Visitor Reviews

Very nice little hostel with a perfect location near the old town, at the end of the Sunday night market walking street. It's a relatively small and quiet hostel so not a big party hostel, but does have a nice space downstairs to relax and socialise with other guests. They have a small kitchenette available to use with free coffee and water, free towels and decent WiFi. The dorm room is clean and comfy with a good curtain, personal light and a locker just outside the room. It does front onto the street but it's not too busy so there's not much noise at night. The bathrooms were nice and clean and the showers worked well too. Last but not least the owners and staff are all very kind and helpful and have put up a lot of useful information on the noticeboard and will be happy to give you a bunch of tips and recommendations too! Overall a great stay and highly recommended:)

Actually the nicest people I’ve ever met. I forgot my camera in my bed and they brought it to the pier before my boat left and wouldn’t accept payment. The place is clean and the people are the nicest. Thank you for bringing me my camera, I’ll always remember your hospitality and kindness :)

Fang was a very cool employee and did a good job in advising us and giving us Tips for our Trip and where to go. The hostel is a solid one and the people are also quite nice. Rooms are clean, bathroom is OK if you're used to european standards. Would book again!

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.
