The hostel is near to the pier so easy walk and it's right in front of the beach with swings too so nice to relax, if u don't want music disturbing u in the night this is best cosy place u can stay at and budget friendly, Go to near by reggae bar near by to watch good Muay Thai boxing , all u have to do is get a beer for 100 baht, and half day tour can be booked in the hostel for 400baht, it's cheap price i must tell u with food and 3snorkelling while 1 is for fantip, Viewpoint 3 is 3.5km walk and it's worth it with 20baht entry fee so happy travelling.

An amazing ocean view & clean, loved it here!”

The rooms were clean, well kept, washrooms could have been cleaner but you’ll find that everywhere in Thailand. The reviews complaining of the noise clearly don’t know Phi Phi, it is a party island. Almost everywhere you stay that is close to town is going to be loud. Being on the pier beach the noise is a lot less and ends a lot earlier then anywhere else on the island. The staff was helpful and has many services, the spa next door gives the most amazing massages and the hostel even provides free water, biscuits and coffee!! Its a simple, clean place and I was so impressed by an ocean front, beautiful view for this price. Can’t wait to come back!

Great location, just a few steps from the beach front. ”

Music will be played until 1am so expect that but it's not terribly loud as it's in the quieter side of the island. 15 minute walk to the party hostels. Hot showers and comfortable beds. Walk to the toilets were a little further than usual. Staff were helpful if you need to book boat tours. Free water and a little kitchen. Would definitely recommend as it offered good value for money considering the price of the island.

Plywood everywhere”

Poor AC the first few nights. I couldn't escape the heat. When I mentioned to the staff to turn the AC temperature down, I was brushed off initially. But on my third and final night, they hired a guy to fix (i.e. clean) the AC and turned the temperature down. Besides all the plywood and small lockers the staff has a habit of leaving the doors open that lead to the rooms. So if your roommates don't shut the plywood door, you sleep with mosquitos. Premium area though. Only 1 bar playing music to 1 a.m. Whereas everywhere else it's crazy. Close to everything as well (e.g. police, medical, food, etc.). I'd definitely recommend as a smart hostel on an over-crowded party island.

The location is good because the view is a beach. You can work in the downstair and hear the sound from the beach. Downstairs door will close until 10pm, so you can move to work in the upstairs and its good as well to work because they have a long table and chairs, but a bit crowded from the people but its ok if u use headset. The main problem for me only the internet connection, because its not so good but its ok for easy browsing not recommended for do video or audio conference. But for a traveler this place is good!

Great for budget traveler. ”

Had a great stay at Chao Koh Dorm. Don't be too afraid of the 12-bed dorm room as I was in it and had the bed next to the door (worst one basically). I actually managed to sleep well and it was not that bad. The bar next door plays until midnight or so so don't plan on sleeping early. Take that extra time to plan your next stops/watch Netflix or go party! Pros √ AC (a bit too much in my opinion) √ Comfy matress, pillows and good blanket. √ Free biscuits (didn't look too appealing to be honest) and free tea. √ Not a party hostel. √ Bar plays until midnight (which other keep playing until 3AM) Cons √ Common area is really small (almost non-existent) √ Showers and bathrooms are located outside so be ready to sweat a bit (not that bad) √ Kitchen area looked dirty. √ Wifi is terrible.
