Overview
Thalang Road is the spine of Phuket's old town, and Purr Hostel sits right on it. Step outside and you're among restored shophouses, coffee bars and, on Sunday evenings, the walking street market.
Inside, you can choose between private rooms and shared dorms. A fully equipped kitchen and a casual lounge make it easy to cook and chat, and a games room helps break the ice with other travellers. Wi-Fi covers the whole building, which digital nomads will appreciate.
