Niece Hostel

+ The rooms were clean and relaxed but inside of the building amd bathroom there was a really bad smell..Also not a social hostel if you want to socialise look for anywhere else

- The smell in the building, also i drink water from the water purifier inside kitchen, which i got enfection and got sick..

+ Good location, price and communication

- Didn’t like it was shared bathroom

+ Sauberes kleines Zimmer mit 2 Betten

- In der Nacht sehr viel Straßenlärm

+ It is clean

- No outside space

+ I really liked the staff. They had their super cute dog there, who approached us every morning with a little cuddle. The facilities were clean and it was a home atmosphere. It felt so much more modern than the rest of the area. I also got to rent a scooter from the hostel, which I definitely would recommend doing. You also know that your deposit or ID-Card is in good Hands and will be kept safely until the end of the rental.

- The area in which the nice hostel is located is actually not the best in Phuket. It's far from the airport and all the main beaches. Therefore, you have the Banana Beach closeby, which is one of the most beautiful ones. The prices in the area are quite expensive for Thailand. This is due to mass tourism that's being brought up by big hotels and resorts around the beaches. Wouldn't recommend spending too much time at Bangtao beach. A big problem for me was the aircon in the mens Hostelroom. The first night, we set it to 19°C which felt more like 9°C. So we all got a cold at the following days. I don't know what the problem is there but that affected our stay in a very bad way. Even in the following nights, we had our troubles on deciding for the temperature because it was so confusing, and every night, someone new joined the room and also set it instinctively to 19 or 20°C. It also felt like the Aircon doesn't stop once it reaches this level, so you have to figure out how to get it right for you.

+ Friendly staff, pretty silent in the room.

- Very hot in common areas.

+ Das Hostel ist sauber und angenehm .Es gibt eine große Gemeinschaftsküche,unter anderem mit einem Trinkwasserautomat. Wäsche waschen vor Ort ist auch möglich. Der Sanitärbereich ist auch sauber. Es ist ein nettes Kaffee angeschlossen ,das eine gute Auswahl an Kaffee anbietet. Geschäfte und Restaurants sind fußläufig gut zu erreichen. Der Strand ist etwas weiter weg,ich habe ca 25 min gebraucht. Eve,die Betreiberin,ist sehr nett.

+ I liked this hostel a lot, it’s very cozy and in a good location of Phuket close to Bang Tao, a premium area with lots of restaurants, cafés and other convenience stores. 7eleven just across the street as well as the Phuket Smart Bus stop 600m away which takes you straight to the airport for only 100 bahts. Also in close distance to nice beaches like Surin and Kamala. I stayed in the 4-bed dorm room and it was very pleasant, the hostel really did get the basics right: comfortable bedding, big locker, clean bathroom, washer/dryer that runs perfectly. Sundae, the owner’s dog is also a sweetheart so you can play with her during the café’s operating hours. It is worth noting that the hostel is pretty quiet even though it’s located in a very busy and noisy street.

- This is my personal opinion and preference but I would rather stay in a more social hostel just because Phuket is a huge island and it can get pretty lonely if you are a solo traveler. That’s not the fault of the hostel though so if you want a quiet place, that’s your best bet. And also unrelated to the hostel but worth noting for other travelers: the traffic is pretty bad on the main road so do take that into consideration.

+ Very nice host, private room was great! Very clean.

- Private room was a little loud from outside noises

+ Eve was fantastic and messaged on WhatsApp prior to arrive to give all ways to get to hostel include most expensive taxi or cheapest public transport routes. Throughout the stay she recommended areas to visit and send pack with lots of useful info to get the most out of your stay

- A little out the way for nightlife however bolt and grabs were always available

+ The location was really good, walking distance from a lot of food places. The staff are friendly and helpful whenever you need directions or support. The bed was quite comfy.

- Only reason I gave it 9/10 is because the bathrooms were downstairs and all the rooms are upstairs. EVERYTIME you go to the bathroom you would have to climb a flight of stairs.

+ Very comfortable beds with privacy curtain and lots of storage space for luggage

- Bathrooms (1st floor) are far away from the rooms (2nd floor) Also no A/C in the common area and the cafe closes at 4pm and it’s hard to hang out or meet people

+ Each bed has curtains that give a good sense of privacy. The bedroom, bathroom, and beds are clean. About 50 meters to the left of the hotel, there’s a good local restaurant with reasonable prices. The hotel is also close to a convenience store and a community mall.

- The only downside is that the curtains block the air-conditioning airflow, so it can get quite hot when they’re closed
