Affordable and clean, however not great security. Hostel is off the main road and the door was kept open all night so anyone could easily walk in

nice social area, good location as it is right opposite the pier if you get the speed boat from Koh Phangan & then right next to Samui airport. the hostel offers transport to the airport which is cheaper than a taxi which was really useful.

We took the hotel because of its location: we needed something close to the airport and walking distance to the boat that would take us to Koh Phangan. And it is perfect for that. Also, the staff is EXTREMELY NICE, like most Thai people ❤️ I also appreciated free breakfast and the bar - their MayTha
