Best Hostels in Koh Samui for Solo Travellers, Groups, or Party-goers

Chill Inn Beach Cafe & Hostel is located about two kilometers south of Lamai Beach. It's a bit removed from the main party area but it is located on a nice beach. There's also a shuttle bus that can take you around but it takes about half an hour.

The hostel is made up of two bungalows and a main building. Each bungalow has two dorm rooms that sleep either four or six people and the main building has six and eight bed dorms. All of the rooms are comfortable and air conditioned. There are also several great common areas that stay active and social. It's easy to meet other travelers here and it won't be long before you've made a few friends. The hostel has a bar and cafe as well that looks out on the beach. The views are excellent and this is the perfect place to unwind after a busy day. You can also enjoy both Thai and western food at the cafe.

It's also about a twenty minute drive from the ferry pier that will take you to the Full Moon Party on Koh Phangan.

The hostel itself is a bit small. It's really just one large room with fourteen beds, so depending who is staying there the atmosphere can vary a lot. The staff do know all the best parties and can tell you everything that's going on while you're in town.

The one room is air conditioned and every person has a free personal locker. Each bunk also has a reading light and outlet. The hostel also has a bar and restaurant on-site and guests receive a discount on food and drinks.
