Perfect for overnight stay”
We just stayed one night on our way back from Samui and it was a perfect stopover. The hotel is not in a good location to explore Suratthani so only stay here if you just want to get some sleep. there is a small shop at the end of the road (1 min) for drinks and snacks and the hotel sells 3 hot dishes of rice or pasta. the staff were lovely and we paid 400Baht for a transfer to the airport which was very comfortable as the receptionist drove us in her car. The cabins are small but perfectly suitable for 2 people and luggage for one night. The pool side cabins look a lot bigger so I would probably book one of them if I stayed again.

Fine for a quick stopover ”
My boyfriend and I only stayed here for one night as we were catching a ferry to Samui the next morning, but found it was pretty underwhelming. The room was clean and the staff was helpful and there is plenty of space to socialize, but overall it was unimpressive. The room was very very tiny. Take the word "box" in Hip Box literally as that's exactly what the rooms are. We arrived at 8:30 pm and only had one choice of restaurant to choose from as nothing else was open. This is pretty rare for Thailand, especially in areas where many foreigners pass through. The staff provided us with bicycles to go to the restaurant. Like I said, there was nothing inherently BAD about this hotel, but it's not somewhere you want to go and relax for a week. It's somewhere cheap that you want to sleep at before you continue onto the surrounding islands. Also, the bus ride to Donsak Pier (where the boats go to Koh Tao, Phangan, Samui, etc...) is about an hour long. So don't be fooled into thinking that being in the city center means you're close to where you need to be for the ferry.

Nice Concept Hotel”
We had a pleasant stay at Suratthani while waiting for our boat to Koh Samui the next day. So this was by far the best option we took and we were happy with it. The hotel had basic amenities and overall we enjoyed our stay and we met people from other countries which was fun as well.

Good”
Perfect, I speak Thai so I am able to communicate I would bare in mind that Suratthani is very limited to England speakers. Hotel staff are Ok, the place is clean, well looked after, helpfull and for what you get for price it is very very good. I have stayed there many time and I will always go back. Only thing is little to Englsih spoken.

Clean and welcoming”
Was staying for a sigle night to transfer to koh samui. Hotel was clean and acc and wifi worked well. Not too much around the hotel for tourists. I was on a budget and comfortable taking the local busses and it fit my needs. You can take the red local bus from the train station for 20 bhat and get off at the hospital and walk for 15 minutes down the road. Very local area and a bit of rubbish on the roads and some street dogs around which may bother some people. Its a bit closer to the river than marked on google maps. The little steak resteraunt 2 doors down on the corner was nice. You can get to seatran ferry bus terminal by taking the local red bus for 20 bhat in front of the hospital too. Overall I like the concept and it was good value for the money.

Quirky, budget hotel.”
With this hotel you get exactly what you pay for. Rooms are old shipping containers converted and provide you with a clean bed, shower room, TV and air con. What else do you want? If travelling with friends for a short stay, this hotel is perfect. Couples and families may want to think again. Staff were polite and friendly and there is even a small swimming pool to cool down. It's close enough to the main town and the hotel offers free use of bicycles to get around. For a short stay I would definitely recommend this place and will go again.

(Industrial containers) Very original concept.”
Exeptional. Very clean, well maintained, super friendly atmosphere, good price, optional tours and transportation service booking available. Not much to see in this side of Surat Thani but if you are looking to get some rest this is the place to be. Good job guys!!!

It’s all about the money ”
Yes, there are comfier beds, better locations, and overall more enjoyable hostels to stay in... but for less than $3 bucks a night I feel like I can’t really complain! No air con in the large dorm, but plenty of fans. Near by 7/11, good WiFi in the lounge, nice looking pool, helpful staff, drinks, heat up meals and ice cream available to purchase right in the lobby, and they also offer their own transport to nearby islands and other cities picking you up right from the hostel. Favorite part was you could borrow their bicycle for free! It was perfect to ride around and check out the town, which would’ve been a pretty darn decent walk just to get to the night market. You get what you pay for! And for the price I found the accommodation very sufficient!

A great hotel to stay for a couple of nights”
I like this hotel, the owners and staff are excellent, it is a budget hotel which is very easy to find. There are lots of restaurants on the street and it is cheap if you want to go out exploring. When I came back one night, the staff were eating with family, they invited me to sit with them & share some great food. I would stay there again as it was one of my favourite places.

Quiet one night stay.”
I stayed there just for one night. It was quiet and near the city. I did not have any food there as I know other nice restaurants in Suart Thani I like to dine.

Unique room concept design ”
Average....the room is not big just nice wit a bed and a bit of walking allowance...although the staff can't speak fluent english but quite friendly... the hotel is actually quite far from the city area..

Only problem i found is that i booked room with garden view. During the check in was said to me that for garden view i have to pay extra money...i showed reservation to receptionist and he told me that is wrong and its bad setting on agoda.com and if i want to garden view i have to pay extra...it my case ok, its just a for one night...but i got room opossite another. So basicaly no view at all. Just to the wall...but service was good anyway except this problem

Great for a night”
I only spent one night here in transit to Koh Phangan. I would say for the price, it was great. The rooms are old shipping containers split into 3 rooms with ensuite bathrooms (I am 5'5" and the showerhead is about chest-height on me. made an interesting and challenging shower...). The mattress was Thai-firm (but I am used to that), the pillows were comfortable. The hotel is not particularly conveniently located, as it is a fair piece down the soi. I didn't find the front desk staff to be particularly helpful. I was meeting friends there and sharing the room with one of them. When I arrived, they had already been there and checked in. The woman at the from desk told me which room I was in and sent me over. I got there and the lights were off and the door locked. Thinking that my friend might already be asleep, I went back to the desk to get a spare key from her. She informed me that my friends had gone into town?? Then why didn't you give me a key or go unlock the door for me when you sent me to the room? Which she eventually did. Then I asked for the wifi password so I could contact my friends. She told me it was on the key (which I didn't have). Eventually, I got the password, my friend called me, I was able to put my things in the room (but had to sit outside before my friend was back because I couldn't turn on the electricity without the key). If I had to do another night in transit, I may stay here because it was so inexpensive and clean and what not. But I can't give it a super high rating based on my experience and the lack of time that I was actually there.

Removed, quiet, unique”
I really love the concept of this hostel, which is why I stayed here. It is quiet and tranquil. I loved having my own room and privacy. Yes, the location is far from things to do. If you book a tour they will pick you up. They do provide bikes but I recommend to test them as they aren't the best. They have TV but all the channels are in Thai or some other local languages, I didn't find anything in English. It was clean and the pool is nice, could use some better lounge chairs.

Cool new alternate styling hotel.”
The hotel was a bit tricky to get to and didn't have much around it. They charge and exorbitant price for scooter hire and be careful they don't try and charge you extra when you return it. They do have free bicycles you can borrow but you really need a scooter for the area the hotel is located.

Location & Staff”
Location - Disappointing for location because it's 700m++ from Resort to Family Mart (main street). Staff - They not really good in English but they had try to understand, really appreciated. But when you ask them any recommend near by restaurant and their answer is "No, we don't know". We need help is due to Resort have no provide any food (only cup noodle) and no kitchen. Disappointed because really felt helpless and hungry at the moment. In the end we only can google map search near by restaurant and luckily we found one of Restaurant "ALIVE CAFE (อไลฟ์ คาเฟ่)" food quite nice and price is cheap.
