The hostel is great! The place is sooo clean and the staff where the sweetest girls! They where very helpful in suggesting activities and things to see in the Old Town.

Beehive Hostel was dirty, my bed wasn't cleaned yet even though I had arrived in the evening. No windows in the room. I was on the third floor but the bathrooms and showers were on the first floor. They were disgusting!! The lockers were tiny, they were on the first floor so I had to run up and down the stairs every time I needed my things. Most of the staff didn't speak English, no one could help me make reservations or suggest places to go around town. The lounge area in the lobby was mainly hard benches, not comfortable at all! I tried talking to a couple of guests and the staff but no one would start a conversation, very unfriendly atmosphere!! I spent about an hour at Beehive and then I left to find another hostel. I ended up at The Tint around the corner, it's a hotel so more expensive (less than $30/night US) but worth it!! I left Phuket after two days, not worth a visit. BEST hostel ever is Eden Walking Street hostel in Chiang Mai, check it out!!!

This place has mixed feelings from me. The staff are excellent and so lovely, and upgraded us to a deluxe pool view room with the pool on our balcony which was amazing! The room floor was dirty when we arrived but when we complained they cleaned it up for us immediately. However the bathroom was nothing short of disgusting... Constantly damp and smelling awful, water leaking from pipes all over. Extract fan only came on with the light so left the light on all the time and the door closed which made things marginally better but not much, the stench was pungent. Apart from that - which is possibly only a problem in the room I had - I recommend this hostel especially for the price and location. Rented a bike and explored the area and then the staff booked us a taxi + boat transfer to phi phi, 350 all in which was GREAT. Free small self serve breakfast in the lobby of toast and coffee - can't complain.

All round average.

great staff and a great place for the price.
