All guest rooms at the hostel come with a seating area. All rooms have a coffee machine, a TV, a safety deposit box and free WiFi, while selected rooms also offer a balcony and some have city views. At OK Phuket each room includes bed linen and towels.

The OK Phuket is such a great place to stay! Central in Kata with all what you need around, but very quiet. The rooms have a nice size, the furniture is better than in most of other hotels in the same price range and there is a balcony. It is more you have a one room appartment for your own, than a simple single hotel room :-) The owners are super super friendly and help with all you need! I did not feel like staying in an hotel, but as at a friend house. I can highly recommand to stay in the OK Phuket, when you hit Kata beach.

I had an amazing time in Slumber . The staff was really helpful and friendly, even they checked me in earlier . I met a lot of nice people there , the vibe is super chill and fun . You never feel alone even if you travel solo . Good food, happy hour every night for drinks, cool dj every day. I would like to thank Anas and Gary, for being so friendly. I will go and check the other locations that they have in Thailand as well and for sure will come back to this location soon .

Great staff but the area isn’t great, and the bedsheets smelled as though they had not been dried properly after their last wash. It was pleasant enough though and served a purpose.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.

    This was one of the best hostels I stayed in throughout my 6 week trip. It had a good vibe and a sociable atmosphere but not a party place. I met lots of other travellers, which was lovely. If you were remote working it had plenty of space for laptops. The rooms were spacious with privacy curtains and you had a massive bag locker. The pool was lovely with plenty of space around it . Lots of areas to relax. Having a kitchen and a fridge was a great addition and the free toast and coffee for breakfast was basic but good to have.

    One of the best hostels I've ever stayed in. It felt like the layout and facilities were well thought through. The lockers, the stairs leading to the upper bunks, everything. Separate dressing room for females. Everything was so clean. Swimming pool, very nice communal areas. Free toast, jam and butter for breakfast.

    Firstly the dorms are awesome: great AC, really comfy beds, pretty well soundproofed. The toilets are frequently cleaned and I especially loved the showers. Communal area is really colourful and fun. Great location right in the heart of Kata. I think the price was so cheap cause it’s a relatively new place but dang, so so cheap compared to neighbouring hostels.
