Lovely staff, Jesus and Miss joy are so helpful and help with all your needs wether that’s booking a trip or needing to leave baggage. We checked out at 11am and left bags , were allowed to use the showers etc until we left at 8pm. The people are lovely and we have made so many travelling friends.

This small cozy hostel recently opened and it is run by an amazing Spanish-Thai group of friends. It still misses some commodities, but really felt like home. All staff was very friendly and welcoming. Really a nice vibe! We booked the private room with separate beds, it was way better in reality than it looked in the pictures. Everything very clean and quiet.

We stayed here for 4 nights total, and the facilities were all great! Very clean, great air con, and a nice area downstairs to relax. We also did our PADI course with Buddha dive view so it worked really well with transport and all the other details being organised for us. Would highly recommend staying here as the staff and location are excellent!

The best feature of this hostel is the hospitality of the host. She is a very caring person, that makes you feel at home right from your arrival. Many people prolong their stay here. The other guests are also very nice. Perfect when you are looking for a social, but not loud party hostel. Matresses are also great :) value for money +++

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

Beds were comfy, the common area/restaurant is a great opportunity to meet people. The staff is international and very social and accommodating. The owner hosts weekly events like movie nights or bbq, even though it’s a social hostel it wasn’t loud at night. When i first arrived i was handed a towel and allowed to shower, even though I arrived way before my check-in. Daily cleaning of the dorms. Perfect hostel for backpackers or anyone who wants to meet new people!

The owners as so lovely and so helpful. Beds were comfortable and clean and private. Facilities were great. Free tea and coffee and a fridge. Lovely little balcony area and in a great location, close to everything. Everything about this hostel is perfect. Safe and secure too with key fobs to enter the room.
