Hostels in Phuket Province, Thailand

My first time staying at a deck dorm style.The manager was willing to come, and did check in for me in the middle of the night. Do the 200 Baht refundable deposit. Give me the towel. Informed me to the rule of no sandal/shoes at 2nd floor to maintain the floor kept clean. That is all you can see. Nice room, chill, no noise in the room, and other ”I am sleeping” rules. If you have an issue of not using sandals in the bathroom, then honestly you just need a hotel with a private room. Yeah, upper deck was scary. I dreamt of falling down 😪 Well, deck dorm style is not just for me. But a good experience here, and with 217 Baht (including tax) I paid, it is worth the money. This hotel provides breakfast too. Something I don't really expect 😁😁 They also give me a key gift over a checkout. For sure, I get my 200 Baht back.

My initial thought on this accommodation business is in some ways positive. If it is viewed purely as a 'hostel' with an associated coffee shop, then it definitely has attributes (and I'll come back to those later). But if taken at face value on the basis of its tariff cost and amenities, both real and indicated, then there are several problems with it. The first is the way the premises is represented on the Trip com platform. Photographs of the double bedroom include one of a bathroom. The attached text description and its context makes the plain implication that the room has an ensuite bathroom, which it does not. If little scrutiny is applied when reading the description, this fact will escape the readers attention. Anyone looking to make a reservation quickly can easily be misled (inadvertently?) into believing that this is a 'hotel' style room. Many hostels do offer rooms with ensuite bathrooms after all. The bathroom is communal and is inconveniently located on the ground floor. Rooms are above this. A second related criticism is the room size description - 18 m sq is quoted. The room has dimensions of 3 x 3.5 m. That is, about 10 m sq ! Although late February is still peak season in Phuket, it has to be said that the room tariff of almost $60 AUD per night is exorbitant. It may be considered acceptable for a 18 m sq hotel style room, given the circumstances, but a room of this kind at this particular locality ought to be offered at a lower price. Having said this, I concede that the reservation was made late and in haste. Now onto the good things. The 10 m sq double bed room has old but high quality wooden furniture which serves its purpose well. The air conditioning is responsive and strong There is a large kitchen next to the bathroom/wash basin (trough). It's equipped with a large fridge, sink, cutlery etc as well as a coffee maker ( + ground coffee). A delicious banana cake was offered to guests. Clothes can be washed and dried via a coin operated machine. Other attributes include the woman owner/ manager who has a professional approach and an attitude very well suited to the hospitalality jndustry. The coffee shop also makes decent coffees and ham n cheese croissants.

The room was very clean, hot water was plentiful, the hairdryer was powerful, and the air conditioning worked great. Overall, I was very satisfied! 👍 The price was also very affordable, and the owner was lovely. I'll definitely choose this place again next time I'm in town!

Pros: Great location, helpful staff, simple breakfast provided. Cons: 1. No elevator, and the latter half of the stairs are open-sided, which is something to consider if you have a lot of luggage. 2. The bed had bugs, lots of ants, basically felt like I was sleeping with them. 3. There's a night market right below. The sign says it closes at 10 PM, but one night they were still singing past 11 PM. Other times, it wasn't even open. 4. The shower water pressure was too low, and the temperature wasn't hot enough. 5. The air conditioner made noise when changing the fan mode, and on the last day, the cooling effect was poor. 6. They charged extra for an additional blanket in a double room, and later I found bloodstains on it...

It was a very good trip in the hostel. The location is perfect, very close to several night market, to the grossery, a lot of good restaurants and cafe, from 5 minute to the old town and very close to the pier to go to Phi Phi Island.  The personal is also very kind and helpful !

Very good value. Dorms are quiet and cold. I stayed on a Thursday and there wasn't any music. It is 15 minutes walk from the airport. You can also walk to the local Naiyang market and beach from here which is great for sunset. Dorm is also very clean because the staff make guests take their shoes off on the bottom floor, which I appreciate.

The hostel was okay overall—nothing special, nothing terrible. The location was convenient, close to public transport and some restaurants. The dorm room was basic but clean enough, though the beds were a bit hard and the room felt cramped. The shared bathroom was acceptable but sometimes messy during peak hours. Staff were friendly but not particularly helpful. Breakfast was simple—just toast and coffee. Wi-Fi worked fine in common areas but was weak in the rooms. For the price, it's fair if you just need a place to sleep. Not a bad choice for budget travelers, but don't expect too much.

I liked this hostel very much. It provides everything you need, like shampoo and shower gel; breakfast is included. Laundry service is machine self-operated with coins. You can save money with drying because they have a covered area for you to dry your clothing; it dries very quickly. It's close to Phuket old town Sunday street market. The only thing that I didn't like is that the aircon is not on all the time, they turn it off from 11:30 to 16:30. They keep the fan on so it is bearable. The hostel is very clean and the staff is very friendly and helpful. There are lots of restaurants closeby and a shopping mall with a food court about a five-minute walk. If you book a tour the hostel is in the pickup zone so the van can be arranged to pick you up.

Although it's far from the airport, it's close to Patong Beach and there are other street areas to enjoy. You can get to a bus stop near this hostel for about 100 baht from the airport bus. There's also Central Shopping Mall, but it was out of budget for my solo trip.

We stayed for a one-night visit and overall the experience was fine, with clean facilities and everything generally in good condition. However, the main issue occurred during check-in. Upon arrival, we found the reception area closed with a “closed” sign displayed, and there was no clear way to contact the hotel staff by phone or otherwise. This was quite inconvenient, especially after traveling and arriving with luggage. After waiting for around an hour, the staff eventually returned and reopened the check-in counter. They explained that they had been upstairs carrying out maintenance work, which unfortunately left guests unattended at the front desk during that time. While the stay itself was otherwise comfortable and acceptable, the lack of availability at check-in and poor communication upon arrival significantly affected the first impression. Improving front desk coverage or providing a clear contact method during temporary closures would greatly enhance the guest experience.
