About the Eco Hostel Phuket
Tucked away on Phangnga Road in the historic heart of Phuket's Old Town, this popular budget hostel offers a welcoming base for travelers wanting to explore the Sino-Portuguese architecture, local markets, and quieter side streets of the city – all within easy walking distance. The hostel is consistently praised for its cleanliness, friendly atmosphere, and attentive owners. The resident cat has become a minor celebrity among guests.
Accommodation options include shared rooms and private rooms, including a family room ideal for small groups or families traveling together. The private rooms have en-suite bathrooms and are equipped with practical amenities such as a kettle, refrigerator, and complimentary drinking water. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the property, and an on-site café provides added convenience. The atmosphere is relaxed and sociable without being noisy, making the accommodation a good choice for solo travelers and couples alike.
The reception and common areas are open daily from 7:00 AM to 11:00 PM. Travelers arriving later should contact the hostel directly in advance. Thanks to its central location in the old town, this hostel is particularly well-suited for those who want to explore Phuket beyond the beach resorts. Early booking is recommended, especially during the peak season between November and April, when demand for accommodation in Phuket increases significantly.

The hostel is really nice. We spent four nights in a triple room and were very happy with it. The room was spacious and equipped with amenities like a kettle, a refrigerator, and complimentary bottled water. While the beds weren't the most comfortable, we still slept well. The bathroom was large and modern with plenty of mirrors. The owner was very friendly, and the hostel is centrally located in Phuket.
A beautiful, cozy, and clean hostel right in the heart of Phuket's Old Town! Just a short walk from lovely buildings and markets that aren't overrun with tourists, and with an adorable, chubby cat! Highly recommended; we had a fantastic stay, the beds were super comfortable, and the bathroom was amazing!
This hostel is a real hidden gem! It's beautiful and the owner is fantastic. The room is clean and safe. Plus, there's a cute, chubby cat who's already waiting for your return.

Tips for visiting hotels and resorts
Compare the rates of online travel agencies and direct providers.
After finding a deal on Agoda or Booking.com, you should always check the hotel's own website as well. Many Thai hotels offer a best price guarantee or extras like free breakfast when booking directly.
Location is more important than the stars
A well-located 3-star hotel is often better than a remote 5-star resort. In Bangkok, proximity to a BTS or MRT station saves hours; on islands, proximity to the desired beach is crucial.
