    Really nice hostel in Koh Samui, strongly recommended for solo travellers! > 4-bed Dorm is space full and you don’t need to climb the stairs (they look like you see them on the picture). Mattress was really good and you have the plug, light next to the bed and curtains. Toilet inside the dorm > Hostel has a kitchen with microwave, water station, kettle, fridge and a common area > nice people and nice service! They can also book the cab to go to the airport (500 bath) > WiFi worked perfectly > Good location and plenty of night markets, restaurants, thai massage shop/spa and gift shops. Really nice and long beach > Cash payments only > No lift, only stairs to go upstairs to the dorms > There are 3 washing machine just outside the hostel + dryer. It’s 40 bath (takes 1h) and dryer is 25bath. They also have rack cloths at the very top of the hostel, so I’d recommend to hang your cloths there, they’ll get dry in 4h as it’s pretty hot

    It was a lot quieter than I anticipated but not bad

    The staff were very friendly and it’s in a central location in Lamai

    Great hostel in centre of Lamai, not far from the beach. Rooms are comfortable and have air con. Common area downstairs is not massively comfortable I will say and if you’re looking for a party hostel this is not for you. Great help from staff in booking tours (with discounts)

    Only one MINOR.... is that it's sooo hot in the other rooms like common room and hallways... but reception is so cool and the rooms! Cafe is slightly expensive but still 10/10 for me and would 100% come back :)

    Everything!

    The common area was hot! I found that despite having the air con on at night it still felt very stuffy/humid while trying to sleep.

    Great location and close to the beach and Main Street of Lamai. There was a good amount of space and shelving for my belongings, even on the top bunk. I liked the room had its own bathroom. Staff were always happy to assist and went above and beyond to help me have an enjoyable stay. Reception was staffed 24/7.

    Nothing. I loved everything about this place!

    I enjoyed everything about this place. The beds were comfortable, I was on the top bunk and didn’t feel like I disturbed the person on the bottom bunk at all. Bunk beds were very solid! The facilities were amazing and the staff were so helpful and friendly. The location was perfect! Highly recommend staying here. I wish I could have stayed longer.

    Bit odd being a couple (in the double bed) and having only 1 other person staying on the bunk beside us (it was a 4 bed mixed dorm). Two sets of bunk beds would have been better.

    Spotlessly clean! Good location.

    Bikes hired from the hostel weren’t great, okay for tiny trips in the local area, but if planning to drive farther around the island you’re better off going to one of the other hire shops down the road for a newer/more serviced one!

    LOVE the rooms here, so spacious and stairs up to the beds instead of ladders makes it so much more comfortable for those on a top bunk. Lots of cupboard/storage space. Also the staff are super friendly and helpful ❤️

    TERRIBLE internet service from the bedroom. Very strong AC and bed linen very thin so I was easily cold during the night. No window or proper space for drying clothes.

    Room space & bed structure were very good spacious. Loved the decoration. Attentive and very kind staff, really!!! Bed linen changed every other day. Common area for dining, studying and playing at our disposal were also super useful.

    Very great location close to anywhere in Lamai beach. For beds per room, every room got aircon and private bathroom. You can book cheap transportation to Surat Thani or Phuket. Tutu car to Chaweng costs 100B , remember to bargain.

    Nothing to complain about!

    Very close to the beach, restaurants, markets and shops. Very clean, well maintained and staff is very welcoming. The beds in dorm rooms are changed regularly if you stay for a few days. Beds are very private with curtains, plug and light. Hot showers. There is a small kitchen with free drinking water, microwave and a fridge as well as a common dining room. You can rent a scooter for a good price and they are well maintained.

    The common aerea was kinda always empty because it was a tough zone and really hot, but still nice.

    The location was good, even tho the busy and party aerea was up in Chaweng beach. The hostel was clean and had all the comfort. I would recommend it

    The beds are a bit hard and the curtains could be better to block out the light.

    Good value for money, clean bathrooms and central location. The staff is so kind and helpful, they were really the best.
