Bodega is a relaxed hostel, music cafe and gallery in the heart of bustling Patong - the heart of the action on Phuket. It's only a 5-10 minute walk to the beach and the nightlife madness of Bangla Road, and yet we are located in a peaceful street, ensuring a good nights rest. We offer comfortable rooms at reasonable rates and we pride ourselves on our top quality service and relaxed vibe. All private rooms are immaculately clean and all are equipped with AC, Fan, safe, TV, Wi-Fi access, en suite bathrooms and complimentary drinking water. Our 8 bed mixed dorm offers full size single beds with duvets, A/C, security lockers, 2 bathrooms, individual reading lights/power points and a balcony. All linen and towels are supplied. All of our rooms are serviced daily. For guests traveling without a laptop we have a guest computer at reception. We also have a games room and DVD lounge complete with music station for you own iPod party, to relax in on those (rare) rainy days. Bodega's cafe/gallery showcases local aspiring artists and musicians, and serves coffees, cake, our famous fresh fruit smoothies, Thai and international food - all at reasonable prices. Regular parties are organized to bring together local musicians and DJ's. Phuket has so much local talent! Feel free to bring your iPod, hook up to our DJ equipment and start your own party at the bar, or join one of our open mic sessions! Come for 'Travelers Happy Hour', Meet your fellow inmates and exchange your travel tales!
