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.

We loved our stay at OK Phuket. The room and bathroom were clean and spacious, the location was quiet but still central and within walking distance to Kata beach, Kata night market and plenty of food options. However, the highlight of our stay was the fact that we were so well taken care of by the owners. From providing a private tour to the cultural sights to our Phi Phi Island tour to arranging a taxi to the airport. We felt as if we were coming home to our parents at night haha. Would highly highly recommend OK Phuket to stay in!

Everything was great! Nice, clean and cool apartment and very kind people all around. Also, we appreciate the swimming pool, which is a great solution when the beach is not close (but not far away - 10-15 minutes). 7/11 is also nearby so you can buy the primary food.

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.

    This was one of the best hostels I stayed in throughout my 6 week trip. It had a good vibe and a sociable atmosphere but not a party place. I met lots of other travellers, which was lovely. If you were remote working it had plenty of space for laptops. The rooms were spacious with privacy curtains and you had a massive bag locker. The pool was lovely with plenty of space around it . Lots of areas to relax. Having a kitchen and a fridge was a great addition and the free toast and coffee for breakfast was basic but good to have.

    One of the best hostels I've ever stayed in. It felt like the layout and facilities were well thought through. The lockers, the stairs leading to the upper bunks, everything. Separate dressing room for females. Everything was so clean. Swimming pool, very nice communal areas. Free toast, jam and butter for breakfast.

    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.
