Box Poshtel, Its average in terms of look and feel, You may like their ambience of restaurant, But ventilation wise room had some problem and it felt bit cramped up, For bike rental and other service of restaurant is superior, Staff are friendly. Reccomended only for visit to dine and rental of bike not for stay.

One of the nicest hostel that I’ve ever stayed at in Thailand! The ladies at the reception itself were also really friendly and very helpful! Place is also very chill as well and you can get drinks at a reasonable price too! Rooms for a night isn’t too expensive as well!

The rooms are very narrow, there is little room to move around and the heat is stifling despite the small fans installed in each bed. However, the sanitary facilities are a real plus! (spacious, equipped with coat racks, soap dish, and mirror in the shower), as well as outside. Perfect for resting for a few days. Few people, and quite far from the activities as well as the beaches, however smiling staff!Too bad there is no space to stay in the evening apart from the dormitories. We were forced to drink at nightfall in nearby bars to have somewhere else to relax and chat other than in bed.3 stars
