The owners were so accommodating and helpful! I feel so at home because of them! They offer free bread, fruits, homemade yogurt, and coffee. They also helped me when I asked them for food recommendations and local travel tips. I arrived earlier than my check-in time and they allowed me to freshen up and leave my bags.

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.

    The staff and the Hostel. Warm and welcoming, clean and modern. I kept extending my stay and stayed for almost two weeks. The ladies that work there and the owner are super helpful and friendly and ready to help with anything. Free filter water and coffee and tea, they have a fridge and microwave you can use and you can do your laundry and use the tumbledryer for cheap. Great mobile coffee van right around the corner. Sunday night street market right behind them. Safe to walk around at night.

    Great location, small social yet quiet no party hostel, met lovely people here. Very good value for money, good aircon, clean, clean bathroom and bedding, very pleasant atmosphere and common area to relax, study, read, work..very helpful and kind hosts. There is a small spa just at the corner run by a sweet lady who also does laundry at a very good price, very convenient. Felt very safe here and slept really well in the female dorm. Locker keys and fresh towel are provided at 300 Baht deposit. I’ll be back.

    Great location. Bed is comfortable, and if not comfortable, you can ask for different mattress or pillow. Clean bathroom. Large hostel so very social. You can meet a lot of new people from here. Cafe just next to the hostel But I liked the very cheap local breakfast just downstairs of the hostel.

    Easily best hostel I’ve stayed in 2 months of travel. The rooms were very private and a great atmosphere compared to the typical bunk beds. Close enough to the city. Quiet when you wanted some quiet in your room and the daily events were great for mingling without being over the top or party centric. Couldn’t of have had a better time meeting new people and finding travellers to do daily things with.
