Purr Hostel — Hotel in Ratsada

The day before arriving, the hostel contacted me to confirm arrival. When we arrived, We were warmly welcomed by Phii Ning. She is very friendly and witty. She helped us to rent a motorbike, also gave recommendations for the best beaches and food while in Phuket. In the morning, Phii Ning offers Thai (snack) food. When we checked out she had to get up very early and we were given a cute souvenir.

Let's talk about hostels! The location is very strategic, being at a fork in the road and parallel to Thalang Street. You don't even need to rent a motorbike, because this hostel is parallel to the streets of unique and famous spots. Then, it's not far from the 7-11, while to the Bus Terminal it takes less than 10 minutes by foot.

For one room there are 8 beds. There is a socket to charge the cellphone battery. Towels, blankets and pillows are provided. The mattress is quite soft and there are curtains. Each floor has a locker, but we didn't use it. You will not feel hot, because AC is work!

There are two washrooms and a toilet on each floor. There are also two sink/wastafels outside the room with two mirrors. You can also use a hairdryer. Always looks clean and organized.

On the first floor, there is a shared kitchen. The lobby is very comfortable and homey. For those of you who smoke, a place is provided on the hostel terrace.

We got a pretty affordable price for a few nights staying in...

I get hostels are communal and a bit of craic but lastnight was a pisstake by two self centred Australians who were too cheap to buy a private room to have sex so subjected the dorm to two hours of moaning and bed shaking. The room reeked of sex it was disgusting. Even when I got up numerous times and slammed the door and left the room that didn’t bother them one bit. When I came back in the smell made me want to vomit. ||||The owner was lovely and the hostel itself is nice however the place is totally unsupervised at night time. Wouldn’t recommend staying here due to this. I sent a message to the owner during the middle of the night asking her to move me to another room as there was no one at reception or in the building and had no answer. After another half an hour of lying there having to smell stink sex and listen to loud moans, I rang the owner twice and said I needed to be moved. She woke up after two calls and told me what room I could move to. As I packed my bags the two still kept going oblivious to everyone else in the room. The owner didn’t acknowledge it in the morning just ignored it.||||I have stayed in so many hostels on my travels and have never been subjected to something so rotten, the smell was vile. Would...

This is a nice hostel, just not my favourite. It’s in the middle of old town so it’s easy to walk around and explore. There’s a basic breakfast included in the price and you can use the washing machine to do your laundry for 40baht which is nice. ||The bathrooms were pretty clean but with alot of people using them all the time it might be better to give them an extra clean during the day.|They are located in the hallway so not very private to wash up and all with people walking up and down the stairs. ||The owners didn’t have alot of information about tours but I managed to book something through them anyways. |Not necessarily a bad thing but this wasn’t a social hostel at all, everyone was very to themselves. I didn’t mind personally but if you’re looking to meet people I’m not sure this is the place. Also found old town nice for 1 night but not for longer like I did, there’s just not enough to do and taxis in Phuket are expensive. |The blanket was a fleece plaid, really not a...
