Great place, friendly staff, and in the heart of Phuket old town, 10 walking from bus terminal 1.

Lovely happy helpful girl at the service desk. There is a little (poorly equipped) shared kitchen with a shared fridge and a communal "café area" where you can eat your own food, which I appreciated since you are not allowed to bring any foods in to your room.
I had a private double room with private bathroom. It was a white room with patterned floor tiles (nice). Hard bed, as always in Thailand (I've gotten used to it). The sewers were not doing so well (as is very common in Thailand) so the bathroom smellt a bit like broccoli. I did not notice too much of the smell in the room though.
On agoda my room was said to have garden view but there was no other openings than the door to my room. I was specifically looking to book a room that had a window since I dislike windowless cubicles, so this aspect of the room was disappointing to me. (I got a windowless cubicle.)
I actually believe this hostel has no private rooms with windows to the outdoors, since all the rooms I saw were tucked away in the interior of the building. I saw some rooms that had windows that opened to the internal corridor and there were some little plants placed outside these windows. I believe that maybe these rooms are the ones with "garden view".
I think it is better for a hostel to clearly describe what you will get in terms of windows or no windows, opening to outdoor or indoor space. - It makes for happier customers if you you get (at least) what you thought you were getting.
So things to consider when you stay here:
It might be better to get a room with shared bathroom because then you don't risk getting the sewer smell in your bedroom.
Don't expect to get windows opening to the outdoors, or even a window at all.
If you are aware of these conditions, you should find this a five star place, at this price point.
