Visitor Reviews

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely recommended! Top cleanliness throughout the hostel and a great location right in the heart of Chaweng. The capsules are more than sufficient, very comfortable, and offer a surprising amount of privacy. The staff is extremely friendly, helpful, and always in a good mood – you feel welcome right away. I originally planned to stay for just one week but ended up extending my stay by two more weeks – and maybe I’ll extend again 😉 The beach is only a few meters away, and the rooftop terrace is perfect for chilling, relaxing, and meeting people. I would definitely stay here again!

Would definitely recommend this place! Right next to the beach, all facilities close. The staff is very friendly. Rooms and toilet/bathroom facilities are clean and the roof terrace is a nice extra. The rooms are kept at a comfortable temperature and the 1 pers pods provide a lot of privacy. Absolute 10/10!

Bert nice hotel. Daily cleand and extremely welcoming personal. We got a spacious room on the 3rd floor. It’s next to the beach and a good restaurant (crystal resturant) that’s like 60thb for a meal. Very happy overall

Tips for Visiting Hotels & Resorts

Book Shoulder Season

May–June and September–October offer dramatic discounts (30–50% off peak rates) with fewer crowds. Weather is mixed but rarely a washout — afternoon showers clear quickly.

Compare OTAs and Direct Rates

Always check the hotel's own website after finding a rate on Agoda or Booking.com. Many Thai properties offer a best-rate guarantee or throw in perks like free breakfast when you book direct.

Pool Villa Doesn't Mean Expensive

Private pool villas in Krabi, Hua Hin, and Chiang Mai start around 2,500–4,000 THB/night — a fraction of Bali or Maldives prices. Search specifically for 'pool villa' to surface hidden gems.
