I stayed there for couple of nights and have to say .. don't expect some friendly assistance there. Cons - BEDBUGS !!! The sheets, towels or the mattress, they don't let you sleep and there are bed bugs both in mixed dorm and my single room. hot shower is not there in all the bathrooms The room does not come with wardrobe or hangers for single room The common bathroom does not place to keep your accessories or clothes The bathroom doors don't close properly The staff are nice people but do not speak English or understand well to help you Pro - you got a fridge to use You can keep your rented motorbike in parking lot You can read couple of books on the table You get a extension cord on request And of all the places , people who want to have night life - this is not a place for you

Its cheap and near everything in old town, but far from patong beach and kata beach!My time , wasnt filled with travelers, so I didnt get the best experience of the hostel, they served good breakfast, also a room to watch tv, and they had the laundry option as well but they left it wet for me to dry!The owners were super nice , but I didnt really like the place but not bad.

Very friendly staff. Free breakfast. Perfect location. Comfortable beds. Affordable rates. They take care of guests requests. It was raining during our stay here and since we couldn't take the Phi Phi Island tour we just stayed at the hostel and my mom decided to do the laundry. They were very kind to assist us with the things we needed.
