Chill Inn Lipa Noi Hostel and Beach Cafe, hotel in Koh Samui

Located in Koh Samui, a few steps from Lipa Noi Beach, Chill Inn Lipa Noi Hostel and Beach Cafe provides accommodations with a garden, free private parking, a bar and water sports facilities.

WOW! What an absolute GEM of a place the Chill Inn is. Exceptional value. Fantastic location on a gorgeous powdery white sandy beach with stunning sunsets every night. Far removed from the noisy crowded "non-sunset" beaches of Chaweng and Lamai, Lipa Noi is arguably the "nicest" beach on the island. Wonderful friendly helpful staff that are eager to help you with any needs you have. Beautiful restaurant with delicious food right beside the ocean. But I stayed in a "MANSION". By FAR the nicest "hostel" I've ever stayed in. Beautiful clean spacious rooms with lots of choice and variety. They even have rooms "closer" to the beach as well but I didn't mind having to "walk" across the road to get to the beach. Lots of restaurants, mini-marts, bars, massage places nearby too. And two 7-11s about a 3-5 minute ride on the motorbike as well. I was VERY impressed with this place and would TOTALLY recommend it to anyone.

Chill Inn Chaweng Hostel and Cafe, hotel in Koh Samui

Very clean hostel and super friendly staff. The beds were big and it was very clean and comfortable with the towels. Air conditioning is working very well. Super close to the Chaweng Beach. I think it is a great place to stay if you are a backpacker and traveling low-budget.

Located in Bangrak, Samui Backpacker Hotel is a 1-minute walk from a pier that can take guests to Ko Phangan and the famous full moon parties.

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.

    I had an amazing stay at this hostel! The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, the room was clean and the bed was comfortable, and the atmosphere was so welcoming. Plus, the Persian restaurant was a delightful bonus. The flavors were incredible, the presentation was beautiful, and the service was top-notch. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a great place to stay and dine. They also have vegetarian options to choose from. There is a beautiful beach just a few minutes away and a 711 next door.

    The owner is really nice and polite, and the good kebab and fresh smoothies are also cheaper for the people who stay in the hostel.
