Very clean, good food/bar and a refreshing pool”
What more could you want from a hostel. The decor in the rooms is basic but the beds include privacy curtains and the set up for you belongings was great. Place to hang clothes and a huge locker for you backpack and valuables. The bathrooms were cleaned very thoroughly every day and had great showers with lots of space. The bar area had a very chilled vibe and offered free tea and coffee all day. The food was really tasty and at a fair price. Prices on the island are slightly higher than elsewhere in Thailand. Staff were very friendly and straightforward. Would highly recommend

Best place to stay!”
Shiralea is definitely the best place i've ever stayed in! I totally recommend it to solo travellers, friends, families; everyone is welcomed there! The atmosphere is absolutely amazing. It is surrounded by nature and it's locations is perfect, the facilities are amazing and the staff there could not be more beautiful! The rooms and toilettes are cleaned every day and everything is just amazing! The kitchen/living room/soul it's a super nice place to chill, to talk and to spend some time. I would definitely stay in Shiralea, you are not where all the crown is but still close to everything!

Amazing staff and relaxing atmosphere ”
Close enough to the beach to walk to, the rooms are clean and the dining area is really relaxing and chill in the morning and fun at night. The staff is extremely cool, friendly, and helpful taking care of all your needs quickly and with tons of local knowledge. The food is also very good and while there was excellent dining options nearby we found ourselves enjoying the food at the resort (especially the rad na!). Will definitely go here again.

BEST HOSTEL I'VE STAYED AT”
I booked one night at Shiralea and ended up staying for one and a half months. The staff is super nice and makes this place feel like home. The common spaces are awesome to meet new people, especially as a solo traveller. The pool is so nice to cool down, especially because the ocean water in Thailand is too hot sometimes. The gym was great to have and gave me extra motivation to workout. The food is great too! Overall, this place is AMAZING and the vibes are great*

The atmosphere in the resort is amazing, they have the best pool -depth of 3 meters, so you can dive there, it’s cleaned every single day; there is a gym, joga classes near the pool; the rooms are basic, but it’s clean, comfy beds and a/c is quiet; vert good location, close to the beach.

Highly recommend this place - great atmosphere and amazing staff”
Awesome place, super cozy to hang out during the day yet still exciting and eventful in the evening / night. The staff are super rad and easy to get a long with. Jimmy, Jay, G, and Keira are excellent workers and made us feel at home, will go back for sure!

Amazing staff and place in general”
Booked 3 nights here, ended up extending my stay twice to a total of 8 nights. Simply loved it here. Even tho it was low season and not much was going on, it was just a very pleasant place and the staff was incredibly welcoming and helpful with literally everything. Coming back for sure!

I had a good experience, dormitory was nice and basic (they also give you a lock for cupboard if you are concerned about your stuff). People were friendly, food tasty. Comfortable bar area to sit and relax.

Small and basic room in nice resort ”
We stayed in the double fan room. We originally booked for 2 nights but ended up staying for 7. However I wouldn't say that we extended our stay because we loved the room! The room was clean but very very small. Not much room around the bed plus a badly laid out shelf meant there was no room to unpack bags at all really. The room had a fan (as expected) but was still very hot. Obviously this to be expected, not moaning just noting that it gets stuffy and hot. No bugs in the room, however our bungalow (11) was next to a large bush that was home to lots of noisy bugs and on one night a very loud bull frog that kept us up most of the night. Unless you are a deep sleeper bring ear buds and you should be fine. The resort has a great pool with sun beds around it, as well as a good bar/restaurant with a chill out area. Staff were mostly friendly. Would recommend staying for a few nights as the island is great, but room is basic as advertised

Hello Amy! Thanks for the amazing review. Not much we can do about the local jungle wildlife/weather but I am glad to hear you really enjoyed everything else Shiralea has to offer! Maybe next time you stay you can book one of our deluxe private air-conditioned bungalows and we will get that review from a 9.2 up to a 10!! Kind Regards, ~Shiralea Management
Highly recommend”
Amazing and very supportive staff, great common areas and favorable location to visit beautiful beaches on foot if you don't mind walking. Also, their restaurant offers good meals and snacks options.

I stayed in a dorm at shiralea and the dorms are really nice. They are clean, you have AC and a curtain for some privacy. They also have huge lockers and each bed has a plug. I just wouldn’t recommend staying there if you don’t drive a scooter because it’s a bit far off from everything.

Hello Denise! Thank you for taking the time to write us such an outstanding review. Great to see you found our dorms clean and comfortable! We are only a 10 minute drive from the pier and main town of Thongsala so not really too far, however you are correct that scooters are the best way to get around the island. Kind Regards, ~Shiralea Management
Wicked spot!”
Staff are great, food is awesome and rooms are good. Not a bad word to say.

Couldn’t fault it. ”
I loved staying here, booked for one night and ended up staying 10! It’s great value for money and has everything you could hope for back packing: a towel, soap in the bathroom, air con, a huge locker (with padlock), a curtain and even a pool! The owner is also amazing and incredibly welcoming. It can also be whatever vibe you make if it, I was here for a bit of chilled downtime which I got but there is a restaurant and bar on site if that’s what you’re after. The one thing I would recommend though is renting a scooter which is between 200-250 baht a day as although it is walking distance from a 7/11 it is easier to see the rest of the island with one. I also found a gym about 5 mins away by scooter which was well equipped and a fair rate (150/day or 500/week). I’ll definitely be back.
