Hostels in Phuket Province, Thailand

This was my return visit to this hostel, and I must say I was dissppointed. Last time, on another platform, I gave it an 8/10 rating, but now I think I was too generous. Besides smiling, but not good English-speaking staff (and smile doesnt always solve problems like an informed action), and affordable price, it was hard to find all those benefits I thought this hostel had. Hot water dispenser wasnt working, but even cold drinking water wasnt accessible - i had to ask the staff 3 times for somebody to refill the machine. But the next morning empty again - there should be a system in place and not counting on guests for chasing down staff to fix it whenever the water tank is empty. I say chasing as there is rarely someone at the reception. They might be cleaning the rooms (good luck in finding them), but frankly rooms werent that clean. Floors were praying for mopping, dust in the bathroom fan wanted to leave too... there was even a clearly visible stain on my bed sheet upon checking in, but the staff replaced the sheet immediately (they could have spotted it when they were making the bed the first time maybe? Locker was not working, so the member of the staff had to use knife to make it work. The other storage place was also full of some crumble, i assume it is not on the cleaning list too often. AC in the room didnt seem to work properly. There was always a feeling of the temperature being too cold, whether the tehermostat was fixed at 18 or 25 degrees Celsius, you were freezing even undet the blanket. Privacy curtains are still transparent (?), and the doors of the room close loudly. Shower was more of a drizzle - the water pressure did not meet basic requirements. In the first shower, it wasnt even warm. I entered the second one, where the heater was working better, but you could not shower with water practically just dripping on you. All in all, there are other similarly priced hostels in Phuket that offer a better service.

Review of Boutique Guesthouse 99 Oldtown, Phuket Boutique Guesthouse 99 Oldtown is a fantastic choice for travelers looking for affordable yet stylish accommodation in the heart of Phuket Old Town. The location is perfect - close to charming cafes, vibrant street art, and night markets, making it ideal for exploring the area. The cleanliness of the property is impeccable, and the rooms offer amazing accommodation conditions with cozy, well-designed interiors. Considering the low price, it’s an incredible value for money. One small downside is the 500 THB deposit required at check-in, which is refundable but worth noting. Additionally, the soundproofing could be better, as noise from the hallway or nearby rooms can sometimes be heard. Despite these minor points, my stay was a great experience overall. If you’re looking for a clean, comfortable, and budget-friendly stay in Phuket Old Town, this guesthouse is a wonderful option!

Room excellent as per picture shown. Good enough for solo backpacker. Shared toilet is clean. Aircond is very cold. I just stay a night, so it’s fine for me.

Cosy place in the Old town Phuket) Everything is easy to reach and pool on the rooftop is cute add-on. Staff is friendly and helpful so you will be having good time there

Overall, it was decent and worth the price. However, as soon as my friend walked in, they noticed a peculiar smell in the room, especially in the bathroom, where it was quite strong – like a foul odor, perhaps from the drain? This room also didn't get as much natural light compared to others. And it was incredibly noisy at night, the noisiest night I've experienced. There's a shop next door that was playing music late into the night. No wonder they provide earplugs; it was genuinely loud, both from the air conditioning and that shop next door.

My first time staying at a deck dorm style.The manager was willing to come, and did check in for me in the middle of the night. Do the 200 Baht refundable deposit. Give me the towel. Informed me to the rule of no sandal/shoes at 2nd floor to maintain the floor kept clean. That is all you can see. Nice room, chill, no noise in the room, and other ”I am sleeping” rules. If you have an issue of not using sandals in the bathroom, then honestly you just need a hotel with a private room. Yeah, upper deck was scary. I dreamt of falling down 😪 Well, deck dorm style is not just for me. But a good experience here, and with 217 Baht (including tax) I paid, it is worth the money. This hotel provides breakfast too. Something I don't really expect 😁😁 They also give me a key gift over a checkout. For sure, I get my 200 Baht back.

Htoo Htoo the Burmese woman made the stay unpleasant and uncomfortable for myself and multiple other guests. @Owner, consider replacing this employee with a Thai person who has customer service skills. Promote someone in the group that comes in to cook breakfast and clean. Cleaning should be prioritized to a higher degree - the floors and bathrooms are cleaned once per day. There is black mold growing from standing water in the second floor bathroom. This place has potential to be great, but lack of management has it going downhill quick.

Great hostel, love the concept - Bearpacker incorporate theme from bear, so there's diff levels like panda, polar etc all bears.. even the faucet is bear shape (dang cute) 1. Staff is cool, Nong Saw Fay greeted me and was super nice 2. Location is 500-600m away from bangla street. No clubs near this hostel, hence very peaceful at night 3. Room is very clean with sizable locker, can fit my bag 4. Amenities on 4th or 5th floor is cool, with communal area, rooftop pool etc, just a place to chill Short stay there, but it was memorable

amazing place for anyone who wants to travel and meet people sometimes, the staff is always good usually the bathroom is really good but I think lately they change the caretaker or something I'm not sure but I think they're fixing everything and trying to maintain everything as much as possible is a very popular Hotel I totally recommend it for anyone it's an amazing stay , but guys pls stop wearing shoes into the rooms it's so dirty!! try to keep clean for others!

Traveling with family, we stayed here for three nights. The family room was very spacious. Even with an extra mattress for our child, we had plenty of room. What surprised me most was the vibrant local atmosphere—it felt like we were truly immersed in the community. Our kids loved the fruit stalls and ice cream shops right outside. The beach is about a 15-minute walk; we usually took a tuk-tuk during the day. The front desk communicated easily in our language and helped arrange tours and taxis. For families seeking practicality and great value, this is a fantastic choice.
