The four-bed women's dorm has an en suite bathroom, clean quality sheets, a firm mattress and even a towel. The hot shower has shampoo and body wash, and the bathroom's drying rail and hangers are handy. Rooms are new, very clean and set back from the main road, so it's quiet, though the free-range roosters will get you up. There's a mini fridge in the room, a kettle and free water behind reception, but no kitchen. Washing machines are in a covered area with tables, chairs and power outlets for working, though the tables could be larger for laptops. Scooters are available from the manager for 250 baht per day, with a discount for longer rentals. It's a five-minute walk to the beach, 7 11 is next door, and the bus picks up at McDonald's a few doors up.
