I really enjoyed staying in Silver Na’s. The hostel was very social without being a party hostel, while I stayed there everyone was more focused on diving or beach days. The hostel offers a free shuttle service to a different beach every day which is a great way to see Koh Tao if you aren’t going to rent a scooter. The location is great, an easy 3 minute walk to Sairee Beach and the town area with restaurants and 7 eleven. Would highly recommend if you’re looking for a more chill vibe while also having the social element.

The best feature of this hostel is the hospitality of the host. She is a very caring person, that makes you feel at home right from your arrival. Many people prolong their stay here. The other guests are also very nice. Perfect when you are looking for a social, but not loud party hostel. Matresses are also great :) value for money +++

My favorite hostel in Koh Tao. The receptionist with the dreadlocks is a sweetheart and I came back to the hostel thanks to her kindness. The dorms are comfortable with enough space and the bathroom is neat and clean. They organise a free shuttle ride to a different beach every day and take us to a spot to see the sunset every two days. Very appreciable!

All hostels in Koh Tao

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is 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 bit more.

Beds were comfy, the common area/restaurant is a great opportunity to meet people. The staff is international and very social and accommodating. The owner hosts weekly events like movie nights or bbq, even though it’s a social hostel it wasn’t loud at night. When i first arrived i was handed a towel and allowed to shower, even though I arrived way before my check-in. Daily cleaning of the dorms. Perfect hostel for backpackers or anyone who wants to meet new people!

The owners as so lovely and so helpful. Beds were comfortable and clean and private. Facilities were great. Free tea and coffee and a fridge. Lovely little balcony area and in a great location, close to everything. Everything about this hostel is perfect. Safe and secure too with key fobs to enter the room.
