Set in Koh Phangan, 300 metres from Thong Sala Beach, Tangerine Dream Guesthouse offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a bar. The property is located 1.6 km from Baan Tai Beach, 1.6 km from Nai Wok Beach and 4.2 km from Phaeng Waterfall. The accommodation provides a shared kitchen and free WiFi throughout the property.

All rooms are equipped with a coffee machine, while selected rooms here will provide you with a balcony and others also have city views. At the hostel every room is equipped with bed linen and towels.

This place is amazing! It’s new, clean, comfy and seems to draw a good crowd. The location is perfect for when you arrive on the island - it’s a short stroll from the pier and it’s centrally located so it’s convenient while you explore and get your bearings during your first few days. What really stands out though is the owners, Christian and Alexa. They’re super friendly and go out of their way to make you feel at home and share plenty of useful advice about the island. This feels less like a hostel and more like your good mate’s place. Do yourself a favour and stay here.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.

    The stay was really good, it’s cheap compared to other places here on the island. The Room is basic but has everything you need! It’s clean in the room and I didn’t have any animals in my room! Soufiane is such a great guy, and is doing everything to make your stay as good as possible!

    Fantastic friendly hostel in a great location. I stayed in the 5 person dorm - rooms were big and clean and the bed very comfy - the bathroom is actually really cool. All the hostel staff are so friendly and helpful and made me feel very welcome throughout my stay. There's a really high quality pool table as well! Will definitely stay at Tangerine Dream again - thank you :)

    EVERYTHING!!! it was welcoming, felt safe, great location, very good value for money, the beds were super comfortable, friendly atmosphere but most of all the thing that really made our stay here special was the host, he was so friendly and helpful, he gave us suggestions on where to go and offered to get tickets for events for us. Absolutely cannot recommend this place enough.
