Nice hostel and Sabina is very helpful and friendly. Only downside were the bins in the toilet - they should have a lid. Other than that would defintely recommend and stay. The black out windows are a nice touch when your hungover!! good location for the full moon

Possibly the best hostel I've stayed in during my time in Thailand. The hostel itself is located literally across the road from the full moon party beach as well as within short distance of stores, pharmacies and bars. The room was well layed out with air conditioning and the highest of cleanliness. The owner Sabina made us all feel at home and added to the enjoyable stay. I would give my recommendation to anyone looking for a hostel on Koh Phangan.

Nice hostel. I missed the Full Moon Party (long story) so it was quite quiet when I arrived. Enjoyed it here and the owners are nice and helpful. It's 30 seconds walk from Haad Rin beach, and you can use the Paradise Bungalows swimming pool for free! The only issue I would say is that the lockers are in a seperate building which closes at 11pm, so you can end up not being able to get to your stuff last thing at night. Other than that, well recommended and Sabina is lovely.

Awesome place to stay for the full moon party. Great location close to all the action but not right on the beach so you can get some sleep if you want to as well. Everything you need is walking distance and taxis on the island are expensive (100 baht for a ride anywhere basically). The bar is a great place to meet a crew to party with! Downside is the mattresses are typical Thai-style rock solid and only one bathroom/shower for 10 people but clean enough. Sabina and Top run a tight show.

Location is perfect if you are going to the full moon party. Staff was really nice. Air con worked fine, bed was OK. Only problems we had was the light went off once and took them a while to get it back.

The Hostel in Koh Pangan is in the center of everything and great for someone that is looking to party. The Hostel is right next to the Full Moon Party. Free body paint for the Half Moon Party was fun and the mixer before helped us meet other people from the hostel going to the party. Although 1 bathroom for 10 people was difficult it was also a lot of fun. The owner is really nice and honest, ask her any questions you have.

Good hostel for attending full moon party location is super close to the party. Pretty gunge hostel with rock hard beds but chances are you'll be so drunk you won't care and just be relieved that your bed is easy to access after the party. Good staff, and hostel reception/ bar is good. pretty expensive for what you get but so is everything at the FMP time so I think this is an ok option its just a shame you have to stay for the min no. of nights as the island is pretty boring if you're not drunk

Stayed here for 4 nights in a private room. The hostel has a great restaurant/bar and the common area is great for meeting other people. The staff are great and Sabina at the front desk is a fantastic source of information (which is a great help for getting to know the island). Really, this was one of the better hostels in terms of overall atmosphere that I stayed in while in Thailand.

The manager Sabina is great, along with the other Thai staff. It was a great place to meet people and hang out in the hostel bar area. There was a tattoo and piercing parlour conveniently attached next door for when my friends wanted drunken piercings! A really great place though, room was nice with air con. Literally by the beach for Full Moon. Recommend fully
