excellent location - still building

excellent hostel, they are still finishing it, so there are still some parts that need work.
the common area is very nice, big tv, great speakers, always a film going on, and if don't, you can either put one available yourself or buy one dvd on the street and bring it to the hostel.

air conditioning in the rooms kinda compensated for the lack of windows.

Convenient

We stayed for 5 nights in December 2012. It is still an up and coming hostel but once everything is finished this place will be great. The staff is very helpful and has a lot of convenient bookings available at the front desk for great prices. The lounge area is great- always playing great movies and its really easy to meet fellow travellers from all over the world. The bathrooms are super clean !!! Great water pressure in the showers, and the bedrooms are clean as well. Its in a very convenient location, although it is on a popular night life street so plan on getting to bed early ! Its a quick walk to the beach and there are great restaurants, bars, and shopping literally right downstairs. Overall a very ideal hostel, would definitely stay here again.

Amzing couple running this place and a good location

Me and my friend were recomended to stay at this hostel by some other friends who were staying there. It is newly opended and the rooms and shared bathroom are very clean and air con is always a bonus. Great location on Bangla road if you are there for a party and near all the bars, the beach and the mall, and the plus side the rooms were not noisy at night time. The best part about this hostel is the staff. The couple and staff that ran it would help you with anything, help you book things, have a chat with you and even put got friend dinner and put her to bed after a few too many. Its a shame we could only stand patong for 2 nights as we would have stayed longer if this hostel was in a different place in thailand. Thank you!

Awesome place, friendly staff!

I loved my stay here! The brand new facilities were awesome and really clean. Staff were really friendly and willing to help with everything as well as have a friendly chat! The hostel is in the perfect location. Less than a minutes walk to the beach and the vibrant nightlife experience of Bangla road is right outside the door! Also really close to the Junceylon shopping mall. Great place to meet other travellers. I'd definitely recommend this hostel for anyone wishing to visit Phuket! 10/10 :-D
