About

Our hostel is super modern, clean, shared accommodation but still really private, well designed and just awesome. :-)

You will not stay in a bunkbed in a massive room, but you will get your own 'pod' in an air conditioned dorm room. Your pod has everything in it that you need: comfy mattress, blanket, electrical sockets to charge your devices, reading and ambiance lights, and a personal safe inside the pod itself. And you can close yourself off from the rest of the room with a privacy curtain and enjoy a good night's sleep.

If you want even more privacy we also offer private rooms with a double bed and your own bathroom with a hot shower and free shower gel and shampoo.
In the room you have a personal safe for your belongings, a TV and air conditioning.
Please be aware that we are situated across from a nice party bar from which the music can be heard inside our private rooms (music is not heard inside the dorms) until midnight. After that the volume will be turned down and they will fully close latest 2 at night.

Summary of traveller reviews

Indie Hostel Koh Tao offers comfortable beds and a great location, perfect for travellers wanting to be near the action. However, be prepared for significant noise from nearby bars, especially at night. Some guests have noted issues with cleanliness and occasional staff unfriendliness.

Me and my friend found bed bugs in our bed. The bed opposite me also found bed bugs. If you look at other reviews there other issues of bed bugs. Spoke to manager on the phone was rude and aggressive. Would definitely not recommend this place.

Great location, not very social but close to lots of bars/hostels/beach etc. staff are not always at the desk which is bad, my key stopped working and I had to wait 2 hours until midnight until someone came... when I called they did not seem to care at all, this could be dangerous. On the positive side, rooms are cleaned daily , private rooms are comfortable. No lift
