    Overall, it’s a very nice hostel if you want to stay somewhere chill

    - if you’re looking for somewhere social and to make friends this probably isn’t the hostel for you, but if you’re going for a chill vibe then it’s perfect

    + the hostel was very clean + beds were very comfortable + the beds were in a little pod which made it feel like you had your own room, enough space in there to fit your bags too which was very good + good air con and personal fan in your pod too + location was excellent, 1 min walk to the beach and loads of restaurants, bars and shops nearby + the food in the hostel was also very good, we inly had breakfast there but it was very nice

    This was my first time trying a hostel,personally it is not for me just because of the space in the capsule it made me uncomfortable but it was big enough to sleep just not super practical for me personally .

    My favorite thing about the property is the location,it's in like the center of Koh Samui everything you need is nearby plus the beach is less than 1 min walk which is amazing but my peak was the staff and the cafe they have downstairs,the food was amazing i have had their breakfasts and beverages and it was my favorite place to eat in the island.

    Great Chilled Capsule Hostel - Quiet, Private and Convenient

    A few people during the late evenings/early morning hours would sometimes come in smelling of weed.

    A great capsule hostel! The owner's own backpacking experience must've inspired all the great convenient small touches (plug points near the bed, gel and shampoo in the shower, fast WiFi). The friendly staff (Tat is a legend and assisted us with Koh Phangan ferry tickets) are always smiling and joking with you and making one's day. The bathrooms are always very clean and the capsule beds are nice and private when one wants to retreat and chill. The coworking space in the building and Delish Cafe next door are game changers and help one get one's day started if you don't feel like walking too far. Chaweng beach (one of the prettiest breaches on the island) is also just around the corner! Despite being close to two beach clubs (Avani and Seen) this isn't a party hostel, it's a nice quiet, clean and chilled one to recover. Highly recommend this place whether you're someone looking for a place to just focus and work remotely or whether you're on a budget but need some good quiet private space. I will definitely come back in the future!

    Not a lot of people were around maybe because of the off season so it was quite hard to meet people if you’re coming for the social aspect. The hostel is quite far from the main strip of bars and restaurants. The hostel was so hot no AC apart from in the bunk rooms.

    We booked the queen capsule and it was bigger than what we thought, glad to have enough room in the capsule for backpacks to fit too 🥰 the rooftop balcony was a great addition to chill😃 the staff were great helped with anything you needed. AC in the room😌everything was very clean too.

    You have to take your shoes off at reception which I know is custom in most places in Asia but by the time you get to the room your feet are dirty and sandy then you bring it into the pod

    I loved the capsule beds!! It was like your own mini bedroom, I liked the privacy but just a little awkward getting in and out of the top ones but still great I wish more hostels were like this! The bathrooms were nice and spacious and clean and it was only a 3 minute walk to the beach!

    I didn’t like the 3 flights of stairs I had to climb everyday but that’s not so bad. Also no drinking water.

    I liked the rooms very private for a hostel and comfortable. Not a huge amount of room in them but it’s definitely an upgrade from other hostels.

    the ventilation systems of the 'capsules' was really loud, but you can switch them off, which worked perfectly fine for me (there are two AC's in the room so it was perfectly climated)

    loved the individual 'little' rooms, enough space for my backpack and bag, beach is really close by

    The bathrooms have a few important issues: - the water evacuation is in one shower, so you basically shower with your feet in everyone’s dirty water - the light is a very bad movement detector that keeps turning off (around 15 times per shower) - it’s hard to find a toilet that’s clean, dry and that has toilet paper

    Very nice to have cabins that close, the privacy is really appreciated! Good value for money, and the staff is really nice and helpful. The breakfast is delicious

    When I stayed there (Dec 2024), there was still a lot of construction going on. It felt like I was staying at a construction site, with many workers walking around the hostel all day. As a female solo traveler, it made me feel really uncomfortable.

    Super private pods and really comfy bed!

    A hostel bed that’s more like a mini-room

    The cleanliness in the bathroom could be better, and I get the feeling that too many people are sharing one. It might be a good idea to separate the facilities for men and women, as there isn't much privacy. I didn't like that it's not possible to check out before 7 AM, and a 500-baht deposit is required. This means that if you have an early flight, you’ll lose your deposit. Also, one night, a group of drunk people came into my room, shouted, played music, and talked all night, which is against the hostel's rules. While I know this isn't the hostel's fault, the problem is that there’s no one to turn to in such cases.

    I really like this concept; it's not a typical hostel with bunk beds but offers much more privacy and security. The bed was comfortable, the staff was friendly, and it's in a great location.

    Bathroom and shower , water go in same water bed. So if women cuts their armpit hair it flows from in front of you. If a lazy dude pee in a shower, it goes to your neigbours feet. Every cabinet should have their own water exit.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

    Location and friendly stuff.
