I cannot say enough good things about this hostel. From the kind and caring and helpful owners to the facilities, 10 stars. The hostel was clean, modern and comfortable. The laundry downstairs is very convenient. You can also rent bikes directly from the hostel as well as tuk tuk transfers. Snorkeling equipment is free. This also is a quiet hostel, although social. NOT a party hostel, which I loved. I also loved the huge lockers in the room. I felt safe, secure and so supported in my stay! Great, quiet location while be close to everything.

Got a private room at White Jail, and delighted with the room size, layout and facilities in the room (Fridge, Kettle, Cups). Even had a small couch so we could hang out after long day on island. Reception was AMAZING, and manager was FANTASTIC making us feel welcome, and helping us at every turn. Simple breakfast available to hang out and chill in the morning, and lots of public spaces to lounge. Due to local monsoon, ferries shut down for 2 days. Close enough to pier so we could walk down, confirm delay, and walk back and extend stay with no trouble. Booked snorkeling trip for us that was superb. Our 4 night stay became 6 nights, and could have easily stayed longer, and had emotional departure when we finally left.

All hostels in Koh Tao

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.
