Super nice hostel got there and they had a newly opened bar and pool. Staff was super sweet and it was also pretty sociable.

soooo nice love the beds sooo comfy and clean omg. only thing i would say it didn’t feel too social but was such good facilities and omg i wish i got in the brand new pool but didnt have time but looks soooo amazing and big. everything was so convenient. only thing id say is that theres no proper lock on the door u need no key to come in but it feels super safe as u can still lock ur stuff away in the room.

Was expecting a cool diver hostel vibe what I got was a hotel with dorm rooms. No real social area at all. Also doors didn’t lock. Staff were great though

No atmosphere, definitely not social. Booked 8 room dorm but they only have 10 dorm rooms… Otherwise decent

Really enjoyed my stay here the facilities were great and always really clean. It wasn’t very social, but only a 20 minute walk from the area with most of the bars.

Highly recommend this hostel. The rooms are spacious, beds are comfy and quiet, and our dorm even had a balcony which was a a lovely feature. Ensuite bathrooms plus communal bathrooms is a great idea. Staff are lovely, location is great, would stay here again!

Awesome hostel in a super central spot. The pier is just around the corner, and Sairee Beach is an easy walk away. We stayed in a double room and loved it — would definitely come back!

- crumbs on the bed when we first arrived stains all over ‘fresh’ sheets

+ Las habitaciones son grandes, hay espacio para dejar las cosas y está limpio.

- No es un party hostel pero sí tiene un público joven que suele salir de fiesta, llegar tarde, dejar la habitación un poco desordenada etc. El personal no es de lo más amigable (me refiero a los voluntarios trabajando en recepción, la parte del staff tailandesa es adorable).

Pros: - so close to everything, very central, has a 7/11 next door - staff is so kind and has the cutest dogs - probably the cleanest hostel I’ve ever stayed in - dorms are very spacious with comfy big beds Cons: - dorms are FREEZING and cannot adjust the temperature - security: none of the front doors are locked at night and none of the dorm rooms have any sort of lock on them - only 1 small table for smoking/socializing outside so adding a few more would be amazing

Really lovely hostel. Super big rooms and very clean. Stayed in a 4 bed female dorm and was very spacious. My room was very sociable which was nice. The hostel sausage dog was so cute! Only downside was slightly far from main area but bit of walking is okay!
