Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

Nice social hostel with restaurant, bar, pool, pool table. Near to cheap restaurants and to the beach. You can book the 4 islands tour with them for cheaper. Activities almost every night with nice staff. Clean and 2 toilets for 4 beds (great ratio)

Ra and Suleiman were the greatest, so many free things they give such as coffee/tea/juice, breakfast, popcorn even. The location is the best hostel you’ll get in Ko Lanta, facilities were good

Lovely hostel. The owners are super lovely and helpful. Helped us book transport, trips, were super chatty with us and even asked around the hostel to see if others wanted to join us to go to the old town festival that was on to make the taxi cheaper! Bathrooms had enough toilets and showers for everyone and the room was clean and comfortable!

Best hostel I’ve stayed in on my travels so far.Staff are so kind and will go out of their way to help you in any way they can.Breakfast you have the choice of eggs how you would like them,toast,fruit,juice,tea,coffee and muffins etc. Rooms are clean as well as the bathrooms and the beds are comfortable.Only a two minute walk to the beach and lots of nearby restaurants.There is also a separate quiet area for working and a free popcorn machine which is a nice touch. They also rent out scooters for a cheap price.
