    Perhaps a little loud a night but this was not a problem for us.

    Great value for money in a clean and comfortable room where we felt immediately at home. Double room was small yet had enough storage space for both people’s belongings to be out of our backpacks. Staff were very friendly. Great location right in the heart of Koh Tao, walking distance to everything we wanted to. Loved our stay here.

    The hostel isnt very social. Until 1 am you hear the music from the bars, so bring some earplugs then its fine.

    Basic but nice and clean rooms. Very good location.

    Very loud. A large bar / club right outside. We’ve stayed at “loud” hostels throughout the trip but this one is just outrageous. If you’re gonna get battered every night then it’s great. If you have an early flight / activity at any point. This ain’t the one

    Good location if you go out every night. Rooms are decent.

    There was mouse droppings on the shelf of my bed when I arrived, door to the room also did not work with keycard so the only solution was to leave it slightly open for everyone to get in and out.

    Really nice location and rooftop!

    the smell of the bathroom would get into our room when the door is left open.. with the door closed and aircon running, it was perfectly fine. very tight space, dark. overall not so bad, comfy bed and bed space. nice night light. although the curtains were very see through.. shower and toilet were ok. pretty decent.

    the beds were very comfortable. the location was great. in the middle of busiest part of the island.

    There is no shared rooms! The bar downstairs is good but if you don’t eat nothing you can’t sit there

    If you want to be near the party’s this is the hostel! But you won’t have a minute in peace! Also get prepared, the room smells alcohol.

    That on my last night i wanted to pick up laundry. On the desk said receptionist there till 20.00, and when i came there a little before 8 there was no one there. When I waited to pick up at nightshift at 23.45 there was also no one there. So I've waited till late knowing ill have a early ferry and than still have to get up earlier cause you do not uphold to what youre saying. A bit of a shame

    Beds are perfect, location is good!

    The bathroom is very tiny and water leaks through the door and into the bed area. -the bathroom also smelt a little bit and was very dark. (not a major issue) It is very very loud until 2am when the club across the street shuts- this is not the hostels fault and in all fairness the music is generally good. Bed time=dance parties :) Breakfast is advertised but is in fact non-existent.. there are however loads of cafes nearby.

    The private room was modern, had a tv and air conditioning. The location was great for getting involved in the local night life. The staff were really friendly and efficient!

    There is no A/C in the common areas, is not a very sociable hoste and rooms are very dark.

    Staff very nice and helpful, close to the beach, the 7eleven and all the restaurants, bars...a Lot of showers, everything clean, and room to hang your wet clothes. It Is true that there is noise because of the bars in the same street (even though it wasn't a big problem to sleep), so if you are looking for a quiet place this is not. But if you don't hire a motorbike it is in a great location to reach everything by walking.

    Being located right in the middle of bars did make it noisy at times, but I wasn’t too effected. I also didn’t see too many people in the hostel, except those in my room so it was a bit quiet in terms of socialising.

    Loved the modern interior and comfortable beds. The rooms were very dark, but I didn’t mind. I liked how close it was to the beach, the cleanliness of the overall space and wonderful attainable staff.

    However, the rooms were tiny, much smaller than portrayed in the photos, which made it very difficult to move around in them.

    The staff were extremely friendly and helpful and the rooms were really clean and comfy. The hotel was also in a good location and good value for money.

    just 4/5 toilets, for the whole building. small showercabins. no aircon in common area and bathrooms so can be warm sometimes. shower pressure is not very strong. rooms smell kinda musty. no space to pack your bags within the room, have to do it in the hallway but there’s no aircon over there so can be very hot. not very social.

    location was good, close to the beach, restaurants and a 7 eleven. did like the beds, were very comfy and there was quite some space to put your stuff close to your bed. power outlets and light near bed were pretty convenient as well. big lockers to put backpack/suitcase in.

    The only thing is that it is close to the clubs and the music is very loud even when you are lying in your bed. So keep that in mind when booking it.

    Good hostel, close to the clubs, decent showers. You have a nice big locker outside the rooms. The beds were comfy enough.

    It was very very loud in my room. The staff did warn me when checking in but it was a little late by that point. There is a club next door which was going all night.

    Very comfy and clean room, Aircon was cold and such a good location, close to everything.

    Very Loud … the bar opposite doesn’t stop playing their music until 2am every night and the rooms don’t seem to block any of the noise. You need to bring ear plugs and or even better noise cancelling headphones

    Clean, comfy and safe this was a great hostel in a brilliant location in the heart of Sairee beach
