COMA Lounge & Hostel

Thank you for the hospitality and the great recommendation for a boat cruise. I will never forget it.

I understand its not a fancy place, but they still need to fix things, don't they? Everything is broken, the shower, the bulb……crazy place.

We originally booked here for 1 night but ended up staying another 4 nights. We had our own private room which was basic but all we required. The owner Jason and his wife were very welcoming and were always around if needed, Jason also showed us a map of Phi phi and gave us information on the best places to see whilst on the island. I would happily stay here again if I ever came back to phi phi. The location was spot on being right in the centre of everything. :)

No safety deposit box in private room or other rooms according to others we met in the hostel. A lot of us complained about uncomfortable beds. Hostel has staff on until up 7pm only. Caused us issues when needed to speak to staff after this time. Cleaned room over 24 hours after we requested same. Woke us up one morning to tell us we were due to check out that day despite being booked in for another night. Office was closed in the middle of the day. 6 people were waiting outside the hostel office for twenty minutes for someone to arrive. No apology was given.

Pros: good location, short walk from pier and clubs/pubs on the island Cons: no luggage/bag lockers, small compact space: reception area, room I stayed in and areas to get ready. I understand that Ko Phi Phi is an island, with limited space, hence why the hostel is so compact. Was lucky having a good group of people in my room, honour system with our bags and stuff left on our beds. There are little lockers on the main level to hold some valuables ( ie passport, money, etc) would have liked to see the bathroom cleaned more frequently, or towels for wipe down the washrooms after use for the next patron (there were towels easily available for washrooms on the main level but often were already used)

The newer hostel building is on a very loud street, and there is no common area so guests end up talking until all hours into the night right where you are trying to sleep. We left a night earlier than expected due to excessive noise and puke in the restrooms And the owner refused to give us even a partial refund. Beds are clean and nice, but overall not a great place to stay unless you want to feel like you’re on college spring break in an old dorm room with 20 others.

I stayed at both locations on separate nights. The first night I was in Coma 2 which are pods. Nice AC, two showers separate from toilets, big lockers to lock up whole backpack. This location is more central. The second time I stayed with them I stayed in the triple bunks located at the main reception. The only downfall with these bunks is that when people are checking in early they are told they can leave their bags right in our dorm. So you always have people coming in and out. They offer a very small space to lock up electronics and passport. Bring a small lock . They offer you welcome vodka shots then you can pay 150 baht for a wristband that gives you unlimited vodka shots during your whole stay. Both places are away from the nightlife and have digital locks on the outside doors for security.

The owners are really friendly and they give you some great information about Koh Phi Phi. There are actually two Coma Hostels. The 2nd one is more in the village itself (still quiet at night) and it is not right at the sea. Good location though. There is no common area. You just have your bed. The toilets and showers smell bad. They‘re not cleaned enougeh.

Definitely not a social environment kind of hostel. It's good to sleep and then wake up and leave. The storage area for the bags is outside and when I opened my back pack to pull clothes out, there were little ants all over. The rooms are are extremely tight due to the jampacked/stacked nature of all the beds and have little room to move around especially considering how many people are stuffed in one room. Also, a very bad smell was coming from the second floor bathroom area most of the time and the water shut off mid shower one of the nights and returned while everyone was sleeping. For the price, there are definitely better options on the island. I only stayed an extra night because I didn't make plans in time to move on and didn't want to go through the process of moving my things to another hostel. Beautiful view from the balcony though if you end up in that room.

Für ein Hostel viel zu teuer und doch im Vergleich zum Rest der Insel keine schlechte Alternative...
