10/10 Excellent

We stayed for 5 nights and had a blast! The larger room we had was spotlessly cleaned everyday. The beach is nearby and there are loads of eateries, foot massage joints, currency exchange places, and family marts nearby. The staff put together some cool lobby activities like a pub crawl and movie night which set a really warm tone for the lobby. Hammock on the balcony was super chill! Loved it!

We loved this place, in a great location for the old town and Sunday night market. We stayed in a double room, had a free mini bar and nespresso style coffee machine with pods. There was free coffee and snacks / fruit available all day in the lounge area and the pool area was great. It’s a great price and the staff were really friendly and helpful. Easy to get to from Phuket airport - take the orange bus, 100bht each and just over an hour, it’s a two minute walk from the old town stop or bus...

Friends Hostel - Phuket Airport

Sa Khu

10/10 Excellent

Guy on the front desk was friendly and nice. Was my first ever stay in a hostel and it wasn’t all bad. Guests were respectful. Some chatty, some not. Most either just leaving or arriving being so close to the airport. Bus stop nearby to head into other areas. 7/11 across the road, beach 10/15 minutes walk away. Nice restaurants around. Would recommend for short stay simply because it isn’t the most social, but was very chilled, relaxed & pleasant vibe.
