The Best Hostel Koh Payam

Close to the pier (where the ferry arrived to)

The bathrooms are VERY small, the shower head is basically above the toilet l, so it is very uncomfortable, small, with barely room to move and no dry place to put my clothes to change. And also no privet place to change even my underwear… Also there is no air in the room - there is one window facing the reception so no possibility of getting sunlight or fresh air. Also there is no AC in the room, and I woke up the next day where my clothes were a little moist for some unknown reason… Originally booked for three nights, but stayed one and left for another place on the island

bathrooms were okay,

it was too hot in the room I could barely sleep, and the location sucks if you cannot get a motor bike

Tony (owner) and his parents that lived nearby were so nice and very helpful in any sort of situation. There is a comfortable chill out area up on the roof that tony often sat at with his family. I had a really good time there as I felt very welcome.

There was no aircon in the room but to be fair it was a room with no windows so it didn't get too warm. Actually really not a problem

The team is really nice and gave me tips to visit the island. There is the possibility of renting a scooter with the hotel manager directly. The bed was comfortable, they gave me a second fan. Only a shower worked but it was enough. The establishment was clean and the rooftop is nice.

The guy from the reception (when he's around) is VERY helpful and cheerful and good natured. The price definitely is good. The hostel is very close to the pier (actually the walk from the boat along the pier is longer than the walk from the end of the pier to the hostel. If you want a VERY reasonable accommodation closed to the pier, this is it. If, however, you x want something close to the beach, this is not it.

The place is not dirty, but it definitely would benefit from better and daily cleaning, both the rooms and the shared toilets/showers.The same empty shower gel bottles left in the shower during my whole stay (4 days) is not a positive point. Toilet paper is available... till it is used up... The room I was staying in had a single window towards the inside, by default covered with a curtain. The is a fan, but unless you also leave the door open it feels like a sauna in there. No lockers in the room, but that should be fixed shortly, I heard.

The owners are very nice. All the family! They always treated me with some snacks and tried to make my stay as comfortable as possible
