It’s accetable, not expensive. I live in a no air condition room. It takes about 15 mins to Alona beach by walk!

Nice hidden hotel
Hotel was nice. Room was tiny but it was clean and pretty well maintained except for my ceiling fan which didn't work, at least my room had A/C.

Roaches for roommates
Dirty. Several Roaches in the room every day. Lots of mosquitoes because of bad guttering in the roof there's water pooling all around the rooms and mosquitoes breed. There was no housekeeping at all during the stay. There is no hot water. Room is tiny and there's no Hangers and not even a rubbish bin. WiFi only in the smoking area so if you want to use WiFi prepare for second hand smoke. Would not return.

High End Backpacker Heaven
I actually came back to Dormitels after trying to save money somewhere else on the island, but comparing it to what I had just gotten at Dormitels for $9 i was wishing I had never left. The guys that work there are super nice, one of them lent me his guitar for the week which is one of the main reasons I came back. I performed with it at a nearby Alona Beach bar after I was able to practice. I had my own room vs a dorm and it was clean with my own shower. Very basic upgrade..not a Hilton or anything but really great for a high enbackpacker budget. Also next store is a great eatery that sells vegetarian Filipino food and toiletries. And down the street are nice reasonable restaurants amd cafes which id recommend cuz Alona beachfront anything is 3x anywhere else in town.

Budget accommodation
Dormitels is good for those who just want a place to rest their head. The room was very small, the bed was a little uncomfortable, the toilet smelt pretty bad and there were a LOT of mosquitos. In saying that, Alona Beach is very expensive anyway so it was good for the price. The aircon was great and there were cute puppies everywhere.

One pays way too much for this un inviting room
Hard to find as it was not on the street of the address good ven but down a poorly maintained rutted road. The area around the room wing was very much unkept and resembled a landfill. My room was not cleaned during my three day stay and basic toiletries like soap and shampoo was not provided. I had to go to the front office to ask for toilet paper upon first arriving. The towel was small and thin. No breakfast was not ncluded.

Simple and inexpensive
This is THE budget hotel for Alona beach area on Hotels.com. Not much more than a bed and a bathroom but at around$12 it's not overpriced like all the other places. Staff were helpful, good wifi ( one location) nr beach, also have m bikes for rent, quiet area, good value but def not fancy.

One of the cheapest deal in Alona
the staff is very friendly, the hotel is quite new and clean, the room is small but for this price, you can't expect anything bigger. The only problem was the flying insects when we arrived inside the room.

Dreckiges Zimmer
Bett, Bad und das Zimmer an sich war alles andere als sauber. Viel Sauberkeit hab ich nicht erwartet, Aber so sehr hab ich mich bisher nicht vor etwas geekelt wie hier.. Die Unterkünfte müssen definitiv mal renoviert/gestrichen werden.. Im Bett waren außerdem kleine Kriechtiere, so alles musste erstmal mit Insektenspray eingesprüht werden.. Das war auf meiner Reise die schlimmste Erfahrung und rate jedem davon ab..

Für Kurzurlauber eine Unterkunft
Dieses Hotel ist eigentlich nur eine Schlafunterkunft für Kurzurlauber. Viele Ameisen im Zimmer und im Badezimmer. Wenn jemand überhaupt keine Ansprüche bezüglich Komfort hat, ist er hier richtig.

Pretty close to the alona beach. 10min work to the beach so very connvinient but silent at night. Staff was nice and reliable. Room and facilities are very basic no airconditionin, no wifi in the room ,cold shower. But you can use wifi in the lobby area and was very good connection. For this price, it was very good overall.

El mejor precio
Hotel nuevo, en el inicio de la playa de Alona, al estilo de las cadenas hoteleras low cost. Cogimos habitación con ventilador y agua fría. Habitaciones pequeñas, limpias y confortables. Baño con ducha integrada, presión, toallas y jabón correcto. Cama cómoda. Wifi correcto aunque puede que no llegue bien en las habitaciones de la punta. Personal amable. Excelente relación calidad precio. Repetiríamos seguro. Ideal para presupuestos ajustados.

후기
위치: 내가 탄 택시의 기사가 위치를 알아서 헤메지 않았지만 직접 찾는다면 찾기 쉽지 않을듯. 서비스: 직원들 친절함. 택시호출가능. 알로나비치: 도보 10분 정도인 듯. 그러나 더운 날씨 생각하면 자주 왔다갔다 하기엔 가까운 거리는 아님. 시설이나 청결 상태에 개의치 않고 "혼자" 여행중이며 여행비 절약을 하고 싶다면 추천.

Småt, okay, meget dyrt
Værelserne var meget små! Med 2 store rygsække + håndbagage var der ikke særlig meget gulvplads tilbage. Der var utroligt lydt. Man kan lugte hvis nogen røg, det kom ind på værelset. De brændte affald af lige udenfor dørene, som gav giftig røg. Håndvasken på toilettet sad ikke 100 % fast. Der blev ikke rengjort, vi ventede 7 dage, vores gulv var fyldt med sand og sengetøjet var fedtet og vores håndklæde var blevet lysebrunt, vi gik til receptionen og de sagde at man skulle selv bede om rengøring hver dag hvis man ville have det. Det havde de bare ikke sagt da vi tjekkede ind.

Bon rapport qualité-prix pour petit budget
Une chambre simple très bon marché. Lit double, ventilateur au plafond, salle de bain privée. Bonne qualité pour le prix très économique, mais donc il ne faut pas s'attendre à un palace... 5min à pied de la plage. Le wifi était disponible uniquement à la réception le premier jour sur 5 au total. A recommander pour les petits budgets.

Это не отель, а маленькая комнатушка с душем. Условия спартанские, если вы любите и цените комфорт, то не стоит выбирать это место. Комната очень маленькая, помещается только кровать и маленький столик. И все, больше ничего не помещается))) Горячей воды нет, вай-фая в номере нет, только на стойке ресепшен. Естественно, будете жить в гармонии со всеми насекомыми и другими живностями, которые заходят пролезть через приличную щель между дверью и полом. И домик из гипсокартона, все прекрасно слышно, но особо никто не шумит. Несмотря на все это, мы остановились в этой комнате на 18 дней и не жалеем. Здесь останавливается очень много иностранцев и номера практически всегда заняты, невзирая на такие условия проживания. Если вы хотите сэкономить на отеле (по нашим расчетам это практически самый дешевый отель рядом с алоной) и получить больше впечатлений от отдыха, то приезжайте сюда! Расположение хорошее, недалеко от Алона Бич, но на гугл карте на этом сайте оно отмечено неправильно! Поэтому руководствуйтесь адресом.
