Borbaboom Phuket Poshtel & Hostel

4 Carrie Addams - 7 months ago

We stayed in a private room with en suite over Christmas 2021. The room was comfy and clean with a spacious bathroom and huge shower.

The pool is excellent! (And the wifi is strong enough to video call home from the pool area too!)

The location is great and everything we needed was walkable. We also recommend The Vegan Table, a restaurant opposite.

The staff were friendly and helpful and didn’t stop cleaning!

There is a huge communal kitchen, free water and use of a fridge.

The only con was that the room didn’t have a window, which I struggle with. It did have a “balcony”, although this was very small, faced a wall and was shared with the next room so we didn’t leave it open for safety and security. We did leave our main door open when we were in the room to let in some light from the corridor.

Liked this hostel a lot. Definitely recommend to folks - However it’s in old town so far away from patong beach and the usual party areas. The cab here is pretty expensive (500-609 baht for one ride from hostel to patong) so recommend buying bikes for daily commute

Good spacious rooms and washrooms. We stayed in capsule type beds on third floor in a mixed dorm - the capsule itself was pretty spacious thought someone with claustrophobia may have some issues to get accustomed. It has curtains as entrance to capsules so should be fine eventually

The cleanliness is top notch with towels available with each capsule, which are changed on a daily basis. The room and bed are also made on daily basis.

Hostel also has swimming pool on top but it was closed when we were there - looked spacious in whatever shape it was!

We stayed in the private room. The room was clean and pretty big, with a big shower and bathroom. The staff was nice and helped with everything we needed.

The pool area was great, the Wi-Fi reached every part of the hostel.

The area around the hostel is nice, there are plenty of restaurants to choose from while still being pretty quiet.

The only problem we encountered was that the room didn’t have any windows. Only a balcony which faced another building and was shared with another room.

Great rooms. Ok service. The location is very far from the beach. Clean. Free breakfast. Nice pool.

the pool was closed (big reason for choosing this hostel) and there was mold in the showers. and also in the room itself

Stayed there for a while 2 years ago whilst i was looking for my own place. Great service from the staffs and owners. Clean and comfy at a very cheap price. Highly recommended for a group of friends or family.

Very new and clean place in Phuket old town. A rooftop pool provided for the price of hostel.

Stayed in the single room once and there is everything that's needed. The bedding was very comfortable. Common area equipped with cute decorations, a pool table, laundry, cutlery and plates. Bread and coffee provided.

Came back for the whole private capsule room with 3 other friends and was not disappointed; each capsule got its own ventilation, bedding was as comfortable as remembered.

Overall, both stays were worth more than it costed and the pool is not to be missed! Will definitely come back again.
