    No air con in hallways and bathroom, which is usually fine but it could get really really hot, especially in the bathroom. Also, the keys given for the lockers are not unique, aka you can unlock any locker with your own key, and vice versa, which didn’t make me feel very safe leaving my valuables in there.

    Amazing location, great price, comfy beds, fridge and kitchen. Really nice interior design too, especially the netted chillout area on the first floor. Phuket Old Town hostels generally don’t seem too social but this hostel was decent for meeting people due to the communal spaces.

    Provides a Doona rather than a sheet. Quite common is SE Asia, even with the aircon, the doona is hot!

    Staff were super helpful. The location is great, so close to all the shops and restaurants. Shoes off make it nice and clean. Bathrooms are downstairs and has beautiful vines growing through the walls so it feels earthy. A good amount of fans everywhere. Good WiFi. The private room is super comfortable and spacious.

    The WIFI was rather poor in my private room, although I could sit out in the common area for most tasks so it was not really an issue, just meant I couldn't watch anything online come bed time, but again it wasnt an issue, most areas it worked well enough.

    The location is almost right in the centre, but just outside perhaps 2-3 minutes walking, but its on a quiet street and the rooms are set back from the front so its very quiet inside the building and rooms. The price was fair given the location and it is peak season almost. Free tea and coffee and water station was helpful, overall a pretty nice chill hostel

    The only thing that comes to my mind is to let know in advance the options to arrive to the hostel and which bus stop is the closest one. Apart from this small detail, everything was great

    All the staff in general were super nice. They had always the best recommendations and perfect vibe. I wished I could have had more time to spend with Mai. I really enjoyed the chats with her. Looking forward to go back. Thanks for everything, I could not have such an amazing time in Phuket without you and please keep the great work.

    The staff were super friendly and kind! Koko gave some great recommendations and was very accommodating. The whole place is really nice and well designed it feels super homely and safe. The front of house is a bookstore which is a nice touch and there were so many cushions and areas to lounge in which was lovely The bedrooms were clean with aircon. The location was excellent and is very central. Definitely recommend staying and would stay again!

    The hostel is on the main street of Phuket Old Town, very convenient and somehow it is more quiet on that part of the street. It offers different common areas for making a call or using laptops, the staffs are very friendly and helpful and the shower/toilets are well-kept.

    We booked the private room.It is very small if you are not a backpacker. The bathroom has shower almost over the toilet, so for us was very difficult to walking in the bathroom.

    Friendly staff, genuine hostel, nice neighbourhood and everyting you need.

    Right in old Phuket town which makes it walkable around the area. If wanting to go to the beaches, you can take public transportation just a couple of blocks away. We stayed in a private room with private bathroom and it was very comfortable. The staff is nice and helpful.

    Noisy, inconsiderate neighbors.

    The lady staff is so friendly and such a hard worker. When I was there, she was running the place by herself. I never saw her stop working, aside from short meal breaks. Bathrooms are cleaned every morning. By evening time, they are a mess. Travelers here don't pick up or clean after themselves in the bathroom (dirty sinks and toilets). Shared kitchen and fridge available. Excellent location Dorm beds have privacy curtains and electrical socket. 🙏 I recommend staying here 👍 Great stopover place for catching the bus elsewhere...
