Phuket Hostels

My initial thought on this accommodation business is in some ways positive. If it is viewed purely as a 'hostel' with an associated coffee shop, then it definitely has attributes (and I'll come back to those later). But if taken at face value on the basis of its tariff cost and amenities, both real and indicated, then there are several problems with it. The first is the way the premises is represented on the Trip com platform. Photographs of the double bedroom include one of a bathroom. The attached text description and its context makes the plain implication that the room has an ensuite bathroom, which it does not. If little scrutiny is applied when reading the description, this fact will escape the readers attention. Anyone looking to make a reservation quickly can easily be misled (inadvertently?) into believing that this is a 'hotel' style room. Many hostels do offer rooms with ensuite bathrooms after all. The bathroom is communal and is inconveniently located on the ground floor. Rooms are above this. A second related criticism is the room size description - 18 m sq is quoted. The room has dimensions of 3 x 3.5 m. That is, about 10 m sq ! Although late February is still peak season in Phuket, it has to be said that the room tariff of almost $60 AUD per night is exorbitant. It may be considered acceptable for a 18 m sq hotel style room, given the circumstances, but a room of this kind at this particular locality ought to be offered at a lower price. Having said this, I concede that the reservation was made late and in haste. Now onto the good things. The 10 m sq double bed room has old but high quality wooden furniture which serves its purpose well. The air conditioning is responsive and strong There is a large kitchen next to the bathroom/wash basin (trough). It's equipped with a large fridge, sink, cutlery etc as well as a coffee maker ( + ground coffee). A delicious banana cake was offered to guests. Clothes can be washed and dried via a coin operated machine. Other attributes include the woman owner/ manager who has a professional approach and an attitude very well suited to the hospitalality jndustry. The coffee shop also makes decent coffees and ham n cheese croissants.

Pros: Great location, helpful staff, simple breakfast provided. Cons: 1. No elevator, and the latter half of the stairs are open-sided, which is something to consider if you have a lot of luggage. 2. The bed had bugs, lots of ants, basically felt like I was sleeping with them. 3. There's a night market right below. The sign says it closes at 10 PM, but one night they were still singing past 11 PM. Other times, it wasn't even open. 4. The shower water pressure was too low, and the temperature wasn't hot enough. 5. The air conditioner made noise when changing the fan mode, and on the last day, the cooling effect was poor. 6. They charged extra for an additional blanket in a double room, and later I found bloodstains on it...

Quiet, tidy, and clean. Each of the four floors has a common area. Showers are convenient, and there's a place to hang laundry on the fourth floor. The price is very reasonable, just a few tens of yuan, and it even includes a freshly prepared breakfast. The location is great, right next to the Big Golden Dragon in Phuket Town. This is a hostel that really impressed me. I'll definitely come back here.

The location is very convenient, with a 7-Eleven right downstairs. At night, there is live singing downstairs, sometimes quite late. Not sure if it’s only on certain days, but light sleepers should take note. The bed space is fairly spacious, and each bed comes with 4 hangers, a small lockable box for valuables, and access to large luggage lockers. However, there is only one power outlet per bed. My room has 8 beds in total and a small common area, though it feels a bit unmanaged and more like a storage space. On the 1st floor, guests can use a fridge, water dispenser, microwave, and enjoy free snacks like biscuits, bananas, coffee, and tea. The shower area is on the 3rd floor, which is convenient, but the water pressure is weak, and the toiletries are quite basic. Overall, this is a budget-friendly hostel in a good location, suitable if you don’t mind some noise and simple facilities.

Highly impressed with my stay at The Dorm Hostel as a solo traveler. This hostel meets every need! Content: It praises the cleanliness, superb location (convenient for attractions/transport), the friendly and helpful staff (excellent service), and the great amenities (comfortable beds, large lockers, nice common areas). Conclusion: Highly recommend it for solo travelers looking for great value, cleanliness, and a good atmosphere. Will definitely come back!

I absolutely loved this budget-friendly hotel! The staff were excellent, and the cleaning was good. They provide beach towels at the reception upon request. I checked in quickly in the evening and they took a deposit which was later returned. I stayed in a room on the 4th floor with a partial view of the mosque. Neither the street noise nor the calls to prayer ever bothered me. I had a fantastic time, thank you all so much! There are local cafes near the hotel offering affordable American breakfasts, as well as plenty of shops. I enjoy walking and exploring, so I had no trouble getting around or walking to the sea. Wishing everyone good luck and happy travels!

Good clean and neat all facilities available I stayed at this hostel for four days, and I really liked it a lot. The hostel is very clean, neat, and well-maintained. It offers many facilities, which made the stay comfortable. For hot water, they have a water dispenser that provides both hot and cold water. Tea, coffee, and sugar are also available for guests. Overall, almost all necessary facilities are provided. The only thing missing was a toaster, but everything else was very good. The hostel is clean, the environment is pleasant, and it is located close to the main road. It is also very near to the airport—you can even walk to the airport. I personally walked to the airport and back, and it was very convenient. I really liked the place, the atmosphere is clean and friendly, and I would highly recommend this hostel to others. If you are looking for a place to stay, I recommend staying here. I rented one bed, staying two days first and then another two days.

Facilities: There's a 24-hour shower, bath towels, a hairdryer, and sheets provided. Thai air conditioning is usually quite cold, but the room has a remote control so you can adjust it. Cleanliness: The dorm is for girls only, so it's very clean and hygienic. Environment: It's very close to Phuket Town and the weekend night market. Service: Free breakfast is offered, including toast, boiled eggs, bananas, and coffee – it's excellent and worth staying for!

The hostel has a very excellent location. All services are close to the hostel. The best is that the hostel worker is kind and has high morals. I recommend visiting this hostel and you will not regret it.

It was a very good trip in the hostel. The location is perfect, very close to several night market, to the grossery, a lot of good restaurants and cafe, from 5 minute to the old town and very close to the pier to go to Phi Phi Island.  The personal is also very kind and helpful !
