🌍
Thailand, 168, Chaweng, 62 Chaweng Beach Rd, Bo Put
● Center: 1 km
🌞 Beach - 4 min

Guests praise the social atmosphere and lively common areas, mentioning easy opportunities to meet people. The staff receive frequent compliments for being friendly, helpful, and fun. Rooms are described as clean, modern, and comfortable, with some calling the showers the best on the island. Good location close to the beach and nightlife, with many restaurants and bars within walking distance. Available entertainment includes billiards, karaoke, and social games like beer pong in the lobby. Noise from the adjacent nightclub is a recurring complaint, with loud music and vibrations lasting until 2-3am or later. Some guests note poor soundproofing between rooms, which affects sleep quality. A few reviews mention cleanliness issues in public bathrooms and shower areas, including unclean toilet seats and sinks. Rooms can feel small and some lack windows or balconies, leading to a boxed-in feeling for some guests. Parking is difficult and the contact phone number reportedly does not always respond.

dont get me wrong, its a great and good looking party hostel and the staff are lovely, locations amazing but the public bathroom downstairs i had loads of dried in watery poo ON the toilet seat for literally hours as no staff went to clean the bathrooms, this was 9am btw as we were waiting to check in at 3pm. and u need to wear shoes in the shower as i dont think the cleaning staff do as good a job as they make out - lots of yucky bits coming off and the sinks are genuinely vile.

Amazing stay in the heart of Samui.
It’s a nice, clean, center located place to everything you want, beach is just across the street and lots of restaurant/nightlife at walking distance. The staff is very friendly and helpful and they maintain good cleaning.

Lovely modern hotel/hostel
Great to make friends very social place to stay and food was very nice
Don’t stay here if you want to get some sleep, it’s right next door to a nightclub so music is loud till 3am most nights
My room didn’t have a window or balcony so felt very boxed in
13.11.2025 Spring
Amazing hostel! Would definitely stay here again! Lovely pool, staff, bar! Fun games to play in lobby including pool, beer pong, and ping pong. Best shower I’ve taken this whole trip! Also, the most comfortable bed I’ve had at a hostel in ages.
06.11.2025 Guest
Location is good. Decently clean. Before you make the booking, be prepared not be able to sleep till 2AM because of the loud sound and vibration from next door club. If you are party animal then maybe it's a plus for you. In addiion, the sound proof is very poor between rooms so you know what it means when it comes to that .

Awful location…impossible to park… lots of drunk people…contact number does not respond on the calls
26.10.2025 Cecily
I really loved this hostel so much and the staff were 10/10 but the base from the separate nightclub downstairs is so strong you will not sleep. Socialtel were really nice and gave me a full refund without hassle. The building is made of concrete and my bed was literally shaking until 2am, and that’s off season! Earplugs will not help you here lol. And then at 8am smooth jazz gets blasted from the hostel reception ahahahaha. It was genuinely deafening though, I had to book another emergency hotel. I heard it goes on until 5am in peak season. I understand it’s a party area but it’s just not fit for purpose at all unless you are partying until 3am every night lol. Having said all this the rooms are gorg, the staff are so fun and the vibes are immaculate so maybe stay somewhere else and come back and visit for the social events.

Great party hostel! I stayed here with friends for about 5 days. The whole place is a vibe from the pink sands to the pub crawls. The common areas are so lively it was easy meeting people. Rooms are very comfortable with a bathroom attached. And the staff are lovely as well. Good times and great people id love to stay again.

Rooms were great, with good amenities. Hotel is fun and in the centre of Samui. Walking distance to everything you would need and easy to get grabs / taxis. Hotel staff are super friendly. Great fun location to stay at .

Basic things. Nice and clean. Great staff.

Been here several times. Wife and I love it. Close to shops. Beach and bars. Very clean rooms! Will stay again.
23.04.2018 Hans
To be clear: didn't stay here but spent some time at the beach bar P&P. Friends wanted to have shisha (which technically is illegal apparently in Thailand). Service is "just ok" but the guy running the bar is borderline rude, unfriendly, totally not motivated... And drinks are not cheap.

Super convenient location. Literally connected to central Samui Mall. Room is ok , a bit noisy from the hall way. Shampoo and body wash has no label , you have to guess which one it is. Front desk was friendly enough and we were able to leave our luggage for a few hours after checkout. If you are looking for something that's close to everything , this is the place !

This is a student dorm * just to give you a clear picture.

The place is much older and run down than in the photo

Room is clean but the MUSTY DAMP smell everywhere.

Corridor is exactly what you have in a student hall … very old, smell and run down.

Location is right next to Central shopping mall - convenient for those who wants to go to shopping mall.

Reception is unfriendly with an unwelcoming look.

Not worth the almost 5 stars review
10.08.2025 Elena17
The location was really good the hostel is directly next to the Samui Central Shopping Area.
The room were clean, the bed was really comfortable in my opinion and they offered daily room service. There was only one big disadvantage for me, the air condition only works when the room key is in the room. So every time you leave the room, the air is standing, really warm and smelling really bad also because of the toilet paper in the trash, ...
Another problem with the room was that the a few towels had stains on them.
All in all we really liked the stay, if you want to close to the center this is the perfect Hotel.
Tipp: Ask for a room in the 2. house out of 3, because there is the rooftop pool and the laundry room.

I review hotel rooms on the level how my sleep and therefore my rest was.
It was very bad. The walls are so thin, that I was woken up a couple of times because my neighbors were talking loud.
In the room are two very bright blue LEDs. They are so bright, that the room is not dark at all. It's blue. I tried to cover them with a towel which worked so so ok. On the ceiling there is a smoke detector, which is very good, but it has a blinking led light as well, very annoying in the dark as well.

My Rest factor was very low. Everything else of the stay was ok.

The COSI is not a luxury hotel but it is exceptionally good value for the price.
Simple rooms, clean, well presented with minimal extras. A great place to stay if you don't intend on being inside the room much, as the room is very plain and has no balcony or view.
Very good location at Samui Central. Room was quiet, clean, comfortable beds and pillows. 5 minutes walk to the beach and 10 minutes drive to the airport.
Housekeeping staff and staff working at the front desk were friendly, helpful and welcoming.
