    We had a fantastic stay at this hotel in the old town. The staff was very friendly and welcoming, providing fast check-in even when we arrived late at night. The rooms were clean and comfortable, with comfy beds and curtains for privacy. We appreciated the daily cleaning and the availability of fresh water, coffee, and tea throughout the day. The hotel's location in the old town was great, with convenient access to transportation and parking facilities nearby.

    No complaints.

    Shared double bed dorms for couples

    We loved the shared double bed dorms, perfect for couples traveling together. It was great to have free drinking water available in the kitchen, along with tea/coffee and toast in the mornings. the attached laundrette was a bonus, making it convenient to do laundry.

    Felt spoilt, no complaints.

    Beautiful themed hostel with great facilities. Private room was spacious with sufficient amenities. - Convenient location near restaurants, museums, and bars.

    The television in the room was not working and there was no manual or TV guide. The hotel is located far away from the beach, only suitable if visiting Old Town Phuket.

    We had a fantastic stay at the hostel. the place was impeccably clean, and we especially loved the pods and the modern bathrooms. It was convenient to have a bathroom right off the dorm. the staff were friendly and helpful. the room itself was stylish and comfortable, and we enjoyed hanging out in the lobby area on the cozy sofa. the pool, although small, was a nice addition and provided a refreshing escape. the laundry facilities were also a great convenience. The location in the old town was amazing, and we highly recommend the vegan restaurant and coffee shop across the street. Cons: Nothing, everything was great! 😊.

    The hostel had a great location, close to many restaurants, bars, and museums. The rooftop pool was a nice feature, perfect for relaxing after a long day exploring the city. The rooms were spacious and clean, with comfortable beds and curtains for privacy. It was also convenient to have a kitchen where we could prepare our own meals.

    The WiFi in the rooms was spotty and unreliable, which was frustrating. We also noticed some smaller bugs in the rooms, which could become a bigger issue if not addressed properly.

    The value for money at this hostel was excellent, with a cute and cozy room that had all the necessary amenities. The location was amazing, with easy access to restaurants, museums, and bars. The staff were friendly and accommodating, and the rooftop pool was a great spot to relax.

    The morning meal could have been better with more options and a wider variety.

    I recently stayed at Borbaboom and had an amazing time! The staff were super friendly and the beds were incredibly comfortable. I had the best sleep of my entire trip there. The rooftop pool was a great place to relax, and the whole place was spotlessly clean. I also loved the convenient location and the fact that there was a shared kitchen and laundry facilities available. a unique and fantastic stay!

    I highly recommend this hotel.

    The rooms were really well looked after and clean, and the beds were made up to perfection. I was pleasantly surprised by the level of cleanliness in the hostel. the staff were also really accommodating and kind, especially when I asked to change rooms. I also enjoyed the rooftop pool, it was a nice place to relax and cool off.

    The wifi in the room was a bit spotty at times, which was slightly inconvenient. I also noticed some smaller bugs in the room, which could potentially become a problem if not properly addressed.

    Free Wi-Fi, awesome rooftop pool, helpful staff. They also have a communal kitchen, laundry facilities, and a bar. Loved chilling by the pool and exploring the area!

    Oh, and the airport was just too close for comfort. I'm just not a fan of convenience, you know?

    The facilities at this hostel were fantastic. The dorm rooms were clean and the pod-style beds were comfortable. The bathrooms were conveniently located off the dorm and were also very clean. The hostel's location in the old town was a pleasant change from the hustle and bustle of central Phuket. the rooftop pool was a great place to relax after a long day exploring the city.

    To my stay at this hostel. the dorm room was quite dark, even with the lights on.
