Som Guesthouse Reviews

I slept 2 nights a Som's Guesthouse and it was a really pleasant stay. Location is really good, close to the beach (5min walk), and not far from party places of Patong (10 min walk). Nice staff who helped us to book some boat trips and get advised us about what to see in Phuket

Friendly staff and clean room, it's all you need really!

Patong beach is a tourist trap. There are nicer beaches and nicer towns on Phuket. That said, if you're going to Patong, you should stay at this hostel. It's clean, very close to the beach, they give you complimentary drinking water and the owner and staff are truly exceptional. The owner is friendly and helpful and even drove us to the airport personally. His daughter is helpful too going above and beyond to accommodate requests and the rest of the staff gave us excellent reccomendations.

Pros: close to beach, bars and restaurants, dvd player and dvds to rent, nice staff Cons: none, apart from being in Phuket.

Hostel was good for the price paid. Mary is a nice lady and very helpful as well as the other staff at the hostel. Clean towels and a safe are provided. WiFi can be a bit slow at times.

Clean, simple, basic rooms. Slow WiFi. TV channels aren't clear. High priced for the quality of the guesthouse. 500 Baht key deposit is a bit much, but returned on checkout. Bottled water provided daily and clean towels.

The highlight is the location and attitude of the staff... the location is great as it is placed at the beginning of the street away from the noise but still close to the action while the staffs are very friendly and helpful.. the worst part is the smell in the bathroom...

Great location if you want to be close to the action in Patong, which is a very busy area, but worth seeing for a couple of nights. Can walk to everything...beach, bars, food, massage. Room was small but very clean. Decent bathroom and fridge. Wifi doesn't work in room, only in reception & on the front patio. Staff were friendly.

Worth its price. The room is very small, maybe 4m x 1.9 m. It's hard for a couple to prepare the luggage in such space. Many ants over the bed. Good and new air conditioner, clean bathroom. Mary, the staff, is very friendly and helpful with tours, ferry boat tickets and private car from airport. I booked two nights, but due to a 10 hours flight delay, I have to cancel the first night 30 hours before.They fortunately haven't charged me. Note: My camera mysteriously disappeared :-(.
