We stayed at the property in July 2019 for the first night of a 9 day trip to Phuket. We were expecting to move into another accommodation, but our kids liked being at Nonnee so much, we stayed almost our entire time in the area at the property. It was low season- and we had the property much to ourselves, but it was great. It's a short motorbike to Kata, Kata Noi or Karon beaches & the Kata Night Market. They even shuttled us many of the days.
This is a modern property and kept very clean. ...

The staff at this hotel are extremely kind and welcoming. The owner even took me out sightseeing for 1 of my 2 days. The rooms are clean and full of natural light. I highly recommend staying here.

My first time at a hostel and it was amazing!
The beds are enclosed with plywood, so you are in your own mini cubicle and have a very private feeling! No one is staring at you when you sleep lol. They had the A/C set to 23 degrees.
Each room (mine slept 6 people) also has their own private bathroom. It has a western toilet, sink, and hot water shower.
The beds are hard (typical in Thailand). The blanket was a nice, soft, medium weight; white blanket. There was also a full size pillow as...

The only annoying thing was that you have to give a 500 bot security deposit. I had the four person room and it was excellent with its own shower and bathroom. They also provided a free towel and a nice blanket to keep warm. It was a very good experience, especially for a youth hostel type hotel.

Very clean and safe Room was large as well as the bathroom. Very helpful staff no issues. I needed to book an extra day so i didnt have to wait in the airport for eight hours because my flight didn't leave to 2200 and they gave me a discount because I would be staying the night. Super helpful

The owners are the best! They were always available for anything we needed. They went above and beyond. Our breakfast each morning was the best fruit I’ve ever had and the presentation was beautiful. Walking distance to everything: the beach, restaurants, street shops, 2 malls.

I stayed in the hostel part of hotel, and it was awesome! The staff was very friendly and always willing to help. One of the women who work at the front desk even got me a huge discount for an island-hopping tour, which was great since I was on a budget. I stayed in the female dorm which has 6 beds, but I ended up having the room to myself for my entire 3-night stay. The dorms and common bathrooms were always clean and the breakfast was fresh.

When I first arrived I was a little taken aback, I was expecting for the front door to face the beach. That was not the case, this hotel is located in an alleyway of shops across the street from the beach. But I was pleasantly surprised by the friendliness of the staff and how modern the hotel room is. It is in the very center of Patong beach, so shops and restaurants are just a few steps away. Highly recommended!

This place was amazing. Definitely recommend for solo travelers. They do a lot a activities that help with meeting people. Side note I do not recommend using the travel/tour agents in the building, paid 3500 baht with "discount" ($101 usd) for a phi phi island tour that everyone else paid around 2000 bath ($58usd) and the ones who used tripvisor paid $45 usd. I respect their hustle but I'm looking out for my fellow travelers.

Bearpacker is seriously one of the best hostel I've been to. Here are the reasons:
- It is very clean
- The staffs are very helpful
- Was able to do early check-in without any issue
- Great wifi connection
- No deposit for room key
- The chef on the top floor is awesome and makes great food
- Stayed in 4 bunk rooms and it was comfy but remember to bring your lock for the lockers
- AC in the room was awesome
- Roof top pool (it was clean!)
- A lot of awesome people staying there
