A well-run boutique hostel in the centre of Patong, popular with backpackers and budget travellers. Offers both dormitory beds and private rooms, with a social rooftop bar, a pool, and a helpful travel desk. Clean, modern facilities with a lively community atmosphere.
Lub d Phuket Patong stands on Phrabaramee Road at the northern end of Patong, Phuket's densest and most commercially developed beach town. The hostel sits a five-minute walk from the northern fringe of Patong Beach and around a ten-minute walk from Bangla Road, the entertainment district known for its open-fronted bars and live music venues.
The Lub d brand (the name means 'sleep well' in Thai) operates a network of design-led hostels across Southeast Asia, and the Patong property shares the group's signature aesthetic: exposed concrete, bold graphic murals, accent lighting, and a clean layout that distinguishes it from older budget guesthouses in the area. Accommodation runs from six-bed and eight-bed air-conditioned dormitories with individual power points and reading lights per bunk, through to private en-suite rooms sleeping one or two. Beds use real spring mattresses with linen.
The rooftop social area — bar, pool, and sun deck — is the hostel's defining communal space and the primary draw for social travellers. A ground-floor travel desk organises group day trips to Phi Phi Islands and Similan Islands, motorbike rentals, and shared minivan transfers to the airport. The in-house café-restaurant opens for breakfast and evening meals, serving both Thai dishes and the backpacker staples (toasties, smoothie bowls, club sandwiches) common on the international hostel circuit.
A co-ed common room with table football, a book exchange, and secure luggage storage rounds out the practical facilities. 24-hour reception means late arrivals and early departures are handled without difficulty.

Tips for visiting
- Book a lower bunk when reserving a dorm bed — the higher bunks in six-bed rooms can feel warm at night despite air conditioning
- The rooftop bar runs happy-hour prices until 20:00; arriving early for a drink before heading out to Bangla Road saves money
- Phrabaramee Road has regular songthaew (shared red taxi-truck) service to the city centre and airport, running from early morning
