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.

The hostel is located in a good area, the toilets and bathrooms were clean no complain, overall the staff were friendly and helpful and the environment was clean the backyard is beautiful and the breakfast was nice 🥰🥰🥰.  It’s safe to say as a black female traveling alone I felt safe staying there.

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 location is very good its so close to everything in the old town , and the cleaning service is very good, and the staff are very friendly , but keep in mind that the hotel doesn’t have elevator, I recommend this hotel if you want a place close to the old town

staff was really friendly, even let me have the whole room to myself as i preferred a bottom bunk. had 2 lockable cabinet/drawer for your valuables. bed was sufficiently comfortable, aircon worked well and they had a specific lady zone so felt safe. location was alright. they had a communal area with a smart tv but didn’t seem like people were hanging out there so might be because i went during low season. the only complains i had was the toilet was a bit small, and fortunately it was not crowded at the hostel as it only had 2 cubicles (one of the toilets was not working as well). the shower was a bit small but still ok, quite clean as well. the blanket was actually a big towel, which was quite funny but it works and the curtain is a bit translucent esp when you turn the bunk light on (it’s ok if the lights are off, it still provides a level of privacy). not too bad, and for the price it’s pretty good!

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.

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!!

A wonderful guesthouse that takes great care to answer all your questions. I'm so glad our paths crossed. You will definitely love the sincerity and trustworthiness.

J'aurai voulu mettre 5 étoiles, mais au debut j'ai eu quelques piqûres et la troisième nuit je m'aperçois que cela me gratte de partout, plus d'une centaine de piqûres de puces de lit sur tout le corps. Elle etaient sur mes draps et jai pu en écraser trois. J'ai Envoyé les photos a 2h du matin à la direction et nuit sans sommeil et sans eau pour se laver. Pourtant l'hôtel est propre. Mais ”dans mon cas” maintenant impossible d'aller à la plage ou aux massages. Arrêt des vacances.
