Really friendly staff, quiet and chilled hostel with the most comfortable beds we've slept in in Thailand. Nice seating area overlooking the water and tasty food. All of Saladan area is easily walkable from here. Saladan Pier is only 2 minutes walk away. They went out of their way to make space for us when we unexpectedly had to extend our stay at the last minute

Set in Ko Lanta, 600 metres from Saladan School, Lanta Chaolay offers air-conditioned accommodation and a terrace. Located around less than 1 km from Police Station, the hostel with free WiFi is also 17 km away from Lanta Old Town. Some units at the property feature a balcony with a sea view. It was really handy to stay here our first night on Lanta after arriving at the pier. You can avoid all the shouting taxi’s and just walk to your accomodation. It’s a close walk to the night market and main supermarket too. The room was lovely, spacious and clean with a full glass window, so nice! Minimal, modern decor. They had a water machine and helpful staff, really liked it

Great location, staff were super friendly and helpful, the included breakfast was also unreal (fruit, snacks, cooked food too), the rooms were well airconditioned (during the hours set) and the curtains made them very private. Also was easy to book a scooter through them

Among the facilities of this property are a restaurant, a 24-hour front desk and a concierge service, along with free WiFi. Guests can have a drink at the bar. Great space. a little overpriced for a hostel but it’s high season so I guess it can be expected. Clean and comfortable, great location on the beach, pool and other facilities were kept clean.

Saladan School is 3.5 km from the hostel, while Police Station is 3.8 km from the property. Krabi International Airport is 75 km away. Just a few of my observations during my long stay here, of “travellers on a budget”. AKA; “checking in at a hostel”. Which incidentally, was delightful! The hosts here are amazing and offer help with just about anything and everything their guests need. Within reason!😅 Some people simply forget to leave their sense of entitlement at home. Some want EVERYTHING for free. Some were thankfully kicked out/called out by the owner for their rude and nasty behaviour towards the staff and other guests (hence some of the bad reviews for this property). Some guests audaciously threathened the owners, of leaving bad reviews, if they couldn’t get things their own way. Still, they were “politely” asked to leave by the owners 😅 An Italian woman in her 50’s, behaving like she had a reservation in a 5-star hotel. Demanding this and that. Very rude. She talked to the “staff” (without knowing they are the owners) like they are scum. Another woman in her 50’s, Dutch, huffing and puffing about other hostel guests hanging out/chilling and smoking in the designated “hangout area” (that’s the purpose of that space 🤷‍♀️). Also she complained of the shower room being wet (since it’s a communal shower room where people are in/out, it’s wet 🤷‍♀️) A young Austrian couple in their 30’s, washed their entire laundry in the shower late one evening, despite being asked not to, then hung it all around the hostel, underwear’s and everything for all to see (everyone is briefed on arrival about the water, drawn from a well starting to run dry in dry season, the simple plumbing system of the property and the no-tissue-down-the-toilet etc which they ignored) After being asked to leave, they suggested the manager should learn how to speak to people. A young indian female in her 30’s, complained the water from the dispenser not being chilled, even after being told that she can use the fridge, next to the dispenser.
