Phuthara Hostel

Great rate for nice accommodation. Staff were great. Even though they don’t sprsk English well they used Google translate and we were all able to understand each other! Very helpful staff members.

Room was spacious, bathroom is also huge as well as the balcony. It is clean, with hot showers. Nothing fancy but has all you need to stay for a night or two in Phuket Town. They have parking space for motorbikes. Staff were friendly. Will definitely book again.

The receptionist were very willing to keep our luggages for the whole day when we were out for tourism.

Mostly the location was excellent, without a doubt. A 60minute airport shuttle bus ride from the Airport that cost 100 Thai bhat (from arrivals turn left the exit next D-Tac to walk to Domestic side of airport and through the domestic public terminal & you should find the shuttle at the back ---beware of taxi drivers saying "theres no bus" it's bright orange just look up it's picture) and I was literally at Puthara's door (Don't follow Google's instructions, as you exit Bus Terminal one, cross the street straight away and Putharas back door is directly opposite the wonder travel agent-Ree and washers for rent. The back door is helpful especially if you have luggage). The room was always clean, with aircon and hotwater with good pressure,also a fridge in the room. There's no safe but there's a lock draw in the room and I always felt safe. Also the balcony room was nice to have. Plus the lovely Gee at the front desk was always ready to help with my queries. But visit Ree for the best tour prices across the back door rather than use the pamphlets at reception. Excellent location to the piers and most "hotel pick up & drop offs" 7-Eleven close by and things are a tad cheaper in this area. As well as Sino-Portuguese and Chinatown is very close! Suggest motorbike taxis or scooter hire. All in all I'm satisfied. Ps.... Dine across the road in style at 154 & UnionPay cards can be used at all ATMs! Enjoy Guys!

Hmmm.... Well here is my experience. The room is clean but the walls could use fresh paint and the finishes are not the best on the furniture. I was also asked to pay a deposit, which they retained on account of the towel being "dirty"...however the towels I was given most days weren't flawlessly white. So I wondered if this a regular ruse by the owner to make an extra Buck. I was in a hurry and had no time to argue with the truly wonderful and helpful young lady Gee at the front desk.
