Rooms

7 room types · 12–18 m²

Phuket Sunny Hostel has seven accommodation options, from single, twin and double rooms to beds in mixed dormitories. Room sizes range from 12 to 18 m², and every option uses a shared bathroom. The rooms vary in air conditioning: several have it, while some city-view twin and dormitory choices use a fan. City views appear in selected twin rooms and dorm beds, so the outlook depends on the room type.

The Superior Twin, Superior Single and Superior Double rooms include a flat-screen TV and minibar, and their room facilities include a refrigerator. Other types have a simpler setup, with desks, seating areas, linen and sockets near the bed. The dormitory options provide bunk beds and lockers; the six-bed dorm has a fan, while the seven-bed dorm is air-conditioned. Shared shower facilities and towels are available across the room range.
