic rooms feature colonial-style decor with antique furnishings, air conditioning, and private bathrooms. Guests can expect 4 room types with various room sizes and beautiful colour tones: Superior Room, Deluxe Room, Junior Suite, and The Memory Suite.
Modern amenities, including WiFi and key card access, complement the historical charm. With high ceilings and unique architectural details, the rooms provide a glimpse into the hotelโs rich heritage.
