About MT Friend Home & Hostel
Tucked away in a quiet alley off Phangnga Road in Phuket Town, MT Friend Home & Hostel owes its name to the genuine hospitality that sets it apart from typical budget accommodations. The staff go out of their way to help guests – from carrying luggage up and down stairs to daily room cleaning, a standard that even larger hotels don't always guarantee.
Guests can expect a comfortable and well-maintained room with complimentary amenities such as fresh towels, bottled water, and coffee. The friendly and relaxed atmosphere makes the hostel an ideal choice for solo travelers and couples. Despite its affordable price, the hostel consistently surprises first-time visitors with its high level of cleanliness and attention to detail.
The location is a practical advantage, as the nearest bus station – with connections to Phuket's beaches and the airport – is only about a five-minute walk away, while bars and restaurants are within a two-minute walk. The adjacent alleyway ensures a quiet stay and thus a more pleasant atmosphere than accommodations closer to the main roads. Bookings can be made directly through the property's online reservation system. Due to its good reputation and limited size, early booking is recommended, especially during the high season between November and April.

Quiet location, modern amenities, and a very reasonable price. 1. Just a five-minute walk to the bus station (for the beach or airport) and the night markets. Bars and restaurants are a two-minute walk away. The accommodation is located in a quiet alleyway, set back from the main road, right in the city center. Many nearby hotels are very noisy because they are located directly on the main road. Here, however, set back from the road, it is very quiet, which is why I chose this accommodation. 2. Very reasonable price, modern amenities, and a pleasant scent in the room. Even cleaner and quieter than more expensive hotels and hostels. The room always smells nice. There is hot water in the bathtub, new air conditioning, and good Wi-Fi. (Many more expensive hotels nearby offer very cold water in the bathtub, are not as clean, have an unpleasant smell from the air conditioning, or a poor Wi-Fi signal.) 3. Friendly hosts with good service. Hostels usually don't have elevators, but don't worry, the staff here are quick to respond and help you with your luggage. You can also contact them online. You can tell that the hosts put their heart and soul into this accommodation. The decoration with paintings and flowers is beautiful. The atmosphere here is so cozy, just as the name suggests.
A truly fantastic hotel! The service is first-class: we were on the fourth floor with two suitcases, and a staff member carried one for us! Such a gesture is not common in Thai hotels; it was truly exceptionally thoughtful. I am very grateful for that. There are complimentary bananas and coffee at breakfast, the room was large and nicely furnished, and the common area on the ground floor is also very cozy. The location is simply superb, very close to the old town, restaurants, and the bus station to the airport. I can wholeheartedly recommend this hotel!
Very friendly host! Nice room in a good location. We even got a fresh bottle of water and a new towel every day, even though it was just a budget hostel. Highly recommended!

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.
