Urban Guesthouse Reviews

I like this place, It is 2 meters from the shopping street. I could just sit on the balcony of the restaurant and talk to people walking by. And about 5 min walk to the beach. Not to mention they run a restaurant with tasty Italian and Thai food. The staff are really great. I am glad we became friends with no time not even ice-breaking needed. If I got there again I would stay there for sure.

Brilliant stay here! Highlights: 1. The restaurant, We've come to Thailand from Rome and the food really does meet up to the Italian standard! 2. Location is spot on. Right near the beach, restaurants, shops and bars but quiet enough to get a good nights sleep. 3. Our room had a DVD player, perfect chance to watch the cheap knockoffs we got whilst in Koh Samui! 4. Lovely staff :) Only bad thing I'd say is the shower wasn't that poweful.

Had an amazing week here in koh samai. Urban staff made us very welcome with amazing fresh home cooked food. Beach bars and nightlife all within 2 mins. Rooms very basic but clean and good value compared to others

This place is very nice. the home cooked meals here are to die for. the owners are pretty nice as well...felt really comfortable here

This place is definitely value for money, clean

Great hostel, had the 3 bed room which was fantastic value, clean and spacious. Bathroom next door was kept clean, shower was more cool than warm but great after a hot day in the sun. Beach is 3 min walk, and is beautiful!! Staff are excellent, friendly and helpful...the food they cook is fantastic too so eating there is a must. Only downside is the construction work next door which is 8am till about 6/7pm and will be happening for at least 1 more year :-/ So get earplugs and you'll be fine!

The rooms were spacious and were well equipped. Good value for money. Helpful in booking our transport to koh phagnan... however after stressing we needed thong Sala... he still booked the wrong ferry. His heart is in the right place though..

Slight difficultly finding hostel however after overcoming this the hostel is in a great location ! Very close to beach and very close to night life without being noisy . Rooms very basic but everything you need . Great aircon!! Very clean ! Great little social area / cafe down stairs . Staff very friendly and helpful !

this hostel is run by two very friendly Italian lads, the location is great and excellent value for money.

Really lovely hostel, the owners were so helpful too and the food was delicious! Would definitely stay here again!!

We had a fantastic stay! The two owners are lovely and very welcoming. The room and shared bathroom was always clean. The food is amazing, proper Italian pasta. Great location, less than 5 mins from the beach and 10 mins walk to the main bars. The guest house reception does not open until 10am so just be aware and do not get a flight that gets in at 8am because you will have to wait for a while. Hostel world does not tell you this. Not a major issue though. We would definitely stay again!

Spent 6 days here, and would happily spend six more. Very nice. Staff are brilliant! High Recommendations

Great place. Nice management who really do their best to make you experience more enjoyable. I dont agree with the review below, come on, this is not a Ritz 5 stars hotel, just leave your key when you go as usual in hostels. Best italian food in town at very low pice.

Friendly staff and good location. Real hand-made Italian pasta available with 10% discount at the restaurant downstairs. The room was simple but amply sufficient for us backpackers. Too bad there was a construction site right in front of our window (noisy). Also wish the hot water heater was fixed. Overall and excellent stay.

I absolutely loved it here and will definitely stay here regularly on my trips to Samui. The staff were not only helpful but generous and kind, and I spent a lovely XMAS Italian dinner with them which was complimentary and tasty. The food and drink was great, some of the best Italian food I've tasted in the world, not just Thailand. The room was spacious, the facilities were reliable and efficient. The location was a walk away from the beach and close to everything. LOVE x

It was not possible to check out before 9 so we had to leave the keys in the room.

nice little hostel near the beach... very nice staff!
