DK1Hostel

Chaweng

Situated in Chaweng and with Chaweng Beach reachable within less than 1 km, DK1Hostel features concierge services, rooms, a shared lounge, free WiFi throughout the property and a terrace. The property is around 1.5 km from Chaweng Noi Beach, 5.3 km from Fisherman Village and 7.6 km from Big Buddha. The accommodation offers a shared kitchen, a tour desk and currency exchange for guests. I had a wonderful stay in this hostel well located between Chaweng beach and the main walking street of the entire island. But mostly what makes the difference here is the genuinely and the love of the owner, an amazing woman who puts effort and care for the guests that will let you feel like home. I will keep beautiful memories about her and her welcoming hostel. Thank you!

Chill Inn Lamai Hostel & Beach Cafe

Koh Samui

Chill Inn Lamai Hostel & Beach Cafe features a garden, shared lounge, a terrace and restaurant in Koh Samui. 500 metres from Rocky's Beach and 1.3 km from Natien Beach, the property provides a bar and a private beach area. The accommodation offers nightclub and free WiFi throughout the property. I can’t say enough good things about Chill Inn Lamai. They have bike rentals right on the property so getting around is a breeze for travellers, the facilities are clean comfortable and cold in the summer heat. Lamai Beach brings the most laid back of travellers and the bar and surrounding area on the property are both beautiful and comfortable. The staff are super happy and extremely helpful. Tours, hotel transfers and rides around Koh Samui are all available in the main office and the food available is wonderful along with 20% off of cocktails for guests. I have stayed here 2 times over my visit to Thailand and I had gone through a traumatic experience on Koh Samui off of the property. While I was in the hospital the manager Rob and staff helped me out as much as possible by helping me book rooms, watching my bag for me while I was in the hospital and always helping me with my bags. Chill in has been the best hostel I have stayed in for a laid back, comfortable backpacking experience. If you’re tired of the hustle and bustle of beautiful Thailand Chill Inn Lamai is the place for you to sit back, relax and paddleboard or kayak on the ocean with the equipment freely available. Thanks Rob and Team for ensuring my stay at Chill Inn Lamai was wonderful. I’ll be looking forward to staying with you in the future!
