Phuket Town is the island's provincial capital, a working city of shophouses, markets and temples rather than a beach area, and OYO 1163 Eden Hostel sits on Luangphow Soi 1 in the Taladyai sub-district. Life here is local and unhurried by day, with the old town's Sino-Portuguese shophouses and small museums within a short walk. A stay here is a way to see everyday Phuket before heading to the coast.

The Peranakan Museum is 550 m away, with displays on Peranakan culture and the history of the town, and the Lard Yai Sunday Night Market is 650 m from the hotel. The local bus station is 150 m away for local bus connections. Beaches are further out: Patong, with its busy Bangla Road nightlife, is 11.1 km away, and Wat Chalong, the Chaithararam Temple, is 7.8 km away and one of the island's best-known temples.

A good day could start in Phuket Town, walking the streets around Thalang Road and visiting the Peranakan Museum, then continue to Wat Chalong in the south of the island. In the evening the night markets in town are an easy option before an evening at Patong, where the beach strip and its restaurants keep going late into the night.
