    The pool didn’t look clean during my entire stay, I’ve attached a photo. Also I was in the first room upstairs, and the toilet door handle was broken and needs fixing. The door to enter the dorm was also broken so the door was always open which didn’t feel that secure.

    The beds were some of the best I’ve stayed in in all of south east Asia. Nice double beds for each dorm bed booked, and they have a clean white duvet and clean crispy sheets, also full curtains. Sort of like a pod.

    First experience of a hostel. It was clean and tidy, bed was comfy. It was just a little noisy with others coming in late but I guess it's to be expected in a hostel. Over all, great value for money

    The bathroom space is wild like the shower is over the toilet so the seat is permenantly soaking. the communal space didn’t feel clean at all around the sink and bathroom and I don’t think the room as cleaned the 2 nights I was there. Maybe if there were other guest it would have felt different. If you are a light sleeper too, there is a nightclub behind it which I was unaware of until I arrived meaning I woke up a few times a night to music- you could do with ear plugs

    It’s off the main strip of chaweng so you have absolutely everything you need within a short distance of space. The little pod you stay in is actually dead comfortable and it has a curtain

    There were lots of mozzies in the room, not staffs fault but it might be an idea to put mosquito nets around the bed. The mattress was rock hard and not very comfortable but the pillows were good. We were separated from the bar and pool area by only our bedroom door and the bar played music until 4am. We were happy we were here for only 1 night.

    We stayed in a private double room with private bathroom. The room was large and was clean, as were the bed sheets. However, they've clearly struggled with mould, and the room and bathroom had a strong smell. There is a lack of ventilation and no windows. When the staff member initially brought us to the room, she told us to leave the door open for a while to let some air in. There is aircon which is good and the location is good.

    Don’t expect to get any sleep without ear plugs, I’ve stayed in a number on hostels on the strip but the noise here is so much worse. The bathroom was also quite dirty which could be improved. The staff member checked me in but didn’t explain anything about the property or my room.

    The location is ideal if you plan to party. The dorms have good storage and big bunks.

    Staff was aware of bed bugs, smelled really chemical when i enterted, “they played dumb” but were going to fix the issue. I come home around midnight, no one i can reach and still bed bugs and a even more chemical smell. Next to that: dirty walls, alot of noise, super shit (and short) bed. Had to find a new place at night and they still charged me the full amount of the first night while reception staff told me they would fix it. What a shit place

    The doors in the female dorms are SO loud. The toilet doors also don’t shut properly so barely any privacy. There is a club that plays loud music until 5am & I even heard the vibrations through my noice cancelling headphones which are overhead and had to wear all night. Mattress is also super hard. I suppose you get what you pay for.

    It is impossible to sleep there. The hostel is attached to a night club and the music so loud that the floor is shaking on the low beats. In addition, to that the airport is near and everyone there are planes flying over your head VERY loudly. I don’t know for whim this place might work but if you plan to get some sleep would not recommend

    Nice location, right in the city

    Super loud till 04:00 am. Loud music playing from the multiple bars and clubs right outside, aswell as planes landing right above you every 15 minutes. Annoying Brits stayed in the room with us, they left used condoms on the floor and were generally obnoxious. They started playing UK drill right outside the door at 09:00 and singing along.

    The location is good, right next to Chaweng beach and ARKbar which is a beach party place.

    The beds, but you get that alot. The staff are super super super laid back. Again you get what you pay for. I couldn't find the off light switch for the.main light, that was on for ages.

    Was not aware there was breakfast, was not informed when arrived. The only positive thing I can say is I was allowed to wait while I planned my next move. That is the only reason you haven't scored lower

    Damp and mold in private rooms

    • Deluxe Double Room

    • Submitted from a mobile device

    Booked the private room from 17th to 21st, checked out on 18th due to bad smells of damp and drains. There was a lot of mold around the bed and got some on the pillow from the head board. Due to this, I was moved to a Dorm room which we had to ourselves which were much better. Moved to the next door private room but suffered same conditions so checked out immediately and went elsewhere. If you suffer from any respitory issues such as asthma, do NOT use the private rooms as the damp and mold will affect you massively. There is a nightclub next door and the music is loud and bassy until around 4 or 5am which isnt an issue for me but if youre a light sleeper, this will be a problem. Also, youre under a flight path from the airport and the take off is very loud too, didnt bother me but its something to consider. Staff havent responded to me or Booking.com regarding a potential partial refund due to poor room conditions so paid out around 140GBP for 1 night in a dorm room. Finally, the toilet roll dispenser is on other side of the wall of the toilet, the placement of it is just a bit bizarre. Not a fan of leaving negative reviews but I feel I must warn anyone with potential health issues and advise its probably better to use the dorms instead. I will add that the staff were nice about it and was apologetic when i was checking out and did what they could to move me to another room but the damp and mold is a big issue.

    Staff, pool and location. The resting area outside is quite nice and relaxing.

    The airplanes are loud, once I was asleep I didn’t hear them as they are not regular, but if you’re a light sleeper …

    The smell of the room was terrible because of the bathroom, we had to buy spray to hide the smell The rooms are not insulated for noise. We could hear 100% of what was happening outside Staff members came into our room although we were in it, twice (2 different days) On our last night someone was apparently fixing a door on the room above us, at midnight, which made a lot of noise so we had to call reception to make it stop

    Location next to the main road was nice, the private room was really big
