    Only stopped here one night but found the place to be ok. It did feel abit like they'd crammed as much in as possible. No common area and had to eat or drink only stuff from their cafe. Dorms were comfy if cramped with very thin divides between the beds but I did sleep fine. Bathrooms were good. Great location only a few minutes walk to the beach with plenty of bars and restaurants nearby. It's s a working beach/harbour so prob best as I did hire a bike as only costs around £5 and better beaches 20-30mins away.

    The bathrooms were mixed, but other than that the rest was great!

    The location was great, it was by the pier, there are a few shops and restaurants around, is very close to the beach too. The beds were super comfy, bedrooms and bathrooms were clean, the food at the hostel’s bistro was great, freshly made. I also liked that a towel and the bed linen were included. The AC in the bedroom was fantastic! I also liked that the the bathroom was apart from the bedroom, it is great so you don’t disturb your roommates. The staff was super friendly and helpful too!

    Best hostel in Koh Tao

    The main thing would be the plumbing in the bathroom, meaning that you can often smell a bit of sewage in the showers. Fair warning, when you close the curtains in your room, it is its own microclimate.

    I had a great time at this hostel to the point that I extended multiple times, ideal for a good place to be, nice and social but not a party hostel.

    Everything is so clean, and the room was quiet, very good for the day you need a rest. When you wake up in the morning there is coffee shop just right downstairs. Very convenient to get to the pier and staff were lovely!

    Good location, near by the main pier and just a few steps to the beach. Quiet room, clean and comfy. Staff were lovely and nice cocktails bar downstairs if you are looking for one. All activities you need just head to the reception, and they can arrange everything!

    Nice location. Every interesting place are walkable. The hostel, room and toilet are clean and there is housekeeping cleaning almost every hour. If you are the one who love to do activities, there are plenty of it the hostel can provided such as hiking and snorkeling around the island. Staff were lovely!!

    The door to the toilets was broken, therefore we had to go all around the building to reach them.

    The common area is also a cafe/bistro wich can make it a bit more difficult to meet other hostel guests.

    Great beds, its really quiet so perfect when you want to have a good night of sleep. The staff is great! The good combination between chill but also having social moments. The hostel also does a lot of activities wich you can join. Everyone also gets a locker, they are pretty big so can easily fit a big backpack.
