Phuket Backpacker

Overall:

"There is a good communal room with tv and internet access, and there are lots of day trips that can be booked through the hotel, jungle bungy recommended." — source Hostelworld

"I wouldn't recommend if you are travelling by yourself as it is too far away from the main beaches/clubs/pubs etc (especially given it's low session)." — source Hostelworld

"Great hostel, perfectly located for getting transport to the beaches, has a big screen tv and loads of DVDs, would recommend." — source Hostelworld

"The Town is a great place to stay in the Province - it's far better than Patong, one of the worst places I've ever been to." — source Hostelworld

"The TV room is definitely a great place to get to know others and be drowned into an endless conversation." — source Hostelworld

Clean:

"If you want to stay in Phuket town rather than the beaches this backpackers is extremely clean and friendly and has a great chilling out area with loads of DVDs and free fast internet." — source Hostelworld

"Clean room, but bathroom door needed fixing. Noisy water pump, people sitting late at outdoor tables near bedrooms and cleaning staff early-in the mornings." — source Hostelworld

"People seem to prefer staying at the hostel all day rather than go exploring and it's understandable - such a chilled out, clean, friendly place to stay." — source Hostelworld

"The place is nioe, clean and has an amazing selection of DVDs, which are great to watch but means there's less talking to other guests." — source Hostelworld

"The hostel was clean and the TV room was outstanding, but there were not very many restaurants in the area for dinner." — source Hostelworld

Service:

"Really friendly staff, it was very clean - massive selection of DVDS." — source Hostelworld

Location:

"AT night there are no buses to Patong and Kata (where all the bars are, because there is absolutely nothing in Phuket town) but if you feel like staying in there is an extensive DVD collection and some comfortable couches in the common area." — source Hostelworld

"located in a run-down, dirty area, we arrived, two girls, at night and were a bit freaked out but the hostel itself is v nice for the price." — source Hostelworld

"It has a central location in the city and a comfy livingroom (with a flatscreen and hundreds of movies) to chill out in at a rainy day." — source Hostelworld

"the living area was good with a HUGE selection of dvds to keep all entertained and the complimentary internet was great." — source Hostelworld

"- Very nice stuff - Organize you tours - Located in the city center - Takes some time to the beach." — source Hostelworld

"I moved to a single aircon room the next night which was much better but of course three times the price. I've had much better value for money elsewhere on my trip." — source Hostelworld

"Travelers seem to be obsessed with movies rather at the cost of meeting people here." — source Hostelworld

"Very good for the price we paid." — source Hostelworld

"Generally the hostel was fine, especially for the price. Very good value for money." — source Hostelworld

"Breakfast at additional cost was well worth the money-delicious." — source Hostelworld

"However, the noise from the lounge(people talking and watching movies) resonates to the dormitory room above. Also, beds in the 10-person ddormitory room that are nearer to the door could not get much of the air." — source Hostelworld

"But the dorms are really hot at night and the beds really squeaky, its cheap to upgrade to double room which has air con, dvd player and its huge you could easily fi t4 people into the room we had." — source Hostelworld

"The room leaked and flooded when it rains during my stay there. The staffs are very helpful to help out immediately and offered to refund for the room as compensation for that incident." — source Hostelworld

"the first night they had problems with water supply and it created a bad smell in the place and in our room. when we complained they moved us from a fan room to ac for no extra." — source Hostelworld
