Best hostel I’ve been to in all of Thailand! The facilities were clean, they provided larger lockers, free water, fruits, card games, chargers, universal plugs and honest everything you could need. The owner is very sweet and friendly. She made my stay here feel like I was staying at my aunt’s home. AND THE LOCATION, it’s so NEAR to the beach that you can see sunsets every evening from the dining area! Thank you for providing this wonderful chic oasis.

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.

    One of the best hostels I've ever stayed in. It felt like the layout and facilities were well thought through. The lockers, the stairs leading to the upper bunks, everything. Separate dressing room for females. Everything was so clean. Swimming pool, very nice communal areas. Free toast, jam and butter for breakfast.

    The view is amazing where we could watch sunset. Big comfy bed, had some great sleep. Convenient to have a small kitchen area where we could wash up and they provide washing up detergent. Great they give you beach towels and water every day. Laundry service was very handy. Great location with lots of shops and restaurants on your doorstep. Only 3 mins walk to the beach

    The hostel has a common area where it's possible to hang out. Very easy to socialize and meet new people. The stuff was great and there are often actives planned for the evening. I was there for 3 nights and we did a pub quiz and a pub crawl the other night.

    Firstly the dorms are awesome: great AC, really comfy beds, pretty well soundproofed. The toilets are frequently cleaned and I especially loved the showers. Communal area is really colourful and fun. Great location right in the heart of Kata. I think the price was so cheap cause it’s a relatively new place but dang, so so cheap compared to neighbouring hostels.

    the property had everything needed for a fun family holiday. it was kitted out with plenty of amenities in the room including a minibar, safe, beach towels, and even umbrellas in preparation for the sudden rain showers. a great location for a family looking for a poolside getaway close to both kata and kata noi beaches
