    The staff was kind and helpful. I could book everything at the hostel from the ferry ticket to renting a scooter. The breakfast was surprisingly great, colourful and delicious so I can only recommend it.

    The hours to order supper, it's only a window of a few hours.

    Breakfast hot and fresh! Balanced and you decide how you want your eggs! Beach only a few minutes away by foot. Bed was ample and comfortable. Supper prices are reasonable to inexpensive compared to other hostels.

    Rooms look a little dreary just being concrete but that's a minor thing. Only a few showers and toilets for the whole hostel.

    Good location, 2 minute walk to the beach and lots of restaurants and cafes nearby. Staff are super helpful and friendly, will help you get around the island and book trips for you. Bed curtains give loads of privacy.

    The aircon in our dorm didn’t work so I was boiling, my friend however didn’t notice so may just be an issue for top bunk. Should have mentioned to staff as I’m sure they would have done something had i mentioned it.

    Really good breakfast, host is lovely and really helpful in giving recommendations/ organising taxis etc. Lots of restaurants and bars to choose from. Hire a moped through the hostel to check out other beaches/towns too!

    The mattresses were really hard and made my hips hurt and I didn’t like the fact the air con went off between 10am and 4pm. This is the hottest point in the day and there was no where to cool down. This made me feel uncomfortable and not being able to get any respite. A better time to turn off the air con would be between 6am - 12pm when the rooms are cool and peoples body temperatures are lower from sleeping etc.

    The location was good - Phrae Ae beach is nicer than long beach (in my opinion). The breakfast and free popcorn was also a welcome addition!

    Not much hooks in the shower, which makes it more complicated to hang your stuff on. Same same but different in the toilette's rooms, a few hooks for clothes and towels at the door, would make life easier :) same applies for the washing basin. Just 2 hooks, isn't enough for the whole floor

    Toilette's, sink and showers are separated from each other, which makes it best for morning use. Breakfast is with lots of variety and it filled you up. Bicycle for free at your disposal

    I would recommend staying here

    • Bed in 6-Bed Female Dormitory Room
    • Stayed 29 nights

    the mattresses are hard and the pillows are worn out, there is only one shower per floor, and it often smells, the sink drains are visibly very dirty, the airconditioning in the room is off between 10 - 4pm and the airconditioning in the public spaces is only on between 10- 4pm so it can get very hot in these places outside of those hours, the airconditioning does work decently well though.

    The staff were very nice and helpful, the beds were nice and wide with curtains for privacy, and there was always drinking water available, I stayed for a couple of weeks and they offered to change my sheets and give me a new towel every week, the food was reasonably priced and very tasty, there are lockers for your things, however they are small and in the lobby. When I left they organized a van for me to get to my next destination and even gave me some small goodbye gifts!

    Only a small locker for valuables, which is downstairs, wouldn't fit my laptop in it! It is very hot in the day in the room when the AC goes off, as there is no fan Location is OK but you definitely need to rent a bike otherwise taxis will have you out a fortune

    Staff are very lovely here, they have free breakfast which is so good, you can book transport, tours, taxis etc at the desk, AC was good, overall very clean and friendly, good bedroom door security/keycard system! They have water tanks, they do lunch/dinner which was really yummy

    Ra at the reception is amazing! She helped me everytime and she was very patient and gave me a lot of advice on Ko Lanta best spots and restaurants. Breakfast was good: fresh fruits, eggs, cakes, the and coffee. You can rent a scooter at the reception (it’s the best way to go around Ko Lanta) Great place!

    No social atmosphere so not ideal if you’re a solo traveller looking to meet people.

    The hostel is in a brilliant location and the staff are so lovely! I found the beds to be comfortable and had everything you needed including luggage storage and lockers. The staff make up your bed every day which was a nice touch and it was overall a lovely hostel!
