Doolay Hostel

Great location right across from the beach and good working air conditioning. That’s about all that was good though. The receptionist doesn’t speak English well enough to properly check in guests (as in he barely speaks any), the bathrooms were filthy which normally I wouldn’t care about except for the fact that the showers are located in the toilet rooms ????. I spent one night and then moved to another hostel that was much nicer for the same price.

I stayed in a 8person female dorm, very snug but the beds were great size and clean. The air conditioning was superb. The common areas are very cute and cozy, you could sleep for ours on those couches. This hostel is directly across from the beach. While the view is blocked by some trees, you can hear the ocean and be there in a minute. 24hr front desk and free use of a lock with 300baht deposit. Towel is 300baht deposit, 100baht if used. They recommended good food and shopping closeby. I would easily stay here again in a heartbeat.

Very good hostel, although the rooms could be a little cleaner. No air ventilation in the bathrooms and the no shoes rule were a drawback for me, but for the price it's nothing to really complain about. Perfect location, right opposite the beach. Overall, I'd recommend it if you're on a budget

Excellent rooms, the place was very clean. Excellent service as well, staff showed that they were willing to go above and beyond. After our phone got stolen, the staff did their best to assist and help us go back home. Truly a great hostel

Well let’s start off with the fact that this hostel is a lot nicer in photos than in person. When you arrive the staff are not very friendly. The hostel is in a great location, but with cold showers, no towels provided and cockroaches running around the hostel it makes it not worth the stay. The bed sheets were also not clean upon arrival for several guests, very sandy and you could tell someone has slept in them before. Not to mention this is supposed to be a quiet hostel, but the workers threw a party with their Thai friends singing karakoke until 5am and refused to quiet down. The hostel has great potential but fell short on my recent thailand trip

This place has a great location. The rate was good when i stayed here. Since it's very close to the beach, be carefull not to bring sand with you inside. They try to keep it clean and have a "no shoe inside"-policy and "wash your feet" after a beach trip. They have kitchen, tea kitchen and refrigirator for your fruit and water. Rooms have aircondition and storage for luggage. The interior design is "global-contemporary-hostel"-ish. They have a cousy shared living room and balcony area. Not all staffers speak english well, but those who do, can help you with frequnetly asked questions.

It's right across the road from the beach. With plenty of dining, tours and rental in the area. Cleanliness is alright. Social space is very nice with bean bags and big tv, could do with more visible ban on smoking inside since Chinese seem to not care or not understand that the social room is not the same as balcony. Kitchen is really a kitchenette with just a microwave, kettle and toaster, limited cutlery and few plastic cups and plates. Very limited space in the dorms, no way on earth to house luggage of 6-8 people in the room. Also a party place at times, so don't expect to get a good night sleep. Staff very friendly and helpful.
