Comfort Hostel Phuket Old Town by MaTong is in Phuket Town, 750 m from Phuket Old Town. The historic quarter is known for Sino-Portuguese shophouses along Thalang, Dibuk and Soi Romanee streets. Baan Chinpracha is 350 m away, and Thai Hua Museum is 500 m away; Rang Hill, a hilltop viewpoint above town, is 550 m from the hostel. The surroundings are urban, with heritage buildings, temples, shops and public markets rather than a beachside setting.

Phuket Bus Terminal is 1.4 km from the hostel, while Phuket Bus Terminal 2 is 3.4 km away. The hostel offers an airport shuttle, and a taxi can cover the final leg from either bus terminal. Check-in is from 14:00 to 20:00, with a 24-hour front desk. Free public parking is possible on site, but you need to reserve it.

Sam Sae Chu Hut Shirine is 300 m away and Jui Tui Shrine is 650 m away; both are local places of worship. Lard Yai Sunday Night Market is 750 m away, with food stalls along the Old Town streets on Sundays, and Peranakan Museum is 950 m away. The shrines reflect the Chinese religious traditions visible in Phuket Town, while the market occupies historic streets rather than a beachfront promenade. A visit can combine the shophouses, museums and market, with cooking and culture classes also available at the hostel. Phuket's east-side town contrasts with the island's west-coast beach resorts, so a beach visit is a separate outing.
