Very nice and clean rooms, the owners are lovely and attentive and they have a super cute and excited dog. They sometimes organize reggae concert and free bbq (twice during our stay) which was amazing. Nice and long pool, great location, nice and affordable restaurant area... The best of this hostel is the vibe though! You can see from the owner that he just wants everyone to have fun.

Attractively located in the centre of Chaweng, Blackjack Bar and Hostel features air-conditioned rooms, a shared lounge, free WiFi and a bar. The property is around 2.8 km from Chaweng Noi Beach, 5.4 km from Big Buddha and 5.6 km from Fisherman Village. The property is non-smoking and is situated 400 metres from Chaweng Beach.

EVERYTHING!! Especially the owner Boom and the dorm room. Bed was super soft for a hostel and toilets/shower room were kept clean at all time. Despite being in a centralised location with a lot of bars around. i could barely hear the noise (of course you hear a bit but it wasnt that bad plus i had ear plugs on so didnt get bothered at all). The owner, Boom was very caring and lovely, she will make sure you settle well despite language barrier. She went out her way to check information for me, true thai hospitality at its best! I would recommend to anyone who likes centralised location and party sceneries

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.

    I don’t get all the bad reviews— this place was a fine hostel. The rooms were clean and well air conditioned. The blankets were comfy—beds were a little hard but I slept great still. They provided towels. The showers worked good. The bar is attached to it but it wasn’t too loud and provided a good atmosphere. It’s a little far from downtown but not that bad 10-15 min walk. It’s a perfect hostel for a backpacker.

    The hotel was very modern and it even has a fitness centre which I was missing! We had been staying in cheap guest houses and changing to this hotel was luxury for us. The room was spacious and they make it every day with a change of towels. It's s great location, minutes walk from the main busy road and the beach.

    Very near bars and clubs at Soi Mango. Right smack at Chaweng Beach. Many food options nearby and a 24 hour McDonald's within 5 minutes walk. Spacious room came with fridge and safe box. Many activities to cater to solo travellers. Easy to meet new people. Most of the staff were friendly. Warm water with good water pressure. Super fast internet connection
