Situated in Baan Tai, 200 metres from Baan Tai Beach, Na-tub Hostel features accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace. The property is around 400 metres from Baan Kai Beach, 2.7 km from Thong Sala Beach and 8 km from Phaeng Waterfall. The hostel offers an outdoor swimming pool and a shared kitchen and free WiFi throughout the property.

everything about this hostel was fantastic - the location is great, not too far away from the happening but far away enough to relax if you want to and super close to a small night market, the dorms are spacious and modern, beds super comfortable & big, the bathrooms are nice and clean, the pool is great and the staff went above and beyond to make the stay as pleasant as possible for us! Wish I could’ve stayed longer, but if I ever come back to Koh Pha-ngan, this is where I’m staying!

Really kind couple run the place. It’s got quite an Airbnb feel where they let you get on with it but are super attentive to any requests you have. They were also very chilled around the Full Moon Party drinking/having friends over and arranged taxis we could buy into if we wanted. Room was far more spacious than the pictures suggested and was great for the price at that time of the month. Location is perfect (easy access to north, pier and Full Moon) with great restaurants minutes walk away (especially Mama’s Thai Food).

An Unforgettable Stay at Echo Beach Hostel: A Hidden Gem in Koh Phangan I recently had the most incredible experience at Echo Beach Hostel in Koh Phangan. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted by a team of exceptional hosts who went above and beyond to ensure my stay was nothing short of amazing. Ealine, Brittney, Macey, Leela, and Camile were absolute stars, making sure that every aspect of my visit was comfortable, organized, and enjoyable. The staff at Echo Beach Hostel truly stood out for their exceptional accommodation and attentiveness. They were not only incredibly friendly but also genuinely cared about making my time there unforgettable. We embarked on numerous excursions together, played exciting card games, and bonded with other guests, creating a social and fun atmosphere that I will cherish. The dorms at Echo Beach Hostel were incredibly cozy, providing a comfortable and relaxing environment for a restful night's sleep. The cleanliness of the toilets and washrooms was impeccable, as they were tidied and maintained on a daily basis. This attention to detail truly made a difference and contributed to the overall comfort of my stay. Let me take a moment to acknowledge Mathew, the bar manager at Echo Beach Hostel. He was an absolute delight and one of the best in the business. Mathew consistently went above and beyond to ensure that everyone had a fantastic time at the bar and common area. His kindness and dedication were evident, and thanks to him, I even received free entrances to two unforgettable parties. As a DJ himself, he always curated an incredible playlist, creating a vibrant atmosphere at the bar. If you're lucky, you might even catch him spinning some tunes at Echo Bar! Another standout team member at Echo Beach Hostel is Camile, the event and excursions expert. If you're seeking outdoor adventures, Camile is your go-to guy.

Welcome to the most famous party hostel in Thailand. As we are getting busier and busier we highly recommend to pay full price of your reservation at any time.

We are both a party Hostel and a Sport complex

Phangan Arena is an amazing hostel for how low the price is. Very clean rooms and comfy beds in the dorm room, everyone I met was incredibly friendly (Especially the staff at the hostel), and of course, there are so many things to do at the hostel and all of its facilities, as well as the general area its located at on Koh Phangan. The food and drinks served at the hostel are definitely worth trying too. Definitely try this place out if youre on Phangan

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    One of the friendliest hostel I have stayed at. The owner is a lovely guy, always available to help. Had a small bike crash, after which he was there to reassure and guide me in the reimbursement process. As for the accommodation, I stayed in the bunk bed room which was exactly what you would expect from a budget accommodation, not too luxurious but still comfortable enough and secured with private lockers. However, if you wanna get a more exclusive experience, they do offer single bed rooms which the other guests I talked to recommended.

    The staff at the reception was nice and inform you about every activity which are on this week. The beach and the chill lounge, with free pool table are perfect for backpackers. The location is very convincing, renting a bike is near, there is a cute night market just a short walk away and it’s a great place to meet new people. There are always parties and taxis if you like to go partying. If u don’t like noise I don’t recommend you Echo Hostel :)
