Crown Hostel, Phuket

When we arrived, the first thing we thought was this looks abit grubby. We walked up the narrow stairs to the reception area, where the receptionist greeted us. We asked to look at the room before paying the remaining balance and he got very annoyed saying "if you don't like it where you gonna go". We insisted on looking and thank god we did. We were offered a twin room with not very nice beds (although we booked a double room). The receptionist told us "we don't have any double rooms". There were no safe deposit box and I didn't fancy staying in this hostel so we left straight away. I would like to add we turned left at the bottom of the stairs, walked right to the end of the street and found a lovely hotel which had only been open two months and were offered a double room overlooking the mountains.
