The Pier 519 Hostel

The hostel is super clean and the beds are sorta capsule like, but comfortable nonetheless. My favourite part however was the staff! These guys are super funny and are ready to help out.
You can book ferry tickets and island tours and what not straight from them.

Another awesome thing is that it's super close to the pier as well as the main beach, so you can get off the ferry and immediately be at the hostel after your journey, and then hit the beach right after!

Loved this hostel! The staff are probably some of the best hostel staff I've encountered along my many travels with Nhui and Vida being extremely vivacious and creating an awesome social atmosphere. The rooms are nice. The aircon isn't a single unit on one wall, but rather a large ceiling unit that blows down which is much better. Free coffee and bananas were provided every morning which was a very welcome addition to the stay. Can't wait to come back here.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Free BBQ 1 evening as well. Lovely cats. Thank you for the help with tours and a refund on 1 of them due to illness.

WiFi is fast when it works but frequently won't let you connect or knocks you off. Very annoying.

No kitchen or anything which is annoying if you need a bowl or hot water for noodles.

The beds are very very loud and squeaky. Also the mattresses are too hard and sore.

It's 1 big room dorm with maybe 40 people in it. 2 toilets without going downstairs. From 2am the young drunk returners start being noisy and messy (vomit all over the toilet floor - and it's loud so everyone can hear in bed). No staff on site in the evening so no policing. Someone actually tried to get into my travelling companion's bed in the middle of the night!

There are outside toilets and showers too so it's fine but not an amazing sleeping experience.

I wouldn't stay here again but if you're planning on not sleeping much it's all good.

I really enjoyed my stay because if how helpful and friendly the staff were. The rooms are kept very clean unless a sandy guest happens to slip through the staff. This design of the hostel isn't going to win any awards but it is nice enough to feel comfortable in.

Immaculately clean for a hostel, I was very impressed. Only downside was I ended up getting bedbugs from this place :( but it was likely brought by another Traveller than because of the hostel. However not very social, good if looking for quiet comfortable stay.

It has been only 2 months since the hostel is opened. There are very few hostels on the island and this hostel is one of a kind. The staff are very friendly and kind. Hostel is well maintained and very clean. It is also very near to the main pier. I just never want to leave this hostel. I highly recommend it if you are looking for a hostel.

Newer hostel kept clean by very nice staff. Most convienant location if you are coming on and off the ferry's/speedboats can walk to it In 2 minutes., it's literally right on the pier. Not directly in the central party zone so fairly quiet at night. (3-5 minute walk and you are in it tho)
Good wifi and given bottle of water and banana upon check in. 2 big hostel rooms with keypad access upstairs with many beds/ppl in each room but bunks are spacious with curtians and everyone gets a locker big enough for your bacpack and carry ons. Nice hot water in the showers, only 2 enclosed shower/toilets ..rest are open air..with mosquitos. Over all great affordable place to catch some rest on a quick phi phi stop over.
