    Overall great social place to stay

    Be aware there are a fair amount of steps to go up to get to the hostel which could be tough for less active people. Also based on my own experience, I was sleeping in a top bunk right under the A/C unit and it was ridiculously cold, so cold I had to sleep with clothes on at night.

    Great facilities with the pool and view over Railay east. Drinks and food also well priced. Pub crawls and pub quizzes are also offered amongst other things which I found was a great place to meet people travelling solo

    The restaurant only opens at 9am which isn’t ideal for someone who wakes up early or needs to make an early ferry but it’s not the end of the world, there’s other restaurants around that are open.

    The pool was great, staff were super friendly and attentive and the buffet dinner was very delicious. The stairs that people complain about are not that bad at all, and there’s a lift for your bags.

    Rooms could be renovated well also the showers. Insıde of the room right behind reception is just too dark that you feel depressed the whole tıme you are ın the room.

    The pool area is pretty good to hangout at. I met lots of people there that I spent my whole time in Railay with. If you are a solo traveler this is a great place to meet with others. The view from the deck next to the pool is pretty cool. I stsayed in the room right behind the reception. The rooms are just okay. Not the best for sure but if you are looking for more for facilities and only a bed then its okay. The stairs.... They are pretty hard to climb especially under the heat but thankfully there is a carrier thing to put your bags so you don't have to carry them up and down once you check in and check out.

    To get that great view you need to climb a lot of stairs :D Some stairs to the bungalows are a bit damaged and could need a little fix.

    Amazing Pool and Views! They organize a lot of Program to make it easy to meet people. Awesome Rock climbing tours can be booked via reception.

    dorms/ facilities are quite dark and old; rubber mattress. the stairs to reach the hostel could be better secured (metal and large gaps). know that you can holla for a luggage lift apparently.

    great pool and convenient location. volunteer staff are friendly. they booked my transfer to Ko Tao.

    The worst thing about this place is the long stairs you have to climb everytime you go there. Its not too bad but youll definitely be sweating after dragging your bags up there. Be careful climbing them drunk

    The view is great from the pool and the staff are super friendly and organising events all the time. The bar crawl was fun. The bed was comfortable.

    Beds were quite hard. The only complaint

    The food served was good, a lot of stairs to climb keeps you fit! Pool was refreshing in the non stop heat/humidity. Showers were hot. Hostel keeps your passport during stay which helps.

    The room felt a bit out dated, mainly the bathroom. Was missing a toilet seat. The shower had one temperature. The showerhead was falling off. The hostel is up alot (!) of stairs, so be prepared for that. Definitely overpriced for Thailand but as the only hostel they can pretty much name their price.

    Amazing swimming pool with great views. Staff was very friendly and will help you book tours and onward transportation. Location is okay, about 15 minutes from Railay west beach (where the long tail boats from Ao Nang arrive).

    Plumbing of the toilet is very poor. Seating at the pool could be updated, the seats are not very comfortable.

    Great location, very nice pool, fun activities. It was a very social hostel, there were fun activities such as a pub crawl. Everyone goes down to the bar outside the hostel at 22 pm so there is no noise at night in the rooms!

    They keep your passport during all your stay and there is no other option. They said that it was in the email but that’s not correct.

    Dorm beds don't have curtains

    The pool is amazing (even if it is freezing cold!!) - super clean and refreshing. Also loved the sun deck with comfy sun lounger-style cushions. Air con in the dorm was great and it was super clean. Bathroom was also clean and shower was decent. Drinks aren't too expensive (definitely recommend the sangria bucket) and there are organised activities every day/night. The boat tour is really good value for money & if you join the events in the bars below you can discounted drinks. There are a LOT of steps up to the hostel but there is a pully for bags so at least you don't have to carry them up if you don't want to
