Phuket Hostels

"We couldn’t recommend Lub Sbuy Hostel more! The price of great. We booked the private double bed room with balcony. The hostel felt more like a hotel with a nice common area for people to sit in on the ground floor. They also give free coffee between 6:30-11:30am. This was on of the best sleeps I have had, great beds & quiet. The shower/bathroom is great with shampoo + soap provided. The hostel was super clean & the staff were lovely. The location is ideal - a 15 minute walk to old town, a quiet area, a 7/11 a minute walk away, great food places near."

"- Host allowed for early checkin - Room was cleaned with the required ammenities - Right next to the airport. Therefore, extremely good for early/late flights"

"True to the photos. A small 'plus' would be a coffee corner and some dividing curtains. They are very responsive if you ask a question."

"This was my return visit to this hostel, and I must say I was dissppointed. Last time, on another platform, I gave it an 8/10 rating, but now I think I was too generous. Besides smiling, but not good English-speaking staff (and smile doesnt always solve problems like an informed action), and affordable price, it was hard to find all those benefits I thought this hostel had. Hot water dispenser wasnt working, but even cold drinking water wasnt accessible - i had to ask the staff 3 times for somebody to refill the machine. But the next morning empty again - there should be a system in place and not counting on guests for chasing down staff to fix it whenever the water tank is empty. I say chasing as there is rarely someone at the reception. They might be cleaning the rooms (good luck in finding them), but frankly rooms werent that clean. Floors were praying for mopping, dust in the bathroom fan wanted to leave too... there was even a clearly visible stain on my bed sheet upon checking in, but the staff replaced the sheet immediately (they could have spotted it when they were making the bed the first time maybe? Locker was not working, so the member of the staff had to use knife to make it work. The other storage place was also full of some crumble, i assume it is not on the cleaning list too often. AC in the room didnt seem to work properly. There was always a feeling of the temperature being too cold, whether the tehermostat was fixed at 18 or 25 degrees Celsius, you were freezing even undet the blanket. Privacy curtains are still transparent (?), and the doors of the room close loudly. Shower was more of a drizzle - the water pressure did not meet basic requirements. In the first shower, it wasnt even warm. I entered the second one, where the heater was working better, but you could not shower with water practically just dripping on you. All in all, there are other similarly priced hostels in Phuket that offer a better service."

"All good, I like the staffs, are so cooperative. just the guyz late night snores and gossips were disturbing from neighbour bed. There is a common flat table, a big aircon on top of the side, i was working on the table, siddenly the aircon started leaking, my laptop keyboard got wet badly, i thought it will not work. I was upset and quickly turned off laptop and dried by using my hair dryer and thank God it started working. Otherwise my travel can be so stressful."

"I love Maya, the receptionist. She was always eager to help out. Maya answered my questions with a smile and that really made me feel at home. There is a working area near the reception desk which became my base for a couple of days to write and read for school and work. The hostel is close to Karon Beach and the Karon Circle, where you can take the bus to the airport. It's about five to 10 minutes of walking. The hostel is within walking distance to the Temple Night Market, a 24-hour laundrymat, and at least two 7/11 stores. There are restaurants, fruit stands, massage centers, and even a clinic. The hostel has cats, by the way, so if you're allergic that might pose an issue for you. Otherwise, stay here. The hostel is well maintained and the owner does a good job in ensuring that guests get their money's worth."

"Great location"

"Room excellent as per picture shown. Good enough for solo backpacker. Shared toilet is clean. Aircond is very cold. I just stay a night, so it’s fine for me."

"This hostel is located next to a local bus stop to various beaches. There is a convenience store in front. The room is not very spacious and is rather damp due to lack of light and ventilation. The bathroom is not very good. There is a kitchen, refillable drinking water, and no parking. I couldn't sleep because I could hear people walking in and out of the room all the time."

"Good place in Phuket, centrally located, clean, bed comes with a locker, good WiFi, bathrooms are clean - they are not too private though as they are a part of a staircase (?), The stairs lead to those open spaces in which are located the cabins etc so if you want to go atop, you'll pass through those on each floor. The rooms are locked with a code password. There's a small buffet available with toast bread, jam, tea/coffee, crackers - nice for a tiny meal."
