Guest Reviews
- jack (10/5): Great experience - Owners were lovely and very helpful. Awesome location and decent room
- Joel (3/5): - Location . Very helpful lady. Lots of info. No window. Extremely hot . Very dark.
Poor sleep on disappointment mattress .
- Bernd (2/5): Unfriendly and dirty. - The room was not cleaned at all. Floor and bath very, very dirty. Also the entire hotel and toilet.
The female owner was very unfriendly. Many many roules for us as customer direct at arrival.
Never experienced such unfriendly behaviour in Asia before.
- Вукмировић (8/5): Nice hygienic place in the centre for a very nice price. - Family run friendly staff! No windows.
- nicolo (10/5): - The hosts were very kind and helped me with suggestions.
- laisney (1/5): - Rien Ma pire nuit en trois mois en Thaïlande
Tentative de donner une cave pour chambre
Puis tentative de demande de paiement pour une seconde personne (chambre lit double +1 simple) devoir prendre rendez-vous pour la sortie attendre 20 minutes un deposit pour espérer que l’on s’en aille …
A un moment je me suis même dit c’est pas possible elle a appelé la police et combien ca va me coûter …
Partir fut … un soulagement
- Martin_HH (7/5): Simple guesthouse at good location - Location close to the old town.
Quiet area, apart from traffic noise.
Windows with mosquito net. The beds were covered with some kind of plastic, no proper sheets. Room was poorly eqipped and facing the street.
Check out time needs to be arranged the day before.
- Dora (2/5): - We checked out before the day was over, only parked our bags there for a few hours. Terrible room, dilapidated property. Staff was nice.
- Hirohisa (6/5): - バスターミナルからは10分ほどで、日曜日はナイトマーケットが真ん前であります。フロント営業は日中のみなので、チェックインやチェックアウトが朝か夜ならかなり不便。部屋は3階でしたが階段のみ、部屋は冷蔵庫はありません。シャワーの水圧が低めでした。
- Rivkah (9/5): Superb -
- Yvon (4/5): No comment - Bien placé dans phuket old town les chambres sont rudimentaires la première proposée était catastrophique ( pas de fenêtre) la seconde après supplément pas de bouilloire pas de frigo une couette de lit trop petite pour un couple .un lavabo ou l eau peineà couler. Sanitaires corrects les tenanciers sont très à l écoute et disposés à aider les touristes de façon efficace mais je pense qu ils ne réalisent pas qu une bouilloire ou un frigo pourraient améliorer le quotidien. Comme indiqué précédent messsge croiser un rat dans l escalier n est pas fait pour engager à revenir malgré trois chats et des couloirs très propres Aucun fruit dans les chambres est aussi très étonnant en affichage. Bref nous n y retournerons pas malgré de gentilles personnes
- Léna (10/5): - Friendly and helpful staff !
The room was clean and nice. AC working properly and hot water in bathroom.
Thank you
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Location location location.
Remember, this is a BUDGET alternative.
We had some coal under our bed (?) and a strange strange smell in the room...
Bring ear plugs! And make sure to have data/sim card as the reception is open limited times.
Bring cash for key deposit.
- Elaine (10/5): Quiet place by Old Town - Budget hotel with very pleasant and helpful owners. The weekly night market starts just outside the door!
- Caroline (9/5): Superb -
- María (1/5): Not recommended at all unless you have no choice if you go on a low budget - I liked nothing at all The bed was horrible (kind of made of plastic, it was not an actual mattress), uncomfortable, the blanket was tiny, the towels could not be smaller and thinner, there was only one roll of toilet paper for two people and the host was way too insistent.
We asked price for a taxi to the airport and we were forced to pay the full amount in advance in order to book it. We agreed to meet in the lobby to do the payment at a specified time and she would not keep texting throughout the day sending messages/reminders to make sure my friend and I would arrive on time to confirm the payment.
There were no minimum services such as hair dryer, little fridge or strongbox.
- Adam (10/5): Great value and location OLD TOWN - The owner spoke very good English and gave lots of advice of places in the area, even drew on a map for us. Was very helpful when we locked ourselves out also! 5⭐️ Shower needed tightening to the wall.
- Quigley (7/5): Good -
- Simon (10/5): Clean and Comfortable. - I only stayed one night but the room was clean and comfortable. The hosts were friendly and helpful with my onward travel plans. It's very well situated in central Phuket, particularly for the Sunday Night market. And also handy for the bus station if you're heading to the airport.
- Anson (1/5): Bad - Room was ok just the front lady was very rude and aggressive Property was clean
- Anton (10/5): Exceptional - I liked the hospitality of the owners who went above and beyond to help me and show me their beautiful country Nothing everything was perfect
- Carson (10/5): Very friendly staff. Very great location, amazing food nearby. - The owners were extremely friendly. They gave me many awesome recommendations and helped me book taxis and events. They also drew me a map of the surrounding areas to find good food. Awesome place to stay.
- Giorgio (3/5): That room was unrentable - The lady and her brother were super nice and helpful Room on budget but with a limit. The room had no windows and was small really small. It was impossible to breathe inside and the smell in the room was horrible
- Dan (7/5): Clean and friendly accommodation in old town, not close to airport or beach. - It was in the old town and I happened to arrive in time for the annual lunar new year festival on the street in front. The hosts were helpful. It was substantial distance from the airport and the beach.
- Nils (10/5): Exceptional -
- Studio (10/5): Exceptional -
- Alvin (10/5): My stay was made exceptional by the caring and supportive staff. - The staff members were absolutely amazing! While recovering from a recent accident in Thailand, they treated me like family, ensuring I ate well, slept comfortably, and even helped me find the best and most budget-friendly accommodations. Despite traveling alone, I never felt isolated during my recovery. Their cheerful support boosted my morale and undoubtedly contributed to my speedy recovery. N/A
- Nicole (9/5): Great location, great stay! - We absolutely loved our stay here. Bed was extremely comfortable and had everything you needed in the room.
Friendly staff and good check-in.
The room didn’t have windows which we liked as we have found some other rooms we have stayed in are too bright.
- Eugene (10/5): - Perfect stay. Thank you very much!
- Egor (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ashley (7/5): Your paying for the location - The best thing about In Phuket House is the location, it's perfect for exploring the town. We found the hosts to be very friendly and helpful. We stayed in the budget double room with no window, we found the room fine for a 2 night stay, yes it's basic but clean enough. The bed wasn't comfortable for me but that's been the case for many hotels in Thailand. I think the room is a little overpriced but your paying for the location.
- joshuakI3027CX (10/5): Very helpful and friendly staff, highly recommend for booking day trips and transport! - We visited the sightseeing shop multiple times during our visit to Phuket. The staff were extremely kind and also helped us find the best option for our travels. We first went to the shop to book a taxi across to Patong but they suggested we take the bus instead for just a fraction of the price. When booking taxis to the airport and events the staff called multiple taxi providers to find us the best price available. We did not stay in the accommodation so I cannot comment on the room condition but the reception area was set up well and was very clean. The shop is conveniently located on the road where the Sunday night market takes place in Phuket old town.
Thank you so much for your assistance during our time in Phuket😊
- Jennifer (4/5): Good in a pinch. - Friendly staff. The place was a bit run down, cockroaches in the room. Walking distance from everything in Phuket town, but I’d recommend staying in one of the hotels down the street instead. Overpriced for what it is. pinch if you have nowhere else to stay.
- Dana (10/5): Clean & simple - This is a very clean, simple place to stay. The owners are lovely, friendly, helpful people. The hotel is centrally located, just steps from the night market. I absolutely recommend staying here!
- Guillaume (10/5): Super logement - Logement très bien situé à phuket town. Proche de toutes commodités et au calme. La gérante est souriante et pleine de bonnes intentions.
Vous pouvez y aller les yeux fermés, c’est propre et pas cher.
- Craig (8/5): Clean and good location - Perfect location for exploring the Old Town. In and Jo were extremely friendly and provided a lot of suggestions of things to see and places to eat. We booked a tour through them and they were able to get us a good discount. Room was clean and spacious.
- aml31415926 (10/5): Wonderful visit with excellent hosts - I stayed at In Phuket House in July 2019 for 5 days. It was a great location, comfortable room, and the BEST MOST HELPFUL HOSTS!
The hotel is in an excellent location, right around the corner from the tourist authority, which is also very helpful with maps and information. It is a 1 min walk to the Trick Eye museum, and 2 min walk to down town. Everything was convenient and easily accessible.
In and Jo were the best possible hosts. They both speak excellent English. Unfortunately during my stay there was a monsoon, which made it impossible to do a lot of the outdoor activities I had planned. In and Jo were incredibly helpful at helping me to find alternative activities. They called multiple different cooking schools for me to help me find one that was a good fit, and made phone calls to various other activities multiple times to help me find the ones that were best suited to me.
In and Jo were incredibly attentive, In even showed me how to open mangosteens without making a mess :) Also, In was incredibly helpful at telling me where i could find vegetarian restaurants, and answering every question I could possibly come up with.
The room was much nicer and bigger than it appears in the photographs. Everything was clean and well organized. Unfortunately my room did not have a window which I would have liked.
I had a wonderful time during my stay, and we could happily go back. I highly recommend In Phuket House!
- Verified traveler (4/5): - チェックイン時、部屋の床に髪の毛がかなり落ちていた。清掃されていないと思う。
- Haiyun (8/5): Great value - Very friendly and helpful hotel staffs. They provided us a lot of good information and recommendations. Great location! So close to everything. Night markets, department store, convenience store, money exchange shop, and restaurants are all within 5 mins walk. The room was very basic and simple but it was good value.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Everything fine. They give you good information about restaurant and other place to visit around the hotel. Sell cheap boat ticket to Koh Phi Phi, with pick up at the hotel.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - We were literally only here for 12 hours in between a flight and a boat out to the islands. The man was very helpful, booked us ferry tickets and gave some tips for dinner and breakfast options. The room was very basic (no fridge, thin blanket and towels, no safe) but clean. A supermarket is across the park which is handy.
- 79_JLo (6/5): Fine Overnighter - We were literally only here for 12 hours in between a flight and a boat out to the islands. The man was very helpful, booked us ferry tickets and gave some tips for dinner and breakfast options. The room was very basic (no fridge, thin blanket and towels, no safe) but clean. Not as good as it looks on the pictures. A supermarket is across the park which is handy.
- 89APM (8/5): Good for a few nights! - Very clean rooms, also for pairs, with own bathroom!
But for staying a long time, eg for travelling through or just visit Phuket it is definitely a good and central place! Best price for what you get!
- ianmacd_12 (10/5): Excellent Guest House in great location - I exchanged messages with In who is the owner manager at In Phuket House and could see already before I visited that she was a great host. The Guest House is right on the main Thalang Road 3 minutes walk from the main gorgeous section. In recommended local sights and an excellent restaurant . Her brother also runs the place and was equally accommodating. The room was fine, the entire place super clean and attractive. I thoroughly recommend In Phuket House !!
- ingesO8113MJ (10/5): In Phuket House Super Welcome! - AMAZING! Jo and In from In Phuket Guesthouse are super helpful and friendly. It feels like I have been part of their family for the last 20 years.
Both speak English really well and are so easy to talk to. The room is absolutely beautiful, super clean and extremely comfortable.
In Phuket house is in walking distance to old Phuket Town, monkey hill, temples, coffee shops, restaurants, shopping and entertainment.
I loved being here and certainly will come back. Thanks In and Jo for such an amazing time!
- bernhard1983 (10/5): Excellent service - I needed a ticket for ferry from Phuket to Krabi and got a better price with pickup and transfer to next hotel than online without transfer.
The lady in the office completely arranged everything for me and could speak very good english.
After that she did recommend me what I can do with the rest of my day in Phuket by driving a rented scooter.
I could not have been happier with the service. Thank you a lot.
- tibor650 (10/5): Friendly, Honest, Helpfull - I have been there twice for booking a tour for the islands around Phuket. they can tell you the best spots for sunsets, the best places to go, she really knows what she is talking about, she wants to help and do everything for you and for a really attractive price, will definitely go there again if needed, was just perfect.
- winthropbarrett (10/5): Above and beyond helpfulness! - The owner and her brother went above and beyond to help me do some local shopping! They were also super helpful with all the tourist questions I had. So grateful! I would recommend this place to everyone!
- aimpasc0e (10/5): Lovely place, even lovelier hosts. - I booked the In Phuket guest house as a last minute plan, and as a solo female traveller in Thailand for the first time, I was slightly nervous.
I cannot express enough how welcoming and kind the hosts were. They provided so much info and enthusiasm for the area and this certainly enriched my visit to Thailand as a whole.
The room was very well equipped, spacious and clean - all at a brilliant price. Very good location with the town just down the road and tranquil park just next door. Very good public and private transport connections to both local areas and other parts of Thailand.
Cannot thank In Phuket enough for welcoming me to your wonderful country and amazing hospitality.
- Marcus (10/5): Phulet House - Very welcome place. The host was great and helpfull. Would come back when in Phuket town again for the value.
- lorenac484 (10/5): Booked a tour - If you're staying in phuket old town and you want to book a tour or a room. You should go there! The most friendly and helpfull people ever! The lady took her time to explain us everything in detail. Nothing was too much for her. I'd really go back there! The tour to surin was a top experience. Everything was planned really well. The taxi, boats, ... everything was on time. We had a great experience. Thank you!
- livinit-lovinit1 (8/5): decent place, good service - Hotel is decent. Clean, good for a night or two rest. Service was good. We arrived to the hotel at around 12:30am and the owner waited up for us, greeted us and got us all settled. The guest house is close to the pier which was nice as we were going to Phi Phi in the morning. We didn’t have much time to check out the area so in terms of things to do or places to eat, we didn’t check any of it out.
- sarahmadeleine (10/5): In & Jo are AMAZING - My friend and I were supposed to land at 1am, but our flight was delayed by two hours - In and Jo stayed up until almost 4 in the morning to welcome us and check us in. They also took care of our booking for a ferry to Koh Lanta that same day AND helped us book a four-island day trip from Koh Lanta - I don't know what we would have done (in our very jetlagged state, especially) without them! Highly recommend staying here!!!
- Jenny (6/5): In the Phuket house - Fick spendera en natt i Phuket pga missad färja. Beställde en natt i ”in the Phuket house” pga lågt pris. Det låg centralt med marknad runt hörnet som var kvällens nöje. Dock var det jättehård säng och en AC som gjorde rummet antingen iskallt eller varmt. Bra boende om man bara ska stanna en natt och vill lägga pengarna på något annat
- chrisbrummell (10/5): Clean and welcoming - A fantastic couple of nights at In Phuket House! The staff are really friendly, speak amazing English and are always on hand to offer advice on tours, restaurants and anything else you require. The rooms are spacious, well decorated, clean and comfortable. Overall a really positive experience and would definitely recommend to anyone staying in Phuket Town.
- travelleingangelxx (10/5): Great find! - We booked this place after reading all the amazing reviews and they were right! The hostel is lovely and spacious. Clean, quiet, conveniently placed in phuket town.
The hotel owners (brother and sister) go above and beyond to ensure you're aware of everything you can do around Phuket. They have lots of recommendations if you're stuck on where to eat or what to do for that day. Will definitely be back to see them both if I'm ever in phuket town again. :)
- 685niamhb (10/5): Fantastic stay - Lovely new hostel with beautiful rooms and extremely clean. Comfortable beds, it looks like it has only been decorated. It's in an ideal location beside the market (on a sunday), bars, restaurants and close to bus stop from airport and rest of island bus routes . Owners are more than helpful and gave great tips for the best place to eat. They are very kind and make sure you get the most out of your stay. Every restaurant they recommended had only the best food. They also gave loads of information on where to travel. It was definitely one of the nicest hostels we stayed in.
- k1527a (10/5): Lovely guesthouse - Me and my boyfriend really enjoyed our stay at this guesthouse. The owner was very friendly and helpful, giving us lots of tips and helping us book our airport bus. Good location in Phuket old town. Clean and comfortable room.
- jroyle99 (10/5): Clean, fresh and well located - I found "In Phuket House" to have comfortable new, clean, fresh rooms very reasonably priced. The hotel is very well situated close to restaurants, Indy market, walking street, Phuket Old Town and bus terminal 1 for the airport bus. The staff are lovely and very knowledgeable of the local area and surrounds and have a tourist information stand in the hotel foyer. I would definitely recommend this place.
- drwols (10/5): Friendly service - I passed by and enquired about booking a boat to Kho Phi Phi, In was very friendly and informative helping us book the tickets. She managed to get us a free transfer to the pier too which was helpful, as well as giving us a lot of information about travelling to Penang in Malaysia.
Didn't stay in the accommodation but In was very friendly and helpful, so I will surely consider staying here if I ever return to Phuket.
- X2403ZQgarym (8/5): Clean, safe and very friendly - Very near to Phuket Old Town and a 5-7 min walk from the last stop for the bus from the airport (taxis are extortionate). The price is very good for Phuket but as always you get what you pay for so don't expect a 5* hotel but a budget but new, spotless and friendly budget hotel. The rooms cool with good quiet air conditioning and a comfortable bed with the usual Thailand mattress. The Old Town is charming and its worth spending a day or so there, especially on Sundays when they have the market. There are good restaurants and street food very near by, plus a couple of great bars with live music just around the corner. The only negative is that you need a scooter as access to good beaches is not easy, but scooters are essential in my opinion anyway. On the other hand you can book excursions from the hotel, or if you want to base yourself away from the crowded expensive areas its great value. In and her brother Joe are exceptional hosts who go over and beyond the call of duty to help. Advice is freely given without undue pressure to sell excursions. Thanks In for all your help and great advice In and Joe.
