Nolo Hub Pai

Nolo Hub is a social, activity-led pod hostel in Pai, designed and built from the ground up and open since 2019. It's for solo travellers and small groups aged 18 to 34 who want to meet people, explore Pai, have a great night out and still sleep well. Voted Hostelworld's Most Popular Hostel in Pai, 2024 and 2025.

BEFORE YOU BOOK
- We're a 10 to 15 minute walk from the bus station, Walking Street and the middle of town. It's an easy, safe walk, and we run a free lift to and from Walking Street between 9am and 9.30pm. For arrival pickups, just message us when you get in. Our pickup spot is Pai Authentic Travel on Walking Street.
- If you'd rather stay right in the middle of town, we may not be the place for you.
- Four young, friendly bulldogs live here: Pablo, Samantha, Tarzan and Sophie. If you're allergic or don't like dogs, please keep this in mind.

DAYS AND NIGHTS
Days are for the pool, the jacuzzis and the garden, or one of our group day trips to Pai's waterfalls, the canyon, hot springs, the cave and sunset viewpoints. We also host jungle treks and donation runs to local schools and villages when possible. Our team runs activities every day.

Evenings start at the bar, around the pool and the pool table. We run events every night: some stay chilled, others turn into a full party. We're about creating a genuine, inclusive social atmosphere without anything feeling forced. At 10pm our team takes everyone who wants to keep going into town to the bars, so the night carries on there and the hostel goes quiet for anyone who wants to take it easy or sleep.

THE PODS
The eight mixed dorms are upstairs, built away from the bar and common area, with just six extra-large pods in each. There's a quiet rule in the dorms, so you can step away from the fun whenever you like.

Every pod has a king single mattress with a thick topper, room for your big bag, a window that opens, a heavy blackout curtain, a lockable locker, charging ports, a reading light, a fan and a fold-down desk. Each dorm has AC and its own bathroom, and bed linen is included.

AROUND THE HOSTEL
A big pool and unheated jacuzzis in the garden, a fully stocked bar, and a huge indoor/outdoor common area with a pool table, ping pong, foosball, darts, board games, consoles and movies. Local cafés deliver food here fast and for free.
