Ekkamon Mansion in Phuket, Thailand

We've just spent one night in the Ekkamon Mansion in Phuket Town on our way to the Ko Phi Phi. For this purpose this hostel was a good choice, although the arrival was very - let's say - intesting... The hostel doesn't have a reception, we checked in at the cleaning staff, which didn't speak a single word english. The reason for this might be that it's not a hotel in the usual sense as they rent rooms for long-term tenats as well. But room itself was totally ok and very clean.
