About The Neighbors Hostel

Situated on Phangnga Road in the heart of Phuket Town, The Neighbors Hostel offers budget travelers a practical and sociable base away from the island's busier coastal resort strips. The central location puts guests within walking distance of local restaurants, cafes, temples, markets, and bars, while a nearby bus station makes day trips to Patong Beach and other destinations straightforward to organize.

The hostel appeals particularly to solo travelers and backpackers, with a friendly atmosphere that encourages guest interaction. Private rooms are available alongside shared options, with air conditioning and street-facing windows reported by guests. Affordable on-site laundry facilities add to the practical appeal. Staff have been noted for their helpfulness, and the property maintains a generally clean standard throughout. Like most hostels, the experience can vary depending on room allocation, so it is worth reading recent reviews before booking.

I recently stayed at this hostel and I have to say, it was one of the best hostel experiences I've ever had! The place was clean, cozy, and had a great atmosphere. The staff was super friendly and helpful, and I want to give a special shoutout to Terry. She was incredibly nice and went out of her way to make sure I had everything I needed. From giving me local tips to helping with my luggage, Terry was always on hand to assist. Her warm and welcoming nature made me feel right at home. I highly recommend this hostel to anyone looking for a comfortable and social place to stay. Terry's exceptional service really made my stay here unforgettable. I'll definitely be coming back! - Vaibhav Kasyap 😀

Everything is very nice I am very happy to stay there I am recommend everyone who solo travel this hostel is in town very easy to go to Restaurant, Cafe, Temple, Bar, Market and also near by Bus station The price is very cheap and you will enjoy to stay there. The staff is very nice. ❤️

I had the worst night sleep here. I could not get comfortable as the pillow was so thick and was bending my neck so much, so I slept without it (that was not comfortable). The room stank of damp when I got in and only got worse in the night. The door in the room makes a loud squeaky noise, so I was woken up every time it was opened (and I wear ear plugs). I woke up itchy all over in the night, so I’m not sure if they have bed bugs here. My curtain poll was broken and hanging on by an elastic band, so every time I drew the curtain across, it fall. You defo need an eye mask as well as the curtains in the room provide no darkness only the room. Overall, it’s not great. Some improvements to be made for sure. Not to mention that there’s 2 toilets and 2 showers which are available to all the guest, staff and customers of the cafe. So it was a bit of a weird set up when I had my evening shower and there was all these random people around me when I had got out the shower. It’s a bit of a weird set up with the cafe downstairs and the hostel upstairs. I’ve seen that done before, but they make a social place available for the guests too, but it didn’t have that here. (I stayed in the female dorm)

Tips for Visiting Hotels & Resorts

Compare OTAs and Direct Rates

Always check the hotel's own website after finding a rate on Agoda or Booking.com. Many Thai properties offer a best-rate guarantee or throw in perks like free breakfast when you book direct.

Location Matters More Than Stars

A well-located 3-star hotel often beats a remote 5-star resort. In Bangkok, staying near a BTS or MRT station saves hours; on islands, proximity to the beach you actually want matters most.
