I had a wonderful stay at this hostel, run by a very kind and warm-hearted old gentleman. The place was comfortable and welcoming, and he even gave me a ride to the bus terminal. I was truly touched by his generosity and hospitality. I hope to see him again the next time I visit Phuket. Thank you so much!

Very good value and a lot of space for that value. Comfy bed, good shower, lots of light and space…lots of space. It’s in a quiet area with an assortment of restaurants close by. The 15 minute walk to the old town was a good chance to see some of the area.

I recently stayed at Black Panther Hostel in Phuket, and I must say it was a great experience. The hostel is very centrally located and just a short walk from the Phuket Old Town Market, which makes it extremely convenient. The location is excellent – it’s easily accessible and close to all the main city center hotspots, markets, restaurants, and other attractions. I booked a private room. Although the room was small, it was very neat, well-maintained, and hygienic, which I really appreciated. The staff were very pleasant and helpful, always making the stay more comfortable. Breakfast was freshly prepared and quite good, adding to the overall positive experience. For anyone traveling on a budget but still looking for a clean, comfortable place in a prime location, this hostel is definitely a great choice. I’ll surely come back here again on my next trip to Phuket.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    We are on a world tour and this was by far the cleanest and most organized hostel we stayed in. Our room, toilet, bathroom, and corridors were extremely clean. We started the day with a wonderful smell of cleanliness every day. The staff was very helpful, always smiling and warm-hearted. We loved this place. We even extended it for 1 more day and didn't want to leave. Definitely choose it. Rabbitel Phuket is a clean, safe and quiet place.

    The location was perfect .. a short walk to the main cool Old Town streets. The staff were helpful and courteous. The facilities were great including a pool, beer fridge, book swap, kitchen. I had a room to myself which was well equipped although the stairs up to the loft bed were very step .. needed to be very careful going up and down. A really good hostel catering for both backpacker and older traveller which I am one. Felt safe and comfortable there.

    Great location as it was really close to the shops and cafes. Hostel itself was really nice and felt super safe. Clean and comfy beds and nice shower and toilet area which never felt busy. A cafe fronts the hostel and it’s really nice, the staff were great and have pictures giving recommendations for Phuket. One staff member was super helpful, writing an allergy card in Thai that we’ve used across Thailand.

    One of the best hostels I've stayed in. Extremely clean, quiet, and in the middle of old Phuket town. The staffs were very polite and helpful. Though the stay is the cheapest I've had in Thailand, it came with breakfast and they even gave a souvenir. Would highly recommend.
