2W Cafe & Hostel

Every room at 2W Cafe & Hostel has air conditioning and linens, and the room sizes run from 10 m² to 52 m². At one end is a bunk bed in a female-only dormitory, at the other a 52 m² family room for up to eleven guests, with three double beds and five bunk beds.

Beds go from single and bunk beds to queen and king beds. Some rooms have a city view or a street view, and the 13 m² 2W Deluxe has a balcony or terrace. Clothes racks and lockers appear in several rooms, and the Family Room 11 includes a seating area.

Guests can use the on-site cafe, a coffee shop and a halal restaurant, and the hostel offers an airport transfer, tours and bicycle rental. Luggage storage, lockers and safety deposit boxes are available to guests.

There is 24-hour security, and the staff speak English and Thai. A smoking area is provided, and a postal service and a taxi service are also available. A library is on site, and family rooms are available for groups travelling together, with bicycle rental for getting around Phuket Town.

2W Cafe & Hostel is in Phuket Town, the capital of Phuket island, where Sino-Portuguese shophouses line the streets and the pace is that of a working town rather than a beach resort. Shops, banks and offices sit beside the older buildings, so the area suits those who want to see the island beyond its beaches, with markets, shrines and small museums close by.

Talad Kaset Market is 200 m away, and the Phuket Town Local Bus Station is 650 m from the hostel, a useful link for reaching other parts of the island. The Bang Neow Shrine, a small Chinese shrine, is nearby on the same town streets. Phuket International Airport is 27.6 km away, and Karon Beach is 11.6 km away for a day by the sea. Patong Beach, the island's best-known resort area, is 11 km away.

A day here can start at Talad Kaset Market, continue to the Peranakan Museum and the Phuket Trickeye Museum, whose 3D painted scenes are fun to walk through, and finish at the Plein Poa night market, where food stalls stay busy into the evening. Her Majesty the Queen's 72nd Anniversary Park makes a quiet break between the museums and the market.
