Pictures look better than it was. Bathrooms weren’t very clean. Sink was on the balcony and soap was full of dead bugs. Pool was a lot smaller than photos and no seating around. Saw a huge centipede and cockroaches crawling behind the lockers. No locks on doors. Would recommended going elsewhere. Accidentally left something there and didn’t get it back :( Booked 2 nights and was going to extend for 5 and only stayed one night and moved to a different hostel down the road.

You don’t find it under Tropical Hostel on Google, they don’t give you a key so the room is always open. The shower has no pressure at all and if one person moves in the room everyone can feel it. The room itself is nice and clean but I would recommend to stay somewhere else

Overall fine hostel but it was very dirty in the bathrooms. It’s also very inconvenient and unsanitary that there are no sinks in the dorms / toilet (sinks are located outside the dorms). However the beds were comfortable and fitted with a curtain. We also got water on arrival which was good.

Had a great stay! If you wanna avoid crowds, come here and chill. Great Ambiente! Room was a bit stinky and bathrooms could be cleaned more often.

This hostel was a lot more basic than others we’d stayed in, but the staff were so lovely and the pool area was gorgeous, it’s so jungley and lovely break of shade where Phi Phi doesn’t often have. There’s a swim up bar which is very cool, not too boujee just a vibe. They split me and my friends up into two rooms, which I didn’t love as a three, but the guys in my room were lovely to be fair. I didn’t love the shower as it was quite dark, but the sink and mirrors are on a balcony whi...

Ame el hostal! Nos recibieron con café, leche galletas ,agua y así nos despidieron también ! Los cuartos amplios, lindos, la piscina genial! No duden en hospedarse acá. Volvería sin dudarlo

J’ai adoré car j’ai déjà fais d’autres auberges à phiphi et faut dire qu’elles étaient à chier. Cette auberge vaut clairement son prix, si je dois donner du négatif c’est que le jet d’eau dans la douche est pas super puissant mais c’est la vie sur les îles ! Et qu’il n’y a pas de clé pour les chambres donc c’est open bar mais si vous mettez dans vos casier vous risquez rien. Le staff est superbe, la piscine est dans un cadre très sympathique. Si je reviens à phi...

Translated to English

I loved it because I've already done other hostels in phiphi and I have to say they were shit. this hostel is definitely worth the price, if I have to give a negative is that the water jet in the shower is not super powerful but this is life on the islands ! and that there is no key to the rooms so it's an open bar but if you put it in your locker you risk nothing. the staff is superb, the pool is in a very friendly setting. if I come back to phiphi, I will come back again

Un bon hostel ou dormir, idéalement localisé à 5 10min des rues principales et suffisamment éloigné du centre ou la fête bat son plein. La piscine est vraiment le cœur de cet hotel et ce sera votre principal lieu de rencontre ici. Ma chambre avait un problème d’eau chaude et de pression et ça semble dépendre des jours. Dommage pour ce dernier point.

Translated to English

A good hostel or dorm, ideally located 5-10min from the main streets and far enough from the center where the party is in full swing. the pool is really the heart of this hotel and it will be your main meeting place here. my room had a hot water and pressure problem and it seems to depend on the days. shame about that last point.

Wir haben unser Aufenthalt vor Ort verlängert. Das Personal war super lieb & herzlich. Ich hatte eine Lebensmittelvergiftung und durfte ohne Probleme auch noch nach check-out im Zimmer bleiben bis mein einzel Zimmer ready war. Danke viel Mals für eure Bemühungen, unkompliziert Art und eure Herzlichkeit.

Really awesome place to stay away from the loudness but not too far to walk to main strip. Sort of in the jungle and the atmosphere is 10/10 dorms were not bad either!

Das Hostel war sehr schön. Die Zimmer und der Außenbereich haben uns sehr gut gefallen. Wir haben schnell Anschluss gefunden, da man auf der Terrasse schnell neue Leute kennenlernt. Das einzige was etwas zu bemängeln war ist die Lage. Ich hatte einen verletzten Fuß und dann war es sehr anstrengend zum Hostel zu kommen, da man einen Berg hoch muss. Das war aber einfach eine blöde Situation, sonst ist es trotzdem gut zu erreichen und nicht weit weg von allem anderen. Ich kann es sehr empfehle...

Translated to English

The hostel was very nice. we liked the rooms and the outdoor area very well. we got a quick connection because you get to know new people quickly on the terrace. the only thing that was a little bit complaining about was the location. i had a foot injury and then it was very hard to get to the hostel because you have to climb a mountain. but this was just a stupid situation, otherwise it is still well accessible and not far from everything else. i can highly recommend it.

Loved this hostel! To keep in mind to location is a bit far so it’s perfect if you want to be far from the party area. Perfect if you want some calm but there’s a big chill area so kind of easy to make friends

J’ai adoré mon séjour de 5 nuits à l’hostel. Cet endroit de Tonsai est au calme. Je m’y suis sentie bien, le personnel à l’accueil est super gentil :) les lieux communs très agréables, notamment le bar avec la piscine et le personnel qui ont envie de discuter avec les étrangers. Le dortoir était très bien, très propre, avec un balcon. J’étais presque triste de partir. Merci.

Was quite nervous about staying in a hostel with very little reviews. However we hit jackpot. Decent sized 6 bed dorm, large beds with curtains and lockers. Decent shower and toilet. Little balcony to chill on can’t fault it really. Pool was a good depth and size. It was overall quite chill and a great location.
