Early checking in without problems. Staff is helpful, especially with the laundry.
Location is at a busy road and the windows are thin, better bring ear plugs.

Everything about this hostel is really good. Perfect and spacious rooms with comfortable beds and great facilities. The staff were also very nice and helpful and are around from the morning till late evening. The bathrooms are also clean and well maintained by staff. The pool is also a nice touch, as well as it being in a very nice location in the old town. Great value for money! (Also this is a great place to stay for vegans/vegetarians as there are plenty of restaurants nearby!)
Only complaint about this stay was that the bed could get quite hot when the curtains are drawn as the air con might not be able to get through. Everything else was perfect

The hostel is located in old Town phuket and is within walking distance of all the major walking streets. We arrived before check-in and were able to leave our bags there until 3pm. The hostel has a very homey feel, with coffee/tea/water available in the kitchen area. Note that shoes are not allowed past the lobby anywhere in the hostel. Overall, this was one of the best hostel experiences - towels and basic toiletries (shampoo, soap, q-tips) were available, as well as daily housekeeping services. They also provide towels for the pool (or any daytrips to the beaches).
The windows on the street do not block out any street noise- although our windows were closed, we could hear cars passing by at regular volume. Fortunately, we were too tired in the evenings and this did not impact our sleep.

The accommodation is great to go downtown, if you want to see some sights or beaches you need around 30 minutes by car/scooter to get there (depending on the traffic). The room is clean, you get towels as well. The pool is a bit small but nice.
Most staff members didn't speak English well, they were able to do the check-in but weren't able to talk to you further if you had questions like where to find sth. They tried to help nevertheless and used the Google translator for it

Clean room with good sized bed and bathroom. Nice to have the pool on the roof that is open until 7pm so we got to watch the sun set in the pool
No window in the bedroom meant it was very dark as soon as the lights were off. There was a door to a shared balcony and our next door neighbour used it to smoke which made our room smell of cigarettes

Fast check in, the girl at the reception was really friendly and helpful. Nice and comfortable room - each bed has a curtain that gives good privacy. Comfortable mattress, with electric plug and a small safe inside the capsule. The mixed dorm had private bathroom, both for female/male. The pool is a bit small if you want to swim but it was great to take a bath on the rooftop after a long day strolling around the city, and in the morning during sunrise. Great location in the old town.
I arrived while the staff was cleaning the room, I was a bit surprised that when making the bed, they lay the duvet and clean bed sheet on the floor.. (I get that it's tricky, there's not much space to do it but, still). The wall of my capsule was a bit disgusting, it looked like boogers stuck on it, hopefully it wasn't!

It was clean and the room was comfortable. The pool was beautiful, and it was a great place to socialize and make friends.
After checking out, I left my luggage at the hotel and went out, but I didn't feel safe because the luggage storage was just a place where anyone could take it without a key.

The room Superior was bigger, very nice and tidy Hovewer many strict rules occured as to take off all the shoes downstairs and in the kitchen no matter you live at the upper floor- this rule I saw the first time, as well the food and drinks were forbidden in the room.

Very nice hostel well located with laundry machines, coffee, swimming pool… very nice and helpful staff
The common area is open outside and it looked like it was smoker friendly, which is something disturbing for me - I don’t take my coffee with someone else’s cigarette, thanks.
