Set in Ban Lum Fuang, within 400 metres of Bang Tao Beach and 1.4 km of Pineapple Beach, Phuketnumnoi23 offers accommodation with a garden and free WiFi as well as free private parking for guests who drive. The property is around 2 km from Surin Beach, 10 km from Two Heroines Monument and 11 km from Wat Prathong. Jungceylon Shopping Center is 16 km away and Phuket Simon Cabaret is 17 km from the hostel.

The location is excellent: there are late-night bars, restaurants, cafes nearby, but at the same time it is quiet and you can hardly hear the road or music from the bars. The neighbors have a micro-laundry and local kitchen. 7-eleven in 5-6 minutes, to the sea 7-10 minutes walking slowly. Surin Beach can be reached in 20-25 minutes on foot. Breakfast is very cheap, but don't expect anything special. You can ask the owner to rent a bike, or walk along the street closest to the beach or the street leading to Surin and find it yourself in 5-10 minutes. AC works clean and well, this is important since the ceiling heats up quickly in the heat. The water drainage is slow in the bathroom, but otherwise it seems that this is the norm throughout Phuket, but there is no smell of sewerage or dampness in the bathroom, this is very, very important and good. Som (owner) is a cheerful and hospitable lady, you can contact her with any question. Between the two bungalows you will find a hose for watering the plants, so you can wash your feet off the sand before bringing it onto your veranda - we try to always keep it clean and therefore only asked Som to clean the room once 2-3 days. The bungalows are surrounded by beautiful small trees from the hosts' building and the hostel, so there is a sense of privacy. The owners have cute cats, one red fluffy one can come visit you :-) If you like to walk and lie around the surrounding beaches all day long or drive around Bangtao or even the entire island of Phuket, then this option is for you.

Located within a 5-minute walk to Kamala Beach, Baan Kamala Backpacker offers comfortable dormitory rooms. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the property. The hotel provides motorbike rental services.

It was much better than I expected. For the price, it was more than acceptable. I stayed in the single/double room. It was small. There was a balcony facing a street. I think the music played alll night, but i didn't hear it through the night. It's old. It's quaint!!! It's a good price for the location!!! The locks on the doors need to be upgraded. The sliding doors didn't lock. The outside safety door didn't lock. The staff were really good about maintaining a secure place. I have to admit that I don't worry too much about safety here. Keep alert...and enjoy. The sttaff went out of their way to help me get a mechanic to jump start my scooter. They were more than helpful!!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    The pool and it is really close to the beach and also the hostel is very cheap. I was really close to the Bangtao gym, I didn't go there, but there were many people at the hostel who were training there.

    The quality of the bunk beds was very good and the room was cleaned daily. There was also free breakfast and a great place to stay if you wanted to do Muay Thai - If you're not doing Muay Thai then be aware there is a good chance you will get some very stinky sweaty people in your room (Muay Thai creates a lot of sweat but I haven't marked the hostel down for this.

    host was amazing. locked my keycard in room and she came late in the evening to deliver a new one. Great location as away from busy areas. Scooter hire was easy and cheap just next door. Apartment was so clean and huge for what we needed. Fantastic. Self catering was easy if required. Pool areas and gym top.
