Great hostel, fab friendly staff, great location and all very comfortable and clean. Also seemed very well organised and welcoming. Free breakfast also and laundry on site. Powerful and warm showers. My husband and I (in our early 50s) ended up here on NYE due to lack of availability elsewhere - we were sort of dreading it being the old farts, but were made to feel welcome and no-one batted an eye! Very pleasant experience overall.

Nothing! Thought it was all great and would definitely recommend.

One of the nicest hostels I have stayed in. Female dormitory with great aircon, beds, sockets and lamp. Comfy bed and free breakfast. Toilets/showers were divided into male/female and very clean with shampoo/shower gel provided. Staff were very friendly and offered tours. Also offered airport shuttle hourly for extra pay. Note - need to pay deposit with cash/passport for key +/- towel! Small non-machine gym at the terrace and drying area too for clothes. Would absolutely have stayed again if I hadn't been leaving the country! 100% recommend.

Slightly limited breakfast option but was free!

Hostel was clean and near the night market. The breakfast was alright. I would day it is a quite social hostel.

Would not recommend staying in a private room as it was right above the Bar and very loud. Because the tours were a bit more pricier too book through the hostel a lot of people book with other companies. Thus, it is hard to make contacts in the hostel there. Beds were too hard for my taste.

This is truly one of the best hostels I've even been to, I regret not staying in Krabi longer. Everything is absolutely perfect, and staff have supported my request to change room without questions.

There is very little privacy in the top bed, which led to me waking up to a guy's junk (I don't recommend mixed rooms for ladies!), as he was sleeping completely naked. Staff accepted to move me without questions. There are no loungers in the swimming pool. Breakfast could be improved, but to be fair to them it's all really good for the price you pay.

The Wi-Fi works perfectly, there are plenty of bathrooms with nice hot water, and the staff are always ready to help. They also organize a lot of events, which is great, and even have games where you can win shots or drinks. At check-in, they give you free shot vouchers to use at the bar, which is such a nice touch. Another great surprise was the functional gym on the rooftop—it’s not mentioned on the website, but it’s amazing! The breakfast is good too. They gave me a good discount for a boat tour to visit the 4 Islands. I had a fantastic experience and truly loved staying here. ❤️

I can't find anything to complain :)

Staff were engaging and friendly and seemed to enjoy meeting and greeting people even at a busy moment (Friday night). Well-organized and efficient. Nice to sit on the terrace with beers from the fridge (60B). The dorm was clean, cool (as in air con) and really quiet. The hostel booked me a minibus transfer to Ko Lanta at short notice for a good rate.

I'd paid for my room online so was looking forward to checking in after a long day traveling but I had to go to an ATM to get more cash out to pay the excessive 500B (£15) deposit for a towel and the key. The gym was pretty poor. I don't know if I missed something but I could only see two pairs of Dumbells and not much else.

Best hostel I‘ve ever stayed at. Felt very safe here. It’s clean, nice bathroom, has it’s own room for drying room. Quite a chill hostel, but it‘s easy to get to know people. Slept in a 10 person female only dorm. Comfy bed, curtains for privacy and luggagestorage in the room(you need to bring a lock). They served breakfast consisting of watermellon, pineapple, eggs, youghurt, toast, cornflakes and tiny biscuits. And they have a free filtered water station. They arrange transport to the closer ilands, tiger temple, and railay at a good pricepoint. If you want to party: they arrange nightly trips to ao nang I recomend staying here, and then going on trips to the closer attractions in the Krabi area during the day!

Overall, had a good experience here. Rooms are clean and decent size, with a large space to store belongings. Separate bathrokms for women and men, plenty of showers and toilets. Free breakfast is a plus.

Air con is controlled by hostel, at times room was much too hot during the day. My bed was by the windows and didn't have curtains the whole way round. Would be fine if window curtains actually blocked out light properly, otherwise another curtain for the bed is needed as the light comes through from early in the morning.

Staff super friendly & helpful, the included breakfast, excellent centric location in downtown, clean & quiet all the time, good bed quality & privacy, widely spaced bathrooms, gym, wash / dry room.

Maybe the only downside is that staff does not give enough information about public bus, considering the location is not directly near from the main island attractions like Aonang, so the tours time departure offer is limited , however there are public transport which you can take anytime to connect with just 50 bath in Krabi downtown.

Beds are comfortable. Location is ideal for access to the river, markets and mangrove walkway. The breakfast in the morning was very good. There is a big area for drying clothes. The pool is clean and nice for a dip after a hot day in Krabi. There is a large under bed locker. (bring own padlock) Bathrooms are clean.

The curtains don’t cover the bed so there isn’t much privacy A fella comes in to the bedroom at times shouting about deals on in the bar. Woke me on my first night. The staff on the desk are not the friendliest.
