If you want a clean roon for your stay, this is the location. Its clean. i value great honest and the overcharged me, so....i didnt like, but it just was a "genuine error" . i should be more comprehensive. Any way, have all that in mind before book.

Stayed here for 2 nights in the 10 bed mixed dorm. Typical dorm - bed comes with a fan which I found was good enough at night. Friendly owner who is very approachable. Best part about this place is the price (cheap for Phuket standards) and very close to the beaches (three beaches 5-15 minute walking, my favourite was Kata Noi)! If you want to explore, definitely recommend renting a scooter and you can hit up the other beaches. Hostel has some good cheap eats if you walk down the Patak Road.

Seriously... Phuket is not a city for a hostel... too much crazy people! it is tough to can sleep at night without waking up every 5 minutes with a new drunk person getting into the room... The place was cheap.. but there was way to much crazy people in my room!

Stayed 5 nights here and was made very welcome. Staff were friendly and Steve gave me some top advice on several occasions. Dorm was spacious, beds comfortable and lots of fans. free wifi and use of hostel comp. Free towels to use during your stay. Very clean and simple place to stay with a great location just mins from the beach. Handy guide book made up by the hostel of where to go/ what to see etc. Food was great and restaurant next door was fab. Lockers for every bed in the dorms. Thanks

Quite a lovely guesthouse! Steve is AWESOME! Very helpful and knows what he is talking about. It's only a 5 minute walk to the beach! And down the street, you can go to this a,axing resort and use their pools for 150baht the whole day! Definitely worth it if you need a day off of everything. Definitely coming back here!

Very good location only a block from the beach. Owner is an amazingly nice guy. He will help you book anything and gives very good recommendations. Had a very good time and met some really fun travelers.

it was a good place to stay. The free guide to the Big Buddah was a great day out. I really appreciated that. The only downside was the internet was down, but that was due to a fire somewhere else and was out of their control. The owner was working hard to resume the service. It was advertised as air con... but there was only fans (but you get your own for your bed).. We still enjoyed our time there

Can't fault this hostel. The location is fantastic - a 5 minute stroll to the beach - with lots of restaurants just around the corner. The staff are friendly and helpful and our room was serviced and bathroom cleaned every day. The owner, Steven was on hand to help us arrange an afternoon tour to take in the seashell museum (mum's idea, not mine) and negotiate with a driver and his manager Lek helped us book our onward travel to Koh Phi Phi.

Good hostel to start your vacation in Phuket and find your bearings. The internet connection was cut once a day when I was there but that's probably not the hostel's fault.

The location is great. It's literally only about a 5-10 min walk to the beach. There is tons of stuff within walking distance of the hostel: shops, grocery stores, restaurants, etc. The rooms were incredibly clean and they were cleaned everyday, which was awesome. The staff was also incredibly friendly. The owner is a great guy who is really helpful in helping you to find things to do around the area - tours etc. If I'm ever in Phuket again, I'll definitely stay here.

Great place, near the beach, not too far from Patong, (the happening place) and near resorts with pools and all of that. Friendly staff, decent breakfasts and great value. Another bargain.

Is this my 3rd or 4th stay here? As always, the Pineapple is safe, secure and welcoming. The dorm is a great place to meet other travellers. Inexpensive and well located. Highly recommended. Thanks to Lek and Steve for taking good care of me and my new friends. [Shopping tip: Family Mart across the road from the 7-Eleven is cheaper & quirkier, and the owner is friendlier than the 7-Eleven staff.]

The Pineapple Guesthouse was a wonderful place to stay. The dorm room and bathrooms were VERY clean. Steve and Lek are great, Steve gives great advice on things to see around Phuket and also can help with onward travel. We were traveling to Bangkok after we left Phuket and he gave us great advice on things to do there and more importantly which transportation to use. Thank you again for a such a wonderful stay!

My friends and I were very excited to find Pineapple online, and after looking through the photos we thought we had found a winner. We booked 5 nights online, but when we arrived we were very disapointed. Our room was upstairs across from the reception, and we had to walk through a storage closet to get there. The room was small, dark, and unfriendly. We just wanted a nice place to hang out after the beach, but would not have been able to relax here. Not cute, no character. We felt duped.

I only have brilliant things to say about Pineapple Guesthouse. I initially only booked a room here because it was one of the most affordable places with a twin room in the area, I wasn't expecting anything brilliant, but from moment saw the room I knew I had made a good choice! Steve and his family were very kind, helpful and welcoming, and the restaurant next door added the charm you don't find very often. It was a nice location close enough to whatever I needed! Thank You for everything!
