Recensioni su The Dorm Hostel

Even if it ended with a nice gesture, the receptionist handing me a keychain gift (not sure if they do that with all guests), with a written request to leave 10/10 review, sadly I couldn't ignore the shortcomings of this hostel that seemed like just a downgraded version of Marco Polo Poshtel (not sure which one came first, but from breakfast to "funny" wall messages, there was a similar "creative" signature). While I was initially attracted by reviews mentioning hostel's cleanliness, I couldn't say I shared the same opinion. Certain public areas were quite messy. The staircase to the first floor (where shoes are forbidden) didnt seem to be cleaned for some time. In the showers (which had a good water pressure), there was mold. None of the three handsoap dispensers in the only bathroom had soap in them. It just felt the staff doesnt have time or organizational skills to maintain everything in working order. But I was mostly surprised by finding a not clean (i dont want to call it "used") bed cover in my bed. It had some fresh stains, hair and crumbles (well, not just on bed cover), and seemed just to be folded after the guest before me (even the folding seemed messed up, so i really thought maybe the bed was forgotten). When I asked the housekeeping to change it, they initially approved. The younger housekeeper started changing everything, sheet included (which i believe is a good way to do it, when it is not certain if the bed was completely changed), but when the older one returned, she made her put the sheet back (the sheet that was thrown on the floor in the meantime), laughing all along. No, that wasnt really funny. Then instead of letting the young housekeeper put on the new bed cover she brought along, i noticed that the older one brought something that seemed to be the same old bed cover that i complained about (the duvet was already inside). When i asked if that is a new thing, she was convincing me it was. Already at that moment, i felt ridiculed. But i said, "okay, if you say so." After all was done, i came back to my bed, unfolded the bed cover and confirmed my doubt - all this performance of changing the bed, without them changing anything! The only difference was that the bedsheet was also on the floor in the meantime. This got me really frustrated, mostly because they lied to my face (what for?), and mostly because they invested energy in "changing" everything while actually just stripping everything off and returning it (why? It takes the same amount of energy to do it for real). Feeling like an *****, i asked what seemed to be the problem? Dont they have clean bedding, or what? But they had. I asked them to give it to me then, and i would happily prepare the bed myself. Which they accepted. Lol. I dont know, with that poor breakfast, the visual mess, unpleasant "toilet" scent at hostel entrance, and generally low level of cleanliness (you can see how yellow the pillow is once you remove the pillow case yourself), it felt that other reviews mentioning spotless hygiene were misleading. Or were my standards too high? In any case, i stayed in a dozen of Phuket hostels during my month here, but none of them tried to insult my intelligence. There are better places, and no, Dorm Hostel sadly doesnt deserve 10/10, to quote the request they tell everyone at check-out. I also tried to leave them space for hostel improvement, so instead of lowest marks, i left average ones, even if the experience was truly below average. P.S. When a guest asks whether a ferry with a pick-up operates everywhere in Phuket, a genuinely helpful answer would be "yes". And not "no, it's only our hostel's pickup". I understand everyone just tries to earn money, but it shouldn't be done by misleading guests who just trustfully ask for information.

Amazing Hostel and really nice people. I love the beds and the door is a slide door so its not so loud. Its really clean. For 50bath you can wash your clothings. The breakfast is simple but good. They also have free water. Defently the best hostel i went to so far

The hostel can improve on the cleanliness. There is a lot of mosquitoes in the lobby. It is important for the business to install the mosquito zapper like they have in fast food restaurants, as this machine is inexpensive. Also the air conditioning is turned off in the afternoon, meaning that it will be quite hot and stuffy in the rooms. The fans in the room are also very noisy making it difficult to sleep at night. Even though the mattress is queen sized but it was difficult to get a good night's rest. I would recommend that travelers spend a bit more to get a much better accommodation. There are many better options across the road with restaurants at the basement that are only slightly more expensive.

Very nice staff. Very helpful, safe and clean hostel

It was clean and good hostel. The staff was very nice. It has good breakfast. I will definitely book here again.

Well placed and clean, awesome staff, breakfast basic but cheap enough

It’s a good one, I like it so much I stayed here 3-4 times!

Loved our stay here. Very clean hostel. Has everything you’d need. Close to the old town. Friendly staff. Spacious beds and the dorms are surprisingly quiet. Would recommend

ดีคับ อยู่ใจกลางเมือง

เพิ่งเคยพักแบบห้องรวมครั้งเเรก สบายกว่าที่คิดเยอะเลย ห้องน้ำห้องอาบน้ำสะอาดมาก ด้านล่างมีที่นั่งให้นั่งเล่น

帶父母第一次感受青旅，這家非常乾淨，女主人等到我們12點每天做清潔維護，住了兩天，離中心近，住宿人不多，很舒服，簡直太棒了，推薦！

ภาพโดยรวมดีค่ะ ห้องนั่งจะร้อนไปหน่อยไม่ได้เปิดแอร์
