Phuket Hostels

"This place was surprisingly great! Honestly, the location isn't bad at all; it's not too far from the main tourist areas. Renting a motorbike is definitely the most convenient way to get around. There's a 7-Eleven right next to the hotel and a Tops daily across the street. Plenty of restaurants nearby too; the Khao Rang rice porridge was delicious. If you walk a bit, you'll find famous spots like Go Benz, Jok Samui, and Neung Nom Nua. If you have a car, it's not far to Chum Cha Market or Naka Weekend Market. Or, head down the hill and you'll find Frans x Thongsmith, Rommanee Alley, and Phuket Old Town easily. Speaking of the hotel itself, parking might be a bit of an issue for cars, but you can usually park along the roadside. The rooms have been newly renovated from the old hotel (Sino Inn). They're spacious, the air conditioning works perfectly, and the water pressure is strong. There's a big fridge, which is handy for storing things. The bed and pillows were soft, though the towels had a strong bleach smell. They don't provide many amenities apart from shampoo and shower cream, but for the price, it's fair. The balcony is wide and offers a view of Khao Rang hill. Overall, I'd give this place a 9/10, especially considering the price I paid."

"This was the best hotel we stayed at during our month-long journey around Phuket, Krabi, and the surrounding areas! Yes, it's a bit far from the center and tucked away in a cul-de-sac with no entertainment venues nearby – it's QUIET! And for Patong, that's an undeniable advantage!!! Our room was on the fifth floor, offering a magnificent view of the city! It felt like being on an observation deck. The room itself was spacious! Housekeeping came every single day without us even needing to ask. Fresh linens and towels daily! There's a small balcony behind the room for smoking. And a pool! We didn't try it, but it's there, which is nice. We really, really loved it! And the price... For three nights, it was an unprecedented bargain, 1500 per day. For later dates, it was already twice as expensive."

"If you can stay in a hotel, don't bother with an Airbnb. Airbnbs have too many rules. We paid over 400 baht a night, which isn't cheap. First, there's no elevator, so hauling luggage was a pain. Second, the cleaning wasn't great. The first time, they didn't even mop, and the second time, the bathroom floor wasn't mopped either. I think they only cleaned twice in total, though it was our fault for not leaving the card outside the door for cleaning. Cleaning is from 9 am to 4 pm, and you have to pay extra outside those hours. Later, when we stayed in a hotel in Bangkok for around 300 baht, the experience was much better. I'm definitely not staying in an Airbnb again. Even though it's close to Helen Beach, it's still about a 15-minute walk, so you still need a taxi. The taxi fare starts at around 200 or 250 baht. It's also a good 10-minute walk to the bus stop, and with luggage, you'd still need a taxi. Not good value for money, maybe I'm just too poor."
