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. ...

Sleepy Station - Hostel

Karon

10/10 Excellent

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...

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.

Book a Bed Poshtel - Hostel

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...
