All guest rooms at the hostel are fitted with a seating area. Rooms are equipped with a kettle, while some rooms include a kitchen with a fridge and a microwave. All rooms at The Rock Samui Poshtel Lamai Beach have air conditioning and a wardrobe. Was absolutely incredible Stayed as a solo traveller who has stayed at a LOT of hostels and this by far was one of the nicest ones. Very laid back vibe and all the staff were so lovely. It's a mixed use hotel with small rooms, the dorm rooms and villas so you will see a variety of guests from young families and young travellers. The outdoor spaces such as the terrace, pool and beachside area are fantastic. The area is really nice, on the edge of Lamai beach its a very easy walk or scooter into the main areas of Lamai beach and a 20 minute scooter to Chaweng or fisherman's village

The accommodation provides evening entertainment and a tour desk. It is nice small hostel far away from party side of an island. Lady and guy are taking good care of their guests. You can rent a scooter there - recommended. 10-15 min away 7/11, and few restaurants. Nearby really nice „Cool Bar” at the beach. Guy took us to ferry and show where to check in and where to go. If you look for peace and quite place its perfect.
