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.

Overall Experience We had a great stay at this homestay! The facilities were clean, including the walls, balcony, toilet, bed, and wardrobe area. Housekeeping was available (optional), and they did a nice job tidying the room without moving our belongings or luggage. They also replaced our towels daily, though we did notice small brown stains on some of them—hopefully, this can be improved. Bathroom & Safety The toilet area could use some attention. The floor was quite slippery—I actually slipped and hurt my leg once. After we mentioned it, the staff quickly added a curtain, which shows they really listen to guest feedback. A sliding door to separate the shower from the toilet area would be a great long-term fix. Housekeeping emptied the trash and provided one tissue roll daily, but we did notice hair left on the floor sometimes. Amenities The room came with a kettle, coffee/tea packets, and 3 bottles of water each day. There’s also a small fridge for storing food—very convenient. Location The location is fantastic—safe, family-friendly, and close to everything. Kata Beach is just a few minutes’ walk, and Patong Beach is a short drive away. There are multiple 7-Elevens, a big market, and many restaurants nearby, including halal options, which is great for Muslim travelers. We really enjoyed being able to explore the area at night without going far. Security The property feels very secure. You enter through a black gate with a key, then a glass door with a card tap. However, the glass door was sometimes left open, so we didn’t always need to tap. While the gate added an extra layer of security, it would be better if both entry points worked consistently. Minor Issues On our last day, we found a small lizard in the room, even though we never left the balcony doors open—not a big issue, but worth noting. Service The staff and owners were very friendly and spoke English well. They were always willing to help and accommodated our requests promptly. Final Verdict Despite a few minor hiccups, we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend this homestay for its excellent location, cleanliness, and welcoming hosts.

Room : clean, comfy and specious bed Service: staff are friendly and helpful Breakfast : serves from 6-11 am. Love the variety and great coffee. Also provides 2-3 choices of fresh fruits and everything is included in room rate! Location: heart of old town Phuket. Walking distance to every attractions in old town… fresh markets, walking street, cafe, local food, local souvenir shops, shopping mall, convenient stores etc. Will definitely come back!

The rooms are perfect. Everything is thoughtfully designed, down to the smallest detail, and there was even a first-aid kit in the room. Everything needed for a comfortable stay was provided. The description fully matches reality. Two bedrooms, a large kitchen-living room, and a spacious balcony. Consumables were replenished, including drinking water. All appliances worked, and the furniture was new. Cleaning was done every 3 days, and the cleaning time was coordinated. The hotel itself is in a quiet location, not on a main road. Our building has six floors, and there's an elevator, so waiting was never an issue. It's a 10-15 minute walk to the beach. Nearby, you'll find cafes, fruit stalls, pharmacies, street food vendors, and 7/11. The pool is clean. Early check-in was arranged without any problems, and we checked in 4 hours early. The apartment manager was always available. Definitely recommended!

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.

Quiet, tidy, and clean. Each of the four floors has a common area. Showers are convenient, and there's a place to hang laundry on the fourth floor. The price is very reasonable, just a few tens of yuan, and it even includes a freshly prepared breakfast. The location is great, right next to the Big Golden Dragon in Phuket Town. This is a hostel that really impressed me. I'll definitely come back here.

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.
