    WARNING: I had to check out of here after my first night as it was so hot I could not sleep! I'd recommend staying at the "Feel Good" hostel instead. More about that below... The facility: Pretty modern looking two showers and two toilets per floor (looks like 16 people max per floor) that are stocked with soap and shampoo,  toilet paper, and 4 electrical outlets by the sinks. Little public balcony with drying racks The towel they gave me had a little bit of rust stained onto it. There is a complimentary "breakfast" (toast, cookies, tea) from 8am - 10am that you have to make yourself. There were a couple of ants crawling on the condiments when I went to make mine. Larger lockers downstairs key fob security to get upstairs to the dorms 4 electrical outlets per coffee table downstairs free wifi with a different router in each room, but the connection is poor The dorm: NO AIR CONDITIONING In some dorms there is a fan but you must plug it in to your only power outlet, and it does not cool down the room enough. There is no air conditioning because the machine is broken. I asked the front desk and they just said "yeah, it's been like that for a long time" as if that's a good excuse... Fortunately I was able to get them to switch me to a room with an air conditioner that would turn on, but not until I insisted and gave them an extra 30 baht per night. They also didn't even turn it on until I walked up 3 flights of stairs, saw it was off, and walked back down to ask them to turn it on... And even after all that, the A/C in the room I stayed in was ineffective! It did not cool the room down at all! Maybe because it's a weak unit and there is a large gap between the door and the frame so there is no insulation? Either way I was awake until 4am because I was sweating in my bed... More about the room: All dorms are VERY tightly packed. Like walking into a bathroom stall. There is a tiny aisle and a wall of beds. There is no blanket - instead there is a large towel (in addition to the towel you get with the key deposit) There is also very little privacy as there is no sound proofing and the walls are frosted but the frosting is not very good - you can see through pretty easily. Each bed comes with a locker that has an internal locking mechanism so you don't need a personal lock and the room for storage is pretty good. About 3x2x2ft There is a tiny mirror and shelf in your bunk, and a curtain (in my dorm at least) The doors are also VERY sticky with their locks. After I woke up and made myself tea the first thing I did was look for a new hostel. When I came back to ask for an early checkout they refused to give me my money back (not even the 30 baht that I paid for the A/C which didn't work... I did get my key and towel deposit back but wow was that one of the worst hostels I've ever stayed at... I recommend staying somewhere else.

    Great place! The location is a bit far from the beach but you can rent scooters from them for a reasonable price. They keep your passport very safe. The bed is very comfy, the staff is lovely, the shower works well! The security is good too, with the stairs up to the dorms locked. Stayed here two nights and it was great. Bit cramped in the room is the big downside. You put your stuff in the security locker and luckily it fits your backpack. Very happy here and again, the staff is wonderful! So friendly!! And helpful.

    One of the nicest hostel that I’ve ever stayed at in Thailand! The ladies at the reception itself were also really friendly and very helpful! Place is also very chill as well and you can get drinks at a reasonable price too! Rooms for a night isn’t too expensive as well!

    Good budget place, staff was helpful with all our requests, the air con in the room was leaking but they quickly moved us to another room so they can fix it. The location of the hostel is great as it's close to the old town Phuket, bus station, restaurants, coffee shops, etc. It's definitely a plus to the hostel. Not giving 5 stars to it is because the room/toilets could be cleaner, during the 3 days we stayed, one of the toilets had been running out of paper for 2 days.

    This is a fantastic hostel. The location is perfect, in a great area of Old Town. As the dorms are capsule style, you feel like you have your own room. Each bunk had your own shelf, light, mirror, and outlet as well as a curtain at the end of the bed. The bathrooms are clean and never busy. The showers are the best hostel showers I have ever seen. I want to buy the rainfall showerhead for my place at home! The staff are so helpful and nice, and they have a dedicated wifi connection for every floor. There is a free breakfast every morning of 2 pieces of toast, 1 banana, cookies and tea/coffee. The only thing I didn't like is that my blanket was essentially an oversized towel and there are roosters next door that sing every morning at 4:30am.

    Stayed here for 3 nights, rented a scooter from the reception. Staff are very helpful and full of any information you need to know about phuket and the islands, offering ferry tickets and day tours etc. The box dorms are cool, very private, comfy and clean. Stayed in an A/C dorm which was nice and cool specillay on a night. Free light breakfast was good. Thank you for a pleasant stay 👍

    Box Poshtel, Its average in terms of look and feel, You may like their ambience of restaurant, But ventilation wise room had some problem and it felt bit cramped up, For bike rental and other service of restaurant is superior, Staff are friendly. Reccomended only for visit to dine and rental of bike not for stay.

    We stayed here for the nights, lovely staff, fast laundry service, soft breakfast is good, Wi-Fi works well in the room. We stayed in the 'super box' it was a nice room the only downside was the wall with the door is pretty much see through? So you feel like people can see through into your room.. although I don't think they can.. little bit strange. Wouldn't put me off staying again though, lovely place with lovely people.

    Cute little room. Aircon worked probably. Everything was clean and comfortable. Hot shower and free shampoo and body soap. Breakfast was really nice because you can eat as much as you want (Toast, Butter, Jam, Biscuits, Coffee, Tea). There was a big gap between the door and the wall so you could hear everything what's going on outside. It was pretty loud because the hostel is close to a big road but is in close to everything you can see in Phuket. It is okay for a couple of days!

    Nice place! Good price for money! Bus station is close, 10min walking. Many showers available, staff very friendly and helpful. The room was very hot, fan was free but air-conditioning fee was 50thb/person*night.

    Great hostel! Nice beds, excellent bathrooms. They make breakfast in the morning for free with your book (two slices of bread, one banana, two different jams, butter, tea and coffee). If you want to repeat bread and banana you can pay 10 BHT. They also sell beer and have a promotion (you buy 4 small beer and get one for free).
