Great staff but the area isn’t great, and the bedsheets smelled as though they had not been dried properly after their last wash. It was pleasant enough though and served a purpose.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    The property is set in a great location on a quieter road but still only 10 minutes or so from Karon and all its facilities. It’s also very clean and modern touches, and we loved the private pool. The beds were super comfy and they provided lots of towels. They also saw we were travelling with children on our arrival and a man came back with some balls and toys for them to play with in the pool which I thought was nice. The staff were friendly and the villa felt very safe too.

    Excellent and budget accommodation option on Karon beach. The room is very spacious, has everything you need (refrigerator, safe, beach towels, powerful air conditioner). Cleaning is daily. It takes about 7 minutes to walk to the beach. The owners are very friendly, helped with ordering a taxi. A great option for your money, I will recommend it to my friends! Thank you for your hospitality!
