Tips

  • The Memory at On On Hotel occupies the Phuket Town shophouse used as a filming location for The Beach, worth knowing if that's the draw.
  • Ai Phuket Hostel sits on Yaowarad Rd, one of Phuket Town's more photogenic streets, and is pitched as quieter than the other three.
  • Lub d Phuket Patong is the only one with a pool and kitchen listed, useful if you want hostel amenities over Old Town character.
  • Funky Fish Beach Hostel in Kata pulls a surf and yoga crowd specifically in low season, less so during the busier months.
  • Reserve a bed before arriving at any of these four — none of the hostel picks here list walk-in availability.
