Chino Town at Yaowarat Phuket - SHA Plus, hotel in Phuket Town

Featuring free WiFi throughout the property, Chino Town Gallery Hostel is set in Phuket Town, 100 metres from Old Phuket Town. The property offers private and dormitory rooms with air conditioning.

As everyone mentioned in their reviews also, the location is the best part for this property. You have everything you could need in the area. The 2 women at the reception that work morning and afternoon shifts (till 23h open) are absolutely amazing, they go above and beyond and I am very grateful to them. Great place for a few days stay.

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    We are on a world tour and this was by far the cleanest and most organized hostel we stayed in. Our room, toilet, bathroom, and corridors were extremely clean. We started the day with a wonderful smell of cleanliness every day. The staff was very helpful, always smiling and warm-hearted. We loved this place. We even extended it for 1 more day and didn't want to leave. Definitely choose it. Rabbitel Phuket is a clean, safe and quiet place.

    The location was perfect .. a short walk to the main cool Old Town streets. The staff were helpful and courteous. The facilities were great including a pool, beer fridge, book swap, kitchen. I had a room to myself which was well equipped although the stairs up to the loft bed were very step .. needed to be very careful going up and down. A really good hostel catering for both backpacker and older traveller which I am one. Felt safe and comfortable there.

    Great location as it was really close to the shops and cafes. Hostel itself was really nice and felt super safe. Clean and comfy beds and nice shower and toilet area which never felt busy. A cafe fronts the hostel and it’s really nice, the staff were great and have pictures giving recommendations for Phuket. One staff member was super helpful, writing an allergy card in Thai that we’ve used across Thailand.

    One of the best hostels I've stayed in. Extremely clean, quiet, and in the middle of old Phuket town. The staffs were very polite and helpful. Though the stay is the cheapest I've had in Thailand, it came with breakfast and they even gave a souvenir. Would highly recommend.

    Overall it’s a cheap hotel, staff are really nice and helpful. Room itself was very dated, wasn’t overly clean, both the shower and beds were borderline usable. Safe in room was handy, laundry service was good bonus for backpackers and great mopeds to rent from the reception. Location again was okay, but using a moped really helped. Overall, wasn’t the worst, wasn’t the best, but for the price it’s tough to complain to much.
