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

Pool Villa Doesn't Mean Expensive
