2-Star Hotels in Phuket

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.

I liked this hostel very much. It provides everything you need, like shampoo and shower gel; breakfast is included. Laundry service is machine self-operated with coins. You can save money with drying because they have a covered area for you to dry your clothing; it dries very quickly. It's close to Phuket old town Sunday street market. The only thing that I didn't like is that the aircon is not on all the time, they turn it off from 11:30 to 16:30. They keep the fan on so it is bearable. The hostel is very clean and the staff is very friendly and helpful. There are lots of restaurants closeby and a shopping mall with a food court about a five-minute walk. If you book a tour the hostel is in the pickup zone so the van can be arranged to pick you up.

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!

Huge thanks to the staff for their kind assistance, even with my late-night arrival. However, I struggled to sleep at night due to the noisy air conditioning unit located in the hallway.

The hotel is in a great location close to the centre and all the restaurants and bars. Good for the museums, Fujiarma shops and sightseeing. The room was clean and tidy and the shower was great. I would recommend it. Also loved the William Morris Strawberry Their wallpaper.

I'll try to be objective. I chose a hotel two days before my flight, so my options were limited, but I really wanted to get to this beach. It used to be quite deserted, but things have certainly changed. So, the big pros: -Proximity to the beach (you step out of your room and find yourself immediately on a stunning beach and a stunning sea). - Overall, a beautiful place, despite the increasing tourist flow in this area. If you go left, you'll find a picturesque island, and if you go right, you'll take stunning photos with planes landing in the background. There's a functioning Buddhist temple nearby. - Nearby, there are all sorts of shops and cafes for every taste and budget, as well as a night market. -Compared to Patong, it's quite uncrowded (for now). Recommended for families with children. Cons (I'll note right away that I stayed in one room, so the overall picture may be different in other rooms): -When the hotel says there's a window in the room, they're being disingenuous... it would be better if there wasn't one at all, because it only opens about 30 centimeters, and that's onto the stairs and a piece of dirty fence, and at night, there are sounds going on behind it. Some local squabbles with heart-wrenching screams. Sleeping is so-so, of course... - Renovations are underway in the neighboring rooms, so stepping and jumping over piles of construction materials and dirty puddles is not very comfortable. - The linens and furniture are worn out... well, have some respect for the guests, for this price, at least change the blankets... - Glass front door... I, a healthy guy, probably don't mind it much, but it might be uncomfortable for girls... - The shower drains poorly, flooding the floor ankle-deep, both near the toilet and the sink.... - The soundproofing is simply unreal... it's like being in the same room with neighbors... - Overall, it's a bit dirty and unkempt. You walk down the hallway and everything around you is scattered, unkempt, etc.... The receptionists tried their best, but I still have a negative feeling after my stay. Maybe it will be better after the renovation.

The hostel was okay overall—nothing special, nothing terrible. The location was convenient, close to public transport and some restaurants. The dorm room was basic but clean enough, though the beds were a bit hard and the room felt cramped. The shared bathroom was acceptable but sometimes messy during peak hours. Staff were friendly but not particularly helpful. Breakfast was simple—just toast and coffee. Wi-Fi worked fine in common areas but was weak in the rooms. For the price, it's fair if you just need a place to sleep. Not a bad choice for budget travelers, but don't expect too much.

We actually stayed here for five consecutive days! It was a very pleasant stay, and I really wanted to write more! The room was spacious and comfortable, and the hygiene was excellent. The owner is Chinese and has been consistently upgrading the linens. The service was attentive; one night, our Indian neighbors were on a loud call at 2:30 AM, and the owner, contacted via WeChat, promptly resolved the issue! The guesthouse environment is very comfortable, with squirrels, cats 🐱, and other small animals! The sea is right outside the door, as is a local night market! The food stalls at the entrance are also affordable and delicious 😋! I loved it! And for only two to three hundred during peak season, the price is unbeatable!!

Although it's far from the airport, it's close to Patong Beach and there are other street areas to enjoy. You can get to a bus stop near this hostel for about 100 baht from the airport bus. There's also Central Shopping Mall, but it was out of budget for my solo trip.

This is my second time staying here and everything was perfect. The service was great, the place was clean, and the bed was super comfortable. Plus, breakfast is included. I would definitely come back again without a doubt.
