It's a great and cheap basic hostel to stay for the night. Extremely close to the bus station. Jesus and Shawn were very nice. They were gone and I wanted to get a tour, however, the women who checked us in couldn't help us because she didn't know the information for the tour we wanted. To exit and enter the hostel, you had to have someone from the inside key you in and out. Super secure which makes me believe it may not be the most safe area (I felt extremely safe). Nice place:)

Thank you for writing a review. We are pleased you found the hostel safe, economical and in a good location. We apologize that we were not there when you arrived. The staff member that checked you in is new and is not up to speed yet but learning quickly ;-). The gate is locked for safety but it is not that the area is dangerous. There is just a lot of opportunistic theft. If we left the gate unlocked all day, the chairs and hammock on the front porch would "walk away" by the end of the day. We hope you enjoy the rest of your trip!

Such a great hostel with a cool chill surfer vibe! Everyone loves to hang out in the common area to play pool, foosball, and to have a drink! At night, it's a little loud because the bathroom door is constantly slamming from people going in and out. Can't complain, it really has a great vibe to it! Security is great because they have the guests wear bracelets so strangers don't just walk in. Took a surf lesson from FIFO! Loved it so much!!!

This is a nice inn with an incredible view of Arenal Volcano...if you are staying on the balcony. My friends and I were in the dorms and we went out to dinner. When we got back, someone was sleeping in my friends bed! So two of them got moved upstairs in a smaller shared room. I stayed in the dorm. Showers are in the room, but the toilets are outside the dorm. The utility sink was to wash your hands, but no soap is provided, so bring your own!! I've had better, but I'm there to sleep:)

I loved Pak Up Hostel. Fun atmosphere in a great location...extremely close to the pier to Railay Beach and extremely close to the Food Night Stalls and the Night Market. I love the theme (set in an old school) so it made the perfect space for a hostel. Hip and trendy. Huge space, AC, comfy beds. Great hostel to meet new people. Wish they had free breakfast for the price.

FIN Hostel Phuket Kata Beach, Phuket, Thailand

Fin is a super cute and trendy hostel. I think it's a little pricey, given they don't offer free breakfast, coffee, or tea for what you pay. However, there are restaurants everywhere around you including The Coffee Club. I had to go next door for laundry service as well. It's really close to the nasty smelly entrance (5 minute walkway) to Kata Beach. Hated that pathway so much that we walked an extra 10 minutes down for the nice entrance. Didn't mind the extra steps. Rooftop pool is fun!

Mushroom Point, Sihanoukville, Cambodia

Mushroom Point is so cute! I loved my little mushroom hut! We stayed in the private huts with our own little mushroom bathroom with swinging doors. I think it's a little pricey, but I definitely enjoyed my stay. There are also shared bathroom huts along the beach, but I didn't mind the extra 50 meter walk. Great beach spot too with padded platforms to lay out on and umbrellas. Have dorm rooms that they didn't tell us about. Staff is very kind and helpful. B-fast comes with free fruit and tea

Nice hostel. Has an artsy vibe and a great restaurant across from reception, where dorms are. Stayed in the all girl dorm and it was good. AC worked, bunk beds are pretty big and comfy. It's a little loud because we were under the rooftop bar, but I didn't mind. They have their own tuk tuk drivers outside reception if you want to tour the city. Overall, it's a good dorm.

Hak Boutique Residence, Siem Reap, Cambodia

Little too far of a walk to the markets and Pub Street (15 minutes which isn't bad) Being that there were dogs everywhere, a group of us were walking back late at night a little on edge. Also, there's a little river you pass by that isn't very appealing to the eyes or nose. The value is awesome, Hak is so nice and helpful. Rooms are cozy with a nice bathroom. Nice common area out front. The last morning at 6am on, I was awakened by extremely loud, banging music from a restaurant 2 doors up.
