RNR Hostel at Rick N Roll Music Cafe Reviews

The price for the 6 bed mixed dorm was not worth it, as all the people had to use a one toilet that was also shared among everyone who visited the bar. The room was INCREDIBLY small and only one person could stand on the floor at a time. Rick, the owner, is a cool guy who is helpful with good intentions. The try dive was great! We booked tours through them, but others on the same tours paid 200-400 baht less per person. This place has a cool environment, but the mixed bed room is not recommend.

These guys are great. Beer's not the cheapest, but it's in a great location, and the food is good. They keep it really clean, everyone is friendly and the beds are comfy. The rooms are a tad small, but really, I don't have too many complaints about this place. Thanks guys

This hostel was great, fun bar, great for meeting people and an awesome staff. If your female I would recommend staying in a girls dorm because otherwise your bathroom is shared with the public bar.

Great Hostel! The staff are warm and inviting. They are very helpful when it comes to booking trips and transportation. Compared to other hostels I've stayed in the 5 female dorm room felt like a hotel! The breakfast was amazing! Home cooked, and inexpensive! The only thing that I didn't like were the abundance of ants and mosquitoes! But I guess that's just what happens in a tropical climate.

I loved my stay at RNR, I made plenty of friends, including everyone in the staff and had a great time chilling out in Kata or partying in Karon/Patong. The magic happens in the lounge area = the open bar + dining room + living room where everybody hangs out, including the birds. If you show sign of interest in the PADI courses, they will hustle you until you go for it :D Of course I don't regret taking it. Ask for an extra dive if you stay long enough. I'll definitely come back!

It was a very relaxing stay. Definitely worth a visit for those that are looking to relax for a while during their holiday

Very good location - only 5 minuts away from a very good beach! Though are the rooms very tiny and the hostel was as well a bit tiny with only beds for around 15 people, so the atmosphere depends a lot on at which point you stay there. But if you're looking for a place to stay near the beach it's perfect!

Don't book tours with the hostel staff as they suggest very high prices (about twice the price necessary). The prices in the hostel in general are very high. You can get the same goods for much less just across the road. If you are going to the airport the staff will suggest a taxi and only on several requests book a bus for you.

Very well located hostel in stunning Kata Beach. Helpful staff with bar attached to be used as a staging point before hitting the Kata night life. Only drawback was that whilst the beds were large and comfortable, there was no space, nor air con in the dorm room. Still good value for money

I enjoyed my stay here but 2 things could have been improved on. 1- sheets were not changed in the 4 nights I was there so I was constantly sleeping on sand! 2- the wifi didn't work for the first 2 nights and wasn't great for the 2nd 2 so it would have been god to have a decent lap top or pc available to guests at all times.

I absolutly loved my stay at hostel. The staff were etremely friendly and helpful and I really felt at home. They were so much fun and also went above and beyond to help me when I fell ill. They are an amazing bunch of people and run a brilliant hostel. I would definitly stay again. The location is perfect also.:)

Amazing amazing people. You feel like you are staying with an amazing group of friends and family.

Enjoyed my stay here. The atmosphere facilitates meeting people. It was close by Kara beach and Rick organized trips to Patong's party street. It also doubles as a dive shop so they tried pushing that quite a bit when I first arrived. They have a great bar downstairs and the ladies that work the front are very nice and helpful. They will also cook you a great breakfast sandwich. I would stay again but not in Dorm D (no AC and crowded)

When I first arrived, I was very excited to find out that they are also a scuba resort. I ended up diving with them on a day trip and Joe , the staff instructor set up a live a board trip for me to the islands which was amazing. There seemed to be some confusion about my reservations when I returned, but Joe was quick to find me another place. Joe really made the whole experience there very worthwhile!!

Excellent little hostel. A great place to go if you want a nice relaxed stay interspersed with fun nights. Also be sure to ask about their dive trips. I would definitely stay here again.

This is an amicable place, well located in the heart of Kata which makes access to other parts of the island reasonably convenient. The rooms are well maintained and cleaned daily. I found the staff particularly friendly, always going out of their way to lend a helping hand. They weren't too pushy which is a common trait of tourist operators in Phuket. If you are after night life, maybe this isn't the place for you as it was reasonably quiet at night. I would definitely stay here again.

Great stay in RnR, met a lot of great people, with this friendly small-size packpackers. Kata is lively and RnR is in the middle of it. Cheers guys.

the location of the hostel is excellent. you can enjoy the moonlight at the beach before you sleep as it takes a few minutes to reach the beach from the hostel.

I mostly dealt with Nida during the day here and she is wonderful. Its people like her that make staying in hostels great! The entire staff is friendly and helpful, good food, good drinks, and comfy enough beds.

This hostel walked the line well between being a homey, comfy place, and a fun, party place. I loved the location near Kata beach. I liked it so much, in fact, that I actually wanted to return later in my trip to do a PADI certification, but unfortunately I couldn't quite make it fit into my schedule. :( Well, Thailand is worth a second visit, and so is RNR hostel, so hopefully I'll get that chance to return sometime in the near future.
