The Cocoon Hostel, hotel in Ko Samed

Located in Ko Samed and with Sai Kaew Beach reachable within a 8-minute walk, The Cocoon Hostel has a shared lounge, non-smoking rooms, free WiFi throughout the property and a bar.

After staying already in two different Hostels in Ko Samet I felt sorry for not moving to Cocoon earlier. I was very postively surprised by the first overall impression. I instantly felt a genuine atmosphere with hospitality. Good vibes. The Hostel had just opened and everything was new and set up for comfort. The owners (Nick and May) gave me a well and warmly welcome. I felt home instantly. Spacious and clean shower facilities and separated toilets. Enough space in the cozy lobby for socializing, watching the people passing by on the main street. An enjoyable extra were free coffee, tea and cereals all day. I really didn´t like to leave. But on a future trip to Ko Samet I will be staying at COCOON. Thank you Nick and May and all the best to you and the Cocoon.

My Bunk Hostel, hotel in Ko Samed

Located in Ko Samed, a 7-minute walk from Sai Kaew Beach, My Bunk Hostel has accommodations with a shared lounge, free private parking and a terrace.

Cosy little place with only 8 beds in total! A nice balcony to hang out on (bring bug spray) and really cosy rooms with en suite bathroom and shower. A bit cramped and rough but clean and nice. It's a real chill vibe, and the lady who owns it is super sweet, helpful and accommodating! She cleans the room everyday and makes your bed, learns your name and asks you how you are doing. A real host! It's about a 8 min walk to the closest beach, 5 minutes to the closest 7/11 and lots of stuff in between. Close to locals which gives a nice perspective on locals day to day life.

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.

    The host was really nice and helpful. He does everything so that you have a nice stay. The hostel is small, so it’s easy to connect with other backpackers, even though on the island are more couples and family’s. I had a really nice time and would always come back. It’s nice that you have some private space in the cabins.

    I loved the location and beautiful setting. As a solo female traveller I felt safe. The room although called budget was anything but - it was clean, cosy and comfortable. The staff was super friendly and the food was excellent.

    Staff were super friendly and helpful. Great place to stay, will definitely stay there again if I ever head back to Ko Samet. The design of the beds was really cool too, had enough privacy and less disruption than you would normally get with bunk beds in hostels.

    This is a little gem of a hostile. Definitely a wonderful low budget hostel with warm and friendly vibe. Comfortable sleeping pods that give you a privet space in a mixed dorm. Wonderful hosts Goth and Holly were always helpful and great to hang out with. Thanks for the advice on places to snorkel and lending me your snorkels. Also bamboo is a charming little dog. I can't wait to visit again 😁
