The private double-bed room was super spacious, lots of closet and desk space, very nicely designed and comfy. AC and Wifi worked very well. Water and cleaning services were provided daily. Soap and shampoo are provided. The description said the room included a water boiler which wasn't there but they brought one to my room after I asked for it. I read comments on problems with the call for prayer from the mosque right in front of the window from the room which almost deter me from booking this accomodation, but I honestly barely heard it a few times in my stay and never after 10pm or 7am (and it has waken me up before in other places) and when I did hear it, it wasn't loud, not more than the cars running down the street. The staff were kind and helpful booking tours and transportation. All in all a very pleasant stay during the start of low season.

There is a very nice spacious hang out space next to reception but there is no ambience there and it is barely used. Unlike the reception, there is no AC in this space which would be a very big plus. Like I read in another comment, the place has unexploited potential. There are even guitars hanging from the wall, I assume for anyone to use. If they would put AC and some nice music the place would be really attractive for people to gather or simply hang out there.

The location is great. 1 km away from the beach and many restaurants around the area, 7/11. I love the bed and locker under my bed where I can store my stuff under the bed, great function design, and convenient for guests. The dorm room is pretty lage than others. They have a common area got guests to chill and sit there while waiting for tour pick-up and luggage storage after you check out.

The curtain for the bed is too short, I wish it could cover/close the whole bed because light comes through my bed, hard to sleep. The toilet bidets and shower need to change. Lastly, the smell of usage from the pipe. It smells so bad and pretty strong.

Staff booked all trips and transfers- do not book directly through tour operator as hostel secured big discounts compared to what was on the flyer Location pretty good, bit of a walk from beach but not too bad. surrounded by restaurants, shops, massage places Two bottles of water provided per day

Bed was rock hard Noisy at times - to lock the door behind you have to pull it hard so bangs. Chairs scraping on the hard floor, traffic noise. Need earplugs but as expected for a hostel No social activities facilitated by hostel, the ones advertised were not running

The locations great. Staff was friendly. There’s laundry right next door. The storage lockers are very large. Ac was nice and cold. Soft comforter. Very fair price.

It could be cleaner. The laundry area had a lot of issues. The staff did correct those issues for me though. The biggest thing I disliked was the way the beds are setup. I have never stayed in a hostel that had the opposite beds positioned so you are facing each other (like foot to foot staring at each other). I found this very strange, slightly uncomfortable esp considering this hostel has limited partitions/curtains. Esp considering if the other bed has their light on, there is nothing to block it. I ended up hanging my towel there and that helped some. I think a partition should absolutely be placed between the beds to improve guest comfort.

The location is quiet nice because it's right in the middle of Ao Nang road. So you can walk to the beach or to another side. Back to the hostel review. You will pay 300 baht deposit for a key and a towel that the receptionist will give you back after check out. I stayed in the mixed dorm on the 3rd floor for 6 days for $73. I was okay with carrying my 15 kg luggage on the 3rd floor by myself even though I didn’t expect that so be prepared 💪 Our room had 6 beds. Mostly people were staying for a night or two. Everyone was respectful of each other’s space. Each bed has a curtain and a drawer space for your belongings with a hook to put a lock on it, but the hostel don’t give you a lock. I guess it would be weird if they had access to your stuff, right? You can use your own lock or buy one in 7-11 nearby. Showers and toilets were clean most of the time. There was body wash and shampoo available there as well. Most of the staff was friendly. 95% of the time I was talking to one lady that wore hijab that she is an angel! She was super helpful with all the questions I had and helped me booked a few trips with discounts applied.

I got foot fungus from showering once without slippers in a common space shower

Very chilled vibes, clean rooms & showers. Good location (about 15 mins from the beach). They can arrange day trips & taxis. Tea and coffee area downstairs was nice. Good amount of storage space for bags in your room (with possibility to lock it) as well as a good privacy curtain.

The beds aren't the most comfortable, but it's not the end of the world. Also some of the other girls said their plug sockets next to their beds didn't work, but there is a communal one in the middle of the room.

The private room was such a nice size, really comfortable bed and lots of windows so it was very bright. Also really good air con. The hotel is in a good location about a 10-15minute walk to ao nang beach. The hotel staff were also so helpful whenever we needed them!

The noise from the road outside is quite loud, maybe this was just because our room was at the front but we got earplugs and slept fine!

This is my second time going back to Pop-In Ao Nang and when I go back to Ao Nang, I’ll probably stay there again. The staff are great, super friendly and helpful. They even remembered me from my last visit (probably because every day I had new questions). They’ll arrange any trip or transfer you want/need to do and the prices are better than getting it from the street. The rooms are clean and cool, even without the air con on. Beds are comfy, you get a towel when you arrive. I

I have zero complaints about this place.

The staff were super friendly, I asked them so many questions we were on first name terms very quickly. They helped me book anything I wanted to do, taught me Thai words, gave great advice for trips that they thought were better than the one I was looking at and what to do in my next location. The local was perfect, a 10 minute walk from the beach and right amongst all the night life, but not so central as to he noisy. I would definitely stay here again if I go back to Ao Nang.

The beds were super hard. I like a firm mattress but I found these a bit uncomfortable.

Everything, good location on the main road but away from the noise. Big room, clean and bright! (We booked the private room) the staff was very helpful and friendly. We booked all the tours and the ferry to phi phi with them as they had better prices than anywhere else! Even if we had to pay a 4% extra for paying with credit card! 100% recommend
