Sleep Sheep Phuket Hostel SHA

4.2(102 reviews)

Situated in the heart of Phuket Old Town on Thanon Talang, Sleep Sheep Phuket Hostel SHA occupies a convenient base for travellers looking to explore the area's Sino-Portuguese architecture, local markets, and nearby cafes. The hostel offers both dormitory and private room options, and includes a free continental breakfast, along with an on-site cafe and communal area that some guests have found to be one of the more enjoyable aspects of the property.

Rooms vary in quality, and prospective guests should be aware of some limitations flagged by visitors. Certain private rooms have no windows and rely entirely on air conditioning for ventilation. Dormitory beds currently lack privacy curtains, and lockers, while available in some rooms, have been noted as absent in others depending on the booking. Some guests have also reported additional charges for services and a mixed experience with staff, so it is worth clarifying inclusions and policies before arrival.

Reception hours run from 08:00 to 20:00 every day of the week, which means late arrivals will need to arrange check-in in advance. The hostel carries the SHA (Safety and Health Administration) certification, indicating adherence to Thai health and hygiene standards. Travellers who prioritise location and value over amenities may find this a workable option for a short stay, but those seeking a more comfortable or fully equipped hostel experience are advised to review the latest booking details carefully before confirming.

Reviews from Google

The check-in went smoothly, the communication worked very well in advance via Whatsapp. We had a double room on the second floor. Unfortunately, the room had no window and so we were 100% dependent on the AC. The whole house is very quiet and the sliding doors keep out very little noise. Especially if you are looking for a good night's sleep, you should take Oropax with you. All in all, I would still recommend the Sleep Sheep Hostel as a starting point for Phuket Town, as you can walk to the old town in 5-10 minutes.

I normally don’t leave bad reviews, but I decided that I have to after the bad treatment received from all staff at Sleep Sheep Hostel. I feel like I need to leave this as a proof for the future guests - since the owner WASN’T HONEST on the reply to my sister earlier today. On the sign that they have in multiple places along the property, it’s clearly stating that they charge THB100 per hour, starting from 11:30am. When we went to check out a few minutes before 12:30 (hence less than 1 - ONE hour later), the hostel tried to charge us THB200, which would be equivalent to 2 - TWO hours later. I am still trying to understand their math calculations and in which world it would be correct to try to charge us THB200. Would also like to clarify that, differently from what was said by the hostel owner, they were unfriendly from beginning to end, giving the stinky eye and rolling eyes even before we said we don’t agree to pay the THB200. The properly was clean, but it was misleading since the bathroom doesn’t match which what was announced on Booking.com. The bathroom in the photos had shower separate from toilet and the one in the room had the toilet very close next to the shower and the shower had NO curtains, so everything got wet! It was awful for 4 people showering and we would not have chosen this place if it had provided CORRECT photos. A hostel is also expected to provide sheets in all beds, instead NO sheets were provided

Complete lack of any amenities. Everything looked much better in the booking. There are no lockers. There's nowhere to dry things, nowhere to iron things. They ask for extra money for everything. There's a terrible smell on the floors, I won't say what. the administrator does not know any languages.
