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 highly recommend to stay here!! The first thing I noticed about this hostel was that the owner makes everything clean and organized. In the kitchen, there are basic utensils, electronic pot, microwave, drinking water and fridge. The bed in dorm room is fairly big for one person and comfortable. There are a power socket, personal light for each bed and you can use a locker too. The location was great. 10 minutes walking to the beach, 3 minutes walking to 7-11, a lot of local restaurants, a local market, beverage shops and fruits shops. 10 minutes to massage shop by foot. I could go to the main pub area in 20 minutes by foot as well. But the best thing is that even it is close to all things I need, the hostel area is not noisy. I only can hear the noise from the cars or scooters at night even I used the bed just right in front of the balcony door. As a female solo traveler, I feel it is a quite safe area to walk around at night. People mingle in the living room at night. We talked about our travel stories and shared the recommendations. I have met good travel buddies and we went to the bars a few times. I have to mention the owner of this hostel, Tharita. She is a local and takes care of the guests so well. We shared our personal stories, cooked together and she showed me around the area, recommended the spots and helped me to organize to go to the pier/tour. She is a very nice, lovely and funny lady. She speaks very good English and she is more than happy to let you know what is a real Thai experience. All guests like her and she also likes the influence from other cultures and wants to learn from them. She made my day many times. I'd like to come back this hostel to see her and talk more about our stories. I will miss DK1. P.S: don't be skeptical about the rating. 9.6 out of 10 is real. If you stay at DK1, you will know why this hostel marks so high score. Tharita works really hard to make this hostel nice and feel like home.

Koh Tao Silver Na’s Hostel

Sairee Beach, Ko Tao

Set in Koh Tao and with Sairee Beach reachable within 200 metres, Koh Tao Silver Na’s Hostel offers a tour desk, non-smoking rooms, free bikes, free WiFi throughout the property and a shared lounge. The property is around 1.7 km from Mae Haad Beach, 6.1 km from Sunken Ship and 4.5 km from Ao Muong. Exchange/ATM Sairee Branch is 500 metres away and Chalok Viewpoint is 3.7 km from the hostel. I extended my stay here because I could not see myself going anywhere else (or even leaving the island, if I am being honest). Everything was perfect - from the location (not too close to the buzz, but not far either), the views (nothing beats having morning coffee overlooking the jungle or being minutes away from the beach to enjoy a fruit bowl), the cleanliness (unmatched how the space was kept clean), and even the perks (the daily transport to key spots was a top tier service). I have raved about this place to other backpackers interested in visiting Koh Tao and I don't think I will ever stop.
