Situated in Chaweng and with Chaweng Beach reachable within less than 1 km, DK1Hostel features concierge services, rooms, a shared lounge, free WiFi throughout the property and a terrace. The property is around 5.3 km from Fisherman Village, 7.6 km from Big Buddha and 11 km from Grandfather's Grandmother's Rocks. The accommodation offers a shared kitchen, a tour desk and currency exchange for guests. I had a wonderful stay in this hostel well located between Chaweng beach and the main walking street of the entire island. But mostly what makes the difference here is the genuinely and the love of the owner, an amazing woman who puts effort and care for the guests that will let you feel like home. I will keep beautiful memories about her and her welcoming hostel. Thank you!

Set in Lipa Noi, 2.4 km from Laem Din Beach, Baan Hinlad Home and Hostel offers accommodation with free bikes, free private parking, a garden and a shared lounge. Boasting a concierge service, this property also has a restaurant and a terrace. The hostel also provides free WiFi as well as a paid airport shuttle service. Definitely it’s one of the best places where I stayed for the last period. I was lucky and stayed there alone. This place is close to waterfall within 10 min of walk. All facilities need are provided. And the whole vibe of this place was like a miracle and reminded me Bali with its rich nature, amazing sounds of birds, the meditative atmosphere and calmness. No noise, no fear, all is safe, modern. Respects and gratitude to the owner🌸
