Samui Hostel

Booked a room for few days. Found out that room safe doesn't exist, TV doesn't exist, and toiletries are not provided. Everything was advertised in the room details when I was making the booking. I went down to reception to ask about it. I was immediately shouted out by a mouthy young lady and told off that if I don't like the room I can move out! I went back to the room, only to be harassed three times by the receptionist asking if I am moving out of not! She would knock several times each time to continue her arguments, she was ready to kick us out on the spot! Only because I dared to ask about promised room features. We didn't have any alternative so decided to stay.  Later on, older polite lady has bought us shop-bought piece of soap, to function as "toiletries" I guess. No sight of TV and room safe though. I was avoiding the receptionist for the rest of our stay and we didn't encountered any more trouble.  From less exciting cons we also had underperforming AC unit (working on maximum setting all the time but still too warm to sleep comfortably) , very old and smelly room with dated furniture, everything very basic and no main light in the room, all bulbs were out. We only had one bulb by the door and two small lamps located next to the beds.  Overall, very poor quality and no standards whatsoever.  I recommend to avoid this place.

The dorms are not so luxury, as shown in photos! But they are clean and the prices are OK. If you are a professional traveler, you will like it. Personnel are so helpful, and kind. The place is excellent.

My boyfriend and I were there for a night for convenience throughout our Samui trip (we were staying in Talingam area on the other days). We made a phone call to confirm that there are 2 beds available in their dorm room. However, when we arrived, we were told that only 1 bed was in vacant. We had no choice and took the private room for THB550/night (with private hot water shower, air conditioner, wifi and television). We went to the room and the air conditioner was not working well (not to mention the mosquito disturbance). The room was still warm even after a few hours of air conditioning. The next thing happened was loud noises from the air conditioner and bits of ice coming out through the air conditioner itself. We then informed the staff and immediately got a new room. The new room was nice and clean, no mosquitoes like the first room. Located just a few minutes walk away from Chaweng beach and 7eleven. Spoiled with choices of restaurants along the street. Not too sure about the dorm rooms but the private room is value for money.
