You Get what you pay for”

It's slightly away from the heart of chewang beach but if you rent a scooter it isn't too much of a problem getting there. About 7 mins away from arkbar.. room was good, AC was fine, hot water cloud have been slightly hotter, decent bathroom, room had a balcony.. we had no issues staying here. It's a pretty nice place to stay if you don't want to be right in the center of the 'party zone'.. 7-11 is closeby and a short walk away. They also do laundry for a fee at the hostel so if you're staying long that could help.

Very spacious room. Unfortunately the plugs were very wobbly. Also my locker (which is not a locker, but a little bedside desk with one drawer with a locker) didn’t work. Also Chaweng Beach Road is actually just a big construction site at the moment. I was pretty shocked. Not the locals or the hostels fault tough.

I stayed in the 6 bedroom for only 125baht a night. For that price you cant expect any fancy stuff. Yes the bathroom was dirty, no hot water, room was too hot and the room a bit dirty as well. You also only had WiFi downstairs in the common area. But the location is pretty much perfect. Its close to the market, restaurant amd beach. There is an 711 and Family markt closeby and you can rent a scooter for 150 baht nextdoor. And are you really spending much time in your room? I didnt.

I like Samui hostel because I felt like home. The owner was really friendly and kind with me. I arrived early but nobody had checked out so she took care of my bags while I was spending sometime outside. They have a lounge area where everybody can eat, drink, talk and charge their phones. WiFi is good in the lounge area and but in the room were fair enough. I would love to go back to Samui !

1.the nearest distance from the beach 2.the convenient commercial surroundings 3.

The overall staying experience at Samui Hostel is good. The convenient location is the most important point that I want to mention--it just locates near the Chaweng Beach and many shops and restaurant. Waitress do the cleaning everyday and they are nice people. The only thing I may have a complaint about is the water providing system in the room, especially the bath. There's really no warm water in the room, I can never have a warm shower during the 5 days stay at the hostel. I feel a bit disappointed with this. And looking forward to your development of the shower system.

Before I go to details, GREAT STAFF that made an honest mistake and rectified it immediately. Our room was booked out to someone else as we arrived late :( . However the owner put us up at another accommodation with a pool at his own cost (a little further out) dropped us off and took us for dinner that night. He then picked us up the next day to continue our stay back at Samui Hostel. It was NY eve and the family that runs the joint often invited us to drink with them....Thanks guys!!
