Chill Inn Lamai Hostel & Beach Cafe

Koh Samui

Chill Inn Lamai Hostel & Beach Cafe features a garden, shared lounge, a terrace and restaurant in Koh Samui. 500 metres from Rocky's Beach and 1.3 km from Natien Beach, the property provides a bar and a private beach area. The accommodation offers nightclub and free WiFi throughout the property. Since the Hostel is located directly at the beach with a small bar you can easily go for a swim at any time or enjoy a cold beverage while looking at the waves. Especially the host, Jim is really adorable. He cares so much about everybody at the hostel so everyone has a good time. Once he drove a girl, who stepped on a sea urchin to the hospital for free just like that. He even organizes trips to go out in the evening together like to a night market or thai boxing. That makes it really easy to get in touch with new people, so I would recommend it especially to solo-travelers.
