The bar was awesome, music with not too crowded. A place where you can smoke and drink which I found to be a rare case. The beds are great and comfy and enough bathrooms to accommodate a lot of people. I slept peacefully despite for which I am very grateful coming from Koh Phangan. And a big shout out to Samui, he was such a chill host. Definetly coming back!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    It was in a great location. Right on the beach. It was your old school backpackers but with aircon. Very basic but very comfortable and a great price. The staff were very friendly and helpful.
