Dive Den Reviews

Great location. Just outside the touristy area so dont get hasseled every min to buy something. I liked that is 5 min to the touristy part if you wanted to go. Not a whole lot going on there in terms of entertainment. I used the place soley as a place to sleep and that is all i really could do. Stayed in the dorm room but lockers were provided that were safe. Would stay there again if in patong. Would probably do more diving and day trips.

All yoou could ask for from a budget hostel! Very friendly and helpfull staff and the location is perfect, close to all the action and just a few minutes walk to the beach.

When i got there (at 9am) no one was around and I had to sit outside for about an hour and a half until someone let me in. They knew my arrival time. My room was on the top floor and there is no lift and steep stairs, the 5 bed dorm looks a little like a hospital ward (see pics). There is NO internet access, only wi-fi. From what i remember the showers were not hot and no reading lights or the tv did not work. The lockers will fit your passport and valuables but not a large bag.

Hard to find, but great little place right near the main party street of Phuket and the big shopping centre. Very helpful staff who are happy to book any trips for you. Room was great, curtains around each bed and overhead fans. Clean bathroom. Would definately stay here again and recommend to other people.

more for travelers who want somewhere quiet and intimate then like a uni dorm

The location of Dive-Den is in the quiet part of Patong. its only 5 minutes from the beach and and a stones throw from Bangala road. There are various rooms with AC or without, i stayed at the top floor with a great view , had a fridge and a tv with ensuite,. But the best thing about the Hostel was the staff, friendly and helpful, they spoke english and had all the diving gear and tour bookings you'll need,

I stayed two nights at Patong and I heard the accomodations are generally expensive. So given that, it's a very affordable price for the location. Be warned, it's not the nicest. For the note, I stayed at a shared dorm and was given a rooftop house (5th floor by staircase) with wifi-access only available on the ground floor.
