Little gem called Tawee Mansion in Soi Takua Thung just off Phuket Road was 300/400 baht last year.....new and very clean and quiet.....a bit of thai might come in handy....

On On Hotel has a bit of history .....featured in the Beach...180 baht with fan......try this link

Your description of what hotel was featured in the beach is a bit vague!

On On Hotel and The Beach movie

On On Hotel

As seen on The Beach

There's something about the On On. Established in 1929, this huge wooden maze of battered rooms was Phuket's first hotel. If not for its starring role in The Beach, where it stood in for a dilapidated guesthouse in Bangkok, and then in the Tsunami mini-series, where it played itself -- a dilapidated hotel in Phuket, the On-On would have either renovated or shut down. Appearances aside, the real problem with the On On is that the rooms are uncomfortable. Fluorescent light from the hallways streams into the rooms all night long, the walls are paper-thin and the corridors noisy, some rooms don't have electrical outlets, and both the mattresses and pillows were very hard. The cheapest rooms share grotty bathrooms that reek of mothballs and, of the en-suite rooms, many of the bathrooms are Asian squat-style. If you can't resist the On On's seedy allure the trick to staying here is to be selective, some rooms are much worse than others. Rooms are dirt cheap but you'll still get a better all-around value somewhere like the Thalang Guesthouse. However, as long as people remember that Leonardo DiCaprio slept here, the On On will be around.
