The hostel was really clean and they were helpful as well. Airconditioned rooms with a tv in the dorms was a plus and for the price it was perfect. About a 10 minute walk to the beach but not too far away from all the main things and close to the night food markets.

Only stayed here for one night, but the room and hostel overall were very clean. Beds were very comfortable and A/C worked well. The only downside is the beach is about a 10-15 minute walk. On the other hand the Jungcylon mall is only a couple minutes walk and there is a great local night food market on the same street. Would recommend :)

In terms of location, the hostel was a bit far away from the beach. However, the major problem was the bathroom. The water drained very slowly from the sink and the shower, often resulting in a flooded bathroom and an overflowing sink. It was quite unhygienic,

Fantastic. The staff led by Sean and Lek were amazingly helpful, kind, and knowledgeable ensuring that any questions regarding the area were answered, finding services beyond the hostel for guests, and making sure that guests were well informed on the area's norms. The entire facility is amazingly clean, lobby, dorms, washrooms. The dorm rooms are large each with bathroom, comfortable beds, secure lockers, tv, and air con. Close to market and shops and 5 minutes to the beach. AWESOME VALUE 10/10

2mins to daily night market, 5mins to JCY, 10mins to patong beach. pretty much quiet and safe. v caring and enthu owners - always checked if customers were fine, v willing to share more about phuket. v clean - toilets and dorms cleaned on a daily basis, beds and blankets v clean because i didnt feel any itch at all at night. towel provided too. BUT if your looking for a hip and trendy hostel, this is not one. it is just simple, clean, and functional, and it was more than enough for me :D

Really enjoyed staying at the hostel! It's away from all the hussel and bussel so you can get a great nights sleep. I had three of the best nights sleep here and loved the hostel. Very clean and lovely atmosphere. Good value for money also. One of my favourite hostels and I've been in a few :)

10 mns walk to the beach but close to Banzaan night, shops, travel agencies...in a vibrant street. Excellent choice for backpackers.

Most of the other comments are about the private rooms. The dorms are okay. Bunk beds a bit uncomfortable. Toliets and showers moderately clean, and they kept running out of toliet papers. Staff speaks no English. Location is good though, in a nice street just of Bangla and Jungceylin (5 min walk), but rather queiet for the area.

Everything was great. The only thing that could be improved is the addition of hot water in the private rooms.
