Location & what to see
The hostel is in Chalong, a district of Phuket away from the beach strips on the west coast. Chalong Bay and its pier sit nearby, and the area is known for Wat Chalong, one of the best-known temples on the island. Staying here puts the temples and the bay close at hand, while the beach resorts of the west coast are further off.
Wat Chalong, officially Chaithararam Temple, is 200 m from the hostel, and Phuket Botanic Garden is 1.2 km away, with tropical plants and trees across its grounds. Big Buddha Phuket, a large seated Buddha on a hill, is 3.4 km away and is one of the island's best-known landmarks. Chalong Pier, the ferry terminal on the bay, is also close by, a useful point for anyone planning a boat trip.
Karon Beach, a sandy beach on the west coast, is 4.6 km away, and Patong Beach at 6.5 km is a beach town with the Bangla Road nightlife. A day could combine a morning at Wat Chalong with an afternoon on Karon Beach, or an evening on Bangla Road in Patong, which is a good choice for travellers who want to see both the temples and the coast.
What guests say
Travellers rate the room comfort and quality highest, at 10.0, with the value for money (8.7) and the location and service (8.5 each) also scoring well.
