Rooms was very nice, but the hostel was not social at all. Staff didn’t help either getting the people togheter. Location was nice tho, in the middle of old town.

Great bed, nice privacy curtains great location. However this is more of a nice place to sleep and not a hostel, zero social side to this place and no real space made for it. Pool looks much better in pics and staff is fine but nothing more.

Booked mainly to chill by the pool and hopefully meet some other travellers. All the furniture around the pool was broken, the pool itself wasn't particularly clean and the hostel had no atmosphere unfortunately. Room was nice enough and the showers/toilets were clean.

Quiet and chill hostel, great location near the night market in the centre of Old town Phuket. Comfy beds, fresh towels each day and clean beds rooms and bathroom. Multiple showers and toilet available and connected to a 24 hour laundrette so very easy to do laundry. Great place to stay with good AC and wifi.

Super nice hostel, stayed in a private room with shared bathroom. The whole hostel was so clean and staff were really friendly. However, this is definitely not a social hostel. We were there for 2 nights and no one was really up for a chat. That aside, super good hostel!

My initial stay at this hostel was the best possible experience. I was particularly impressed by the high standards of safety and cleanliness throughout the facility, including the bathrooms and rooms. The provision of fresh towels and new linens daily elevated the level of service considerably. This establishment outperforms many hotels and Airbnbs. I unequivocally recommend it and plan to book again.

This is not really a hostel, it’s more of a hotel with dorms. If you’re looking for a hostel vibe and experience this is not it. Cons No social atmosphere at all. Looks nicer in photos. Bathroom a bit dank due to no ventilation. %5 surcharge with credit card payment Pros Water and beer available(reasonable price) Fresh towel replaced every day Laundry mat attached to hostel. Hostel interior is nice Rooms are very dark and quiet (got great sleep) Good AC Good Location.

Its well situated in Phuket Old Town but the rooms do not look as nice as in the pictures (surprise). It's also not a good choice if you solo travel and want to meet people.

J’ai passé 3 nuits dans cet Hostel, il y a un service de ménage quotidien, juste après 22h c’est plus compliqué pour Check In car il faut appeler un numéro. Sinon les chambres sont sécurisés grâce à des clefs et entrée dans l’hostel grâce à un badge!

Great place for a good night's sleep in Phuket- not a party hostel by any means, or even super social but other guests & staff were nice. Beds were comfortable, had curtains/light/outlet/safe box and the rooms got very dark. The bathroom was very clean with showers seperate from toilets and hot water. The pool was fine for a quick dip. Communal kitchen area with free instant coffee and tea and filtered water!!

Really lovely place. Had my own capsule to myself where I could keep both my bags in also. Bathrooms were very clean and hotel standard bathrooms with male and female bathrooms too. Best hostel I have stayed at and would definitely stay again

C’est dommage qu’il n’y ait pas de portes de douche, c’est seulement des rideaux
