I had a fantastic experience staying at Ok Phuket Hostel! The location is perfect - it's conveniently situated in a great area, making it easy for us to explore Phuket. The hostel's bike rental service was a huge plus, as it allowed us to explore the island at our own pace. What truly made our stay memorable was the exceptionally friendly and helpful staff. They went above and beyond to ensure we had a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Overall, we highly recommend Ok Phuket Hostel to anyone looking for a welcoming, well-located place to stay in Phuket. It's an excellent choice for travelers who want to make the most of their time on this beautiful island.

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 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.

    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.
