You get what you pay for.200 baths in a dormitory, the beds are super hard and don't breathe. But for the price…. Super clean, and the bus drops us off and picks us up right down

Not recommended for tall people.I stayed in a single room for three nights. Basically this is fine for a short stay.However, the joists (concrete beams) are very critical for tall people. I sustained a head injury myself. The sharp edges must be secured with foam or something similar.

This hostel is located near the Tapi River, which runs through downtown Surat Thani, Thailand. It is about a 15-minute walk from Surat Thani Bus Center (Transportation Hub 1 and 2) and a 2-3-minute walk from the night market held along the Tapi River.Even though it is a hostel, it was nice and reassuring that they gave you a card key so you could move safely when taking the elevator and entering and exiting the room.After traveling in the hot Thai weather every day, it was a nice environment to relax in the room with the cool breeze of the air conditioner.The first floor of the hostel is operated as a small cafe, but there is a water purifier and a table where you can drink coffee for free, so I was able to freely drink cool water. And many reasons to come to Surat Thani are to go to Koh Samui and Koh Pangan, and if you book at this hostel, convenient transportation to both islands is provided. I also purchased bus and ferry tickets from this hostel to go to Koh Samui.The staff were also friendly and provided useful information for exploring Surat Thani city center and the surrounding area. There is a restaurant on the first floor right next to the hostel that serves Myanmar food. Currently, it is impossible to go to Myanmar except by air from Thailand, but by eating a meal of Myanmar food here, I felt like I had been to Myanmar in the past. It also brought back memories.The night market is nearby, so you can eat delicious Thai food, and the 7-Eleven convenience store is a 2-minute walk away. In addition, there are many inexpensive and delicious restaurants loved by locals, and there is also a small traditional market selling meat, fish, ice, and other foods.I believe that staying at this hostel is a good choice when departing from Surat Thani to islands such as Koh Samui and Koh Phangan, or when returning from a trip to the islands and regrouping. I'll be back again!
