Book a Bed Poshtel

Good,

The Quadruple Room with Bathroom was not meant for 4 people. The maximum it could take was 3. The last bed (4th bed) was crammed into the front part of the room, inside a box-like partition on the upper level of the bunk bed structure (that no air-conditioner could reach). There was no indication of the condition of the 4th bed in all the photos on Trip, or on the Poshtel website (probably for good reason). The air-conditioner was not working, and we did not manage to get the hostel to get it fix, granted it was late at night. After a few trips to the Reception, the best the hostel could do was to offer another room, that was meant for 2 people. All the hassle resulted in our our own moving into the offered room by bunking on the sofa + large queen bed as it was late, already 3am and we would get no sleep in the heat. There were no apologies in the morning, and no indication of any concern and trouble the initial room caused to a family of 4 in the Phuket heat. We did not let the lack of sleep ruin the remainder of the day. I had to remind Reception on checkout, that the room's air-conditioner needs to be fixed. The saving grace was the location of the hostel, which was central enough for exploring all parts of Phuket old town. You will do better with another standard hotel room around the area. Being cheap doesn't mean you can skimp on the essential things, including manners. I will definitely NOT recommend this place for a family of 4 OR for 4 persons, hostel or not.
