Reviews of Crown Hostel

04 February 2012 Ridwana Kabir would recommend this property

Liked: The location is the best place in Bangla road, where you can do everything in Phuket!

Disliked: No elevator

02 February 2012

Liked: Honestly...nothing! The only good thing I can say is that the owner was there to check us in at 1am and was friendly enough.

Disliked: Where do I start?! Firstly the room was filthy. The once white walls were now covered in black greasy marks, with chewing gum stuck on one wall, and something splashed down another. As the room was only the width of the double bed, we spent the night sleeping in the middle of the bed, desperately trying not touch the walls! The bedding smelt musty and disgusting and we only slept on it as we were so desperately tired after arriving in Phuket at 1am. The room was tiny, with no window, and the ceiling fan was useless, leaving the room incredibly hot! The hostel is next to/above a rock bar which played loud music until 2am - and I think this is even later at weekends. The room had an en suite toilet and cold shower, but the only hot shower is in a separate bathroom. Unfortunately this shower was right next door to our bathroom and instead of a window, there was a hole in the wall above the toilet. This meant we could very clearly hear people using the shower from early in the morning, and as soon as the first person had had a shower, the drains began to stink! I guess if you want to stay in the heart of Patong, and the noise and crowds don't bother you, the location is good. We only stayed for one night as we were going to Koh Phi Phi in the morning and this was more than enough! I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone, even for one night. I have no doubt you can find much better accommodation for the same price or cheaper.

Liked: Peter and his wife are very welcoming! They are available to help you whenever you need anything, including planning and booking future travels. Right beside Bangla Rd and 5 min walk to the beach. Perfect for partying at night and tanning during the day. Awesome banzaan food/clothing market 5 min walk away too!

Disliked: Because of the closeness of Bangla Rd it is very noisy at night but if partying is your intention than its perfect.

Disliked: we did'nt mind it, but if you are there to get a good night sleep every night, this is not the place. Its located in the main party road and the music goes on all night.

24 February 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: The location is near the most troubled street in the town. It's just 200m to the beach. The rooms were clean.

Disliked: The single room didn't have a window and with just a fan it was impossible muggy. The double room did have a window but it goes to the street where the Rock City is (a Rock Bar), where are concerts till 6 am. So there its a little bit loud the whole night.
