The capsule dormitories are very comfortable with plenty of space, there is a safe.There is plenty of space to read or drink tea.The pool could be nice if there was a ladder to get back up!! It's not easy to get out of the water.

Very well placed in old Phuket and a stone's throw from a night market.Lots of restaurants for Europeans, if you want to eat local in boui boui it's complicated.The 'capsule' rooms are spacious and comfortable. With small safes.The swimming pool is a plus except that there is no ladder to climb back up, I'm not very flexible, I thought I would never be able to get out, that's a real shame and maybe it's for that he has no one.Kitchen, water, coffee, tea available.

Many things to say ! For starters, the hostel is extremely well-situated. It is 30 steps away from the night market, and is in the center surrounded with many bars, restaurants, 7-11, and diverse shops (tatoos, massages, etc). For the rooms, they're well-equipped with sockets, two bathrooms, and a toilet. The bed capsules include a safe, a light, two sockets (mine didn't work, unlucky), and an opaque dark blind for privacy. The bed sheets were cleaned daily, and so has it been for the towels, replaced daily. For the swimming pool, I felt like it was either useless or ill-advertised as it looks huge and deep on the pictures, but in reality it's just a meter deep soooo, don't expect to swim or exercise altogether. It's enjoyable for sure, but not completely usable, especially when there's other people in it. Ultimately, there's a laundry service sharing a common wall with the hostel (extremely convenient), and the hall includes a comfy sofa, and a fridge with (paid) drinks. The staff is kind and helpful, and the common kitchen has all one can imagine. Extra point : The WIFI works surprisingly well !! All in all, a calm, affordable, and well-situated place to stay in Phuket Old TownTo all the people interested in moving further : This hostel is 20-35 mins away from the beaches on the west coast, and Patong. It's ~300 THB one way using a motorcycle taxi

The place to stay is quite convenient to travel to. The mattress is good. Stayed in a room on the ground floor, the bathroom smelled so pungent that it spread into the bedroom. Suggestions for improving the pipe smell The residual smell of urine comes up from the pipe and you should change the mothballs in the bathroom to something else because the smell stings your nose and disturbs your sleep. I slept all night and didn't really want to use the bathroom in the bedroom. As for the upstairs bathroom, there are no problems with sleeping friends. Overall, it's satisfactory. I would like to adjust the smell of the downstairs bathroom. and shared bathrooms, especially on the ground floor
