Riverview Hostel

Ko Chang


In a beautiful riverside house overlooking the canal, not far from the beach, this hostel has spotless mixed and female-only air-conditioned dorms and a very tidy upstairs double room (with shared bathroom). A balcony deck overlooks the river where fireflies play at night and breakfast can be enjoyed in the morning.
