The place looks great, clean, friendly staff esp. Mr Tom. Would definitely recommend this place to single or courting couples. The price is reasonable too. But one thing I dislike: Smoking!! Please.... management! Do not allow people to smoke at the behind room(with the mable table u0026 benches). Hope to stay @ the hostel again in the near future!

Unfortunately they leave keys and directions basically on the street at night for people who need to check in after the reception is closed. I felt very unsafe cause anyone could just open doors and walk everywhere in the hostel. The safe lockers are outside the rooms and the room doors are not lockable. The two stars are for the friendly staff and it is ok clean. Also very cheap and in a good location.

For the price I paid 115 baht it was a good night sleep... but the hostel need some improvement... it was clean enough to feel okay sleeping there but the walking to it from Phuket town you will need to cross through a market or something, so at night it not so pretty, but it is totally safe!

Great value for low price! I came for 2 days, stayed for a week in dorm. Convenient place to take buses to beaches, local market and many food stalls are very close as well as 7Eleven. WiFi is good enough to freelance. Have some fun playing pool, for free ;)
Lockers are a bit small, but ok, place is safe and quiet. Luggage room helped me to walk around after check-out, which is 11am.

Clean Air Con room. Room 110 is spacious! Friendly and helpful staff. Good location. A short walk to the Bus Station. A few roads away from the Chino/Indy Market Street. The buses start outside and go to all the places that you need to go.

I've been to many backpacker hostels. But this one is by far the worst i have ever been. All 4-dorm-bed rooms are in the same room, just separated by a thin plastic wall which is open on top. So you hear everything from every room what makes it hard to sleep. Also the metal beds make big noise. They told us they close the main door at midnight, and the reception is open till 1 o'clock in the morning. At half past 10 we couldn't get back in because the door was already closed. Also at the reception was nobody to open up. The next morning i got to the reception to order a coffee, because they have a nice coffeemachine at the reception. The woman there just signalised with her hands that she has no time to make coffee because she is watching TV. So in total... Worst, and smallest rooms i have ever seen combined with the worst unfriendliest service i ever had in life. Better you pay a few thai bath more and get anywhere else the feeling to be in a normal backpacker hostel.

Oh well, it's one of my favourite hostel in Phuket town. When I booked and read the review from previous guest I just lower my expectations as possible. But when I get there I found that the staff and the place is not that bad.
Especially the receptionist they are helpful, but yeah the other people aside of receptionist most probably won't speak English.
