    Very clean, love the privacy you have in your little pod! Cool rooftop also. As a solo traveler, this was not the most social hostel

    the ventilation systems of the 'capsules' was really loud, but you can switch them off, which worked perfectly fine for me (there are two AC's in the room so it was perfectly climated)

    loved the individual 'little' rooms, enough space for my backpack and bag, beach is really close by

    The bathrooms have a few important issues: - the water evacuation is in one shower, so you basically shower with your feet in everyone’s dirty water - the light is a very bad movement detector that keeps turning off (around 15 times per shower) - it’s hard to find a toilet that’s clean, dry and that has toilet paper

    Very nice to have cabins that close, the privacy is really appreciated! Good value for money, and the staff is really nice and helpful. The breakfast is delicious

    When I stayed there (Dec 2024), there was still a lot of construction going on. It felt like I was staying at a construction site, with many workers walking around the hostel all day. As a female solo traveler, it made me feel really uncomfortable.

    Super private pods and really comfy bed!

    A hostel bed that’s more like a mini-room

    The cleanliness in the bathroom could be better, and I get the feeling that too many people are sharing one. It might be a good idea to separate the facilities for men and women, as there isn't much privacy. I didn't like that it's not possible to check out before 7 AM, and a 500-baht deposit is required. This means that if you have an early flight, you’ll lose your deposit. Also, one night, a group of drunk people came into my room, shouted, played music, and talked all night, which is against the hostel's rules. While I know this isn't the hostel's fault, the problem is that there’s no one to turn to in such cases.

    I really like this concept; it's not a typical hostel with bunk beds but offers much more privacy and security. The bed was comfortable, the staff was friendly, and it's in a great location.

    Bathroom and shower , water go in same water bed. So if women cuts their armpit hair it flows from in front of you. If a lazy dude pee in a shower, it goes to your neigbours feet. Every cabinet should have their own water exit.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

    Location and friendly stuff.

    There aren’t many storage options for toiletries in the bathroom.

    Great location near the beach and there are many good restaurants (also a lot of vegetarian options) and activities to do around the hotel. We booked a private room and the room was very clean and comfortable (you could see the ocean from the room which was extremly nice). The beach is 2 Minutes away from the hotel and very good to access.

    Other guests disruptive and noisy through the night and there’s no staff on. Whilst the staff aren’t to blame the lights out policy should be clearer on check in. Bring eye mask and ear plugs

    For a budget stay the capsule option was a nice, clean and the location was great.

    Ceiling is low. If you are 6 foot 2 + you will not be able to use the rain shower. Some noise through the night (noticed on the second night). The noise sounded like a generator or washing machines. Doors from dorm bathrooms banging.

    Private Double Room: Good location, good size room. One minute to beach, walking distance to restaurants, shops. Restaurant on bottom level very convenient. Would do a short stay again.

    Often people were very loud at night which the hostel can’t really do much about and is probably likely in a hostel in the first place. The mattress was a bit hard

    I loved how everyone has their „private“ little room inside the actual room. If you are looking more for staying by yourself this is great and if you crave privacy. However, If you want to socialize a lot this might not be the right hostel. Everything else I loved though! The staff, the facilities and the location :)

    Nothing - little bit further out of the main strip but easy walk and meant you didn’t have noise waking you up in the night :)

    The hostel was lovely and clean, great beds with loads of privacy! Also did amazing food especially for breakfast - showers and toilets were clean!

    It was advertised as a co-working digital nomad style hostel but the place was still under renovation meaning the co-working space was not yet available and the construction was so loud it made recording podcasts/zoom meetings very difficult

    Rooms very comfortable and best capsule hotel I’ve stayed in

    Slightly out the way of the action in Chaweng, no elevator and a decent climb up the stairs with your bags (is the option to leave downstairs but unattended and didn’t particularly feel safe). Common areas weren’t the cleanest but have certainly seen worse as well.

    Cheap and cheerful! Pod was comfortable for what it was.

    No warm water in the showers on our floor (the floor above had warm water but nobody told me before and so it took a while until I figured it out), bathroom gets really dirty until the end of the day and toilets run out of toilet paper

    Capsule rooms were big and gave a lot of privacy, you could also lock them separately

    Unlucky to live with guests that smoked a lot, bit of a smell in our room. Thats Thailand for you.

    Good location, close to the beach but no noise from bars or nightclubs. Nice common area at the roof. Big bathrooms, everything was clean. The capsule beds are ok, it was nice with a window. Big enough for 2 people. The staff was super, especially the guy working evening shift.
