Wifi here was quite good and they had several wireless points. The only issue was if everyone was on it once then it would be slow. Plus there were a few power cut outs across the island which obviously wasn't the hostel's fault but...
There are lockers which you have to pay 100baht for. You are given a key but you can also put your own lock on this.
You need a swipe card to get in to the main hostel which was great until the power shortage came! You also have a lockable door for your dorm room however this is dependent on your dorm mates.
You have access to two swimming pools during your stay. We went to the beach village one which is on the beach and perfect for relaxing. Plus, it means that you get all the facilities you ant for half the price. Especially because beach bungalows are significantly more pricey.
There is constantly music playing here which is great but not at 8 in the morning. Despite this, it is good for the common area which is outside. There is also, beer pong tables, a large cinema screen and a large seating area. It is lacking an inside social area but you win some you lose some.
For full moon, they sorted out taxis and provided free face paint-result!
Showers and Toilets
So there is a certain lacking of toilets and showers in this hostel. There is one ensuite room but apart from that there are only two showers and three toilets. I am not joking. One of these toilets, is in the bar area anyway so you don't even get access to this later on at night. You do find yourself waiting to use the showers etc. when we were here, especially around Songkran and Half Moon it was about 75% full. So I dread to think about what it's like when Full Moon comes along.
Staff
The staff here are really nice and welcoming. They try and get you involved as much as possible with drinking games etc. They helped to book our onward journey also. I would say, after a drink some of the male members of staff can be a little bit full on bordering on inappropriate and unprofessional.
Breakfast
Unfortunately, there is no breakfast provided at this hostel.
Value for Money
This place is really good value for money. Our dorm cost just over £2 per night. This does provide a good room with a good social area.
Dorms
We went for the cheapest room which only had a fan but this was enough. In fact, most nights it was old in this room so I wouldn't worry about it.
Location
It was a really good location- not too far from each pier and the party locations. However, if you wanted Togo to total wipeout or the nicer beaches you need to get a scooter.
