Don’t book this hostel, it’s full of bedbugs. Overall, the hostel is quite dirty. The owners are friendly though, but don’t really care about the bedbug infestation.

I like the fact that it's a hostel and an independent bookstore in the same place. The atmosphere is very friendly, and coffee is available all the time. Can use kitchen utensils and must clean them properly. You can put your personal items in the refrigerator with your name written on them. The atmosphere in the room is neutral. The bathroom is quite wet all the time. Very good location.

Very nice. Unfortunately the toilet is one floor below. And there was a bed bug in my bed. Otherwise great location.

I loved the chill vibe and felt insanely super comfortable in the Hostel. It's clean and for anyone who wants to stay cheap in Phuket, it has the perfect location being in Old Town. Basically I can't complain about anything and would love to come back one day! Thank You

I really liked this hostel! I stayed for 2 days and was given a towel. The room has large drawers with locks where you can put your backpack. The air conditioning in the room is always on, the temperature is comfortable. There are common areas with fans. There is a kitchen where you can drink tea or coffee and prepare food. In general, everything you need is there. I felt very comfortable and good in this hostel. The only negative is that you can hear the noise of the road nearby. But I have earplugs, so it didn't bother me.

The hostel was very clean and felt nice and secure. My friends and I had a private room which was very clean and had nice soft bedding, nicer than the stuff I have at home. The toilet again was very clean.It has a nice relaxation area and a kitchen which you can use if you so want. There are also loads of books to borrow and read.The washing service was exceptional; 60baht per kilo for your clothes to be washed dryer and folded. They were all crease free which makes me think they were ironed but I’m not sure about that.If I came back to old town I would come back here. I highly recommend it as everything there was wonderful.

Very loud noise from the road!!!In general, the hostel is already tired, but that's not a big deal. But the noise is terrible!

We had an excellent stay here. The hostel owner was very friendly and helpful. The room was lovely and very clean. There were plenty of showers/toilets for the number of people staying. The hostel is beautifully designed, very colourful which was fun. There is a small kitchen available for cooking which was nice. I would recommend!

Be careful! Just because it has a good rating doesn't mean it's good. Avoid this hostel entirely. We don’t understand why it has a good rating when the staff doesn’t speak English at all or at least attempt to communicate. We had to rely on Google Translate, but it doesn’t support Thai either. We've stayed in many hostels in Thailand and have never encountered a situation like this. The beds are connected, which means if someone moves in another bed, you'll feel it in yours as well. It’s close to the street and noisy as hell. Dirty, messy, and I can continue. This place maybe was good a long time ago.

Brilliant hostel. Amazing and friendly staff. Great location. Clean. Cheap laundry. Loved my stay here. Was cooking in the kitchen every day, buying fresh fruit and veg from the market behind the hostel.

We stayed here for 2 nights. Its location is good as it is close to many shops, restaurants and bars. It is far from the heavily touristy areas like patong but there is a bus 5 minute walk away which costs 40 baht. …
