Travel Tips

Book your stay in advance during peak season (November to February) to secure your capsule, as this popular hostel fills up quickly. If you’re arriving by plane, book the hostel’s airport shuttle in advance for a stress-free transfer that avoids inflated taxi fares. Bring a small padlock if you plan to use the hostel’s shared lockers for extra security, and note that all indoor common areas and guest rooms are non-smoking, with designated outdoor smoking zones available. If you’re driving to Phuket, the free on-site parking is a rare perk in busy central Patong, so be sure to mention your vehicle when checking in. For a quick, affordable breakfast, grab the hostel’s included morning meal before heading out to the beach.
