Thoughtful decor made the place feel homey. Love that we removed our shoes so the upstairs was clean. Beds were super comfy with enough side space to place my items at night, and I appreciated the small coffee table and chairs within our dorm room itself. Po was also kind, friendly and helpful and I enjoyed chatting at the front desk!

Everything in the hostel makes you feel comfortable. There are multiple common areas where people can hang out and socialize, the location is perfect if you want to feel the vibe of Phuket Old Town. Loved the idea with no shoes inside the hostel, makes it more of a “like home” feeling. Koko, the owner, is great, he’s very helpful and all staff is friendly and smiley. You also have a variety of books to choose from in the lobby, if you need to chill ans read for a while. You should not miss this hostel if you’re in Phuket.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    The location was perfect .. a short walk to the main cool Old Town streets. The staff were helpful and courteous. The facilities were great including a pool, beer fridge, book swap, kitchen. I had a room to myself which was well equipped although the stairs up to the loft bed were very step .. needed to be very careful going up and down. A really good hostel catering for both backpacker and older traveller which I am one. Felt safe and comfortable there.

    We were arriving late into Phuket and so wanted somewhere cheap just to sleep the first night. Hop Inn was really well priced, felt safe and clean, and was in a good location so we could explore Old Town the next day. They provided bottled water, shampoo and body wash and the bed was clean and comfy. It was great for what we needed.
