Detailed Reviews
I absolutely loved this hostel. It is so well located, you can walk around and find restaurants, the beach, coffee shops and more. The beds are comfortable, the curtains hanging from the bed kept falling and theres no curtains in between beds, the bed has a storage drawer that you can lock up, descent showers with hot water. Mini bar, inside chillax area, outside sitting area with a mini bar, played some nice tunes while I was there. Theres a self laundry mat right next to it.
The reception is so helpful and they have a huge variety of tours you can do. They also help with transportation to different parts of Thailand.
If you're looking to explore Krabi island this is a good hostel to go to. I recommend it

Booked this hostel with a very budget price. Upon checking, they requested THB 300 as deposit, THB 100 for the key and THB 200 for the towel. If you bring your own towel, they will not charge you THB 200. Overall, it is a clean and cozy hostel. Easily access to all the places around. Motor rental is just around the corner. The only things that I think they need to improve is that they might need to put a filtered water dispenser so that the people who stay here can get some water. They might need to put a few tables for the guest to dine in with food they bought from outside. There is a small staff just in front of the hostel. Convenient if you want to have a cup of coffee, but please don't use their table and chair to dine in with food you bought from outside. Other than that, everything is just fine and clean. Toilet with shower gel and shampoo and with toilet paper as well. Nice and good, next time a visit to Ao Nang, I might stay here too.

The location of the hostel is very good , located directly on the busy street about 10 minutes walk from the beach.
Unfortunately, the private room was very shabby, the bed was broken and it smelled musty !
Have already had much better private rooms in hostels (Thailand) for the price!
I would not recommend it!

would give it a 3.5 if I could - very clean big private room, had water every day, and easy to use self service laundry next door. downside is you don’t get the towels changed and the downstairs smelt like damp. the location isn’t the best, would be better to stay closer to the beach/market, but it was fine for excursions and pick up.

Stayed for 5 nights, beds could do with a partition in-between the foot, but the curtains are decent. Showers are hot, chill out area is swanky and spacious, not a party hostel which is nice as you can get a great nights sleep. Make sure to book online for ÂŁ5 a night over ÂŁ8 a night if you do it in person. Big lockers also gr8

I did initially post a review about a safety concern regarding a man following me and an insensitive receptionist; however, the owner has responded to me professionally and has addressed my complaints. She spoke to the receptionist about what happened. The superior room that I stayed in was comfortable and spacious.

Great clean hostel. The staff are very helpful. Make sure and book trips through them as they get it for a third of the price to other places. We went on trips with other couples and they paid alot more for one person than we did for both of us.

We stayed at pop-in while on vacation, and we loved it. The rooms were nice, and the bathroom and living areas were always clean. The staff was very friendly and willing to help us get information about services since everything was still closed for covid. Would definitely recommend for someone who doesn't want to spend a lot of money in Aonang!

Very basic but was absolutely fine. We had a private room which was enormous and had a giant bed. Location is alright and not too far from the beach/nightlife. It does have a slight smell of damp downstairs but the rooms are all fine and very clean. Laundry facilities are next door and very easy to use.
