HuaHin Night Market Hostel

4 Rahil Patel - 9 months ago

this hostel is run by the perfect little accommodation couple. One likes to play games (mostly board games), the other likes to watch movies. And the mother.. well... she’s on higher spiritual plane. :p

the hostel is surprisingly hot, especially since i had just come from camping for most of my trip. Every common area would need a fan to become livable, otherwise, mosquitos will come. The roof was unfurnished, and the sofa on the second floor didn’t have a fan, so, that leaves the room and the first floor.

the dorm room has 4 beds, no windows, and absolutely freezing cold air conditioner (unfortunately, my roommate was a cold cold European).

parking is... chaotic. A car is surely impossible during the night, but a motorcycle can be parked, you just have park before the night market begins, otherwise... well.. you can take a stroll with your motorcycle. :p Also, there are about 6 or more dogs that can pee on your motorcycle, every night (yes, 6 or more dogs, owned by the lady next door). If you have saddle bags, i don’t think it’s safe place, as i’ve seen one shady guy pass by several times..

there is a key deposit. i forgot that idea still existed! :/

at around 300 baht (post-covid re-opening), it’s not quite Ko Phangan / Pai price, but it’s possible Hua Hin has become expensive, as every other business shut down.

mentioning covid, this isn’t exactly the safest location... :3

the male manager (/owner?) is super friendly / amiable. I had a sorta emergency, in that i needed a place to stay to use as an address to extend my visa. He helped by answering a phone call and writing a letter from/to the immigration worker. It all worked out fine, all thanks to him! Though he was busy “working” (playing some crypto game, lol) at the time, we were able to get one board game in. He’s possibly the friendliest and most helpful hostel manager i’ve encountered in Thailand!! His partner, on the contrary, was stuck looking at screens (either youtube, tv, or movie) so.., i couldn’t really communicate well with her, beyond watching a movie with her. :/ maybe that is the covid life?? loll

anyway, though a little expensive for me at the time, i’m very thankful for the visa help. Eventually, one gets tired of the trash ‘n smells ‘n sounds of the night market and those dogs.., and even the decaying city (where’s the beach?). It’s quite the experience (great for backpackers!), a good place to explore the city from, but not a place to stay long-term, nor for peace.

Great hostel! Nice staff, clean and good rooms. Free coffee, tea, water, noodles and sometimes snacks in the lobby. Good location right at the night market and close to the beach and more. Cheapest dorm is a bit more than 300 Bhat/night, so it is a bit expensive. It is however definitely worth the price though. One of the cleanest hostels I've stayed at while backpacking for 5 months.

I stayed for 2 nights and it was amazing! The staff is super friendly and helpful, the location is really good as it is located exactly where the night market is. Every time I need an information about where to go and where to eat the staff/owner is happily provide me the information. He arranged the bike renting for me as well (250 baht/day).

Free coffee and instantly noodles, is amazing even though I didn't try the noodles but it is what we call a good service. The internet and room is good. The bed is separated with blocked bed so guest also have their own little privacy when sleeping.
Oh the rooftop is also adding the value to this hostel.

Great, clean and conveniently located hostel. Easy to find right on the same street as the markets, but surprisingly quiet in the rooms when you want to sleep which is awesome. Super friendly hosts. Low cost but definitely not budget. I will stay again

Located right in the middle of the night market, 10min walk to Hua Hin beach. Hostel is clean and has everything you need. Free WiFi is provided, and no problem for video call! Free instant noodles, instant coffee, fruits are provided!! Oh, anf there's a roof top dining area!

Hostel with beach theme. Rooms are clean. Toilet at the outside of the room are clean also. Friendly owner. If you are muslims, you can try search muslims kebab at food stall, its the only one that halal. Though if you take walk far more to the railway station. There are also muslims restaurant. You should try the tomyam soup. Its super delicious, hot and spicy.

Going back to this hotel after just a week. I love this! The owners are very nice and accommodating. I was surprised that it was in front of the night market itself. it's also just an 8 minute walk from the beach.
