good hotel, good service, close to interested places in phuket. just 3 minutes walk to juncelyon mall, 5 minutes to banglaroad and 7 minutes to patong beach.there so many restaurants near and around the hostel, the hostel itself provides a simple breakfast. the bathroom was large and clean, the bed was big and the hotel staff was very helpfull .and if you want tour with a good price, try the travel down the street. it's more cheap than tour that offered by the hotel

Superb hostel, I would definitely stay again! My friend and I made friends right away, the staff is very helpful, excellent location, comfortable and spacious rooms. I really liked the layout because we never had to climb into a top bunk. Large cabinets are available for each bed but it would have been nice if they had a latch for a lock, instead they provide small lockers and keys for a deposit.

Good hostel, one of the best on which I have been. You are doing good guys, keep it on! Only observation were the computers that the hostel provides, they need some maintenance, quite slow and clean the mouse also.

Bodega! It was fun! It was nice to be down a side street away from all the chaos of Phuket! The staff were cool, really nice to get to know them, helpful and they did tattoos! Shower and toilet was in my room and they were really nice and clean, rooms were cleaned daily. The beds were undoubtedly the worst beds i have ever come across in a hostel, really uncomfortable and they made the loudest noises when moving around! Also a fridge in the 'Chill' area would have been massively appreciated!

We stayed in a private double which is across the road from reception, we were on the 3rd floor (no lift - not a problem for us).Bed was comfy, air con and fan worked well. Maid service each day. No bottled water available in the room. Wifi available in the rooms. Staff were great, booked our trip and taxi for us. Bar was always busy although we did not use, great if you are a solo traveller. Great location, plenty of bars and restaurants nearby, you are approx 5 min walk to Bangla Road.

I really enjoyed my stay at Bodega. Clean, in a good location and most importantly very social. Probably doesn't deserve the award for one of the best Hostels in the world, but surely the nr. 1 Hostel on Phuket.

Very helpful and friendly staff. The location is another major strength as the shopping center is nearby. A variety of food shops and restaurants is available within walking distances and on your exploration capability. Generally, the food price is comparable or higher than Bangkok. Hints & Tips: For cheaper, local dishes, you may go to Bansan Fresh Market in the evening.
