About the hostel “The Neighbors”

Located on Phangnga Road in the heart of Phuket Town, Neighbors Hostel offers budget-conscious travelers convenient and sociable accommodation away from the island's bustling coastal resorts. Its central location means restaurants, cafes, temples, markets, and bars are all within easy walking distance. A nearby bus station also allows for convenient day trips to Patong Beach and other destinations.

The hostel is particularly popular with solo travelers and backpackers, offering a friendly atmosphere that encourages interaction among guests. In addition to dorm rooms, private rooms are also available. Guests praise the air conditioning and the windows facing the street. An inexpensive laundromat on-site is another plus. The staff is known for its helpfulness, and the hostel is generally very clean. As with most hostels, the experience can vary depending on the room category, so it's advisable to read recent reviews before booking.

    I recently stayed at this hostel and I have to say, it was one of my best hostel experiences ever! It was clean, cozy, and had a great atmosphere. The staff were super friendly and helpful, and a special shout-out goes to Terry. She was incredibly kind and really went out of her way to make sure I had everything I needed. From giving me tips about the area to helping with my luggage, Terry was always there. Her warm and welcoming nature made me feel right at home. I highly recommend this hostel to anyone looking for comfortable and sociable accommodation. Terry's exceptional service truly made my stay unforgettable. I'll definitely be back! – Vaibhav Kasyap 😀

    Everything is wonderful, I'm very happy with my stay. I highly recommend this hostel to all solo travelers. It's located right in the city center, with restaurants, cafes, temples, bars, the market, and the bus station all very close by. The price is very reasonable, and you'll enjoy your stay there. The staff is very friendly. ❤️

    I slept terribly here. The pillow was so thick that I couldn't find a comfortable position and my neck was bent at a sharp angle. So I slept without it (which wasn't comfortable either). The room smelled musty when I arrived, and the smell only got worse during the night. The door squeaked loudly, so I woke up every time it was opened (and I wear earplugs). I woke up in the night with an itchy body, so I'm not sure if there are bed bugs here. My curtain rod was broken and hanging on by just one elastic band, so the curtain fell down every time I closed it. You absolutely need a sleep mask, as the curtains don't darken the room at all. Overall, it's not good. There's definitely room for improvement. There are also two toilets and two showers available for all guests, staff, and customers of the café. It was a bit strange when I was showering in the evening and suddenly there were a lot of strangers around me. The layout with the café downstairs and the hostel upstairs is a bit unusual. I'm familiar with this type of accommodation, but there's usually a common room for guests, which wasn't the case here. (I stayed in the women's dorm.)

    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.
