    Really social feel with the communal pool area. Perfect location for the pier to Koh Phangan, which was the only reason I was there.

    The hostel was n a very quiet location, some may enjoy this for a more quiet stay

    The hotel staff were lovely and really accommodating. The hostel had a decent sized pool and nice areas to sit at.

    Nothing, it was great!

    There was plenty of room to socialise by the pool and by the pool table, there were also plenty of chairs outside to sit and call back home for a bit of privacy, it was also just off the main road which made it feel really safe and relaxing.

    I didn't find the area around very interesting, if you're staying longer than one night, but it could be a launch point to visit other parts of the island. I would have appreciated if they had a water jug to refill water bottles.

    Perfect for a one night stay before leaving from the Samui Airport. Was easy to arrive from the pier and to the airport. It's quiet and clean. Hot water showers. Common area was nice with ping pong, billiards, and plenty of seating.

    Not many eating spots near Hostel. Mon Ami is about 40M nearby. Good coffee with a short menu but good food. The only hostel in Thailand that charged me for a towel? Public transport is corrupt. The hostel, massage spa, restaurant and ferry dock asked if I needed a taxi to airport (1.4 KM). They asked without me inquiring and the price was 300 bht. No Bolt App and Grab is priced about 60 Bht more?? Price gauging at its best. Samui is overrated, overpriced, dirty etc…. I’ll never return.

    Very clean, comfortable and modern dorm. Best mattress in Thailand. Pool available with sitting areas.

    There were no soap in bathroom and it's not super good but it's not critical. There is no wardrobe there (but look at the hotel's name - it mustn't be there I guess :)

    We got not a big simple room with two comfortable beds. The room was clean, bathroom was good. For the price it just meets expectations. Staff is very polite and friendly. It's very convenient place to stay if you are going to Ko Phangan from Haad Rin Queen Ferry, that just in two minutes walk from the Hotel.

    I'd read the reviews about the bed being a bit hard. Only stayed the one night as I was traveling to Koh Phangan the next day. Did have this place booked when I returned to Koh Samui but sadly had to change as the beds are far to hard for me. Only reason for the lower rating.

    Lovely place tucked away from the main road. Plenty of bars near by and great location near to the pier for travel to Koh Phangan.

    The vibe wasn't that good, no activities in the hostel and everyone is just quiet and handling their business. Maybe when I was there there wasn't much to do...or not the right time. But I still recommend it it was in a good location, clean, safe and staffs are so nice and helpful,

    No curtains on the windows in the hostel rooms which meant the sunshine came in and woke you up. Although there were lockers for your valuables and keys to the dorms nobody locked the doors (if it’s even possible) which meant your bags are basically open to anyone rummaging!

    Property came with a pool which was an absolute win, beer at the property was cheap, the staff were attentive and busy cleaning allll the time. A really respectable time curfew for noise and pool access. The receptionists sorted out travel transfers at good prices too! Always toilet roll and a really clean stay!

    The AC dripped, we asked the staff to have it fixed. They fixed it, but it started dripping again in the night. The bathroom wall had quite a bit of mold in the joints. The place is located near the airport, so you will hear a lot of planes taking off and landing (not during the night though).

    We had a special request (stay at the national park) and we came late at night, still the staff did their best to find a solution for us and was very helpful. The yard is very nice and invites to stay and chill for a bit. The room is about a hundred metres from the street, so no noise from there.

    N/A - it is value for money!

    It was very basic, just milk and cereal. But that is exactly what they promised so no complaints.
