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."

"They gave me a room without a window (it's interestingly worded as 'room potentially with a window' in their description), so if that's important to you, pay attention to it. Otherwise, everything is perfectly fine for a budget stay or just for a night. Since it was late December, hotel prices were very high, and this was a good option. It was a bit inconvenient that there was nowhere to dry swimsuits, but then again, that's common in many hotels. Downstairs, there's a billiards table, which is a nice option for a game. They let us check into the room a little earlier than the official check-in time, which was a pleasant surprise. They do require a deposit; I don't recall the exact amount, but we left our passports. The walk to the beach is approximately 15 minutes, but I can't be precise since we were using a scooter."
