          They have shuttle to the port! dont forget to ask them about it if you are going to the port. Taxiing by yourself can be a bit pricey.

          Great location & friendly staff”

          This hostel is reasonably priced and in a good location on the island. The staff here are friendly and the premises is kept generally clean. The property does look slightly better in photographs but still offers decent value for money. The only downside is there are no curtains on the beds as advertised.

          Backpacker‘s Opinion:”

          The hostel has a nice pool and some other entertainments. The hostel isn’t clean and especially the bathrooms. The personal staff has not really an Idea and they almost don’t speak English! The location is good if you are planing to go from there to Koh Phangan or to do a day trip to the national park. If you wanna enjoy the party life in Koh Samui, you need to find an accommodation near Choeng Mon beach. Otherwise you gonna spend a bit of your budget on taxis.

          Good Price”

          The place was ok, but for the price I can not complain. The owner was a really kind person.

          Great”

          Friendly staff, clean rooms, nice social area

          The hostel was lovely and staff very friendly & welcoming. Social area is outside but has seating, pool table, ping pong & a fridge you can use for your own food/drinks. Food not available at hostel but quite a few places nearby. Staff are brilliant & very helpful. Only downside is location being quite a long way from Chaweng beach & confusion in ordering taxis back (it's near Bug Buddha pier!)

          Gute Preisleistung”

          Wer eine einfache Unterkunft mit fairen Preisen sucht ist hier richtig. 5 min Taxifahrt vom Flughafen entfernt. Die Piers zu den Fähren nach Ko Tao und Ko Phangan sind fußläufig in 2-15 min erreichbar. Tickets für die Fähren können direkt an der Rezeption gebucht werden. Mein Tipp als kurzer Aufenthalt zwischen Ankunft am Flughafen und Weiterfahrt mit der Fähre.

          フェリー乗り場に近くて便利でした、一晩ならドミでもOKですが、ベッドの軋みで何度も目が覚めました。上段で寝がえりを打つと下段が揺れます。
