Nonnee

Karon

10/10 Excellent

We stayed at the property in July 2019 for the first night of a 9 day trip to Phuket. We were expecting to move into another accommodation, but our kids liked being at Nonnee so much, we stayed almost our entire time in the area at the property. It was low season- and we had the property much to ourselves, but it was great. It's a short motorbike to Kata, Kata Noi or Karon beaches & the Kata Night Market. They even shuttled us many of the days. This is a modern property and kept very clean. ...

My first time at a hostel and it was amazing! The beds are enclosed with plywood, so you are in your own mini cubicle and have a very private feeling! No one is staring at you when you sleep lol. They had the A/C set to 23 degrees. Each room (mine slept 6 people) also has their own private bathroom. It has a western toilet, sink, and hot water shower. The beds are hard (typical in Thailand). The blanket was a nice, soft, medium weight; white blanket. There was also a full size pillow as...

Patong Beach

10/10 Excellent

This place was amazing. Definitely recommend for solo travelers. They do a lot a activities that help with meeting people. Side note I do not recommend using the travel/tour agents in the building, paid 3500 baht with "discount" ($101 usd) for a phi phi island tour that everyone else paid around 2000 bath ($58usd) and the ones who used tripvisor paid $45 usd. I respect their hustle but I'm looking out for my fellow travelers.

Talat Yai

10/10 Excellent

Quite possibly, the best hostel I’ve stayed in! The staff is so kind, helpful, and accommodating. From a pre-booking tour of the property to identifying the locations of various Sino-Portuguese buildings in the area - the staff was ready and willing to help. I stayed in a 4 bunk, female dorm. Our room had its own private bathroom with shower in addition to use of the other bathrooms. Bathroom was spotless and came with shampoo, soap, and adjustable water temperature. Huge bunk space (especially...

Here are the reasons: - It is very clean - The staffs are very helpful - Was able to do early check-in without any issue - Great wifi connection - No deposit for room key - The chef on the top floor is awesome and makes great food - Stayed in 4 bunk rooms and it was comfy but remember to bring your lock for the lockers - AC in the room was awesome - Roof top pool (it was clean!) - A lot of awesome people staying there -...

10/10 Excellent

The staff is so helpful in making sure you get settled in, and offering suggestions on how to get around. The breakfast spread is fresh fruit and toast which is helpful as well. Location is great and walkable to many bus stops, eateries, etc. The rooms were clean and nice, and each bed had it's own storage locker, outlets, and light. Felt like I had a room to myself! Laundry services were also available too although I didn't use them. The pool and hammocks were a great added bonus in case I...
