Neighbors Hostel

Phuket Town


Housed in a pale-yellow Sino-Portuguese-style building with a small cafe, this friendly, central, contemporary place has two simple, spotless, eight-bed mixed dorms, plus a six-bed women-only dorm, all with personal lockers, lights, plugs and curtains. The two small private rooms come with slightly more colour and character, and share the same open-brick, polished-concrete bathrooms.
