    Nice hostel”

    Very clean and good hostel. Close to many restaurants, laundry, motorbike rent, supermarkets and the beach. Very easy to get around the island and visit other beaches by motorbike (but winding and steep roads). There‘s a kitchen with a fridge which is handy. Beds are very firm, but I like that. Love the shower (good water pressure). That‘s my second stay at The Habitat

    great hostel”

    I stayed as a solo traveler at Pajamas in the same area before (closer to the beach) but their doubles are too expensive, so traveling w/ my husband this time we picked Habitat. Nice clean hostel , the double room is huge. There is not fridge in the room but in the common room. We had no issues with the internet but some guests couldn't connect for some reason. The staff is helpful but gone between 8 pm and 8 am. Restaurants are just outside, 7 eleven, a big supermarket, and Tesco are within few mins away and the best beach on the island is a 10 mins walk. There is a small common room though nobody hung out there. Not a social place, quiet, but it worked for us.

    A big surprise in the middle of liveliness.”

    Like mentioned in the title, this place blatantly stands out in terms of pricing. The owner is extremely friendly and will tend to your accommodation needs. Highly recommended for the bottom floor which the owner told me that is for daily/weekly stays while the upper floor are for permanent/monthly rent. Right out the front is anything you would want to see as a tourist: 7-Eleven, BigC Mini, banks banks and more ATMs. Last but not least, the local street food is more than welcomed.

    Relatively the cheapest you could find in Ko Chang.”

    The place is a part of an old dormitory renovated to be a hostel. The hostel part is only on the 1st floor. The room is pretty clean, with TV, no fridge (but there's one in the common room), a balcony to dry your wet clothes from the beach, walkable distance to convenient store and beach (but need to go through another property).

    It was comfortable enough but there were large gaps in the door that lead to the balcony. I will assume that's how a cockroach ended up on my bed. It's a fine place to rest your head at night but that's about it. Oh, it did have good water pressure.
