“Great Amenities and cheap prices, but subpar rooms.”
Amenities are great, and there are lots of travelings to interact with. Seemingly a lot of the travelers were french for whatever reason. Free drink when you check in is also nice. Thai bar staff are very friendly

“Black mold!! Dangerous to health”
Problem 1. All rooms (this applies only to the cheapest rooms with shared facilities outside) are covered in Problem 1. All rooms (this applies only to the cheapest rooms with shared facilities outside) are covered in black mold. Water drips from the air conditioner onto the windows, and everything is rotting with mold. When we moved in, we started to choke at night. When we turned the mattress over, it was covered in black mold, and so were the pillows. Problem 2. The bed linens were poorly rinsed, and they smelled very strongly of laundry detergent. It took us half the night to move to another room. The rooms with facilities inside did not have this mold problem, but still, all the bed linens smelled unpleasantly of detergent (the chemical smell of poorly washed detergent caused allergies). Problem 3. After a night without sleep, we checked out at 1:00 PM instead of 12:00 PM. The administrator said they wouldn't return our deposit and that we had to pay for this hour as if it were a full day. We had to argue for a long time - it was terrible. The night staff were polite and moved us to a different room, which gave us the opportunity to sleep for at least half the night.

I had such an amazing time staying at this hostel, is super fun, there’s always something going on at nights and that makes very easy meet people . It has a small gym but perfect for workouts, swimming pool, is in front of the beach The bar is a highlight too, the food is delicious, and I have to say, it’s the best khao soi I’ve ever tried. I’d come back without thinking twice!
