very close to bus station to all the beaches.
8.7
it was nice,but the dorm are seperated by plastic, some roovies of it are not cover, so you should take a earplug keep away from noise. it is a clean hostel, and there is a big tv and hundreds of movie disks in the public area.i had a very nice time there.
Hotel Feature Tip: The hostel very near to bus station to all beaches of phuket island.

Great location but small dorms

Great kitchen

good place at phuket town, near bus stop to beaches. thai airway is in front. ranong road is easy access to main attraction of phuket town. the dorm is clean but narrow and feel like a bit hot box. i have seen rooms are good, these rooms face to garden. good garden to relax. great kitchen. good enough for solo traveler. big tv and free internet. staff is good and friendly, some like phuket style no smile!
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip: Buy on buses 25Baht to any beach. Ranong road is closed to Thai airway and market.

Lovely hotel, great facilities

Convenient location, many facilities available for use
9.3
Conveniently located along Ranong Road, the hostel is easily accessible, and along Ranong Road you can also flag one of the numerous buses that head to the other beaches. The facilities provided in the hostel are lovely, from hot showers to a lovely lounge with computers for use and a TV with DVD player (and a huge selection of movies). There is a bar right under the hostel, and the staff are lovely and helpful. You can also book your tours/ packages through the hostel staff, and they do offer discounts. Rooms are very basic, and although the room doors cannot be locked from the outside, lockers are provided for storing your valuables. There may be a lack of power sockets in your room, so do check with the staff for power strips if you need to power up your gadgets. Limited space in the rooms, so make use of the common areas to lounge around (seats and beanbag chairs are available!)

Great Price / Location / Staff

Nice Staff, Great location
9.3
nice staff, great location. if you are at all comfortable with riding a motorcycle or bicycle on crowded streets, then rent a scooter. only baht/day, and taxis in phuket are notoriously overpriced. the driving might look like madness, but cars are very considerate of scooters and nobody wants to see an accident.
Andrea L. Solo travelers United States of America, February 01, 2012

9.7

Restaurant Tip: local restaurants: roxy bar (great mexican food) a little pricy....natural (yummmmy)

Exactly what you expect from a backpacker hostel

Not bad location, good range of facilities
6.3
this hostel does exactly what you would expect from a backpacker hostel in thailand, no more, no less. it has everything you need from clean sheets, cheap rooms, towels, dvd room for those relaxing times and internet. they do not dress it up in any way which would make an improvement but you get what you are there for. it is clean if a little dated, and has a good local food market in the evenings.

Decent hostel - more of a 1night stopover

Price - did exactly what a hostel should do.
6.3
No wows to this place, but similarly no problems. Clean, staff ok, chilling room - pretty standard really. Situated in phuket town, there really is nothing to do close to here other than the bar directly next door. What with buses finishing at 6pm and taxis charging 500baht (10quid)to anywhere of significance - the hostel should only be used for stopovers in my opinion. Close to thebus station and handy for in and out of phuket, is a great place to charge overnight if arrving in late as i did. Does exactly what it says on the tin.
