All guest rooms at the hostel come with a seating area. All rooms have a coffee machine, a TV, a safety deposit box and free WiFi, while selected rooms also offer a balcony and some have city views. At OK Phuket each room includes bed linen and towels.

The hosts, Mama and Tom, were SO welcoming and even gave us a tour around the area and always offered assistance. The location was perfect, just a couple blocks from Kata Walking Market, a great restaurant called Orchid House just around the corner, Kata Beach about a 10 minute walk away. Very comfortable room with a clean bathroom and good AC. They brought us new cold drinking water every day and had beach towels for our use, every detail was above and beyond. We could have stayed much longer than 3 nights. It was the most relaxing part of our trip to Thailand.

Great staff but the area isn’t great, and the bedsheets smelled as though they had not been dried properly after their last wash. It was pleasant enough though and served a purpose.

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.

    Very clean and modern room. Great view and access to the pool. We loved how they gave you a beach/pool towel as well. The safe was very useful as well. The staff were very kind and useful. Great location, near a free entrance beach, and lots of shops and restaurants. Room service food is also very nice!

    Clean hostel, comfy beds. Great, wonderful staff. Really helpful. We booked an island tour through the hostel staff at a much cheaper price that any of the streetside tour sellers.

    Firstly the dorms are awesome: great AC, really comfy beds, pretty well soundproofed. The toilets are frequently cleaned and I especially loved the showers. Communal area is really colourful and fun. Great location right in the heart of Kata. I think the price was so cheap cause it’s a relatively new place but dang, so so cheap compared to neighbouring hostels.
