We really enjoyed our stay at Shunli Hotel. First of all, the location is great - in the middle of Phuket Town and very near restaurants, shops and convenience stores. The hotel itself was very clean, with beautiful calming interiors. The room was spacious, with comfortable beds. The staff were great! They helped us when we had a problem with our delayed luggage (even brought it to the room for us), and they were friendly and approachable. There is also a free breakfast (that we enjoyed) in the bright and warm kitchen. Overall, a wonderful stay. Will definitely recommend.

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!

Great Budget Stay in Old Phuket Town I stayed at Black Panther Hostel and had a comfortable experience. It’s located conveniently near the tourist spots of Phuket Town, making it easy to explore on foot. The place was clean and well-kept, with cozy common areas and dorms that felt secure. The staff were friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with directions or recommendations. There’s a free breakfast included — simple but appreciated: sausage, scrambled eggs, bread with butter. Coffee and water are available 24/7, which was a nice touch. Overall, it’s a solid choice for budget travelers looking for a central location with decent amenities. I’d definitely recommend it for a short stay in town.

All hostels in 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.
