    Although a brilliant location, quite far away from the main night life although it does mean you get a good night’s sleep

    Extremely friendly staff and fantastic facilities

    No hand soap in the bathrooms Walk way to the property could be a little more well lit.

    Amazing views and service from staff. Lots of space in the dorm rooms with clean bathrooms & fresh towels each day. Perfect for a more chilled stay in Phi Phi if you don’t want to be woken by loud music every night.

    Absolutely amazing staff. The rooms are incredibly spacious. They clean your bed up every day! Free Biscuits/bread/jam available and free coffee. Such an incredible view with the best sunset spot.

    I can’t say anything that I didn’t like but the commodes could have been spotless rather than just clean.

    Nothing

    Nicest hostel we’ve been to so far - the people were lovely, very sociable, and very clean. The little extras like free tea/coffee/biscuits even toast and drinking water were fab. Also they had cleaners coming in every day and replacing towels etc which meant that everything was so clean. The view of course was also beautiful.

    The only down side slightly is the location as it is quite a walk to the top, so if your going out multiple times a day it's alot of walking. Have to be fit to walk up the hill in the heat.

    This hostel was so clean, the staff were amazing very friendly. The view is absolutely amazing and this hostel it's such a chill vibe, but also seems lots of solo travellers✨

    Although the location is good, arriving there alone is kinda lonely and they don't help you carrying the cases on the way up.

    A lot of space, comfortable beds, beautiful view.

    Note that the hotel is a uphill walk outside of the center - the hostel provides baggage pickup and dropoff. You will inevitably hear the party noise from Tanote Beach (as you will in most accommodations around here).

    Clean, comfortable, one of the best hostels I stayed in recently. A simple free breakfast, drinking water and beach props are provided. The sunset view from the hostel terrace is amazing.

    Sometimes the flash in the toilet is not working but that’s really rarely and then you just have to flush a little more often so not an big issue.

    The stuff is super friendly and helpful! The possibility to have some snacks/ instant noodles led during the day is amazing the view is wonderful and you feel so welcomed. They really clean every day or also sometimes right after you when you Showered so it’s not getting moldy in the bathrooms! Also because it happens people bring sand into the room the floor is beeing cleaned every day.

    You have to climb up on the hill for 5 minutes. But the street is very safe and the location is verynear to the centre as well

    The view is unbeliveable from the terrace. Evryone there is very polite and try to help you in any way possible. They just speak little English, but for the majority you can make you understand. You will find a water purifier so you can fill up you bottle everyday, microwave, bisquites, bread, jam, butter, instant ramen always availible. Moreover in each bathrom there is shampoo, conditionar, body wash and moisturizer to get from the main area! Towels and sheets are changed everyday, the cleanliness of the whole place is on the spot. It's 5 minutes from the city centre by foot a d you have to climb a little, but for that reason is way less noisy than any other hostel on the beach.

    It is totally worth to stay there for the view, but in a few days you will get lazy thinking about the walk up when going back from the city center. Also, a recommendation is to put fans in the common areas, it can get to hot during the afternoon and the only option is to get back to the dorm, instead of just stay in the balcony and appreciate the view.

    Definitely the best thing of the hostel is the view, brings so much peace and it is a bit isolated from the music at night (which is really loud). The staff was super sympathetic and helpful. Rooms are clean and spacious, although I found the lockers a bit small.

    It's a trek up a the hill. No doubt energy consuming in the heat. (10 minute from the village) Upon arrival to the port they send someone down to help carry your bags up- but after 4 days of doing the hill i was happy to move into a resort for my final few days on Phi Phi to conserve energy. A little boring without any social activities to get guests talking, but if you're looking for a super chill, clean and friendly vibe on Phi Phi (hard to find) for such a great price- & your fit enough to do the hill then i highly recommend the View!

    This was the cleanest and one of my comfiest stays in a hostel in Thailand. I was greeted with a lovely hug from the little girl of the owner upon arrival, super sweet. rooms are big and spacious, and the pods are comfy and practical. Snacks, coffee, water etc all provided free of charge as well as essentials such as pest spray and sun screen. Very chilled relaxed vibe. AMAZING view. Monkeys turn up occasionally on the rocks which was a nice surprise!
