Terrific location for the beach view, as well as taxi/songathiew and food/money exchange, etc. Very clean and very comfortable. The owner (Waaw) is wonderful! She is warmly welcoming and expresses interest in the comfort and safety of guests. I was here during Songkran and she gave great guidance on where to go, how to get there. I’m sure Waaw makes any stay at Fishtail feel worthwhile ~ I’ll stay here again, and next time I’ll pack lighter!

Our room was so spacious and clean. Good location, minutes away by car to night markets. There were water coolers at each level for free. There were no lifts, so you should be comfortable walking a few flights of stairs or ask for level 1.

+ Staff, people in this hostel are friendly, 2 nice cats that will make you a company if you’re cat lover; Owner nice guy, ready to help, and respectful to his guests. I met some nice people during my stay, it was nice to chat and have some fun time. Definitely, nice place to wanderers who are free to explore and get to know new people from whole world, cause you can easily meet there different sorts and nations of people. + Hostel provides almost anything you will need during your stay, even if you don’t know that you gonna need that, for nice good deal price. As for me, place is clean and safe, just be careful cause it’s hostel and you never know who’s gonna be your neighbor. I didn’t encounter any issues with neighbors, to be honest I didn’t saw my neighbors in my room, privacy curtains works well. + Location is very nice, close to smart bus from Phuket airport, beach is close, different restaurants, not so noisy in the rooms, and on the front porch, but very close to main street; 7-Eleven around the corner, CB shop opposite to front porch🥰 I am gonna tell there is no elevator, so it can be uncomfortable for elderly or disabled people to get to the room on 4th floor(in my case), but it’s fine, you will do a lot of walking either way if you come to Thailand 🙂 And try to remember passcode of your room after you check in, will be much easier. - Bath Towel badly absorbs water after shower, so I recommend to change them if possible or just bring your own like I did, mattresses quite hard but it’s fine, I had no problems sleeping; If your bed on upper level could be quite uncomfortable to get in or out(so ask for availability, or just warn owner beforehand, he will definitely will look forward to help you);

This is a gem in Pantong. The staff made our stay the most comfortable, cleaned the room daily, accommodated our requests and were helpful at all times. They even carried our heavy luggage up and down the stairs to the froth floor. The room is spacious, the beds are comfortable and there’s a balcony. I value for your money is incredible, highly recommended.

All hostels in Karon Beach

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.
