“Perfect”
Best hostel I’ve stayed in Thailand. Beds were clean and comfy. We were given water every day. The social aspect is also good with the pool area and large balcony. Location was central. The staff were lovely and let us chill by the pool after checkout.

“Not really a relaxing place to stay unfortunately…”
The room was spacious and there were plenty of hot water! The receptionist was nice but be prepared with translate because they don’t speak English ☺️

Comfy bed, nice staff, bar lady even welcomed us back when she recognised us. Another staff greated us in English when we bumped into him in the city, which was very sweet. Just a genuinely nice place and staff. Free coffee and biscuits, always a plus. Oh few beautiful dogs about hostel, which I love.
