Encontre hotéis 2-Star em 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 Burmese woman made the stay unpleasant and uncomfortable for myself and multiple other guests. @Owner, consider replacing this employee with a Thai person who has customer service skills. Promote someone in the group that comes in to cook breakfast and clean. Cleaning should be prioritized to a higher degree - the floors and bathrooms are cleaned once per day. There is black mold growing from standing water in the second floor bathroom. This place has potential to be great, but lack of management has it going downhill quick.

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.

A sala é limpa e a Casa é limpa todos OS dias.A localização é excelente, perto Da rua Da Cidade antiga e muitos restaurantes perto. A pressão da água é muito baixa.Um dos blocos não tem elevador, tem que carregar a bagagem de ur para cima e para baixo.

Tive uma estadia incrível aqui! 10/10 para segurança — a recepção funciona apenas até meia-noite, mas a porta tranca automaticamente por dentro e somente os hóspedes podem entrar. Em termos de localização, fica a uma curta caminhada da cidade velha de Phuket e de outros cafés e restaurantes. O Grab foi nosso melhor amigo. E, para nossa surpresa, o transporte público jeepney para a praia de Patong fica estacionado bem em frente ao hotel. Ponto negativo: os colchões, talvez? Um pouco duros. E há uma varanda que é meio inútil, já que a vista é para o telhado do vizinho.

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 strip 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.

Esta foi minha visita de volta a este albergue, e devo dizer que fiquei desapontado. Da última vez, em outra plataforma, dei uma classificação de 8/10, mas agora acho que fui generoso demais. Além de sorrir, mas não uma equipe que fala inglês (e sorrir nem sempre resolve problemas como uma ação informada) e preço acessível, foi difícil encontrar todos os benefícios que pensei que este albergue tinha. O dispensador de água quente não estava funcionando, mas nem mesmo água fria potável estava acessível - tive que pedir à equipe 3 vezes para alguém encher a máquina. Mas na manhã seguinte estava vazio novamente - deveria haver um sistema em vigor e não contar com os hóspedes para perseguir a equipe para consertar sempre que o tanque de água estivesse vazio. Digo perseguindo porque raramente há alguém na recepção. Eles podem estar limpando os quartos (boa sorte em encontrá-los), mas, francamente, os quartos não estavam tão limpos. O chão estava rezando para ser esfregado, a poeira no ventilador do banheiro também queria ir embora... havia até uma mancha claramente visível no meu lençol ao fazer o check-in, mas a equipe trocou o lençol imediatamente (eles poderiam ter notado quando estavam fazendo a cama pela primeira vez, talvez? O armário não estava funcionando, então o funcionário teve que usar uma faca para fazê-lo funcionar. O outro local de armazenamento também estava cheio de migalhas, presumo que não esteja na lista de limpeza com muita frequência. O ar condicionado no quarto parecia não funcionar corretamente. Sempre havia uma sensação de temperatura muito fria, não importava se o termostato estivesse fixado em 18 ou 25 graus Celsius, você estava congelando mesmo sob o cobertor. As cortinas de privacidade ainda são transparentes (?), e as portas do quarto fecham ruidosamente. O chuveiro era mais uma garoa - a pressão da água não atendia aos requisitos básicos. No primeiro banho, nem estava quente. Entrei no segundo, onde o aquecedor estava funcionando melhor, mas você não conseguia tomar banho com água praticamente pingando em você. No geral, há outros albergues com preços semelhantes em Phuket que oferecem um serviço melhor.

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.

Отличный хостел, очень близко к Старому городу, хорошие комнаты, розетки-освещение у каждой кровати, полотенца выдают, есть большое пространство для посиделок на первом этаже со столиками и диванчиками, если нужно поработать,то там прям супер-удобно, и на втором этаже есть небольшая общая зона. Все понравилось

Located between two bars, the door has the Sundiva logo on it to help guide you. I think most people who come to Sundiva have trouble finding it because of its small entrance, but it gets wider once you go inside. Great place overall!
