Phuket Hostels

The room was very clean, hot water was plentiful, the hairdryer was powerful, and the air conditioning worked great. Overall, I was very satisfied! 👍 The price was also very affordable, and the owner was lovely. I'll definitely choose this place again next time I'm in town!

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.

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!

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.

Centrally located, close to the market and public park. The built-in single beds are spacious, almost like queen-sized beds, so there's not much disturbance from roommates getting in and out of bed. There's a common area for relaxing and watching TV with internet-connected TV. The internet signal is strong, which I liked.

the location is ideal for patong budget backpackers, but the room is crowded and smelly, and with a lot of noise. the self check in system is nice as your name will be displayed on the tv outside displaying your assigned bed. they do give free towel and small luggage storage with a lock enough to keep a backpack for valuables like laptop or wallet

We stayed for a one-night visit and overall the experience was fine, with clean facilities and everything generally in good condition. However, the main issue occurred during check-in. Upon arrival, we found the reception area closed with a “closed” sign displayed, and there was no clear way to contact the hotel staff by phone or otherwise. This was quite inconvenient, especially after traveling and arriving with luggage. After waiting for around an hour, the staff eventually returned and reopened the check-in counter. They explained that they had been upstairs carrying out maintenance work, which unfortunately left guests unattended at the front desk during that time. While the stay itself was otherwise comfortable and acceptable, the lack of availability at check-in and poor communication upon arrival significantly affected the first impression. Improving front desk coverage or providing a clear contact method during temporary closures would greatly enhance the guest experience.

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.
