Eco Hostel

Eco Hostel is a 2-star hostel in Phuket Town, with a six-person dormitory and a family room for up to seven.

The dormitory has air conditioning and a shared bathroom; the Standard Triple Room adds a balcony, terrace, sofa and city and mountain views, with a private bathroom. The smaller Basic Triple Room also has a balcony and terrace, but its private bathroom is across the hall rather than inside the room. The family room offers a private bathroom, sofa and seating area, with air conditioning for up to seven people.

Free WiFi, a tour desk, luggage storage and a shared lounge/TV area serve travellers arriving in town or spending time indoors. Free public parking is possible on site. On Phang Nga Road, Eco Hostel is 250 m from Phuket Bus Terminal 1 and within walking distance of Phuket Town's museums, market and historic streets.

Eco Hostel has four room types, ranging from shared dormitory accommodation to private triple and family rooms. The 25 m² six-bed mixed dormitory sleeps up to six and has air conditioning; its bathroom is shared. The 30 m² Standard Triple Room provides a private bathroom and adds a balcony, terrace, sofa, seating area and city and mountain views. The 20 m² Basic Triple Room also sleeps three and has a balcony and terrace, but its private bathroom is outside the room, across the hall.

At 40 m², the Family Room is the largest option and accommodates up to seven, with five bunk beds and one large king-size bed. It has a private bathroom, sofa and seating area, as well as air conditioning. The room range varies in privacy, outlook and capacity, from a shared six-bed layout to a family room for a larger group.

Eco Hostel is on Phang Nga Road in Phuket Town, on the side of the historic centre served by the main bus terminal. Phuket Bus Terminal 1 is 250 m away; Phuket Trickeye Museum is 550 m away, Talad Kaset is 600 m away and Thalang Road is 950 m away. Thalang Road's Sino-Portuguese shophouses give a sense of the old town's architecture. Local shops and eateries share the central streets, with Khao Tom Thanon Di Buk and Metro Roast Duck among the nearby dining choices.

For onward connections, Phuket Bus Terminal 2 is 3.9 km from the hostel, and Phuket International Airport is 26.3 km away. Free public parking is possible on site without a reservation. Check-in runs from 14:00 to 20:00, and you need to tell the hostel your expected arrival time in advance. Room access is by stairs only, which matters if you are carrying luggage. Some reviewers report traffic noise from the nearby road entering the rooms.

Phuket Town's heritage streets and museums are easy to explore from here: Thai Hua Museum is 1.2 km away, and the Peranakan Museum is 800 m away. Wat Mongkol Nimit, 1 km away, is a town temple; Rang Hill, 2.2 km away, offers a green hillside walk above the urban streets. For a coastal outing, Siray Bay Beach is 3.4 km away. The hostel's town setting also puts historic architecture, museum visits, a temple and a hillside walk close to the bus-terminal side of Phuket Town.
