Guest Reviews

• Thatpakorn (1/5): No staff available - would like to thank you for arranging the refund for my reservation (Booking.com no. 5804657097). I appreciate your assistance in resolving the financial aspect of this matter. However, I would like to express my dissatisfaction with the overall experience and handling of the situation. Being informed that my confirmed reservation could not be accommodated caused significant inconvenience and disruption to my travel plans. As a guest, I had relied on the confirmation and expected the reservation to be honored. While the refund has been processed, the situation reflects a lack of proper planning and communication from the hotel’s side. I believe this is an area that requires improvement to ensure future guests do not face similar issues. I hope you will take this feedback seriously and review your internal processes to prevent such occurrences in the future.

• Tapanee (10/5): Great place to stay in Phuket Town and quiet room:) - Great None

• Praewpan (10/5): -
• Regitze Chalmer (9/5): Would recommend any day - We loved our stay here. Old town is a great area to stay in when visiting Phuket. Owner was very sweet
• Bethan (8/5): Lovely old style hotel, very quiet little way out of town 20 mins walk but easy to find way - Good size room, separate toilet and shower, nice little cafe to get good coffee and food if you want it open until 6pm Air conditioning quite noisy, shower head loose unable to position it needs repair reported to staff so hopefully this will be done,
• Roberta (8/5): comfortable for a few days - Nice room, clean and comfortable. Nice lady at the reception. Immediately gave us a new room when the toilet didn’t work properly. A little noisy in the evenings due to the bars/ restaurants next door. Not sure about the value for the money compared to other places we stayed at in Thailand. Cafe/ breakfast a little pricey. Tried to help but couldn’t really help us organize our bus journey.
• Katalina (9/5): Nice - Comfortable place. Nice staff
• Muntasir (9/5): -
• Valerii (10/5): 9 з 10 - Брест хостел ай евер сіін Комфорт і зручності
• Valerii (10/5): Із хостелів це топ ціна/якість. Приємніше ніж в деяких готелях. - Найкраще місце туриста. Дуже охайно, – це найкращий хостел в якому я перебував. Сервіс приємний. Вкусна їжа та простора кімната з великим столом на 12 людей. Кава ще сподобалась. Мало місця в душі/туалеті.
• Alexandre (10/5): -
• Nakarnda (9/5): - very peaceful and comfy accommodation. I love the big balcony perfect for chilling at night. The staffs are helpful and nice. The bed are very comfortable
• Brenda fabiola (9/5): - The people tu Is beautiful. There were too many mosquitoes in my room, I ended up with my whole body stung
• carina (9/5): Un hôtel plein de charme - Merci à toute l'équipe d'avoir trouvé des solutions pour nous changer de chambre quand les wc ne fonctionnaient plus, car je sais que l'hôtel était complet...
• Eden (8/5): -
• Christina (8/5): Memorable stay - The hotel itself has a very nice atmosphere, nice people, and a great location! There is a nice cafe of the hotel (unfortunately closes at 6pm like most of the cafes) in Phuket downtown, and there are few nice bars, few great local dim sum places, and even a great jewelry shop and milk tea shop in the building! The room is amazing - with plenty of personal space ! There has been a real thinking in the design!! The only downside, is the long 'work desk' & living room that is not separated from the beds area. If it was separated it would be the ideal place for me to have an extended stay working remotely!

• Johanna (9/5): Une belle demeure et un confort très agréable après une visite de la vieille ville - L’emplacement et le confort. J’ai malencontreusement cassé une tasse qui m’a été facturée ce que je trouve dommage !
• Zhicai (10/5): Very nice hotel - The room is very big and the garden is beautiful.
• Estefano Miguel (10/5): Perfect - It’s a beautiful hostel, nice design, friendly staff and fabulous open-air gardens. Very close to local restaurants
• Deep (10/5): Best Dorm experience ever! - The vibe is so good and aesthetic it's like your dream hostel/home with all your friends, absolute bliss to spend days there There's Nothing I'd say I didn't like
• David (6/5): Overall a pleasant stay. - American breakfast , undercooked eggs. If you want an extra coffee it’s 80 baht ! Maybe a second choice for breakfast for Thai guests. Fish rice soup is usually the option.
• Lai (10/5): -
• Frank (10/5): Sehr empfehlenswert und wir kommen gerne wieder - Es ist ein kleines Guesthouse mit angeschlossenen Cafe und Restaurant. Sie ist zentral und ruhig gelegen, gemütlich und schön eingerichtet. Es ist sehr sauber und das Bett ist sehr bequem. -
• Will (4/5): Dissapointing stay as didn't feel looked after. - The building was absolutely beautiful. Incredible architecture and really felt like you were stepping back in time. The staff were not helpful at all. Both evenings when we came back to the hotel, our keycard didn't open the front door. So if it wasn't for the lovley nightguard, we would've been standing outside unable to get into our room. She had told me this had already been fixed, but hadn't been. We left the next day at 7:15am and there was no one to give us our 1000 THB deposit, so to avoid a 25% fee, we have to go back to collect it. I tried to call, but the phone was at the desk I was standing at, so unsure as to how I would've ever reached someone after hours if there was an emergency. I have also been speaking with people from the accomodation and it doesn't feel like a sincere attempt to try to rectify.
• Leonardo (6/5): -
• Aniket (10/5): -
• Joel (4/5): Schlaf schlecht möglich - Optisch schönes Zimmer Stellen Sie sich vor in 30 m Luftlinie befindet sich eine Rooftop-Bar, eine Bar mit Livemusik und eine vielbefahrene Straße und die Fenster sind so schlecht isoliert/alt, dass es sich anhört als hätte man die Fenster offen. Das war unsere Erfahrung im Piano-Zimmer. Dabei bezieht sich dies explizit auf das Zimmer mit Doppelbett mit dem Namen Piano bei welchem wir explizit kein Hostel sondern ein Hotel gebucht haben. Schon beim Check In machten wir die ersten schlechten Erfahrung da uns keine Einweisung bezüglich Zeiten der Rezeption/Zugang am Abend gegeben wurde. Dies musste uns der Security des Hostels ( der sehr nett war) nachts im Dunkeln zeigen. Der Geräuschpegel im Zimmer hat uns jede Erholung geraubt und machte es selbst mit Ohrstöpseln schwer zu schlafen und die Musik ging bis spät in die Nacht. Wir mussten uns dabei selbst behelfen und haben die riesigen Fugen im Schlafzimmerfenster mit Klopapier gestopft. Am zweiten Tag mussten wir nachfragen, ob eine tägliche Reinigung durchgeführt wird, was dort bejaht wurde. Dies wurde aber auch nicht konsequent durchgeführt. Durch die fehlende Badezimmertür und die Glastür kam sehr viel Licht ins Zimmer, was ausschlafen erneut erschwerte Alles in allem sehr enttäuschend. Durch die Geräuschkulisse konnte man das Hotel nicht genießen und hat lieber mehr Zeit draußen verbracht.
• Julie (7/5): Characterful heritage hotel but let down by poor customer service - Cute little boutique hotel within walking distance of the old town. Full of character, spacious rooms. I would have loved to have rated this hotel higher but am still waiting for my key card deposit to be returned which is really frustrating. Unfortunately we had an issue with the return of our key deposit (2000 baht). We'd notified the receptionist that we needed to check out at 07:00 to catch our flight and they'd confirmed they'd be there to return the deposit. They weren't (we waited 20 mins) and I'm still waiting for my deposit nearly a week later! I've emailed a payment link and also sent it via WhatsApp and have been told it will take 2/3 weeks which is frankly unacceptable. A shame as up until then the customer service had been excellent - the receptionist even helped us out by giving us ant powder when we had an infestation in our hire car! As an aside there is a comprehensive and quite comedy list of charges for damage/theft of anything from the room starting at a charge for breaking a toothbrush mug and going up to a hefty fee should you choose to steal the sofa (love to see that). Really odd and not the most welcoming of messaging! So, yes, regrettably I'm not scoring a 9 as the follow up customer service has been so very poor.
• Claire (5/5): Décevant. Endroit joli mais pas entretenu. - Proche du centre. Et le monsieur à l’accueil était très gentil. L’hygiène dans la chambre n’était pas terrible. Il y avait des larves de mites appelés mites porte-case dans les coins des murs. (Voir photos) L’immeuble doit être infesté car Ils nous ont changé de chambre mais le lendemain il y en avait d’autres. Le tapis au pied du lit était sale. (Voir photo). La Clim faisait du bruit. Notre carte pour rentrer le soir ne fonctionnait pas. C’est un gardien qui nous a ouvert. Lorsque j’en ai parlé le lendemain à l’accueil ils m’ont dit que la carte était censé fonctionner. Donc le problème n’a pas été résolu. Rapport qualité prix pas terrible. Je n’y retournerai pas.

• Apinya (7/5): - - We stayed there for 3 nights, but the room was cleaned only once. They provided only 3 bottles of drinking water, only one roll of tissue, and they collected the trash only once. Working hours is 09:00 - 18:00 cannot contact any staff or owner if not in their working hours. The noise in toilet is annoying.
• Garima (8/5): - It was a beautiful I mean seriously beautiful place with the vintage vibe and very nice staff The location is too far from everything
• Zsolt (8/5): -
• PARK (8/5): - 위치가 좋다
• Sébastien (10/5): Bon établissement - Le calme et la propreté Les murs intérieurs où on entendait beaucoup les dialogues thaïlandais qui parlaient très fort !
• Kumiko (7/5): - Gentileza dos funcionários Localização
• dorota (7/5): - Sniadanie wg mojego zyczenia:)obsluga bardzo wysoko oceniona przeze mnie, blisko targu, jedzenia ulicznego , ladne wyposazenie Nic, wszystko ok
• 박 (9/5): 전반적으로 만족한다. - 직원들 친절하고 대부분 만족하다. 올드타운시내와 가까워서 위치상 좋음 가장 아쉬운 것은 침대가 너무 푹신하여 불편하고 자고나면 허리가 매우 아프다
• Eugen (8/5): -
• CHRISTOPHER (7/5): Mostly great value for budget travelling - The property is very pretty and well maintained and this extends to the rooms. The air conditioning functions with no issue which is always good in Thailand. The bathroom is lovely and spacious. The room also contains a wardrobe with coat hangers which is great to dry out your damp clothes from snorkelling and other common island activities. We were asked to make a 1,000 BAHT cash deposit for the room key which is fine but we weren’t forewarned of this which was a little annoying and did cause some concern. The hot water is also less than wonderful it doesn’t really get any warmer than lukewarm but that’s not a big issue. There were also ants in the room and sometimes in the bed
• Georgia Eve (7/5): -
• Aston (10/5): -
• Andrew (7/5): Lovely Olld Building - Traditional hotel with unique rooms. Clean room and bathroom but a bit basic.. Lovely lounge area and fantastic coffee available. Staff pleasant and helpful. Good basic restaurant v close by. The room was very small, with a limited place for clothes and luggage. Its a long walk into the centre of phuket old town .

• rebeca (8/5): - El hotel es encantador.muy bonito. Las habitaciones grandes y limpias. Muy tranquilo. Bien situado para ir a old town Nada
• Misbah (4/5): Worst - Location There was no staff to attend us at night, place was creepy. Breakfast was not well prepared and didn’t have options even it was included in the stay. They were not prepared
• Ting Yi (9/5): Very good guesthouse with its own style - The interior design of the house is amazing and elegant. I love the staff's warm welcoming and etc. the noise from the toilet at night was a bit annoying
• Cem (10/5): Exceptional -
• Abby (9/5): Lovely stay with great service - The receptionist was really helpful, and went above and beyond for us. Lovely atmosphere of the cafe on the first floor. Garden was lovely and we had an amazing stay. There was also a great laundromat nearby. Totally on us but we didn’t realise the reception opened at 9am, make sure to arrange something beforehand if you have an early flight.
• Mateus (10/5): It's was soo good that I forgot I had to leave! - Super recommended! Pretty good location, fabulous staff and the dorm was just like it's in the pics. It's a really cool space, and comfortable. They have a nice café in the lobby and backyard (kind of a secret garden). Not applicable
• Andreas (9/5): nice stay - very nice stuff, very helpful, very good english. room is very aesthetic.
• Yoonho (9/5): Superb -
• Vathsala (9/5): The whole property was a piece of art! - The whole property was a piece of art. Calm vibe and the location is easy to access. There are several restaurants and 7/11 in walking distance. It would be great if the cafe accept the card payments.
• Marsha (7/5): Good -
• Bruce (9/5): Superb -
• Finbarr (8/5): Very good - Nice staff. Lovely atmosphere. Lovely building. Great character. Spotlessly clean. No breakfast. Given the price and that they have a cafeteria, there should have been one. A bit of a distance from where all the action is. Lovely hotel but unlikely to stay again given location & no breakfast.
• Jurga (9/5): Superb -
• Claus (9/5): Superb -
• Gleb (9/5): Go get that house of sound experience . Totally worth it ! - Great vibe! The place is really groovy. Authentic and stylish, with a nice hospitable people on reception and a cafe. close proximity to the old town. We really enjoyed sunsets at the common terrace , it was one of the most memorable moments of phuket old town. Everything was great . This house is perfect spot for active travellers . And if you consider checking in with a small children , think twice. Place is really loud on weekends . There is live music avenue at neighbour hood territory . The house vibrates with sound . And It’s called “house of sound” for a reason!. Up until later than midnight . Great music though! Also another thing were Masquitos . Be sure to grab something against those sneaky guys there are no Masquito nets on those gorgeous windows
• Joanna (9/5): Very good standard for a hostel. - Spacey door, with couch and armchairs. Quite big bed and personal space. Good standard. Check in is only at certain time. Would be helpful to have more information about local transportation, recommended trips and other useful tips (nearest atm and does and don”ts, and so) for the guests at the reception.
• Joanna (9/5): Superb -
• Huong (10/5): Great! - Great place to stay in Phuket. The room is really nice and have good attention to details. People are friendly and have good taste of culture and athentic <3 nothing
• Indhu (10/5): Exceptional -
• S. (10/5): Exceptional -
• Stephen (9/5): I'd definitely go back - Huge comfortable rooms (ours was the Piano) and really enjoyed walking downstairs into a music parlor cafe. Tons of character throughout, easy walk to Old Phuket main streets. Our stay was too short
• Ronak (7/5): Value for money - Dorms are very specious and clean. Good ambiance inside the room. Staff was very nice. 1 room has 10 dorms. There is only 2 toilet and Bathroom. 1 is only for female and other is for male. At least 2 toilet and bathroom are required for male and female section. Also there is no hostel staff at the night. Staff available between 8 AM-8 PM.
• Jovana (10/5): Exceptional -
• Raibati (10/5): A breath of fresh air! - Lovely staff! Awesome interior, very feng shui Nothing, it was perfect. I definitely will be back!
• David (10/5): Exceptional -
• Verified traveler (6/5): Badly let down by noisy bar next door - Very noisy neighbouring bar playing loud music on one side of the hotel every night until midnight or 1am. It's an old grand house that is losing a lot of quality and has been converted into a jumbled café full of stuff. The staff are very friendly and kind. The beds and linen are exceptionally comfortable. One of the showers needs a lot of maintenance.
• Miriam (8/5): Very good -
• Tobias (7/5): Good - Nice garden and house. Near to a market The staff had not a good english and was not very helpful. Even with simple things. If you are unlucky with your room, you will hear a the rooftop bar. But not too loud. Reception was only from 8-17 o'clock.
• Chayadol (6/5): so so - no bf, good location no table for work or for dinner time, pillow not comford
• Olha (10/5): Strongly recommend to visit - Amazing hotel… I stayed in a room Guitar. The hotel is a piece of art, so many places to admire. It’s located in a quite area, not far from the Old town. There are a lot of places to discover near the hotel, also 7eleven is in a walking distance.
• Bmthomas74 (9/5): Superb - Absolutely beautiful hotel with amazing architecture. The staff was superior in all ways. The room was clean and ready early for us. Short distance from Old Town. Nothing we didn't like. Everything was comfortable. It's a great value.
• Eileen (7/5): Good - Wasn't there long enough to really rate ot but cetainly good for our multiple family 1 night stay Nothing
• Nalinee (8/5): Very good -
• Sajan (8/5): Will return. Great hotel - The old heritage building and rooms
• Charlotte (10/5): Exceptional -
• Daniel (10/5): Exceptional -
• Catherine (8/5): we enjoyed it a lot and would choose this hotel again. would also recommend to friends. - The history of the building, the beautiful garden and the position. There were mosquitoes in the room when we arrived, but once sprayed by the staff, this improved a lot
• Diane (10/5): An oasis of peace in Phuket, best stay, 100% recommend - My favorite hotel in Thailand in a month of travel. An oasis in the city with a very nice and peaceful atmosphere, great design, super clean, calm. The staff is lovely and supported us with different questions we had. We tested both the Onyx cocktail bar and the breakfast coffee near by: both really amazed us by the quality of their offer. I would definitely recommend staying in sound gallery during your stay in Bangkok. nothing I didn’t like, everything was exceeding expectations
