Hotel 2 stelle a 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.

L'ostello è situato in una buona zona, le tolette e i bagni erano puliti senza lamentele, il personale era amichevole e utile in generale e l'ambiente era pulito il giardino è bellissimo e il colazione è stato bello 🥰🥰🥰.  E' sicuro dire come una donna nera che viaggia da sola, mi sentivo sicuro rimanere lì.

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.

La mia prima volta che ero in un stile di dormitorio di ponte, il manager era disposto a venire e mi ha controllato a metà della notte.Fai il deposito rimborsabile di 200 Baht. Dammi la tovagliola. Mi ha informato della regola di non avere un sandallo/shoe al secondo piano per mantenere il pavimento pulito. Questo è tutto quello che potete vedere. Bella stanza, freddo, nessun rumore nella stanza, e altre regole ”Io sto dormendo”. Se hai un problema di non usare sandali nel bagno, allora sinceramente hai solo bisogno di un hotel con una stanza privata. Sì, il ponte superiore era spaventoso. Ho sognato di scendere 😪 Beh, lo stile di dormitorio di ponte non è solo per me, ma una buona esperienza qui, e con 217 Baht (compresa l'imposta) ho pagato, vale la pena. Questo hotel offre anche colazione. Qualcosa che non mi aspettavo veramente 😁😁 Mi danno anche un regalo chiave per un checkout. Certo, mi ritrovo i miei 200 Baht.

Staff look a bit shy and quiet. Booked a Family Room with 3 beds and got room 6 on 2nd floor next to the stairs. Direct beach and restaurant are at the back of the resort. At night they and resorts nearby have dinner tables so the beach is lit and lively. Early in the morning they don’t set up yet so it’s very good to walk, run and exercise there. They’re having a renovation. Room 6 had very strong paint smell. Water faucets are usable so they don’t change yet. Hose spray for toilet is on the right and you will twist your body to hang it on the left. Coffee making table, clothes cabinet and safe box are inside the bathroom with walls to separate. Drain hole is near the wall of the toilet so when we shower, the toilet room is wet too. Wall mount shower gel and shampoo. Bring your tooth brush set as most places in Thailand don’t give. Water drains slow a bit but not clogged. Other rooms on ground floor are being renovated also. It’s a small resort in the shape of a town house and they have a small lane to walk to the beach. Next to that lane are 3 or 4 guest rooms on ground floor. If you need the best room, it’s on 2nd floor at the end and you have 2 large beds, a separate large room with microwave, table with 4 chairs at the balcony overlooking the beach. Other guests can walk to this balcony too. View is the sea and the roof of the beach front restaurant. Room 6 has a table & 2 chairs outside the room so when you smoke and eat, expect to see other guests walking pass. Tops convenience store is on the other side of the street. Many shops, restaurants and food stalls on this street. The resort is at the end of this small beach town & next to the National Park. Walking about 30 minutes towards the park direction, we saw a tiny coral islet and we crossed the coral underwater way from main beach to that islet. Wear aqua shoes as it’s impossible to walk with bare feet. Water level is around waist line. The main beach has a ***** of sand running towards that tiny islet and the other side has high sand. Very beautiful sunset. If you want to do that, go before 4pm because when it’s dark (after 6pm, mid October), there is almost no light in that zone and water starts to raise higher which means it’s more difficult to walk back from the tiny islet. The walk is short with strong waves. Water is warm.

Ottima posizione, camere ordinate e pulite, nessun odore (umidità/muffa), il direttore è gentile. L'unico problema che ho avuto è stato il bagno sporco, il pavimento era peloso, il tubo era bloccato da molti capelli. Abbiamo fatto il check-in molto tardi con una prenotazione last minute, immagino che abbiano preparato la camera (era pulita e le lenzuola e gli asciugamani erano perfetti) e si siano dimenticati di pulire il bagno.

As I extended my stay at this hotel, I would like to add a few comments to my previous review, which you can find here on Trip.com. My first review gives a more detailed impression of the room and the hotel overall. During the extended stay, there was renovation work in the room next to mine. The door was often left open, the area looked quite dirty, and there was noticeable noise from the workers talking and working, which made the stay less comfortable. I also mentioned at the reception that my birthday would take place during my stay. While I did not expect anything special, even a small symbolic gesture would have been appreciated. Unfortunately, there was no acknowledgment, which felt like a lack of attention to returning guests.

Situato tra due bar, l'ingresso ha il logo Sundiva per orientarsi. Credo che la maggior parte delle persone che vengono da Sundiva abbia difficoltà a trovarlo a causa del suo ingresso piccolo, ma una volta entrati si allarga. Nel complesso, un posto fantastico!

Grande. Mi piace. Il letto è bello. L'ostello aveva un colazione per me, ma sono uscito molto tardi e l'ho dimenticato. La prossima volta se vado a stare in città di Phuket, lo scelgo di sicuro di nuovo senza dubbio.
