    The room is pretty comfortable, with good ac and it's clean. Bathroom is also clean and good. They have lockers you can put your things inside. The reception area is also pretty Fine. Hostel is near many places and restaurants. And the owner is such a gentle and kind person, she helped me with booking my bus.

    My staying was just perfect.

    The hostel is small, clean and quiet. It has a well equiped kitchen and spacious rooms with a balcony. In general they already thought about every little thing that a guest may need. However the best part is Gift, the owner, she is a really nice person who loves receiving guests. She helped us out like a five star resort concierge and even gave us a ride! It was one of the best hostel experiences I ever had!

    Nothing.

    Fantastic! The owner is super friendly. She helped me to go to the center and to the hospital. Also, she offers some tours that had the best price I could find. The tours to Surin and Similan islands were super fabulous. I loved my stay in this place.

    Absolutely nothing!

    Very close to the market, 7-11, Tsunami memorial. Great price for excursion to Similan and Surin Islands.... Def recommend Surin if you can only do 1. Short walk to the beach. The owner was super helpful getting a cab, info, tours. There is even a kitchen, if you choose to cook, coffee, tea water,cookies for free... anytime.

    The only bad thing is that there's only one toilet/shower per room. But there is a wc by the reception.

    Really nice hostel. Comfortable beds, everything clean and the location is perfect for going to the beach, walking to restaurants and also very easy to take the bus or book transportation to other places.

    - no curtains by beds - you feel when someone moves in the bed - there are only two dormitories- with 4 and 6 beds; if you get one with 6 beds the lockers are half size of the ones in the other room (I could fit my backpack easily in the locker in small dorm but when I moved to the other one, I could not do it

    - probably the cleanest hostel I’ve stayed in so far (in SE Asia) - very friendly staff - free snacks and drinks (coffee, hot chocolate, water..) available by the reception - small balcony that you can use to dry your things - A/C in the room - plugs and light by each bed - lockers - basic kitchen and fridge that you can use - close to 7- eleven and market (open every second day)

    It was OK. But not enough clean in room and bathroom in the last night when I moved to 6beds dorm. Common space was clean but trash bean was full all the time at the kitchen and there were flies . Lockers are small size. The staff was friendly and helpful. Just behind the corner another hostel and there was more cozy room with more space and big lockers.

    Didn’t really see any staff to help with anything, they offered free coffee but the water was empty :( it was also super quiet but I was expecting that :)

    The location is amazing, right next to Bang Niang market. The hostel is very clean and comfortable and the staff seemed nice, but I barely ever saw them, only when they came for me to check in

    I loved my stay, but still there are few things that can be improved: towels are not absorbing, there are no curtains and drain smell in the bathroom, that can be solved by closing the shower hole with the trash bin.

    Very comfortable hostel. Super clean. There is everything you may need and even more. Comfortable bed and pillow, Snow White bedsheets, spacious refrigerator, kitchen, snacks, drinking water and snacks for free. very nice chilling area, suitable for digital nomads.
